Answer 1

A British 1904 gold Sovereign (Edward VII)(minted in London - no mintmark), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £200 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, bullion value.

A British 1904 gold Sovereign (Edward VII)(minted in Melbourne - mintmark = M), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £185 GBP.

A British 1904 gold Sovereign (Edward VII)(minted in Perth - mintmark = P), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £200 GBP.

A British 1904 gold Sovereign (Edward VII)(minted in Sydney - mintmark = S), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £190 GBP.

Answer 4

That is a far too extensive a question to answer here, and also depends on what your definition of "value" is. The coins of greatest value are all locked up in museums and the collections of the very wealthy.

This is a great period for British Coins with many coins potentially of modest to high "value".

The gold coins are all 22 carat and the silver coins are all sterling silver.

Many coins from this period, such as the 1861 Penny, have up to 16 or more variations with very minor differences that are difficult to pick up on unless you know what to look for.

You will need to consult a coin catalogue and check your coins against the descriptions and conditions of the coins and look out for any rarities, errors or peculiarities. Proof and Mint Uncirculated coins will always have a relatively higher value.
