Remove sovs from pendant mounts or not?

I have an Edwardian Half Sovereign in a 9ct pendant mounting.

Purely in terms of value, might it be worth getting the two seperated?

Sovereigns with pendant mounts seem to be popular on Ebay and sell without any problems. Bonus extra weight with the mount = added value

Probably marginal - ex-mount sovereigns can be damaged, and may have been polished, which diminishes their numismatic value.  Having said this, Ed sovs tend not to be rare enough to command a significant premium unless they are in exceptionally good condition.  If separated, the mounting is likely just scrap gold.

You might still be able to sell it as jewellery.  Ebay, as @Midasfrog suggests, may get you a decent price, although they charge a hefty commission and buy-side scamming is a thing there.  There are also buy/sell groups for jewellery on Facebook, and you may also be able to flog it here, although I suspect TSF isn't the best place for that.

I myself would remove and inspect the coin. If there is no damage, the coin will be worth more. You can still sell the mount separately. Today there are so many people buying these fake coin from China and putting in mounts and try to scam the buyer. Years ago it was safer.
