Guest Jayne Paterson Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Can anyone help. I have 4 sovereigns which are dated consecutively - from 1909 to 1912. I am considering selling the coins - but I wondered wether the coins are more valuable as a group or indivually.Thanks for any advice Quote

mint_mark Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 I would suggest that selling as a group would make no difference because there is no reason to collect those four as a group. If they were the only four dates of a type or something then yes, but these are the end of Edward VII and the start of George V.I think it would be better to sell them separately. Quote
Sylvester Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 Do they have mint marks?If you look on the side with St. George and the Dragon, above the date in the ground (you'll see what i mean) there might be a letter, S, M, P, C or no letter at all. Quote

Dunno some sovereign collectors collect by date you know! Quote
Peter Posted June 10, 2005 Posted June 10, 2005 always seperatly on Ebay 4x postage at £2.50 a time....albeit more work.Take them to your local dealer (not jEWELLERS) and see what they offer...min £50 each ..do the deal. Quote
mint_mark Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 Dunno some sovereign collectors collect by date you know! Yes, but surely they would like to buy just the ones they need? Although I suppose a few spare sovereigns kicking about can't do any harm Quote

One of them has the letter M (1910) the rest have no marks Quote
Geoff T Posted June 11, 2005 Posted June 11, 2005 That means it was minted in Melbourne. At the height of the empire we set up colonial mints in places where there was a supply of gold. Melbourne, Sydney and Perth all had their own mints, as did - eventually - Ottawa and Pretoria. Quote
