Chris Perkins Posted January 14, 2005 Posted January 14, 2005 I think I basically understood what you were writing, despite the fact that it was composed liek a text message!It's a Diamond Jubilee medal, not really a coin. It shows the Queen as she was when she became Queen, and the Queen as she looked in 1897. If it's pretty average it'll just be worth a pounf or two.I think we've talked about these before in the forum, as they are a popular query. Quote
christoph Posted February 11, 2005 Posted February 11, 2005 If it's the really big one (larger than a crown) it's worth about £85 in top grade. The small one (bit larger than an old florin) is worth about £30. Someone just asked me about these, so I had to look them up. I got the big one at an auction last year. It's a handsome coin, and the toning (acquired? contemporary? anyone know?) is superb. Quote
