That's a tad under spot, and what you would normally expect I suppose

Just as I thought, I do have a couple of other coins but there for my two girls. Sure they will be worth more in years to come. 

Best being 1918 I MS64

Not really my area of expertise but I can’t see a 1914 in a 61 being worth much more than bullion value.
Even though it’s a shield no one likes a details grade so again just above bullion on the 75 too.

Not sure on the 1912P or whether it’s a low mintage year.

Thanks

Thanks Orpster

I would buy the shield but I would only pay £360 posted, and to be totally up front I would take it straight out of the slab as it would be to add to a date run

I would pay a deposit and balance on receipt, not the full amount up front.  You may be best checking what a dealer will offer you first but if your interested that would be my offer

Hi,

Thanks, the trader has offered £1025 for the 3 coins. Moving to Oz in a few days so need the cash quickly, best just go with the trader. Thanks for the offer thou,

Cheers

A main trader will pay spot value or maybe even spot - a percentage. Just out of interest what price has your trader quoted you? If you use the buy and sell section you might get a little more. I am expert in sovs but I do not think you have anything super rate unfortunately.

Hi,

Hi,

Not sure what my graded coins are worth

1914 GB MS61

1912 P AU 55

1875 S XF Cleaned

Hi all,

im not a seasoned coin or metal collector by any means however, I have invested in some ltd edition themed coins which have in the short term given me a decent return. I have also heard that silver is the way to invest for the future, any thoughts?

Hi

Its not what is called a variety, the striking is simply poor as it was on many of the Shield sovereign legends, I have shown your coin in negative below and a 1880s Shield sovereign which has an inverted 'A' in Victoria instead of 'V' 

In general you are looking for either a wrong digit or numeral being used, this is most often seen with a correction such as the correct digit or numeral being struck on top of the incorrect one. The 1880S is quite rare as there was no attempt to fix the error, so one can assume the mint completely missed the error.

Hi Allgoldcoins.

Thanks for the information really appreciated. I do have an 1880S but unfortunately its not a shield and doesn't look to have any mis strikes either, that I can see.

I have attached an 1898 which has what looks like a scuff and indentation on, I guessing this is not any kind of mis-strike? Just asking so I don't go and buy anymore in this condition,

Thanks

Hi all,

I have a 1875 S shield gold sovereign, it seems to have a mis-strike on the V, could someone tell me if it is a common issue with this coin please? As you may guess, quite new to this lol

thanks in advance
