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. Despite lower quotes in these
dated lists the bullion value of a modern five pound gold coin is about £830 ($1325). Recent
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.

The following list applies to the standard St.George reverse Five Pound coins (with the exception of the special 1989 Sovereign commemorative).
Uncirculated coins can be distinguished from proofs by the presence of a U in a circle, usually to the left of the date. However, regular issue coins without the U were issued in 2000 (and possibly 2001)

The lack of a value for a grade means that the coin is rarely found in that grade.
Despite lower quotes in these dated lists the bullion value of a modern five pound gold coin was about £830 ($1325) in January 2010. Recent 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 but please do not send me unsolicited scans or other binary files.
