Year 2011 Gold Sovereigns
As in previous years, we have proof and uncirculated available immediately after release, from November 2010 for the uncirculated "bullion" version, and about the 4th January 2011 for proofs.
The 2011 sovereigns have the familiar St. George and Dragon design.
Sell-Out Prediction
We can confidently predict a complete sell-out of the 2011 bullion sovereigns, although the Royal Mint's retail sales department "The Royal Mint Coin Club", will probably retain a quantity to support its direct sales operation. It is therefore quite likely that these will start to sell at an extra premium price. In 2009 after our initial 5,000 pieces, we placed a second 5,000 piece order, and also upped our provisional order to 1,000 pieces per week. This would have meant that we alone would have taken about 50,000 of the 75,000 maximum mintage for the year. As it now stands, we are extremely unlikely to receive more than about 25,000 pieces, unless any other distributor fails to take up their allocation.
Sell-Out Prediction - Correct
August 2011 - the Royal Mint have now reached the issue limit on the 2011 sovereigns. We ordered 1,000 coins and we have only been allocated 500, so we are now only taking orders for 10 coins or less. If you wish to order more than 10 please telephone us and we will try to accommodate you.
Issue Limits
For 2011, the issue limit is a maximum of 75,000 uncirculated, the same as for recent years. The issue limit for the proof version will be 15,000.
Update - September 2011
Due to the recent increase in the price of gold and subsequently increase in sovereign orders, we are currently experiencing delays of approximately 2-3 weeks. You may still place an order and orders will be fulfilled in rotation.

Available from only £65.00 according to one of our competitors, (as at 21st March 2011) although they were actually charging £269! Who was this devious dealer? They threaten to sue us for defamation when we reveal the facts.
