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?

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.

A good place to start is your public library. Ask them to loan you the books on world coins. Condition of the coins will determine the retail price, the better they are the more they're worth.

It is worth about 10% more than the gold content, which is about .12 troy ounces. That makes it about 0 - 0.

Answer by denissnowy
Gold coins have a bullion value based on weight and a collectors value. If you sell to a collector you get more but the value is dependent on condition - is it like new or warn flat as a blank. The gold value is now high by the way. Try searching on ebay - you might find quite a few there, but for a real valuation go to a coin shop.

Answer by mikelyt78
probably half bucket filled with 1 gold piece. That's assuming there's no empty air pockets. think of it as filling a jar with marbles (you'll get air pockets). Or filling it with water ( no air pockets, therefore more volume!)

Answer by Rick K
I think the bucket full of half sovereigns would weigh more, and therefore be worth more, because a full bucket would weigh more than half a bucket, if filled with the same metal.
