Logically these coins should only ever turn up in UNC condition, as they were issued as bullion pieces after the sovereign had been withdrawn from circulation. They were minted for some years after 1925 and I've heard that some were given to British troops serving abroad in WW2 so they could use them to obtain help and resources if they were stranded in a foreign country.

sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21786 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 5:47 pm Huge numbers of 1925 frozen date London mint sovereigns were struck to stop a problem of good quality, but less than 22 ct. and slightly underweight underweight, fake sovereigns being used as currency in the Middle East. A large number of these found their way into the British bullion reserve, and they were replaced with new 1925 dated sovereigns. This decision had to be made, to protect the reputation of the sovereign as a trading coin. The large numbers of 1925 genuine sovereigns made available successfully stopped the circulation of fake sovereigns. Even in high MS condition, the 1925 dated no mint mark sovereigns can only be considered as bullion coins. Report this Post to the Staff

yellow88 Pillar of the Community United States 581 Posts	Posted 03/30/2018 6:01 pm Cool. Thank you gentleman and/or gentlewomen. I really like the shiny stuff and love sovereigns. In the process of learning how to grade each of the various portraits etc. So the input from you all is very helpful. I paid $320 USD for the coin today. I thought that was a fair price. Do you all feel the same? Report this Post to the Staff
