Looking to buy my first Gold (Does anyone know what these are or if they're worth bidding on in an auction?)

Hello Zhorro no im afraid not these are the only pictures that are supplied. Do you know what the other one is then?

Hi, the top one might be a half sovereign as it is smaller than the bottom coin - but there are fakes of these.  Can I ask what is the auction description that goes with these coins?

The top one looks like a George V sovereign or half sovereign. It is very worn when you compare. The Elizabeth II young head coin - no idea on that one. TBH i would steer clear of this lot - there is something of a dodgy feel to them.

Always cast your vote - Spoil your ballot slip. Put 'Spoilt Ballot - I do not consent.' These votes are counted. If you do not do this you are consenting to the tyranny. None of them are fit for purpose. 
A tyranny relies on propaganda and force. Once the propaganda fails all that's left is force.

No description given - hmmmm - even old timers are left wondering. Could it be a half sovereign or a full sovereign? Very worn. Could it be fake? Only one side of the coins shown. STEER CLEAR - these deals often end in tears.

The Silver Forum is a good place to buy. Buy from an established member with a decent trading record. You won't see the coins as they are posted unless you are a premium member but not everything goes in the first few days. Generally members recommend starting with sovereigns and half sovereigns - the ones you can see photos of both sides.

Bullion by post  have a good site but not usually the cheapest. You could look at Chards, Attkinsons, Baird & co,Sharpspixley to name a few.

Lenny, buy from here.

Decide what you want, look at seller feedback and buy with confidence.

Lots of lovely sovereigns for sale on the forum.

Agreed, buy from here... never had or heard of any sellers on here being naughty.... too much involved.... go for your first buy with one sovereign from here and play it from there....

It does not matter how slowly you go so long as you do not stop.

You'd be better off buying in the forum from a reputable seller, when you get a feel for metal in your hands and get to know more then you'll be a auction pro eventually ;) 

Always shipping with re-used or biodegradable packaging.

Looking to sell some items to fund a holiday. I've got some items for sale. PM me or check my profile if interested: Hitler's 3rd Reich 2 Reichsmark Coins, Roman Imperial Denarii and Other silver coins/items.

1912 H George V Penny, Rare, Uncirculated

# 7483C GREAT BRITAIN COIN, CHURCHILL CROWN 1965 | eBay

Well it is a penny or something like a penny - the DEI GRA is DG on a sovereign.
A penny and a Churchill Crown - neither of these coins are worth a plug nickel.
This is why they do not give a description and do not show the other side of the coins.

To begin with as mentioned above start with a reputable dealer as then you know what you are buying is fine and also it gives you a known good coin(s) to compared with others from more risky sources if you choose to take any risks. One bad coin can wipe out many previous good deals value so be careful not to impulse buy. No one on here has ever had a poor impulse buy, honest 🤫
