Are there any valuable British One Pound coins?

Answer 1

No. There is no general circulation British Two Pound coin that could be considered to be rare.

Commemorative decimal unimetal Two Pound coins have been minted from 1986 to 1996. The Two Pound coin of which the least number were minted was the 1994 "Tercentenary of the Bank of England" commemorative. There were 1,443,116 minted.

General circulation Commemorative decimal bimetal Two Pound coins have been minted from 1999 to present and have been minted in quantities greater than 13 million.

Answer 2

Far too broad a question to answer here. British Coins have been issued for about a millennium and there are large books devoted to the subject of their values.

Answer 3

There are no rare British One Pound coins. Every year that they have been minted, they have been minted in large quantities.

The British One Pound coin was first issued for general circulation in 1983. The closest to a rare coin is the 2008 Pound of which there were almost 4 million minted. General circulation One Pound coins could not be considered to be valuable, even if they are in mint condition.

"Proof in silver FDC" One Pound coins have some value attached to them, but then they were relatively expensive to buy when they were issued.

Answer 4

All years of issue of the British decimal Two Pound coin, including the unimetallic coins, are legal tender and still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth 2 Pounds.

Answer 5

No. For every year they have been minted, they have been minted in huge quantities, so they are neither rare nor valuable.

The best you might get for an uncirculated Proof FDC coin might be £2 GBP.

Answer 6

There are no decimal British Two Pound general circulation coins that could be considered to be either rare or valuable.

Proof FDC coins minted from gold or silver would have some value to them, but they were expensive to buy in the first place.

Answer 7

Yes. The pure copper rarities are:

1827 pennies (nearly all were shipped to Australia)

1843 pennies

1849 pennies

1856 pennies (with either a PLAIN or ORNAMENTAL trident)

1860 (with the 60 struck over a 59) pennies

1797 pennies and twopences were struck by Matthew Boulton at his Soho Mint in Birmingham. Unless in top grade, they have little value.

Answer 8

The smaller post-1996 50 Pence coins are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth 50 Pence.

The larger pre-1998 50 Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1998. So, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they have little or no value.

Other than the odd "error" coin that might turn up from time to time, there are no rare general circulation British 50 Pence coins.

In the years they were minted, British 50 Pence coins are usually minted in the millions or tens of millions. The closest to a rare 50 Pence coin would be the 1992 1993 Single Market coin, there were a mere 109,000 minted.
