It's got to be the Sovereign for me! It's all about the history 👌I do prefer the older yellow sov's though 🔥 Great video as always mate

[Silvestmentpms]

Britannia is the better coin for security features, purity, and design. IMO. Another Great video 👍🏻

I have a feeling that 1oz coins are going to be really hard to sell in the near future. I think fractional is best for now so sovereigns for me personally. Liquidity is key going forward.

Really enjoyed this, love how much research goes into all your videos!

[EveryCloud]

For fractional, Older Sovereigns just make perfect sense to me. Cheaper Premiums - Historical Value & potential protection - Easy to handle and store - Well recognised and Extremely liquid.
👍

I have a nice 1980 Australian sovereign that's a nice yellow colour.

[malcolmlewis]

They are both great products!!! Buy both.

[TheSilverStacker.]

Very interesting video mate! I plan to get some sovereigns in the future

[WorldMoneyWins]

I like the Sovereign coins, but wish they were more gold looking. I only haver one and its a half-Sov.
I'm embarrassed to say that I know nothing about it. LOL

As an American I love to stack the pre 1933 gold. Eagles and half eagles usually have a lower premium than bouillon. I do also stack lots of Britannia fractional and 1 oz gold coins. I have yet to buy any sovereigns as they are not very available here. Thanks for the video

[brucecampbell]

The sovereigns and Britannia are very nice and have both. The difference in color is because the sovs are 22kt like AGE where as the Britannia are 24kt
I will continue to buy both depending on premiums. Great video mate.

Being from the united states i must say these brittanias are beautiful. Definitely will own one some day

[showingYOUtheworld]

Both are fantastic coins, but I personally still prefer the Britannia 👍
Security features + 24 carat 👍

[leeperola]

You already know what I'm going to say man!!! 🤭 Sov's all day long. You got a nice sovereign, but it's the WRONG colour. (Hehe) Really good facts F.I, well done.👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Hi FI,
Correct me if I'm wrong, but my understanding is that Obverse (heads) is the front of the coin and the Reverse (tails) is the back. So, Charlie on the Sovereign and Queenie on the Britannia are the front face of the coins (Obverse) and the interesting stuff that we like and buy the coins for is on the back face (Reverse).

[SimonDeBelleme]

Britannias for me. I am all about bullion weight, purity of gold and substance. I am investing long term. Sovs are defo good, but Britannias serve my purpose better. Fractional Britannias are good to have for liquidity and quick sales, but I absolutely love the ouncers. The tax efficiency is ace too. Historical value and collectability is not as important to me as it's all about the gold and the intrinsic value.

Why have a headline stating one is good and the other is bad, when there is no bad of either.
One can be more expensive because it has a Ittle more gold.

[harryzero]

There is no better option of the 2 examples.
Britannias are NOT slightly newer, they are alot newer.
My oldest britannia is late 1990s whereas my oldest sovereign is 1843.
Sovereigns after 2000 are more coppery because they are 22ct gold with cheaper copper.
Earllier sovereigns contained some silver so they are more yellow.
To say britannias are more yellow than sovereigns is misleading.
Some britannias are 22ct gold, pre 2013 and are slightly bigger due to them containing a full troy ounce of gold.
Ive been involved in precious metals for 8 years, and it only in the last few that ive felt knowledgeable enough to give advice.
Here goes, buy sovereigns if you've got cash that would otherwise be sitting in a bank, choose best value from a reputable company and avoid high premium numismatics until you've learnt the pitfalls.

[einbaum]

I don’t want to collect the sovereign because, I don’t want to see the guy’s face with respect.

[asaruptah]

Both are a beautiful investment.
Sovereign are 22 K' gold, whilst the Britannia are 24 K' gold not stated being the difference.
So the Britannia would cost more to purchase.
