Great Britain Gold 5 Pound Quintuple Sovereign BU/Proof (Random)

Thank you for sending me a wonderful priof. I'm amazed when I see it from time to time. Even those who didn't see the realistic description of the design feel like they're moving quickly.

This is the most beautiful gold coin in my collection. I got a 1984 one with a young Queen. Image details and polish are amazing. Since it a large 22K gold coin, it has a nice long ping sound (to hear the ping, be careful to strike its edge with a plastic pan not inside the coin; the same rule applies to measuring its thickness -- measure the edge only). Very happy with this coin and will buy more when I can.

I purchased 5 coins. The condition is about proof and exceptional. Very happy with this purchase.

Absolutely gorgeous coin in perfect shape; unfortunately for some of the reviewers they may not understand the actual composition of crown gold: it is 22 karat or 92.5% gold by weight and the copper content will give gold a slightly pinkish tone. My coin is stunning and the detail is absolutely perfect. I own several other standard sovereigns, some even going back into the 1800’s. It’s nice to have the larger coin with the extra weight over a standard 1 ounce coin. While it is a simple design it is classic and timeless. I too cannot understand why the other reviewers would rate it so low. I could not be more pleased with the product or the service from Apmex.

My 1981 5-pound sovereign is gorgeous. Everybody who is attracted to St. George slaying the dragon should own this coin because this engraving is large enough to see the many details. Although my coin did not come in a capsule, the detail would indicate that it is a proof coin. At very little cost above spot, I must say thank you to APMEX. I cannot begin to understand how other reviewers could have been disappointed.

Love the design of St George slaying the dragon. Have had sovereigns for over 40 years. However, this has too much of a copper tone to it. Was disappointed in the appearance. Looks like a big penny.

I bought this coin because of its size. And it is big. And well struck as would be expected from the Royal Mint. It is exactly as advertised. But that is the problem. It is, at the end of the day, just another sovereign, only bigger. There are other more appealing alternatives such as the 50 Peso or even a 1 oz coin such as the St. Gauden Double Eagle.

At 1.1775 oz Troy, the £5 Sovereign certainly commands respect as it is noticeably larger and heavier than most other gold bullion coins. The £5 Sovereign offers much greater detail to Pistrucci's depiction of 'St. George slaying the dragon', bringing out the full grandeur of the design. The coin's 22k 'crown gold' composition, classical Gold Standard weight and timeless design make it a must have for any coin collection...

This is a very clean looking coin as it weighs over one ounce. This will not be my last purchase of the 5 pound sovereign. Came in BU condition. Thank you APMEX for keeping quality high.

I had been looking to purchase one of these for a while and decided to try Apmex as their return policy is exceptional,and I am glad I did! The coin I received was indeed a proof and looked to be uncirculated. The Sovereign is one of my favorite designs,and the 5lb Sovereign is the granddaddy of them. I am very happy with my purchase and will buy another when in stock.
