Mintmark Collections
We offer for sale complete mintmark collections of British sovereigns.
A detailed account of the 7 mints including the 6 branch mints can be found on our Mints & Mintmark page, together with close-up photographs of all the different mintmarks.
The following sets contain one each of the mintmarks issued.
George V is the only monarch for whom all 7 mints and mintmarks were issued, which is why we offer a George V mintmark set, but we also offer "our choice"
Price & Availability
All prices include our attractive and exclusive case, except for the Royal Mint sets, which will be in the Royal Mint's packaging. All prices are subject to fluctuation.

Save £350!
The Royal Mint, not content with its monopoly in producing new sovereigns, has for some years now been buying mintmark 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.
As we wrote this, the Royal Mint's latest price on its George V mintmark collection was £1,245! We should point out, in mitigation, that the Mint's collection does come in a quite impressive wooden box, with each coin in its own capsule, and with an informative booklet / certificate. At a pinch, the presentation might be worth as much as £50, but on the negative side, the quality of some of their coins is rather variable. 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.
Even our most expensive set is less than the Royal Mint's offering, for considerably higher grades. Perhaps we should increase our prices, but we just can't bring ourselves to charging rip-off prices.
Superior Quality
The certificate accompanying the Royal Mint's sets states that the grade of the coins will be "Very Fine or better". Our lowest graded set is VF (Very Fine) to EF (Extremely Fine), so the coins in all our sets, are superior to those from the Royal Mint.
Government Wealth Warning
We wonder if some of the Royal Mint's offerings should come with a "Government Wealth Warning".
