Bullion value or collector value?
Most modern gold coins, like sovereigns and Britannias, are bought and sold for their gold. That's what the prices above are based on.
Some coins are worth more to collectors. That can include rare dates, coins with a scarce mint mark, proof coins in their original boxes, and very old coins. We check every coin before we price it.
If a coin is worth more than its gold, we'll tell you. Our sister company, RWB Auctions, can sell it to collectors instead.
Before you sell a coin
- Don't clean it. Cleaning can scratch a coin and lower its value to collectors.
- Keep it in its capsule or box if it has one.
- Bring any certificates that came with it.
Old silver coins are worth selling too
UK silver coins dated before 1920 are 92.5% silver. Coins dated from 1920 to 1946 are 50% silver. From 1947, UK coins contain no silver at all.
We buy pre-1947 silver coins by weight. See today's rates on our pre-1947 silver coins page.
Marlborough's own mint
Marlborough has made coins before. After the Norman Conquest, the town had a mint that struck silver pennies for William the Conqueror. The British Museum holds pennies made there.
King John granted Marlborough a market charter in 1204, and the wide High Street is still home to its markets. Just east of the town, at Mildenhall, one of Britain's largest hoards of Roman coins was found, with tens of thousands of coins.
