What is the value of an 1837 British Groat?

A British 1837 sterling silver Groat (Fourpence)(William IV), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £125 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £10 to £70 GBP. A British 1837 sterling silver Groat (Fourpence)(William IV)(Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £800 GBP. NOTE - The reverse of these coins is upside down to the obverse. This is normal. The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
