British Coins

About $9-10 or so. They aren't particularly rare, nor do they contain any precious metals.

Your description fits a number of 1887 British coins.Is it made from silver or gold, and what is the diameter?

The Two Pound coin you refer to is a 2005 coin commemorating the 400th Anniversary of the Gunpowder Plot by Mr Guy Fawkes and his friends. The edge of the coin has the inscription "REMEMBER THE FIFTH OF NOVEMBER".

What appears to be a backward "7", is actually a stylised "5" if you look very closely.

These 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 Two Pounds.

The date is on the coin's obverse side, but even without that fact, the wording NEW PENCE instead of just PENCE indicates it was minted some time between 1971 and 1981, following the transition to full decimal coinage.

Assuming the coin was found in change, it's a very common circulation piece so it has no added value above 2 pence.

If the two pence coin that says NEW PENCE, and it is from 1983, then it could be worth up to £600.

The last Bank of England One Pound notes issued, commenced with the serial number DY21.

The last note produced and issued had the serial number DY21 999997. The last two notes printed were spoiled in the printing process.

Since 1817, Sovereigns have been made from 22 carat gold.

I cannot imagine why anybody would silver plate a gold coin, so you may have a replica in silver. Value unknown.

Yes, but it was different Europe started printing the 100 pound note in 1727 but it has since changed. The most recent one that you see now was made in 1987

The Royal Mint produced no Farthing coins from 1776 to 1798 inclusive.

It is possible that a few 1798 "pattern" Farthings, possibly 5 or less were struck, if so, they will all be in museums and possibly classified as extremely rare.

Due to Britains ongoing expenses with various wars in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there were very few silver or copper coins minted, subsequently there were a great many privately minted tokens and counterfeit coins produced.

To get an estimate of value on a privately minted token, you need to provide the details of the inscription on the token.

Both processes are used on Proof coins to enhance the appearance.

"Frosting" is the slight sand blasting of (usually) the raised surfaces of the coin to give a slightly dulled appearance in contrast to the mirror like finish of the flat surfaces of the coin.

"Matt" or "Matte" was a similar process but more so on the flat surfaces of the coin.

"Frosting" is the favoured process on modern Proof coins.

It is worth about $1.20 in silver scrap if circulated and up to $5-10 if uncirculated. It isn't a rare date and is 50% silver.

These 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 25 Pence in Jersey.

The Bailiwick of Jersey currency (JEP) is pegged at par with the British Pound Sterling (GBP) and the Jersey decimal coinage is near identical in dimensions, composition and history to the equivalent British coins. Jersey currency is "legal tender" only in Jersey, but may be regarded as "acceptable tender" in Britain.

None, such crowns are all copper-nickel and run about $1 in uncirculated condition.

No country currently has a Sixpence coin, they all became redundant as each country converted to its own decimal currency.

Prior to decimalisation, Britain and all British Empire/Commonwealth countries would have had a Sixpence in their respective currencies at some point in time.

....You need to give us the denomination and the country of origin for the coin. All you told us is that a coin minted in 1965 with Elizabeth II's face on it (and all Dei Gratia Regina FD means is basically By the Grace of God Queen and Defender of the Faith).

Most, if not all British and British Empire coins issued during the reign of Queen Victoria will have the words (or variations of them) - "VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF IND IMP" on the obverse, meaning, "Victoria by the Grace of God, Queen of the British territories, Defender of the Faith, Empress of India". It is mostly abbreviated from Latin.

In 1887, Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee year, the inscription read "VICTORIA DEI GRA BRITT REGINA FID DEF", on the obverse. On the reverse, the inscription read, "HONI SOIT QUI MAL Y PENSE", meaning, "Evil to him who evil thinks".

This inscription seems to be almost exclusively used on the 1887-92 British Halfcrown, Shilling and a variant of the 1887 British Sixpence which was later withdrawn.

The Halfcrown is 32 mm in diameter.

The Shilling is 23.5 mm in diameter.

The Sixpence is 19 mm in diameter.
