About the half sovereign
The half sovereign is a 22KT gold coin first struck in its modern form in 1817. It was everyday money until the First World War, which is why so many families still have one.
Collector or bullion
Most half sovereigns are bought as gold coins. A scarce date, a branch mint or a coin in exceptional condition is valued as a collector's coin, and we check every one.

What our sellers say
“Excellent service. Contacted Mozeris and corresponded with Faustas. Responded immediately to my email to sell a 20g gold bar and a half sovereign coin. Received an offer and after a few further email exchanges to finalise, I posted with special delivery and was paid out shortly after they received the items.”
“I was apprehensive about selling my mother's omega watch but the whole process was straightforward and reassuring. Faustas was extremely helpful and understanding and the communication was very quick. The money agreed was in my account within hours of accepting an offer.”
“Fantastic guys, pay on spot and very very professional.”
Questions about selling half sovereigns
Should I clean a half sovereign before selling?
No. Cleaning removes the original surface and lowers the value of a collectable coin.
Do you buy half sovereigns set in rings?
Yes. Send a photograph of the ring and the visible side of the coin.
How do I send it to you?
Book a free insured FedEx collection from your door, or post it by Royal Mail Special Delivery and we refund the postage. Both are tracked and insured to £10,000. You can also see us by appointment in Mayfair or Braintree.
When am I paid?
By bank transfer the same day we inspect your items and you accept our offer. If you decide not to sell, everything comes back insured, at our cost.
