What's it worth?

Hello all.

Just have a question here. I have a gold british half sovereign dated 1918.
It has King George IV on the obverse. For mint marks, the only thing I have found is what seems to be a small "O" on the ground under the horse on which St. George is seated on the reverse.

I was wondering if this would have any extra, numismatic value over spot.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Never heard of an O mark. C means Ottawa (Canada). They are nice coins, but not much numismatic interest except for a few rare years (1916C seems to me). I would hang on to it, just for coolness factor. as good as any other gold coin.

There is no O mint mark, there is a C as stated. If it's a C it's Reasonably rare they only
minted those for 10 years I think around 100,000 minted that year so will be worth more than scrap value, they were minted to coin the gold from the Yukon gold rush.

Oh yes sorry.
It was in fact a C mintmark.
