Best place to start, Dave, might be to check completed listings on eBay - maybe even the specific eBay site that covers the country your coin comes from. Make sure you only take account of actual sales (in GREEN), rather than just finished listings (in RED).

And condition, condition, condition! Coins increase in value exponentially with condition so carefully compare the photos that you find with the coin that you have.

Hi Diggerdave

If the diameter is 19mm it is a 1/4 Ackey, Can you post a picture of the Reverse please?

Two different spellings PARLIMENT or PARLIAMENT, the latter was minted in 1801 but dated 1796.

They are scarce with reported mintages of 2,800 and 3,200 respectively - both struck by Boulton & Watt in Birmingham.

This is the page from Remmick (1971) Prices in $US - I can't find any recent prices - Anyone got a current 18thC Krause?

i think the one with the writing on is a 1/2 takeo, where as the 1/4 takeo has no writing, im trying to sell this coin so any help, offers , advice would be great.

would you say mine is in VF?

The shield side is Fair / crown side Fine

Maybe a tad better than that?

so guys if this was your coin what price would you be happy with?

Hi DD, I know nothing about this issue, but in all likelihood the reverse (the shield side), being well worn and less than Fine condition, would attract a price of less than a quarter of it's catalogue vale in Fine.

Unless this coin is significantly rare, my guess would be somewhere between £25-£50

only 5000 minted, im guessing it would be hard to find?? thanks for all your help guys

DD make sure you get a full good description start it at 99p with a £50 reserve.

How many Gibralter collectors do you know?
