See Gold Buffalo in hand — and how it looks from the mint
Sovereign and private-mint bullion — as issued by the mint
Sovereign bullion is struck to a published weight and fineness, machine-fed and shipped in mint tubes or assay cards rather than individually inspected. That is exactly why it prices off spot plus a modest premium, while a graded, designated survivor of the same series prices off merit, grade and pedigree.
Reference plates illustrate the series as issued and are provided for comparison only. The photograph on the left is the piece you are buying.
What makes this gold piece unique
Priced on merit, not melt
Raw silver is a commodity; a graded, designated survivor is not. This piece is priced on grade, designation, pedigree and the public sold results behind it — which is why it holds a premium that spot alone never explains.
