Question by faloula: how much is my gold sovereign ring worth?
i apologise in advance if this sounds daft! I have a gold sovereign ring measuring 20mm in diameter. it has an image of st. george on horseback slaying a dragon, under the image it just says 'st.george medal' with no date. there is no image on the reverse of the coin, its just a reversed image of whats on top (been pressed)
i also have no idea what carrat gold it is. i can make out G&TJ ? then 3blobs! given it a clean and looked under a magnifying glass but cant make it out! If i were to sell on ebay for example without having to go to a jewellers first to get it tested, what should i sell for?

Probably not worth getting tested. The ring has no value. There is little or no gold in it.

If you are already positive that it is made of gold, try to get for it.
