what is an 1896 crown worth?

[Guest 2coin a phrase]

On the edge of the coin i can make out LX, but there's a space before it that looks worn and would fit another charachter. Just before that space there's something that looks like a 1 or an I. What is this worth? My father has a great many old coins, he has two more of these that are worn more and another that is a commemorative coin dated 1901, and many old victorian pennies. He is 72 and stuck in his ways, hence my enquiries also on his behalf and we would greatly appreciate help in the valuation of the coins described and a rough valuation of post victorian pennies and other post victorian coins. Many Thanks.

Bronze pennies are usually still worth pennies, unless they are better than average. Older ones (1860s to 1880s approx) can be worth up to 50p each if they are all readable.

An 1896 Crown in the condition you describe would be worth about £5.00.

If you could scan or photo the coins and upload them (not the worn old pennies) we could advise you more surely.
