Proof Sovereigns

Proof coins have been made to the highest standard. Modern proof coins are produced using the most up to date technology as well as incorporating years old handed down skills. Proof gold sovereigns dies are specially produced to a much higher standard, which is exceptionally important to pick out the minute artist's details in the design. These highly perfected dies are created with the greatest of care and attention. Many hours are taken sand blasting and hand polishing them to a mirror finish. A job that takes great talent and experience.

  The gold blanks used to produce proof coins have to be of the very highest standard, free from any indents or marks. They are first polished to a brilliant shine before been individually struck at least three times under considerable pressure between the high quality dies to produce the mirror like finish.
After the minting process is complete proof sovereign coins are thoroughly examined for any defects, blemishes or imperfections before finally been placed in protective capsules and excepted for sale. These high levels of inspection means that only the finest of specimens ever reach the market place.

The most common understanding of proof is that the flat background of the coins have a highly polished mirror like finish, were as the raised parts of the design have a matt finish. Proof sovereigns make ideal gifts due to the extra fine finish and normally come in gift box sets.

Buying coins at auction will give you a good idea of how the market is moving and what price gold coins are trading at in the private sector. You will also be able to see what sort of mark-up dealers are adding to the coins they are selling. Gold coins will almost always hold their value and so as a short or long term investment and against inflation there is no better bet.
