And why you can own THIS First-Ever Gold Proof Sovereign at a Crazy Low Price!

Recently I was watching one of my favorite old James Bond movies, From Russia With Love, when the scene where Red Grant (Robert Shaw) was about to eliminate James Bond on the Orient Express caught my attention. Bond offers him the 50 Gold Sovereigns in his attaché case for one last cigarette. Of course the trick case foiled the killer—but there isn't any doubt why Bond's attach?? case was full of Gold Sovereigns and why Grant wanted them so badly.

The World Standard for Gold
For hundreds of years the British Gold Sovereign has been the most-wanted standard of value around the world. M5 and CIA agents carried them for the same reason U.S. Air Force pilots were equipped with them on secret missions over hostile territories: If you get into a jam anywhere in the world, Gold Sovereigns will beat an American Express^™ card every time. This worldwide dominance of the Gold Sovereign dates back to the era when it was said "the sun never sets on the British Empire". Gold Sovereigns were minted on five different continents, so even today they are well known and highly prized in every corner of the world.

Savvy gold investors and collectors have been socking away Gold Sovereigns for centuries. But recently, a new Gold Sovereign has been issued that many knowledgeable buyers don't even know about—and I believe it's the best bargain in the history of Gold Sovereigns.

A FIRST EVER after 1,100 Years!
As one of the top worldwide official distributor's for Britain's Royal Mint, we receive advance briefings about their new issues. So when we discovered that the 2011 Gold Quarter Sovereign would mark the very first time EVER that the British government has certified these coins as First Strike^® proofs, we were stunned - and elated!

Why?

Because such a historic World's First is an absolute collector's dream. And, we knew that the First Strike pedigree could only be claimed by the first 10% of the coins struck.

First Certified First Strikes Command Fat Market Premiums
Collectors covet First Strikes. They are believed to be among the most detailed strikes off brand new, polished dies - which adds to the coin's appearance. And VALUE.

FIRST EVER First Strike Values 2006-W $50 U.S. Gold Eagle Normal Issue PR70................$2,500 First Strike PR70....................$8,000 2006-W $5 U.S. Gold Eagle Normal Issue PR70...................$300 First Strike PR70.......................$500

Consider this: 2006 marked the first time that U.S. Proof Gold Eagles were certified as First Strikes by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS.) As this chart shows, the first ever First Strike pedigree has turbocharged the value of the $5 and $50 Gold Eagle coins anywhere from 60% - 220%!

Near-Perfect PR69 Gem Proofs
In addition to First Strikes, collectors crave QUALITY. The higher grade a coin can achieve, the greater its value. So when I received the entire U.S. allocation of these coins, I immediately reserved only those coins which had earned the near-perfection grade of Proof 69 Ultra Cameo ("70" is perfection.) A certified Proof 69 grade assures that you have a coin that any collector would covet, with independent certification of its virtually flawless quality.

25,000 for the Entire World!
...and the Top 10% for YOU
Another key reason for the Quarter Sovereign's huge appeal is the fact that the 2011 mintage has been strictly limited to only 25,000 for the entire world. But the First Strike designation is reserved for only the top 10% of the mintage. So with less than 2500 coins available (and even fewer of those in Proof 69 Ultra Cameo grade) you can see why this may be your last chance to secure this historic and affordable British Gold Proof.

Five Reasons to Reserve Your First Ever First Strike British Quarter Sovereign Gold Proofs Before they're Gone:

#1: First Time in History.
For the first time in its 1,100-year history, Britain's Royal Mint has authorized an official First Strike Proof Gold Quarter Sovereign. As the first of their kind, these will always be sought-after by collectors. Past history bears this out.

#2: Invested In and Collected Worldwide.
The British Sovereign is one of the most trusted gold coins in the world, from Europe to India and Australia, South America to Saudi Arabia. It's been used by intelligence agents and by pilots operating behind enemy lines. Without a doubt, the British Gold Sovereign is one of the world's most well-known gold coins. This new, first ever First Strike Quarter Sovereign will only enhance the popularity of this coin.

#3: High Gold Value.
This Proof Gold Quarter Sovereign has 1.997 grams of 91.7% fine gold. This is the same purity as the US Gold American Eagle. This intrinsic gold content provides a strong core of value and upside potential in today's strong gold market. Moreover, there is overwhelming demand for fractional gold coins, which has been known to outstrip the capability of some mints, such as the US Mint, to produce them.

#4: Certified Top Gems.
Quality is the single most important factor in determining the ultimate value of a collector coin. PCGS is the "gold standard" of grading. Every coin reserved for you is graded near-perfect Proof 69 by PCGS. The grading fee alone would cost you $45, with no guarantee you would get a top 69 grade.

#5: A British Gold Proof Sovereign for as little as $179???
When you consider the "first ever" status, high gold quality, tiny 25,000 worldwide mintage and Superb Gem Proof 69 grade, most likely you'd expect a price of $300-500. But while our small US allocation lasts, you can own the 2011 First Strike Gold Quarter Sovereigns PR69 for only $199 each!

Or, save even more by salting away a lot of:
Five for just $189 each (Save $50)
Ten for only $179 each (SAVE $200!)

Unfortunately in this gold market we cannot guarantee this price or our availability of these Proof Gold Quarter Sovereigns. In years to come, there's no telling how much collectors will have to pay to get one. Call to secure yours today!
