Rare British milled coins for sale

When people think about which types of rare coins might be the most widely sought by coin collectors, they normally think of hammered coins. However, milled coins (where the coin was mechanically struck and the edge marked with some form of edging or design in order to prevent ‘clipping’ where people clipped off part of the precious metal whilst retaining the spending power of the coin) are also widely collected. The most interesting eras of milled coinage are the early period from around 1662 to 1816, and from 1816 – 1837. Milled coins did not completely replace hammered coins until 1662 but you do find milled coins dating from up to circa 100 years before this. The process of marking the edges was called graining and is still in use today (not that the modern base metals from which coins are struck are worth anything as scrap!)

Crowns for sale for coin collectors

Crown coins for sale

Crowns have always had an exciting aura about them, perhaps because they were one of the higher denomination coins in general circulation for a long time and more people would be likely to encounter a crown (if they were lucky) than perhaps a sovereign. Also, commemorative crowns have been struck in many varieties and these have become fairly collectable though they are not normally of any great value unless you have a rare proof or FDC example. Crowns were worth 25p in decimal currency. Crowns were minted to celebrate the life of Winston Churchill and various Royal Weddings. However, the older solid silver crowns tend to be the most sought after because they are big, heavy and imposing coins and you can almost feel the purchasing power that they once commanded back in time.

What is a farthing

A farthing (derived from the Anglo-Saxon feorthing, a fourthling or fourth part) was an English coin worth one quarter of a penny, or 1/960 of a pound sterling. They were first minted in England in the 13th century, and continued to be used until 31 December 1960, when they ceased to be legal tender.

Early examples were silver, but surviving examples are rare because they were infrequently stored. The first copper farthings were issued during the reign of King James I, who gave a licence for minting to John Harington, 1st Baron Harington of Exton. Licences were subsequently given out until after the Commonwealth, when the Royal Mint resumed production in 1672. Many modern farthings are fairly common and easy to find. They have always been an attractive coin and modern farthings featured an imprint of the bird with which they share their name.

There is something quintissentially British about the farthing, it is one of those coins that is always popular with coin collectors from overseas as well that British coin collectors. Farthings also often pop up in antique fairs and junk shops and along with common worn pennies and ha’pennies, are not generally expensive to collect. Needless to say, fine old and medieval examples obviously are very valuable and can see for a lot of money as you will see below no doubt.

Besides rarity, the coin’s condition is essential. Uncirculated coins, for example, fetch higher prices. Meanwhile, circulated coins show signs of wear, which affects their value. Thus, preserving your gold sovereigns in mint condition is key.

When examining gold sovereign values, it’s crucial to consider the year of issue. Some years, such as 1937, are highly sought after. On the other hand, other years are less desirable. Hence, researching historical mintages can be beneficial.

Some designs are worth more than others

Now, where can you buy and sell gold sovereigns? Reputable dealers and online platforms are excellent options. But remember to compare prices and read reviews to find the best deal.

Additionally, be cautious of counterfeit coins. Authentic gold sovereigns have specific weight, dimensions, and design characteristics. Therefore, it’s vital to verify your coins before purchasing.

In conclusion, understanding gold sovereign values is essential for collectors and investors alike. By considering factors like weight, rarity, condition, and design, you can make educated decisions.
