I had a friend who had a jewellery shop,a little pokey , dusty place in WC1 yrs ago, he had loads of very basic sovs at great prices, he was a big proponent of British Sovereigns for the simple reason that you could authenticate their gold value very easily with medieval tech. One known sov, a pan balance and a callipers. He reckoned ingots were less easy to shift in "dire circumstances" as they needed specialist tech to properly verify. That was when I came close to buying some sovs...they were $85 each at the time
