Guest titwillow Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 Heads - Edward VII, tails Britannia. Just curious to know whether it's worth anything. I'm not a collector - it fell out of a box after I moved house recently. Thank you for any information.Anna Quote
mitch91 Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 What is the condition of the coin have you got a picture Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 If it's an average example with signs of average circulation it won't be worth much I'm afraid. To have a value if will need to be better than average, with good amounts of hair detail on the king and definition on the reverse too. A mint condition example will be a dark shiny black colour, as they were all chemically darken at that time to avoid be confused as Half Sovereigns. Quote
Guest titwillow_I'm_a_Guest Posted February 26, 2005 Posted February 26, 2005 No, haven't got a picture. The coin is a bit mucky, writing very clear on both sides, Edward's head clear but not much hair detail (I take it it's just the beard we're talking about - looks bald to me!), Britannia a bit worn, edges not worn. It had to be too good to be true, didn't it - finding a valuable coin in a box. Maybe we've got Italian lire knocking around in the attic, although I can't imagine a lira being worth anything! Thank you.Anna Quote
