In average circulated condition, it will be worth around £1. If you register, you can post a picture so we can assess the grade more accurately.

I sell average sets 1895-1901 for £3.00:

So £1 for a single is probably too much.

You can buy a sack of them on Ebay for about a £1 or so.

I just gave my youngest 50+ Vikkie pennies 1895-1901 to share at school (they're learning about Victorian times).

To really put a dampner on it....I paid £4 for an uncirculated one last year.

Sorry Chris I wasn't logged in.

I think we gave similar advice......

The amount of times non collecting colleagues and friends have produced "their old coins" and I've

had to disappoint them.

The last time was a scanned copy of a battered 1906 6d which was sized against a 20p.

(guess which was worth the most...albeit close)

It might be worth a few quid if it's the high-tide variety.
