Best Answer

A circulated coin will be exactly that, something you got in your change with little nicks and scratches all over it.

The VIP Satin-finish coin is one that is struck using specially prepared dies giving the coin a slightly dulled, but high quality finish and, will be in some form of a presentation package or case.

What is the value of a 1965 British 24kt gold Churchill Crown?

The coin you refer to does not exist in gold, it is made of cupro-nickel. A British 1965 Crown (Five Shillings)(Churchill Commemorative), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £2 GBP. If it has been circulated, not much. A British 1965 Crown (Five Shillings)(Churchill Commemorative - Satin finish "VIP" Specimen), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £850 GBP. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

What is the difference between circulated uncirculated and proof?

Circulated means the coin has been handled and used. Uncirculated is a coin that hasn't been spent, and is often fresh from a bank roll. Proof is a special strike technique resulting in an extra clean and shiny finish to the coin, and is made specifically for collectors.


How would you know if a Churchill Crown coin is satin coated?

Assuming that you refer to the 1965 British Crown (Five Shilling) coin, they all look the same, it is only the finish that differs. The "satin finish" coin has a slightly dulled surface unlike the shiny mirrored surface of other coins. The satin finish coin was only minted in small quantities and would have been sold in a protective packaging to protect the finish of the coin.


How much is a british 5 shilling dated 1953 worth?

A 1953 British 5 Shilling (1 Crown) that retails for $7.50US if lightly circulated and $15US or more if like new. There is a proof version (mirror finish) that retails for $45US. The coin in the link below would probably be worth about $8US without the dark splotch on it. I hope that helps.
