    Hi all
    Have 2 Sovereigns that I inherited a a fair while ago. At the time I took them to a jeweller while getting the other things I received valued where he confirmed there authenticity and slabbed them in a plastic rectangle you would see from a grading company.
    My question is i now want to try and sell them now and am wondering would i fetch more if i sent them away for actual grading ($16 per coin) with some other coins i am already sending away in the coming weeks or should i just sell them as is?
    Would i be best to sell on here or could i attract a higher price on Ebay taking into account the fees i would be charged? Im not expecting much for them other than gold content but obviously would like as much as i can aswell. Not being a coin expert in the slightest they look to be in awesome condition with no marks or damage. They are a 1904 and a 1914 coin.
    Any info would be fantastic, hope you all have a great weekend.
    I could also take some photos if it would help
    Mat

    Post a decent pic and I am sure there are no shortage of experts here who can grade it here for you gratis. :)

    They are all as bright and shiney looking as the 4th pic and the cases have some marks on them making it hard to take photos, If its worth getting a proper photo let me know and ill take them out of the case might give a better idea of what they really look like. If i send them for grading im sure its no benefit sending them in the cases or selling them on here.

    Anyone? Worth sending them to be graded with the other coins or will bring no more money for my trouble? Sell them in the cases or take them out for better photos? List them on here? Would also consider a trade if anyone is interested.
    Any help would be appreciated

    I wouldn't bother Mat
    Flip them on this forum for $400 - $410 and you should get a quick sale.
