half sovereign

hello

i have a 1915S george v half sovereign. do the sidney mint coins command a higher price over spot ?

Not particularly unless they are rated rare, a 1915S is rated common.  May get a fiver more if someone needs it for a date run but otherwise no extra premium.  Were I selling that on here I would be asking £185 maximum to slightly undercut the cheapest best value half sovereign from a dealer which is currently £187.37 from Britannia Coins.  If the coin is in particularly nice condition, i.e. better than bullion price would go up accordingly

As @Orpster said " If the coin is in particularly nice condition..."

If you included a photo, you might get a better answer.

As it happens, most branch mint half sovereigns turn up damaged or very worn.
