Selling gold Coins

Famous gold coins

Gold coins fall into 2 categories, collectors coins and bullion coins. There are many famous types of bullion coin such as the British Sovereign, the South African Gold Krugerrand and the American Silver Eagle coins coins. The oldest of these coins is the British Sovereign which was first issued in 1489 under the direction of King Henry VIII and is still in use today. New sovereigns contain 22ct gold and weigh in at just under 8g, but interestingly the weight and size reduce over time as the coins are used and worn down. However, perhaps the most famous gold coins of all were not British but American and Canadian. The largest gold coin on record was struck by the Royal Canadian Mint weighing 100kg with a value of $1 million. Even more impressively, a 1933 American Double Eagle gold coin sold for over $7.5 million at Sotheby's in 2002 and is the most valuable coin ever sold.
