Hi I've wandered across this place whilst looking to get a value on a couple of full and a couple of half sovereigns, no idea where is the best place to sell them any advice welcome. Do specific years make much difference, I've seen a few businesses just give a flat price for any year?

Welcome aboard. 

Best place to sell is on here, some years obviously are worth more than others due to mintage/rarity etc, condition will play a role too.

Some pictures would help, so in the meantime I'm going to assume just generic bullion sovereigns. 

Full £375 upwards 

1/2 £190 ish

Cheers I'll have to get them from my mothers, and I'll get some pictures of them.  The full are 1968 & 1911 and halves are 1980 & 1995. I have a gold pocket watch I need to get valued as I'm not sure if it's worth much as the watch or for just told value. My mother pointed out I had them as I've got some work to do on the house and could do with the extra funds, builders prices have escalated faster than most other things recently.

1968 £385 possibly 

1911 £380

The 2 x halves about £190 each

All depending on condition obviously. 

The pocket watch, will go two ways ( maker and gold content) or just gold content if maker isn't known/popular ( ii don't know enough about them to comment on value unfortunately)

Thanks, I'm not sure what condition they are in just been in a box for decades. I've no idea on the watch finding anyone who knows locally seems impossible, I'll do some more digging.

I'd upload some pictures on here when you can.

Pretty sure someone will have an idea on the watch as it will be hallmarked.

Very nice, there's someone on here who was dabbling in pocket watches ( can't remember who it was) but I will tag a few names and see if anything pops up.

@Orpster is this a possible proof or just picture angle

There are only proofs for 1980 mate - assuming its a half anyway

So I'm accidentally a genius 😆 

@Ron77 the values have changed slightly as you have a proof half sovereign ( don't touch it with bare hands though)

@Orpster can you advise on approximate prices please.

I haven't touched them luckily just the case. May I ask what a proof one is please, I am clueless 😬

Other one sorry ones blurry.

Definitely the 1980 but I can't make out the year on the other one.

[Orpster]

Without box and COA, the 1980 isn't worth a lot over bullion, for the 80's that's by far the most common with 82-84 having a fraction of the mintage

The other looks to be a 93?  That's much more desirable as I think that only has about a 5k mintage maybe even a bit less.  Loose I would say £240, boxed with COA north of that up to about £300 on a good day
