Show me another »How do I get the best money for selling gold coins?
I have twelve gold sovereigns (old and new) that were given to me as a child on birthdays - my parent's thought gold was a good investment in the early 80's. I hear the cost of gold is high at the moment and would like to know how to capitalise on this.

Sell them one by one on eBay or to a good and trusted coin dealer.
First find the Red Book value of each coin.

- Determine the actual weight of the coins in troy ounces, then compare to the published gold rate, which is as of today around $620.00, but it was as high as $700 earlier in the year. That is the base value. Now contact at least two coin dealers for what they will pay you for the coins. That is the wholesale price, since they will make money on the coins. Now determine whether to accept highest offer or sell it higher on your own.0% 0 Votes
- The website: www.taxfreegold.co.uk has some good information. The gold price was at its highest at one point during the 1980's, then fell away, but is currently high again.0% 0 Votes
- The price of gold is high and probably will go higher still. The market makers for coin prices is Spinks and they produce books on coin values, maybe they have an email service too for enquiries. Your library will probably have their reference guides in stock which will tell you what they are worth as a maximum.
Ebay also has a special coins section and bidding is very active there.
Coins, especially gold coins, will hardly ever go down in price and are nice things to pass on to future generations.0% 0 Votes -
