jonny Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Can anyone point me in the right direction please? I have just inherited a lot of proof silver coins from the 1970s on from my father. They are nicely presented in plastic cases....but...I suspect that they are not worth more than the melt-down value? is that true? for instance, he had a lot of world wildlife conservation coins from the mid 70s. He also has a few gold sovereigns, including one George v or vi.... I assume these may be worth a bit more? I am not necessarily looking to sell - I'd just like a realistic valuation for the PITA forms. thank you I appreciate that most of the conversations appear to be about older, used coins, and I have some of those to start looking at too :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jokerman Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Hello and welcome, I am afraid you are right about the proof silver coins. A coin dealer will probably pay a little less than the melt-down value. If you like them keep them. Gold sovereigns is a totally different matter. You can look at sale prices here: http://www.goldsovereigns.co.uk A coin dealer will of course pay less, and much depends on the conservation grade.

jonny Posted June 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 thank you. edit: I have called goldsovereigns.co.uk, and they were immensely helpful - they have given me a good idea of buy-prices that I shall use. I don't think I'll sell, however... I like the coins more than they are worth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
