Could someone tell me how to tell the difference between a half
sovereign
(uk) and a sovereign. I have a coin book but the details are not
sufficient
to determine what's what. I've got a 1937 George V1 gold something or
other
with no perforated edge and I'm trying to work out how much it is worth.

Half sovereign 19.0 mm diameter
Sovereign 22.0 mm diameter

Yes, 1937 sovereigns did NOT have a reeded edge.


Oly, I have a couple of doubles I would like to sell, most of them
Edwards, are there any dates that are rare?
Thanks!


No. All came as proofs, one year only. If it's a Eddie VII then it's a one
year type again (1902), but the kicker is the Syndey one (S on the coin,
often fako). There is also a proof which goes for about $200 or so more
than the circulation grade one.


Mine are all regular (no proofs, I don't know if in that time proofs were
made at all...) and the
dates a

Edward:
1902
1902 P
1905 (probably a P but I am not sure, it can even be an .. S:-))
1906
1906 P
1907
1907 P
1910

I also have doubles:
two George 1918 I.
two George 1912 P
one George 1918 P
one George 1911 (a nice BU)
one George 1913 (also a nice BU)
two Victoria 1898 and 1899 but in XF condition....

(I also have one Canadian 1917-C but I am not selling this one;-))

Now, what do you think, is there any rarity among them?
Do they worth more than bullion?
Is it worth to put them on e-Bay?

tnx

Only rarity in the Ed VII are the -C ones. Since you listed some
date-mint combos that do not exist as half sovereigns I assume these are
Sovs.

I also have doubles:
two George 1918 I.
two George 1912 P
one George 1918 P
one George 1911 (a nice BU)
one George 1913 (also a nice BU)
two Victoria 1898 and 1899 but in XF condition...

Other than 1911 proofs no double sovereigns were made for G VI. Only 2
pound coin was in 1993 (MS and proof)for OH Vicky. Suggests that these
are actually sovereigns (or uhh.. something else).

(I also have one Canadian 1917-C but I am not selling this one;-))

The 1918-I seems to sell nicely... rest sells for bullion +/- some,
usually shipping on eBay. Is it worth putting anything on eBay?
Different question. If youdo not collect them you should/could treat
them as bullion.

Surely you mean sovereigns?

George V not VI.

1893 surely. Finger problems no doubt!

No, 1993, it's in anticipation of Vicky coming back from the dead to
rule again before Charles can ascend to the throne. It's known as the
death head issue and features a skull and crown motif on the obverse.
The reverse, rather than the usual St. George, features Death
personified as one of the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse (adapted
liberally from A. Duerer.) Since the Blair government has bankrupted the
country it is issued in the finest gold plated lead.

No?

Yes, they are full Sovereigns, sorry I didn't mention it.

Full Sovereigns as I said above.

The 1918-I seems to sell nicely...

Do they reach, say $180.00 today?

rest sells for bullion +/- some, usually shipping on eBay.

Even the Australian P Sovereigns?
I've always thought the sell better...

Is it worth putting anything on eBay?
Different question. If youdo not collect them you should/could treat them
as bullion.

Hmmm ... in that case I think it's better to sell them to my local
jeweler...
But I hate to sell them for bullion, I'd like to see them in the hands of a
collector...
Oh, decisions, decisions...

Tnx!

OK, OK, my bad English again, sorry guys:-)
When I said "doubles" I wanted to say that I had two times the same coin:-)
All the coins I am talking about are full Sovereigns.

In the Bill Clinton Wonder Economics years everyone said gold is dead,
totally dead, never to rear it's head again. In a way that was true
considering the reserves that are out there. Those are still there...
we're experiencing the George Bush Wonder Economics.. gold and oil are
up up up!!! Now, who has a lot of those?
