A dealer will give you about £220 each. Put them in auction, they are probably worth more in scrap.

If you don't need the money you may as well save them as they are likely to increase in value better than any investment you can get at the moment.

I'd personally keep them if they were my nana's.

I must disagree quizard - there are plenty of better investments out there that will give you a better ROI than gold. Just do your homework. There is more investments in life than ISAS and stocks.

spot price has gone up 10% in the last 30 days, i'd hold on to them.

in hindsight ppi was a bloody good investment.
....when you consider that the cheating bastard banks have to pay it all back plus the same interest as they charged on the loans and 8% statutory interest on top.

My nan left an 1892 soveriegn amongst other stuff. I got it put into a ring and kept it.
I bought loads of gold jewellery when I was young. About the only thing I still have left to show from my first couple years on fruits. It has tripled in value my collection and is worth a few grand now.
