1971 New Penny - Guernsey

[Guest Ryno88]

Hi I've just recently stumbled on a 'New 1 Penny' coin with a gannet on the front and 3 lions in a crest on the reverse. Through searching the internet I've found out that this is from Guernsey but haven't been able to find out anything involving its worth. Is there anyone on here who could shed some light on the value of this coin?

Hello and welcome to the forum.

I've found one for sale for 80p, which probably means you might get 30p for it if you're lucky?

Hello and thanks for the welcome and quick reply.

That's slightly disappointing, just randomly found it in my pocket and thought I've never seen one of them before! Thought it might have been rare and valuable
