1988 Gold Proof Sovereign Bullion Coin

For 1988 gold sovereigns are available in only one version, Proof. There was no ordinary uncirculated version issued in 1988.

For 1988 gold sovereigns are available in only one version, Proof. There was no ordinary uncirculated version issued in 1988.

Proofs are specially struck coins, with a highly polished mirror finished background, and the raised design in contrasting matt finish. They are issued as limited editions, and are more expensive than the ordinary uncirculated version.
1988 proof sovereigns are contained in a plastic capsule within a Royal Mint leather covered box , and are accompanied by a certificate.
They are unnecessarily good for use in jewellery, which would ruin their special finish in a very short space of time, but they are ideal for the person who would prefer to keep them as a memento or family heirloom.

Chose Chards on strength of Laurence’s YouTube videos…he seems very honest and price. I don’t think they can be beaten on price and I was very satisfied with the transaction and the package was delivered next day.

The Star rating should be 5 stars

The Star rating is not just 4 stars but it should have been 5 stars that will not light up, I have spent a lot of time looking on the internet at gold prices most 1oz is mainly at current gold values. However sovereigns have different pricing up to a third more, yet I found Chards prices are very fair prices which I have bought 3 sovereigns this year.

Trusted coin and bullion dealer.

Easy to order on the website from a trusted and established coin and bullion dealer. Item dispatched promptly with insured delivery. Coin received in mint condition with the confidence that the coin received is the genuine article. Chards have a large selection at great prices and are not greedy with the premium on gold coins .
