I built MyCoinage because I wanted a price tracker that actually showed what coins sell for, not what hopeful sellers are asking. I write or review every guide on the site and look after the data behind the prices.
Numismatic background
I started collecting properly in my teens, working through a tin of mixed British coppers an uncle handed down. Pre-decimal pennies turned into a quiet obsession with UK milled silver – shillings, florins and crowns – and from there into gold sovereigns, where condition and date matter so much that even a single grade step can double the price.
On the modern side, I follow the Charles III circulation roll-out closely and keep a running eye on the 50p commemorative market, which is where most newer collectors first turn up. The areas I write about most:
- UK milled silver from the Victorian era through Elizabeth II
- Gold sovereigns and half-sovereigns – year, mint mark, grade
- Modern commemoratives, especially circulation 50p and £2 series
- Grading on the Sheldon scale and what each step is actually worth
Editorial standards
MyCoinage publishes coin valuations, buying and selling guides, and series checklists for British and American coinage. Every guide is written or reviewed by me before it goes live, and revisited whenever the underlying data shifts.
Our headline figures come from realised auction sales only – the hammer prices that buyers actually paid at Spink, Baldwin’s, Noonans, PCGS and verified eBay UK sold listings. Asking prices, dealer catalogues and active listings are never used. Outliers are automatically flagged and reviewed before they reach the public aggregate.
Each guide carries a “Last updated” date. We refresh the price tables whenever a guide is over three months old, and earlier if a notable sale lands in the database. Corrections are welcome – if you spot a price or fact that looks wrong, drop me a line and I’ll look into it.
