FAQ
How much is a British Half Sovereign worth in Japan?
The pure-gold melt value today is about ¥85,095.09. Dealers typically sell above this with a 3–8% premium for bullion-grade coins, and substantially more for collector-grade examples.
Is this the buy or sell price?
Neither — it's the underlying metal value. Buy prices in Japan include a dealer premium; sell-back prices are often a few percent below melt.
Should I melt this coin?
Generally no. Many pre-1933 and pre-1965 coins carry numismatic value well above their gold content. Always check collector value before melting.
