How the sovereign price is determined
- 1
Spot gold price
The basis of every calculation: the international gold price at the moment of the transaction, in euros per gram.
- 2
Authenticity
We check weight, dimensions and minting characteristics — always in front of you, without any damage to the coin.
- 3
Condition
Sovereigns in excellent or uncirculated (BU) condition can command a higher price.
- 4
Year & rarity
Certain dates and mints carry collectible value beyond the metal content.
Every sovereign is weighed and checked in your presence. We explain exactly how our offer is built — 916.6‰ fineness, a weight of 7.99 grams (7.32 g of fine gold), the current spot price — so you can compare it with any other offer.
We buy sovereigns of every year and mint: George, Elizabeth, Victoria, half sovereigns and multiples. The condition and rarity of certain years can add value beyond the gold content itself.
What we buy
- Full British gold sovereigns
- Half sovereigns
- Multiples (£2, £5)
- Sovereigns of every reign and mint
A police ID card or passport is required by law for every transaction.
