1853 British Half sovereign

What's the diameter of this coin? and does a high circ grade coin have any numismatic value or is it only gold value? TIA.

19.3 mm. Probably a hard sell at less than EF; at that level maybe 350 USD. What is "TIA", other than transient ischemic attack?

coffeyce

bluesheet has it at 3.99g and 19 mm for all versions.

Exbrit

Also depends on the year - mint. 7jaguars answer is spot on.

TIA = thanks in advance

Oh, that's a lot more benign...I have a "pet" collection of young head half sovs - nicer bits are hard to come by. There is an 1862 coming up in the NYINC Heritage sale at about 15k+ - well, there's always a stopper.

Apologies in Advance.

You know, I bought a $4 caliper the other day on Ebay. With some ancients, people do not give measurements if they are not a full time dealer. What an easy cheap solution to a long frustrating blank spot on my 2x2s. Cheap plastic but works great.



These are really attractive coins and at some point when I can afford gold, they would be nice to collect. That and 5 ruble coins from like Nicholas II. Stuff that mostly gets bullion value unless it is really gem.

Exactly why I started them even though I have primarily silver and copper. Try finding some of the tougher ones in nicer preservation besides the 1862: 1845, 1850, 1879.....
