Hadn't heard of the 1966 four gold coin max before.

Yes, I was wondering if CGT has previously existed in the past at some point on UK minted coins? Has the sale of sovs always been free of CGT in the UK?

Did CGT previously exist in the UK on the sale of sovs, and if so, when did this end?

If I wanted to work out the current spot price of a 20th (or 19th) century full sovereign in GBP, do I take the weight of a full sovereign in troy ounces and multiply by the Gold Price in British Pounds (currently £1318.23)? My sources for these two figures can be obtained at the links below.
 
 0.235420 troy ounces x £1318.23 = £310.33 
Is this correct?

There's also the 'compare' feature on here which will show you the spot price for many popular coins.
I see that you're a silver premium member so you should be able to see this.
Alternatively your calculation is correct. 👍🏻

Yes or easier is that some dealers show the intrinsic value on the listings. Chards for example, so I do that more often than not. Or just keep abreast of the spot 1gm price and do the fag packet maths 

Yes, this is correct 🙂 

I'd only change the price in hours if spot changed drastically.
Different people have different schedules and it takes time for everyone to spot your wares.

i think i pay mine on a bank card.
You don't have to be a premium member to sell on the forum. The main benefit in my opinion is you can see my Covid-19 thread and incidentally see all the for sale items as soon as they are posted.

If you are able to sell on eBay with the £1 selling fee offer activated then that might be a good option for you to maximise your profit.

A lot better than some I have seen in the buy and sell section

Sell on here without doubt.
For a small quantity, possibly. For a larger quantity, probably not.
Go to a dealer, you are unlikely to be offered more than a couple of percent below spot. Unlikely more than £300.
Sure, if you go to a local coin shop, a jeweller, or a pawnbroker, that's possibly optimistic.
Go to a good bullion dealer, and you should be able to sell any quantity and at a much better price. @ChardsCoinandBullionDealer, we would be delighted to take 1,000 off your hands at spot, subject only to them being genuine, and of acceptable bullion grade or better. They don't even need to be George V.
Prices here https://www.chards.co.uk/gold-price/live-gold-price as I speak, with spot £1,346.70; intrinsic sovereign = £317.01 each, immediate payment by bank transfer, possibly cash!
£317 is a lot higher than £300! 🙂
 
Put it on ebay and to get £330, you will have to sell for about £380 to cover the fees of about 15% final sale.
Sounds about right.
Alternatively, put it in an auction with 10% sellers fees and cross your fingers, while waiting several weeks. 
... and who is going to bid 10% over spot for them?
I suppose I should disclose an interest!
 

Definitely could do with better images. The better the image, the more info you give buyers as to it's condition. With those, you can barely tell the year. 
A camera that will take macro images helps.

Yes, do all that sort of business by private message and not publicly 

Hatton Garden Metals are offering £307 a sovereign  
better to sell on the forum

Sell on here without doubt.
If you ask a fair price, you will get exactly what you ask. I sold a 1912M today for £335 inc Spec Del.

I do not know of any dealers who would offer more than £300, even though they would go though the effort of itemising specific sovereigns at higher prices.
you could get a price close to that on the forum.
eBay can be good for specific items, but it comes with attendant risks.

Talking to the owner of Bullionforless in Cardiff the other day, he revealed that he sells unspecified (ie lucky dip) sovs for about £345, but buys at 4% below spot. I suspect most will be similar.  

If you pay online through RM website it gives the option wether to display your address on the label.
You still have to enter your address so RM know who’s sent it should they have to return it to you but the receiver won’t see your address if you select not to display it.

This thread has some relevence 
 

But say someone purchased a Vic sov 20 years ago, and then sells it someone now, presumably RM would pay out on the recent paid price rather than what was paid 20 years ago if it was lost in post?

If you provide proof of purchase, that's what they pay out... Otherwise, you could argue your case as to what its worth but say you're flipping a modern coin, would be hard to argue anything other than RRP
