Sell Special Year Proof Sovereigns – We Pay Real Collector Value

Stop Selling Your Proof Sovereigns for Scrap Value – We'll Pay You What They're Really Worth

If you’ve got a proof sovereign from a special year – boxed, raw or graded – don’t let a bullion dealer fob you off with spot price. These coins were never meant to be traded as just gold. At Sovara Coins, we know what they’re actually worth – and we’ll pay accordingly.


We Buy Proof Sovereigns From Key Years at Top Market Value

We're actively looking to buy proof sovereigns from standout years, including:

1989 – The iconic 500th anniversary design with the crowned shield reverse

1990s – A highly collected decade with low mintages and underrated rarity

2002 – Golden Jubilee year with the Royal Shield reverse

2005 – The reimagined modern version of St George slaying the dragon

2012 – Diamond Jubilee featuring a rare one-year-only shield design

2016 – Special James Butler obverse – only used once

2022 – Platinum Jubilee crowned portrait and exclusive reverse

2023 – King Charles III Coronation year, including SOTD and NGC-graded sets

2025 – Exceptionally low mintage modern issue already in high demand

We buy these coins:

Loose / raw (boxed proofs with COA)

Graded (NGC / PCGS, all grades considered)

From single coins to full sets


Why Sell Your Proof Sovereigns to Sovara?

Because we’re not just another bullion buyer. We’re a specialist sovereign dealer who:

  • Pay above spot based on design, mintage and grade
  • Understand collector value and current market demand
  • Buy coins individually or as part of full year-date runs
  • Provide same-day valuations and fast UK payments
  • Actually appreciate what you’re selling

Your boxed 1989 isn’t “just gold”. Your 2002 PF70 isn’t “just another proof”.
We know the difference – and we pay for it.
