The following list of sovereigns is for coins in stock as at our last update of this page. It is best to check availability before ordering or give alternatives.
We have recently bought a quantity of shield sovereigns, and have got dates in stock which we haven't seen for 2 or 3 years. The Uncirculated 1871's are the best shield sovereigns we have seen in ages, but are now almost sold out.
