In 1843 what was the value of one shilling?

Answer 1

One Shilling GBP in 1830 had the purchasing power of about £3.40 GBP today.

NOTE - This conversion is the result of many calculations for which I cannot take credit. The resulting answer takes into account many variables and should only be regarded as an approximation.

Answer 2

A British 1834 sterling silver Shilling (William IV or GULIELMUS IIII), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £400 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £15 to £175 GBP.

A British 1834 sterling silver Shilling (William IV or GULIELMUS IIII))(Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £1,500 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.

Answer 3

In 1830 the shilling (incidentally none was struck in 1830) would have had the buying power of probably around £2.50 today (2010). That's approximately 50 times then what 5p or 1/- is worth today. This is an approximation.

Answer 4

A British 1838 sterling silver Shilling (Victoria), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £380 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £15 to £180 GBP.

A British 1838 sterling silver Shilling (Victoria)(Proof FDC), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £2,000 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.
