Like with all coins, it's mainly condition that affect the value. Rarity and desirability does too, but the main factor is condition. Better than average condition will mean higher than average/bullion prices.

well chuffed it made a staggering £1651 thanks again guys

It's true that gold doesn't seem too well represented here, I'm not sure why, though there are gold collectors among them thar members . It's probably a generalisation but nevertheless true, that there aren't as many varieties among things such as sovereigns as there are with other metals / denominations. For another thing, gold attracts as many bullion investors as true collectors, which may be another reason. But there's nothing wrong with collecting sovereigns, now your interest has been piqued! The good thing - apart from the price of gold - is that you can pick up a whole load of commoner dates for little more than bullion value, especially 20th Century, and lower grade Victoria. We'll always give advice, even on metals we don't collect personally, because if we don't know the answers ourselves, "we know a man who does"! (Not the same man, I hasten to add...)
