Why Certified Gold
What is a Graded Sovereign?
A graded sovereign has been independently examined, weight-tested and assigned a numerical condition grade by NGC or PCGS — the world's two most trusted grading authorities — then sealed in a tamper-proof protective holder.
The grade, most commonly PF70 Ultra Cameo for modern proof issues, is registered on a public census. For collectors and investors this means guaranteed authenticity, preserved condition and global liquidity.
All British gold sovereigns are CGT exempt and VAT free — making them one of the most tax-efficient ways to hold physical wealth in the UK.
