80th Birthday Gifts
We are often asked for gift suggestions for special years such as 80th birthdays. On this page, we try to list some ideas including coins and coin sets from eighty years ago.

Gold Sovereigns
1928 is a scarce date of sovereign, but we usually have them available. We can offer a choice of South Africa, or Perth mints, in various grades. Please look at the George V page of our Gold Sovereigns website.

Half Sovereigns
Half sovereigns were not issued in 1928.
You can find alternatives on the 1928 half sovereigns page of our Tax Free Gold website.

1928 UK Coin Set
We can offer sets of 1928 coins in selected condition, packaged in an attractive blue card.
The seven pre-decimal coin types, halfcrown, florin, shilling, sixpence, silver threepence, penny, halfpenny and farthing.
All attractively packaged in a specially designed plastic case.
Please see our coin sets page for pricing and availability.

2008 Gold Sovereigns
This years gold sovereigns are available. Please se the 2008 Sovereigns page of our gold sovereigns website. We feel that these coins would be a very good gift idea for a 80th anniversary for this year, whether it be a wedding, an eightieth birthday or something completely different.

2008 Half Sovereigns
Similarly the gold half sovereigns are also available. News and details about these are on the 2008 Half Sovereigns page of our Tax Free Gold website.

Four Coin Proof Gold Sets
The 4 coin sets of sovereign, half sovereign, two pound, and five pound gold coins will also have the same design as the sovereigns. Details of these will be updated on the 2008 Gold 4 Coin Proof Sets page of our Tax Free Gold website.

Three Coin Proof Gold Sets
The 3 coin sets of two pound, sovereign, half sovereign will also have the same design as the sovereign. Details of these will be updated on the 2008 Gold 3 Coin Proof Sets page of our Tax Free Gold website.

Proof Gold Britannia Sets
The 4 coin sets of gold Britannia coins will be issued later in the year. Details of these will be updated on the 2008 Gold Britannia Proof Sets page of our Tax Free Gold website.

2008 British Coin Sets
