King Edward VII
Growing up in England I knew what a Sovereign was I even owned a couple myself living there. At that time they were worth One Pound. If I would have held on to them they would be quite valuable today.
This week I came across a couple of relatives (by marriage) on my Family Tree who were given 2 bags of these. I liked their story and loved their pictures so decided to give them a mention.
What a very nice gift. It does not mention how many coins were in each purse my imagination got a little creative, I checked out Google images and this is what I found...
This many? Probably not...
This Many? Not enough!
I decided after 50 years of marriage and ten children that they deserved at least 50 each.
Today's market value on 100 King Edward VII Sovereigns would be a cool Three Thousand Five Hundred and Forty Seven Dollars.
William Mitchell 1836-1917
