It's a common date, though, and with gold at its current price, you'll have a hard time getting more than melt for it. £1300 ($1665?) sounds like a reasonable retail sale price. The dealer of course would pay less, but on a mostly-gold-value coin like this, he should be willing to accept a rather narrow margin.
