Depending on the year of the coin, the denomination, the metal they are made from, the condition, the mintmark and whether of not they are Proof or general circulation coins, old British pre-decimal coins could be worth anything from a few pence to Tens of Thousands of Pounds.
British coins do not have the country name on them, but you need to specify the year and the denomination of the coin and any distinguishing features of the coin. Other than one or two notable exceptions, all British coins will have a date on them somewhere. The date may be in Roman numerals on some older coins and it may very occasionally be on the edge.
Check both sides of the coin and the edge carefully for the necessary information, a typo can make a lot of difference to the answer.
If you cannot determine the denomination, specify what the coin is made from or what colour it appears to be, the design on the reverse and the diameter of the coin.
Please avoid the use of abbreviations unless that is how it is inscribed on the coin.
The inscription DEI GRATIA FID DEF and variations of it (DEI GRA FID DEF - D G F D, etc.) do not identify the coin, they are part of the impressive title of the British Monarch, whoever he or she might be at the time.
Many coins with similar inscriptions were issued by many of the 50 plus British Empire/Commonwealth countries as well, but they should have the country name on them.
Please submit a new question with the necessary information.
Current British coins have no scrap value as such. The Royal Mint ensures that their coins cannot be profited on.
Older British coins with a silver or gold content do have a scrap value based on the current value of silver and gold, but in most cases, especially if the coins are in a reasonable condition, they would have a higher collector value.
Yes. Depending on the year, the denomination, the condition and in many cases the variant of the coin, they can be worth quite a lot.
