gold souvereign

[Guest blabla]

hello,

I've 5 golden souvereigns:

- Edward VII, 1905, very good condition

- Edward VII, 1908, good condition

- Victoria, 1895, very good condition

- Victoria, 1887, very good condition (coin with 'young head' of Victoria)

- Gulielmus IIII, 1837, little bit worn

Anyone have any idea what they should be worth?

thx

We'll need a better idea of the condition to value them properly. Can you post a picture?

[Guest blabla]

I'll post the pictures tomorrow (don't have a scanner or digital photogra) but can't u say what the average prices are (or a range or something like that)...

If they are quite circulated, they will either go for bullion value, or just over bullion value which is on average £63 bullion value.

Also, your 1837 soveriegn would be worth anything from £250-£500 in the condition that you are describing however, we will need to see some sort of picture to determine value.

I think the bullion value is around £55 each, unless gold has gone mad since I last looked. Whatever pictures you turn up with Blabla, please email them to me: cp@predecimal.com

Thanks,

hello again,

my brother will scan the coins tomorrow. So I'll post them why I get the jpeg's.

By the way, I think some coins are half-sovereign; does this matter for the value?

And how can u see the difference between half and normal sovereigns?

[Chris Perkins 228]

Yes that matters quite a bit because Half Sovereigns are smaller and thinner and contain half as much gold. It's easy to tell the difference, Full Sovereigns are about 22mm in diameter, half sovereigns are about 19mm.

And you'll have to register to be able to post pictures, or email them to me.

hello again,

my brother scanned the coins (loosy quality and upside-down ... how typical).

I hope u can determine the coins and help me a little bit...

I can see from those pictures that the coins are all well circulated (with the exception of perhaps the Edward VII coins, which could be better). You'll probably find they are worth bullion value only, and I'd be happy to pay the current gold value for them (and your postage) and more if the Edward coins are in collectable condition.

That will work out at least £26.50 per half sovereign and £53.00 per full sovereign. I was of course unable to tell which they were, because I couldn't tell the sizes. Are those all halfs?

I see from the domain name of the picture host that you are possibly in Belgium? I'm in Germany, so a Euro transfer of funds is no problem.

Email me if you like, we can work it out. cp@predecimal.com
