Sorry, no US $20 gold coin is dated 1833
Very good coin ! There are 2 different coins : 1833 A : 221.449 coins struck, value : about 150 dollars, 1833 B : 1.392 coins struck (very rare), value : about 1000 dollars !!! You can find the letters "A" and "B" on the coin (on the right of the "40"-side).
There was no Millennium in 1904 and there were no British Fifty gold coins in 1904.
No, a British 'sovereign' coin does not always mean it is made of gold. Traditionally, the sovereign coin is a gold coin that was first minted in 1489, weighing approximately 7.98 grams of pure gold. However, there are modern versions of sovereigns that may be produced in other metals for collectors, but the classic sovereign is specifically a gold coin.
The Halfcrown is a silver coin. If you have a gold coin it is because somebody plated it. Modified coins have no collector value.
The British general circulation One Pound coin is made from a nickel and brass alloy. It is the brass that gives the coin the pale gold appearance. There are no precious metals in any general circulation British coins.
If the coin is made from gold, it will say so on the packaging it was sold in.

No. The British gold Guinea coin was a coin with a value of 21 Shillings and was 24mm in diameter. The Guinea was last issued in 1813 and was effectively replaced by the Sovereign. The British 22 carat gold Sovereign coin is a coin with a face value of One Pound (or 20 Shillings) and is 22.05mm in diameter. The modern Sovereign was first issued in 1817.
The first gold Fifty Pound coin issued by the Royal Mint was in 1987.
You fail to specify what type of coin you refer to. The only gold British coin minted in 1958 was the Sovereign.
