It was a little smaller than I thought it would be (having the experience of buying 1, 2 & 5 gram gold bars before. But it is a nice coin, next time I’ll but the 1/2 or 1/4 S coin…

Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. The one-eighth sovereign is the smallest denomination in the sovereign family, however I am sure that this is a truly exquisite coin.

I normally buy bullion, but this tiny gold sovereign caught my eye with its rich color and lovely design. The way it was wrapped, and all the printed information describing the purchase, was an excellent addition. The speedy delivery made this a perfect transaction. John Michael Cranford
