Prethen Pillar of the Community United States 3233 Posts	Posted 06/14/2024 3:07 pm As a Yank, please tell me why I love Sovereigns so much! I was very fortunate to get this 1859 Young Head at gold spot. It's a beautiful AU. I know they're probably pretty common, but still my first Shield. I also got this French 1849-A 20 Franc (I know, not British...but still beautiful). It looks BU. [A bit blurrier than I'd like to post, but zooming on my iPhone I guess is not the best.] Edited by Prethen 06/14/2024 3:11 pm Report this Post to the Staff

jecz79 Pillar of the Community Portugal 655 Posts	Posted 06/20/2024 9:57 pm If you bought both at spot the french one was the better deal. There are many shield sovereigns. Easy to find a UNC one. Yours went for spot because of some wear. The ceres type 20 francs had a short mintage. I still lack that type. A better prize, congratulations. Report this Post to the Staff
