About Us

Sovereign Rarities was founded by Ian Goldbart, a collector of coins for over forty years and former Managing Director of established numismatists A.H. Baldwin & Sons Ltd. Sovereign, a member of the British Numismatic Trade Association, prides itself on providing collectors with a personal and traditional service of the highest professional standard. With a small but dedicated team of specialists, comprising members of the British Numismatic Society, the Royal Numismatic Society, the American Numismatic Society, American Numismatic Association and the Oriental Numismatic Society, we combine over 100 years of experience and can assist collectors with all areas of numismatics, encompassing classical coins from the ancient Greek, Roman and Byzantine periods, British hammered and milled coins, World coins, Indian and Islamic coins, Commemorative medals, and Numismatic Books. Over the years, our specialists have been involved with building and cataloguing many major collections, including the Bentley Collection of gold Sovereigns. We have a great deal of experience in both researching and cataloguing and have been responsible for a number of world record prices. Based in Mayfair, London, we welcome all enquiries. We attend numerous major numismatic conventions and exhibitions in the U.K., Europe, the USA and around the world. We are always keen to buy either single numismatic items or whole collections and are able to offer direct purchase, auction, or private treaty.
