Gold Sovereign

I have two gold sovereigns. 1825 George IV Gold Sovereign - Laureate 
Head (XF45) another is a 1841 Gold Sovereign Victoria Young Head Shield 
(XF45).

Is it better to auction them or sell them to a dealer??

If auctioned, Ebay or a Coin site...if dealer, who?  I'm located in 
mid-eastern US.

Re: Gold Sovereign

As they are both scarce dates, especially the 1841, auction may be the way 
to go but bear in mind that a USA XF45 may be a good fine in the UK so do 
not base your expectations on a UK catalogue value as you may be 
disappointed.

Gold UK coins usually do well on ebay but is more of gamble than a live 
auction..  Billy
