Hi, I had a rummage through the site to find info on a gold Sovereign I own, but this is a much bigger place than I expected :rolling: & Google searches haven't clarified matters for me any either. :computer: I have a 2002 Jubilee commemorative Sovereign marked as bullion, embedded in a card inside a sealed plastic sleeve with the word 'MINT' on one end (see uploaded scans here): http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc232/beth150167/sovereign1.jpg http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc232/beth150167/sovereign2.jpg I paid a Salisbury jeweller £125 for it in July this year & was told it was probably worth more. However, the list price here: http://www.goldsovereigns.co.uk/2002sovereigns.html is a bit confusing.... am I correct in assuming that it originally retailed from the Royal Mint in 2002 at £110, but may now be worth £195?? It's all too confusing to this non-numismatist (did I spell that correctly? he he) Any information that the learned peeps of this board can provide would be very gratefully received. TIA Smiffy
I can't help you on the original mint price, or the current numismatic value, but I can tell you that it contains a hair under 1/4-ounce of pure gold, making it worth $191 (~£90) at yesterday's market close.
LOL hontonai o....kay. Decisions decisions... do I laugh or do I cry? Was I robbed? Surely as a sealed, commemorative coin, it has a higher value than 7.98g of 22k gold? I WAS robbed wasn't I? :eating: It was a 40th birthday prezzie to myself too. Anybody like to grab a handful of salt & start rubbing? Regards Smiffy.
Welcome to the forum and knock of the sniffys Smiffy. Look at it this way. Did you get robbed? Maybe but a coin dealer has to eat too - although maybe that one is gorging right now. Do you like the coin? If you do then you have that going for you.
I dont think you got robbed LOL Chard one of the big dealers here in the UK are selling it for £110 + P&P (Shipping) so if anything it has cost you around £5 over the odds but it will go up in price so hang on to it :thumb: Oh and of course welcome to the Forums
