My Gold Sovereign story

 Posted 07/20/2011  04:46 am

I had a very dear friend of mine John Veitch, give me three gold sovereigns . He told me when he gave them to me that should I ever lose them , then not to worry . And that if I ever fell on hard times I should sell them. I was a young man in my twenties then. And unfortunately I had some flatmates or people round me that stole the coins, I never found out who. It upset me but I remembered what John had told me should I lose them. Many years passed and our friendship became more intermittent as friendships often do over time . I had not seen John for around three years when I found out he had passed away in the year 2000. When I was contacted and found John had left me his EXA car and his personal jewelry. I was honored and pleased to learn that while I had missed his funeral he had asked that I spread his ashes. The jewelry he left me was three gold sovereigns two set into cufflinks and a third into a pendant that hung from a antique 18ct chain. I have recently fallen onto hard times out of separation from my wife and stepsons and are having to make a new start. I have put the 1910 and 1925 cufflinks on trademe remembering what John had said when he gave the first three coins to me. A very special friend to be able to help me out all these years after his passing. I shall keep the 1911 sovereign and chain and hopefully I can use it to help someone else in hard times in the future.

In attaining the value of these coins I found this site . I am hoping that someone of this community may end up with these coins that can appreciate the blessings that come with them.

A most heart-felt gratitude to you John - Terry
