Hey there I mostly collect Canadian coins and at an auction recently I picked up a one Penny Coin 1912 H.  It is is amazing shape no wear lots of original ouster, sadly has a finger print on it.  What is the Value, I can't find any decent website to tell me what it might be worth.

It's slightly difficult one. There are three complicating factors:

1. It's not a rare coin (16m were minted).

2. A group of Unc examples was found (?in the 1990s) and have appeared on the market ever since.

3. Their value is nevertheless enhanced by their popularity among collectors for whom a high grade H penny would be out of reach

I would say for insurance purposes, a valuation of £150 - £190 wouldn't be unreasonable, allowing for the fingerprint.

so on the open market??  120?

Probably a bit more than that - maybe £150, with a bit of luck. It's a nice coin.
