What is the value of an 1823 British George IV gold coin?

Answer 1

Your coin is either Shilling or a Sixpence. They are almost identical, the Shilling being larger at 23.5 than the Sixpence at 19.5 mm. A British 1829 Sixpence, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £325 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £10 to £95 GBP. A British 1829 Shilling, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £550 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £30 to £225 GBP. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

Answer 2

An 1823 George IV 22 carat gold coin is either a Two Pound (Double Sovereign), Sovereign or a Half-Sovereign coin. They are all virtually identical other than for the diameter.

The Half-Sovereign is 19.3mm in diameter.

The Sovereign is 22.05mm in diameter.

The Two Pound (Double Sovereign) coin is 28mm in diameter.

A British 1823 Half-Sovereign, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £750 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £85 to £450 GBP.

A British 1823 Sovereign, circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £500 to £4,000 GBP.

A British 1823 Double-Sovereign (Two Pound), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £2,250 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £700 to £1,350 GBP.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

NOTE - The reverse of these coins is upside down to the obverse. This is normal.

Answer 3

Halfcrowns minted in 1828 during the reign of George IV are extremely rare. Just 49,890 were struck...easily the lowest mintage for the George IV series. In mint state they can sell for £1,500+. In normal 'circulated' condition they can make £50 - £100....in the higher grades up to £600-£700. 1828 is a highly sought after date. Spink's new 2012 Coins of England suggests £875 in EF condition and £2,000 in mint state.
