If the coins are UNC (pictures would be good when you're able!) then the 1939 would be worth around £6 - £8 (it contains real silver) and the 1963 no more than a pound or two.There are two different reverses of each - "English" and "Scottish" (worth the same each, for those two dates) : on the 1939, the English lion is standing on the crown, the Scottish lion is squatting on it like it's having a sh*t. On the 1963, there are three leopards, and on the Scottish, one lion upright. Quote
Hello17 Posted August 11, 2010 Author Posted August 11, 2010 the 1961 is unc and the 1939 i dont know but defenietly from f-ef(i would say gVF) Quote
Peckris Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 the 1961 is unc and the 1939 i dont know but defenietly from f-ef(i would say gVF)You said 1963 before, not 1961. The 1961 Scottish is worth more as it's scarcer. Up to £5 for a truly Unc example. 1939 in GVF, perhaps £2 - £3 max. Quote
