Full & half sovereign prices

[MANJSK]

Hi all

Just after some advice from the experts on this forum please.

I am being offered the following sovs;

Half sovs.. 1901, 1915, 1982 @£125 each

Full sovs...1871, 1880, 1887, 1889, 1899, 1911, 1912, 1879 @£250 each

They are all in bullion condition.

My question is..do you think these are good prices for these years ?

Thanks in advance for any advice.

Quick answer, without seeing them, yes. Seems reasonable to me. Caveat emptor, I’m no ‘expert’, I would go for the Victorian YH and JH first if it was me.

the prices sound about right, but if you are not bothered by the mint year and just want to buy cheap sovereigns, harryngtonandbryne  are selling 2019 full sovereigns for £229 delivered.

I agree with @Nick1368 as I have just ordered 3 x 2019 full sovereigns at this price, free delivery and payment made with a credit card without additional cost.
Cannot believe the price as spot right now is £31.999 per gram.

A sovereign contains 7.32 grams of fine gold so is worth £234.23 as scrap metal today so H&B are selling BELOW spot right now.

Hey guys, thanks for your replies so far, really appreciated. 

I already have 6 of the H&B 2019 coins and thought of getting some older dates this time round. I also thought YH and JH was the ones to buy.

👍👍👍

If you ever want to check if prices are good look for the cheapest sovereigns and half sovereigns on Atkinsons and also HGM.
That gives you a benchmark.
If you can buy Victorian sovs at around these prices you are good to go.
If however you are seeking a specific year and wondering if the price is too high it is always worth checking the sold auctions on eBay to see if there have been any recent sales.

Cheers @Pete for the advice 👍

@MANJSK good luck!

My 2019 UNC sovereigns arrived today from Harrington & Byrne and I was pleasantly surprised to find each coin encapsulated with a certificate and inside a wallet.
Considering I paid less than spot, free delivery, paid using a credit card with no surcharge - this has definitely been a bargain.
