In general at present, the 1883 Sovereign has the higher value.
Values vary depending on demand for the coin, the price of gold and the prevailing economic climate.
In 1883 and 1884, the Sovereign was minted with both the Crowned Shield and St.George reverse and very few of them were minted at the Royal Mint in London, most being minted at either the Melbourne or Sydney Mints, so there is a great deal of potential for variation between any of the Sovereigns concerned.
no sovereign = £1 only (£1.00) guinea = £1 and 1 Shilling (£1.05)
10-100 USD or more depending on specifics and a DETAILED description.
I've seen them sell for anything in the $10-$30 range, depending on condition. If they can be verified as original (from 1883 as opposed to a modern gold plating), and have a reeded edge, they can be worth significantly more.
I bought one ten years ago for $30, figures to be worth more now.
1884, 1940, 1883, 1937, 1944, and 1918 ********* And without some informatiion on WHICH gun you are asking about, that is about as good an answer as we could give you. Could you be a bit more specific?

The Hawaiian dime was struck in 1883 only and values run from $50.00 to more than $3,000.00 depending on the grade.
The face value of a Sovereign is One Pound. Since they are made from 7.322381 grams of 22 carat gold, they are actually worth very substantially more than One Pound and at the very least, are worth whatever the current bullion value of gold might be at any given time.
From your description, you may have an G.S.A. cased 1883-CC coin. Current market value is $190.00-$255.00 for average (MS-60/MS-63) Mint State coins. The 1883-CC issue is one of the more common G.S.A. coins.
