Save £££s
The Royal Mint, not content with its monopoly in producing new sovereigns, has for some years now been buying sets of sovereigns from the numismatic trade, and marketing them to its "Coin Club" members (customers) at exorbitant prices. Sadly because most of its customers are not coin collectors, but ordinary members of the public who, for some reason, appear to trust the Royal Mint.
We have the advantage of having seen a number of the Royal Mint's sets, so we know their typical grades. Some of their coins would not even make it into our lowest grade / price. Otherwise their sets are closest to our lowest graded set.
Gold prices have changed since the Royal Mint originally marketed these sets, so we cannot give exact comparison prices, but you will typically save between £50 to £100 per coin buying from us.
Government Wealth Warning
We wonder if some of the Royal Mint's offerings should come with a "Government Wealth Warning".
