Hello to all here. I have a few gold sovereigns and half sovereigns that have been handed down from my Grandmother in Pakistan. I was wondering if any of them are quite rare, I believe it depends on the year and the mint in question. These are the coins I have: Sovereigns: Year Quantity Mint 1911 3 London 1911 1 Perth 1912 1 London 1912 1 Sydney 1913 2 London 1915 4 London 1917 1 Perth 1918 4 London 1918 1 Bombay 1919 2 London 1919 1 Perth 1921 1 Perth 1925 1 South Africa 1927 1 South Africa 1928 1 South Africa 1930 2 South Africa 1958 1 London Half Sovereigns: Year Quantity Mint 1911 2 London 1912 2 London I am in London, UK and I can take them along somewhere for a valuation. Here is one of the coins.
To be completely honest I'm having some issues with the coin you posted. It looks like it might be a counterfiet.... not the end of the world because they still made these out of gold... but It doesn't look genuine to me at least. It could also be the pictures, but the fields sure look grainy to me. Lets let some others who know more then I do about them chime in.
I'm inclined to agree with LostDutchman. And johnl - next time you upload pics to the forum, forget about the url link you used on these pics. Next time, the entire post will be deleted instead of just being edited.
1917 Perth is a scarcity, so that should be worth slightly more. However, 1918 and 1919 London mint sovs are non-existant, so you've either made a mistake or you have a few fakes on your hands. I won't comment about the one in the photos because its difficult to tell conclusively from a photo unless it is a screamingly obvious fake...
