Looks very useful. I would suggest that Kraus are none too happy!

Good to look one coin up. I just tried to look down through a series I know well, and gave up after a couple - didn't have the patience!

[seuk]

Guess it needs a few years work on prices & pictures

[RLC35]

One of the things I noticed was the lack of varieties. It also is a little difficult to use...but it's free! LOL

[azda]

To be honest, these sort of price guides are great if there are specialists of each country participating in the guides. I know f all about american coins, so would'nt tell an american that a specific coin is worth X. This is what annoys me about Krause and all the others that try and tell a price of a British coin, and lets not forget that they don't get into the varities either, so unfortunately, i'm not so keen, and the picture of the 1902 Low tide penny was of a VF or a tad better, and in A BLACK AND WHITE picture with a UNC guide of 250 dollars

Didn't even work for me, at least not on the iPhone. I scrolled down through hundreds of countries to United Kingdom, then selected all regions (the only option). The only denominations then offered are Euros and it won't let you submit without completing this box, so you are snookered!

We're under Great Britain! Apparently the UK is in the Eurozone, but GB isn't.

Azda, out of curiosity, what do you thing an average brown to red-brown but technically uncirculated (ie no wear other than perhaps some bag contact) 1902 LT coin should go for?

I daresay that price is near spot-on IMO...

[Peter]

As Bob says...its free.

I might use it ....but who looks at pricing books for more than a guide & the coins I want I already know how much I'm willing to pay (and most varieties don't appear in price books).

I think they will be as they are credited with providing, specification and price data.

I tried it through the iphone and it didn't work.

I don't have or if I'm honest, desire to have too many coins from outside the UK. The odd one does however come up from time to time but the cost of Krause is completely out of proportion to the use that I am likely to put it to. All in all therefore, this could be a handy website for me.

[RLC35]

Nice to get everyone's input. All of the comments have brought up some good points. Thanks!

Agreed. If anything it may even be a slight OVER-estimation. If your coin has no lustre VS, I would put it somewhere between £100 and £150 depending on crispness and eye appeal. The halfpenny is much scarcer of course.

[declanwmagee]

I'll use it. Buying a (second hand!) Krause was on my "one day" list, but it ain't now.

It's bookmarked.

[Hussulo]

I know the prices won't be spot on but as a guide I'll use it for some non UK coins.

Peck,

You are right about the 1/2d Low Tide. It is much harder to obtain than the 1d LT. I just sold a Rassmussen 1902 LT in Red BU for $299, to a client in Australia. That's about twice what a 1d low tide would bring.

Absolutely excellent with every type/variety listed. Mind, I had to take the little video course, as navigation wasn't obvious at first.

Also big difference between "United Kingdom" and "Great Britain".

[RLC35]

Isn't the only difference between Great Britain and the United Kingdom...the addition of Northern Ireland? The way I am told it works is:

Great Britain includes: 1) England, Wales, and Scotland

United Kingdom includes: 2) England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland.

I think there are also some small Islands included in the above.

There is a explanation of the differences somewhere on the internet (Video), and that is the way it is explained.

Then there is the Commonwealth of Nations....but we'll save that one for another day. LOL!

[RLC35]

Here is the Video about the United Kingdom.

[Pieces_of_History]

Very cool - I wonder if its good enough to replace the Krause Catalog? It seems pointless me having that on 5 CDs from 1600 to present if I can now just use an online facility!

It was the difference between the coin types displayed between the two options in your earlier link, that I was referring to.

Using "search by criteria" under "United Kingdom", the only denomination options displayed are euros. Conversely, using "Great Britain" gives you the expected options, including pre-decimal.

Yes, Great Britain is the island, as opposed to Less Britain, which is Brittany, contrary to popular opinion, NOT Ireland

I'm not trying to start an argument here and should perhaps decline to answer your question as others have done, as this is a bit of a touchy subject, but the above is not correct. The United Kingdom is the combination of the two kingdoms of England and Scotland and was created in c.1707. The English portion consisted of England and its two provinces of Wales and Ireland which had been acquired by England sometime after the Norman invasion but before 1707. Both are geographical areas and were never counties as they consisted of many independent tribes, much as England had been prior to the Norman conquest. Today neither have parliaments, rather regional assemblies.
