Margaret Thatcher gold sovereigns

[Guest Gary Groom]

Hi guys looking for some help. A friend of mine was doing a house clearence and has stumbled across 2 coins 1 being a half sovereign, the other a full. These are a comerative medal struck in 9c gold in honour of the election of Britains first lady prime minister.1979. First of all how rare are these also a rough value in todays market. Many Thanks

I shouldn't think there would be a huge collector following, so they are most likely to be worth the gold value. Or perhaps a bit more to a Tory Thatcher fan!

Here is a link to Chard's website, where, although they do not state a selling price, enforce Chris' comments about bullion price + a small percentage.

Rather a poor representation of 'Una and the Lion'
