Advice on three coins

[Leonmarsh]

Hi TSF 

I have been given the chance to buy two coins for 1,000 each which one would you go for ? Still finding my way a little so any help appreciated from anyone on the forum with more knowledge 

The third coin the 1838 is 2.5k good buy ? Or not 

Are any of them a decent buy ? @SilverMike @shawy2510 @richatthecroft @LawrenceChard

They are reasonably nice coins but I think they are all slightly overpriced

I am probably not going to much help here.

I like the 1838 sov best, despite the lower grade AU55, but of course it is more money!

Are you going to by them to keep or do a Sunday pants down special very soon?

Buy

Out of the group the 1838 is the one I would buy.  

I can’t see a pic of the reverse but at 2.5k I would buy (but it’s at the upper end of what is reasonable in my view for a private sale).  

It’s hard to get a decent example in AU let alone MS

Buy

Trying to avoid the pants down penetrating sales 

Buying to keep to join my deep collection as below of fine English and a bit of Perth mint

As others have already said, the Victoria Sovereign is nice, perhaps make an offer?

The Victoria half is twice as nice!

Your current collection seems to be fractional coins rather than full denominations of either guinea or sovereign and you already have an 1820 half sovereign, so perhaps the coin that most logically fits into your collection would be the William IV example.

Funnily enough though - of the 3 coins and judging purely on the obverse and only on the aesthetics, I would choose either of the other two in preference.  But then I don't have any similar gold coins already.  I'd choose the 1818 half sovereign but I haven't looked at their book values and recent sale values, which would be the first thing I would do if I was making this decision personally.

Good luck!

[Foster88]

I also agree with the others above, the 1838 Sovereign would be my choice out of those.

[SidS]

I'd go for the William IV or the Vicky.

George III halves are more common I would think.

[Stuntman]

Having looked at values this morning, my advice would be to buy all three of them if you can afford to.
