Collectors are concentrating on tracking down an example of each type of pound coin before these are withdrawn from circulation.
One of the main UK coin websites has helped introduce new collectors to this hobby with the production of a chart showing all 24 obverse designs released since the UK round pound was first issued in 1983 in order of scarcity and demand.
This makes the task for the novice collector simpler and more manageable but doesn’t cover the full range of variety most collectors strive to assemble.
Many collectors also wish to acquire an example of each variety of coin from every year these were issued and changes in the portrait of Her Majesty can also add to variety. That is why my eBay One Pound sales page currently offers more than 40 varieties of UK Pound Coin from this period and why I am constantly scouting for those rarer varieties not currently available.
A more complete (but not comprehensive) list of the different varieties minted, in order of year issued, includes:
