Other full sovereign.

Whether it's a 1968 or 1963 I'd say around £385-£390 as Gillicks are currently hot and condition looks good.

[Orpster]

1911 Spot + £10 because of condition, the Gillick £385 - that's one of the higher mintage years

You have definatly been on the calpol

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

It's 1995 the blurry one. Ah right so if they have their boxes (they do, ones got a card as well) they are more valuable?

More saleable certainly, and to a lot of people more valuable.  Without box and COA their value is always limited for proofs

Yeah that one seems to have had a rough time think the other was in much better shape. They were stored in tissue in a box.

Cheers for the help guys, I'll have to figure out how I go about selling them. Not sure what to do with the watch, scrap it's probably worth a bit just wonder as it's in decent condition and working it maybe worth more as a watch.

Best way to sell would likely be on here ( maybe even do an auction and let the true market value show)

I'll have a look at it tomorrow if I can get 5 minutes without the kids effecting my limited attention span. Can you do a reserve price on an auction?

You can but honestly (with gold) there's no need, it will put people off and I've never seen gold undersell on here.

State condition accurately and honestly, clear pictures, but you will likely have to offer to post first to established buyers ( nothing personal, but as a new member it's for safety reasons) just make sure to read prospective bidders feedback carefully.

No, ebay is like the wild West when it comes to precious metals lol 😆 

On here is 10 times safer.

I think the watch is London 1923, although the date letter 'h' should be gothic style and it's hard to see in the photo of its gothic or plain.

No idea who PW is but Wright and Craighead watches seem to come up regularly in auction (Christies and Bonhams), so it could be worth more as a watch.

Edit: After having another look, it looks like the 'h' is plain not gothic so that would make it 1903.
