Buying sovereign coins are our most favoured way of investing in gold. We will soon be giving the approximate price you would expect to pay for a single bullion sovereign coin. This is based on good to fair condition, various heads from Victoria to latest Elizabeth. These are purchased on the basis of their gold content rather than any collectable or “numismatic” value, though you should be able to obtain coins with memorable years, such as your birth year if the dealer has one available in the bullion category.
