Sell Gold Sovereign Coins with Confidence

The value of a gold sovereign depends on several factors. At minimum, a sovereign is worth its gold content (7.98g of 22ct gold), which fluctuates with the gold market price. Currently, we're paying around £550 for a standard gold sovereign. However, certain sovereigns can be worth significantly more due to:

• Rarity: Some years and mint marks are much rarer than others
• Condition: Well-preserved coins in mint or near-mint condition command higher prices
• Historical significance: Sovereigns from certain reigns or with special designs may have premium value
• Collector demand: Some sovereigns are highly sought after by collectors

For an accurate valuation of your specific sovereign coins, we recommend requesting our free valuation service.

While all sovereign coins contain the same amount of gold, certain years can be significantly more valuable to collectors. Some of the most valuable sovereign years include:

• 1817: The first modern sovereign, extremely rare and valuable
• 1819: Very low mintage year, highly sought after
• 1838: Rare Victorian sovereign with limited mintage
• 1879 Sydney Mint: Particularly rare Australian sovereign
• 1917 London Mint: Low mintage year during WWI
• 1932: The last year of regular sovereign production until 1957

Many other years have special value depending on mint marks, condition, and specific varieties. Our experts can identify any rare or valuable sovereigns in your collection during the valuation process.

Yes, we buy sovereign coins in any condition, including those that are damaged, worn, or have been mounted in jewelry. While coins in perfect condition may command a premium, even heavily worn sovereigns contain valuable gold content. We assess each coin individually and offer fair prices based on:

• Gold content and current market value
• Remaining detail and overall condition
• Any remaining numismatic or collector value

Don't assume your worn sovereigns are only worth their gold value – some rare dates can still command a premium even in poor condition. Our expert team will ensure you receive the best possible price.

Gold sovereigns are among the most counterfeited coins in the world due to their value and popularity. Our experts use several methods to authenticate sovereign coins:

• Weight: A genuine full sovereign weighs exactly 7.98g
• Dimensions: Sovereigns measure 22.05mm in diameter and 1.52mm thick
• Gold content: Genuine sovereigns are 22ct gold (91.67% pure)
• Detail examination: We check for correct design details, edge milling, and other features
• Advanced testing: For suspicious coins, we can perform non-destructive tests

If you're unsure about the authenticity of your sovereign coins, our expert team can verify them as part of our free valuation service.

When you sell sovereign coins to Mozeris Fine Antiques rather than a typical high street gold buyer, you benefit in several important ways:

• Numismatic expertise: We recognize and pay for the collector value of rare sovereigns, not just the gold content
• Higher prices: Our specialist knowledge allows us to offer better prices than general gold buyers
• Transparent process: We explain exactly how we value your coins and what factors affect the price
• No high street overheads: Our business model allows us to pay more for your coins
• Free, insured shipping: No need to travel to a shop with valuable coins

Many high street buyers only pay for the gold content of sovereign coins, potentially missing significant collector value. Our expert team ensures you receive the full value for your sovereign coins.
