i have 1 complete set of 1957 edition of britannica junior encyclopaedia's. What is the value.
Charles Van Doren
Nothing at all
1957 is an extremely common series, currently worth about $2.
In average condition either coin is worth face value only. If it's an uncirculated or a proof coin in its original packaging, it might be worth 50 cents or so.
Hard to say. Ordinarily, an old set of encyclopedias...unless it's REALLY old...is not especially valuable.The 1959 Encyclopedia Britannica has one special thing going for it that other old encyclopedias don't. As soon as the Russians sent Sputnik into orbit in 1957, both the U.S. and England started expanding their science and math programs...and the Encyclopedia Brittanica also decided to expand its coverage of math and science (and space exploration), while condensing sections for other topics...including the liberal arts and literature. Because changes take approximately a year and a half to complete, the 1959 edition of the Encyclopedia Brittanica was the last version before the science/math revision. (For example...the section on "Shakespeare" in the 1960 Encylopedia Brittanica was only about a third as large.) So for many English professors, the 1959 Encyclopedia Brittanica is a treasured resource...and some will pay a premium for a nice set in good condition. Contact your closest university's English department and see if they'll let you post an ad on their bulletin board.Good luck!
