Buying Gold Sovereign Coins Is A Smart Way To Diversify In Precious Metals

Government and Federal Reserve problems have caused the United States to face serious financial issues. With tax-and-spend politicians still largely in power through 2012, the tough economic times faced by the nation now are only going to get worse before they get better. The greatest disaster is likely to be a significantly weakened Dollar. When the world’s leading currency is in deep trouble, so is your financial situation as an investor.

As we know, investors around the world have already started pouring their money into precious metals-especially gold. Financial advisors today say that all investors should have 10 to 20 percent of their money invested in gold to hedge against a weakening dollar and inflation. A common investment is in the gold exchange traded fund. Buying British Sovereign Gold Coins is what we are talking about however.

These nickel-sized gold coins were first minted in their modern 22-karat alloy form in 1816 at the beginning of the height of British Empire’s power. The coins depict an image of Queen Elizabeth II on the front, while the reverse side depicts Pestrucci’s “St. {George slaying the Dragon”}. George slaying a Dragon”.

The first British Sovereign gold coins were minted under the direction of King Henry VII in 1489. They were in continuous production until they were discontinued under the rule of King James I. They finally were re-introduced into circulation under the rule of George III. The British Empire minted and issued the gold coins in great quantities from the time of George III until WWI, when the Empire came off the gold standard. Between WWI and 1932, production was reduced and all British Sovereign coins were minted only in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Bombay, Ottawa, and Pretoria.

After a 1932 minting in Pretoria, production of these rare coins ceased altogether until 1957, when British Foreign Policy in the Middle East made the decision to use British Sovereign gold coins as trade payments and minting began again. The Sovereigns were minted as bullion until 1982, when minting of the coins changed to proofs until 1999. In the year 2000, Sovereign gold coins once more started being minted as gold bullion coins. Today, the coins are minted at the Royal Mint in Llantrisant, Rhondda Cynon Taff, Wales.

It’s estimated that approximately one billion British Sovereign gold coins have been minted to date. However, most coins have seen such wear and tear that they have undergone re-coinage. In the Victorian age in particular, a great deal of British Sovereign gold coins were removed from circulation to be re-coined. In addition to this fact, coins that fell below the minimum weight standard were exchanged for full weight coins.

If you value your wealth and your investments, don’t hesitate to seriously look into buying gold sovereigns. Gold Sovereigns are a smart precious metals investment.
