Question by Daniel: I have a half sovereign coin and the shield is the wrong way round to the head.Does this mean its worth more?
I have a half sovereign coin and the shield is the wrong way round to the head.Does this mean its worth more? I was told something about medal and coin alignments?

Best answer:

Answer by liberty911
Just so you know British coins and US coins are aligned differently. All circulating British (and Canadian, for that matter) coins are aligned so you can hold a coin by the top and bottom, turn it around and the other side is the correct way up. All circulating US coins are aligned so you can hold a coin by the top and bottom, turn it around and the other side is upside down. During ancient times coins often had random die rotation depending on how the dies were placed before striking. I can find very little information on British error coin values, so I would recommend you take it to a local coin expert for an evaluation. I hope that helps.

Question by Slate: Are mexican 2 pesos gold coin a decent investment value?
I've never bought gold or silver before and I'm thinking starting to buy a few coins here and there to start a very small reserve. The cheapest common gold coins I've found online are Mexican 2 pesos for about per coin with shipping. I've read that foreign currency coins such as British Sovereigns, French 20 Francs, South African Krugerrands, Austrian 100 Coronas, Mexican 50 Pesos are good values because they cost less per ounce then traditional American Ealges, so you get more gold for your money.

Does the same principle apply for Mexican 2 pesos? Any of the others I mentioned cost 0 or more per coin, and while I may eventually start buying that much, for now all I'm really looking to do is spend an occasional -0, and gather a few coins over time.

I've got some other ideas for silver, but as far as gold goes would Mexican 2 pesos be a good way to go?

Best answer:

Answer by MrSilverAG
Seems fine to me, it's good to buy in regular increments so you are automatically dollar-cost averaging your way into the market, which lowers your risk of trying to time the market for a large purchase.

Mexican 2 pesos gold coins are 90% gold, AGW .0482 oz and don't carry a stiff premium so I say go for it.

Question by hariharan_hn: Gold coin of 1912 issued by British rulers. whats its value today?
I have a gold coin weighing 8gm issued in those days as pay to indians during the british rule . (given to my grand father) . The coin has the empress head on one side with the year printed therein.

Best answer:

Answer by TJ
The coin you are describing sounds - by size and weight - to be what was called a sovereign.

http://www.thegoldcoinstore.com/WorldGold/British_Gold_Sovereign_Canada_Mint.php

These were minted throughout the old Empire.

But 1912 sovereigns had the bust of George V, and not an "empress" (presumably Victoria?)

If it is a sovereign, it's current retail value would be approximately 90-100 British pounds, depending on condition:

If it is something else, it might have more value as a collector's item.

Question by Maggie Lam: Does anybody know the value of the 1913 Georgivs V.D.G Britt Full Sovereign Gold Coin?
According to my dad, it's 24k gold. I've been trying to look all over the net for the value of it and I came across various websites and many different prices. Some say it's in the hundreds and some say it's in the thousands. Please help!

Best answer:

Answer by Neville
I don't know what you could actually sell it for, but current buying prices are between £200 - £300 depending on condition. Check out Ebay and the websites of London coin dealers. The value tends to vary according to the current value of gold - which is quite high at the moment.
