Raoul Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Hi guys long time between drinks, i found this 1882 half Sovereign inches in the ground with my metal detector, its in real good nick i have a coin book but its 15 years old and says its worth $250 dollars or 106 pounds.I was wondering if anyone has a currant book and wouldn't mind looking up to see if it has gone up in price. Thanking you Raoul. Quote
Peter Posted September 20, 2005 Posted September 20, 2005 Hi RaoulFrom your pictures I would grade your half sovereign at NVF.It also has an edge knock on the reverse.The book price for a Melbourne mint mark is around £90 to £110. (m)The book price for a Sydney mint mark is around £375 to £425 (s)You will see the mint mark on the reverse under the shield.If my grading is low....it could be worth a lot more but gold is often overgraded.EF samples are very rare.A dealer will usually pay 50 to 60% of book price.A nice find......I hope this helps....PS Gold is very popular on Ebay so the market value is rising.
