It is stressed that the following prices are a guide only, and in
UK pounds. They represent what you might have to pay a dealer,
rather than what you might be able to sell them for.
I can take no personal responsibility for their accuracy, although every effort
has been made to ensure that they have been copied correctly. In addition it
should be noted that the price of gold coins is very dependent on the bullion
value of gold.
Live bullion values may be available on my Bullion Value page.
The information has generally been taken from the UK monthly magazine
Coin News,
and is reproduced by the kind permission of
Token Publishing Ltd, PO Box 14, Honiton, Devon EX14 9YP, UK
The headings F, VF, EF and Unc refer to the condition grades of the coins. A guide to
evaluating grades is found on my UK Coin Values Index page.
Proof coins relatively often found are listed, but the absence of a mention does not mean that
a proof of that year does not exist.

Values of Two Pound coins extracted from Coin News August 2010
Missing dates from 1994 on were issued in gold versions of the decimal commemorative two pound coins.
See links below for decimal two pound coins, and their gold versions:
Values: Post 1971 Coins - Values of Decimal Two Pound coins
Values: Post 1971 Coins - Values of Post 1971 Gold coins
The lack of a value for a grade means that the coin is rarely found in that grade. The bullion value of double sovereigns on 24th January 2009 was about £300 (415 US$). Current bullion values may be available on my Bullion Value page.

I would be grateful if you could search the site carefully before mailing me - the answers to the great majority of the questions that I am asked can be found on this site, and I am unlikely to reply quickly to such questions. In particular, I do NOT provide a valuation service.
If you have done this and still wish to ask for advice, feel free to mail me via my Advice page.
