Hi Numi. You must have quite a collection! The old shield back sovereigns are beautiful and my favourite design. As I'm looking at them my wallet is packing up and moving out !!
Absolutely beautiful coins, I have a half spade Guinea from the first year the spade design was used, it's not a high grade maybe a fair to good but I love it, the shield design before the spade is a beautiful design then to sovereigns, I love the George and the dragon design's.
Thanks for showing such beautiful history ❤
Danny P do you know where I could buy such coins please? I collect bullion gold and silver but in the last few years taken a huge interest in British gold. Have many Victorian and newer Sovs and half’s but would like to source some older gold. Any good online dealers please
@@barrywhite5899 Hi Barry good morning, there is a auction online called London coins I'm not sure if you'll be interested but check it out also in central London at Embankment station is a coin fair every Saturday which starts around 7am to just after lunch. I'm not sure if that will be of any use as I dont know your location there is also Stanely Gibbons up the road on the Strand.
Let me wake up a little and I'll have a bit more of a think.
Kindest regards
@@barrywhite5899 Barry I have another one selling British coinage, they have everything, I recommend you have a look they are called Coin Trust and have been selling for over 50 years, I haven't bought anything from them but would definitely say have a look, they have what your after I'm sure.
Good luck in finding what you wish, have a great day.
Sincerely
Daniel
the portrait on the 1824 half is really nice , will look fantastic with that fresh label
Absolutely gorgeous stunning coins in this video Numi truly amazing
Long live the gold guinea. Tis a splendid thing, and is much more interesting then the gold sovereign, as their are a lot more of them.
“There’s more of a jiggle to Guinea’s”
Thanks for the history very interesting and those are lovely lovely coins.
Would like a guinea.
yes i love the older sovereigns and i am sure they are well worth collecting great video numi ...
I just started collecting and picked up a Victoria 1843 sheildback and a 2002 sheildback as well as a 1914 George V
Great pieces as always and very informative Numi thanks. I’m a coin collector Numi, if it cost enough to be worthy of grading and it wont break the bank in the long run it goes in the safe.
Great video! 👍
awesome showcase love that garter reverse on the 1820..outrageously good
id be happy with any grade au to ms61/2 ...one day...keep up the great work,, i always leave a few comments...i dont know if it boosts your channel?..who knows
All comments make me happy
The gold guinea is much more interesting then the sovereign, although both are nice. Both the guines you show, look as if they have been plugged. If so, not worth trying to get them slabbed.
Fantastic intro! Its like im back in history class again
Beautiful little coins, real gems ❤
Great video thanks!
The great British guinea is a wonderful coin, much more interesting then the the boring sovereign.
And they are beautiful in design, and much more interesting then the boring sovereign. They cost a lot to buy, but well worth going for.
HI,
very nice coins, I would like more videos about this gorgeous coins, and the history around them if is possible. I really like them a lot.
Thank you, for sharing your knowledge about these coins.
A pleasure
Thanks, Numi. The big drop in PM prices this morning is giving me hope that they may eventually return to 2019 values. I still have much to buy.
Beautiful coins as always. I’m a Sovereign fan, but I’ve begun to consider the half Sovs thanks to you. I think you just might be a bad influence my friend. 😉✌️
Half Sovs are cool too
Fun fact: In Egypt (where I grew up) where the local currency is the Egyptian Pound, the Arabic word used for Pound is officially “Gunayh” but is colloquially pronounced “Guinea” or “Guineh”. You can guess where the word was borrowed from. 😉😎👍
Here’s another equally fun fact: You might be interested to know that after the currency reform in Egypt in the year-if I'm not mistaken-1834, the Egyptian 20 Piaster silver coin was struck to the same weight and purity standard as the Maria Theresa Thaler, namely, 28 grams of .833 fine (i.e. 20/24 or 20k) silver. This same specification remained in force until 1955, when the Egyptian silver coinage was reformed again, and the 20 Piaster coin was minted as a 14 gram piece of .720 fine silver between 1956-1966 (from 1967 onwards, all silver was removed from Egypt's circulated coinage). Incidentally, from at least 1834 to this day, 20 Piasters is still referred to in Egypt as a "Riyal", no doubt as a reference to the Spanish and Latin American 8 Reales coin (i.e. the Reales Columnaria), which was functionally equivalent to the Thaler and was inspired by it, both of these having been used as trade coinage in the Middle East. Thus, the old silver 20 Piasters=a silver Riyal=a silver MT Thaler=an 8 Reales=a silver Dollar. Pretty cool stuff!
I haven't gotten a notification from you in 4 years.
Have you clicked the little bell?
Just looked on ebay at the gold guineas for sale, soooo expensive!
What's anyone's thoughts on the una sovereign 3 coin 24ct set, is there a relative value?
Can you tell me whether sovereigns are a good idea for American collectors? I love the look and history of European gold coins, especially the sovereign, more than the mass produced recent American ones.
Yes, I'm from Tennessee I have a few
Who would have ever thought during the time of their mintage that gold coins used for every day expenses would one day be worth as much as they are now or even how much they will be worth in the future? I guess the quantity made was relative to the population and expected usage. Somewhat similar to today’s expectations, perhaps, common circulation coins will be much more valuable, even with mintages in the billions, in the future for their rarity. So... Try to save a few brand new common coins for your relatives so they might have a small fortune in the future from your small contribution today.
A guinea it will sink, a pound note it will float, but I would rather have a guinea then a pound note.
🤤 love it !! 👃🏻🍻
Did you ever come across any of the Guineas that has the elephants or elephants and castle on them?
How I buy one coin
Would love all of these but i dont see them often on my local forum or fb group i am a part of so would not be easy for me to price and also not super liquid to sell
Actually they are all super liquid to sell in the auction world - all highly desirable
@@Numistacker auction world? So i have to put it through an auction? Give them a cut to auction it? Not be able to instantly list and sell on my forum? Not be able to f2f and get cash with no record that way?
First!? That third coin.... is that a 1/3 Guinea? Never seen one alongside full Guineas
1/4 guinea
Numistacker thank you.... I’ll be sure to try to find one to buy!
1/4 Guinea
Привет,а это ваша коллекция?
well done Joe, sanity returns to the USA
I just learned from the metal detecting world that hr brits have a very similar coin to the Aussie sov, I've been into metal detecting for 2 years seen many channels even many British hunters and only now I'm hearing one talk about the guinea lol, yeah bit unusual considering I've been following 19 different British metal detecting TH-cam channels and not fuçking one talked of the guinea in ANY of their videos, so does that mean there's not as many guineas to be found? So they don't disgusts it? 🤔 From what I understand there is plenty of Aussie gold sovs out where waiting to be found and even now ppl still finding them
A shame your spade guineas are holed, and plugged and filled in with gold. Sadly many were, and the collector has to watch for this.
Second
