The shipping is always fast
The shipping is always fast. The books included are a very nice bonus. The 1/8 sovereigns are a real good buy as far as price per gram. I wish the larger coins were priced similar. I would like to see 1/4 and 1/2 sovereigns priced like that.

Beautiful eighth sovereign coin!
My purchase of the eighth sovereign D Day 80th Anniversary commemorative coin was easy!
