Half Penny Jon Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 It will be worth about £6-£8 in it's origional box if it is the common variety (it probably is the common variety) Could you post a picture so that we can tell you if it is a rarer variety? Quote
Guest JJ Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 oh an forgot yes its in original box with the little bit of paper describing itbox is a bit worn tho and its sort of a dark green colour Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 Sounds like the common 1951 Crown in it's origional box. It will be worth around £6-£8. Quote
Guest JJ Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 cool thanks for yer help not intending to sell it tho damn shame its not worth more mebe havta wait another 53 yrs Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted June 19, 2004 Posted June 19, 2004 The reason that it is not worth more is that there were literally millions made. Thanks for your question JJ! Quote
Guest JJ Posted June 20, 2004 Posted June 20, 2004 yes master it has an edge inscription says civum industria floret civitas MCMLI * MDCCCLI Quote
Geoff T Posted June 21, 2004 Posted June 21, 2004 yes master it has an edge inscription says civum industria floret civitas MCMLI * MDCCCLI ..which means "By the industry of the city the state flourishes" 1551-1951. The 1551 refers to it's commemorating, not just the Festival of Britain in 1951 but the 400th anniversary of the first silver crown of Edward VI.Technically you can still spend it at a face value of 25p, but I suspect you don't intend to Quote
