British Coins

White Ten pound notes were issued by the Bank Of England from 1929 - 1934 (signed by B. G. Catterns) and 1934 - 1944 (signed by K.O. Peppiatt). Both series were issued from London.

A genuine £10 note dated 1937 and signed by the Chief Cashier K. O. Peppiatt could be worth anywhere from £100 - £500 (mint uncreased condition) in today's market.

Be careful as there are deceptive German World War II forgeries of the white £10 note , almost all of these being forgeries of prefix numbers BE151 and BE152. We hope this answers your question.

All British decimal Two Pound coins are still legal tender. They are worth Two Pounds.

If you have a mint uncirculated or Proof coin still in its packaging, you could sell it on eBay or take it to a reputable coin dealer.

A British 1850 Halfcrown, uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £1,100 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch up to £40 to £550 GBP. A British 1850 Halfcrown (Proof FDC) is considered extremely rare. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

A British 1901 bronze Farthing (Victoria), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £18 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch up to £3 GBP.

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.

Face value only. At the end of January 2018, one Cayman Island dollar converts to $1.20 in US dollars, or 96 euro cents.

British Halfpennies have been minted since about 1200 AD, so to keep it manageable, we will stick with Halfpennies you are more likely to see, from about 1800 onwards and not including Proof coins.

There are no rare or valuable British decimal Halfpennies.

The rarest and most valuable Halfpennies had only a few coins minted for that year and are mostly in museums or the collections of very wealthy collectors and are prohibitively expensive for the average person.

These include the -

1937 Edward VIII - bronze - not released to circulation

1924 George V - bronze - specimen finish - extremely rare - packaged

1883 Victoria - bronze - rose for brooch - extremely rare

1860 Victoria - copper - TB/BB mule - extremely rare

Many coins have more than one variant due to the fact that they were minted at different mints on slightly different dies. It is these, frequently minute variations that make the coin rare or valuable.

The following are Halfpennies that might fetch over £500 GBP if they are in mint uncirculated condition.

1878 Victoria - bronze - with wide date

1874 Victoria - bronze - with narrow date

1871 Victoria - bronze

1869 Victoria - bronze

1865/3 Victoria - bronze

1862 Victoria - bronze - die letter to the left of the lighthouse

1860 Victoria - copper - beaded borders

This list is not exhaustive and is only an indication of the most obvious higher value halfpennies.

If in doubt, a reputable coin dealer will be able to assist with identification give a valuation.

With modern minting methods, the possibility of a coin with the same image on both sides should be just about nonexistent and, should never make it into circulation in the unlikely event that one is struck.

Any coin with a "genuine" minting flaw would have some value, above the usual, as a collectible coin.

Genuinely flawed coins are not necessarily known about or documented until somebody turns up with one, since they are an "accident" of the minting process, and have escaped detection during quality control at the mint therefore, a valuation cannot be anticipated.

A reputable coin dealer should be able to identify and confirm the coin as genuine and make a valuation.

Also, many coins are commercially produced for magic or trick purposes and these include "double headers/tails" and "impossible" coins like a US silver Dollar on one side and a British copper Penny on the other.

Close inspection of the coin may reveal that the inscription is not quite right, that King George has Mickey Mouse ears or that Britannia is wearing football boots or some other alteration to avoid charges of counterfeiting.

A real $20 bill will feature a portrait watermark. You can see it by holding the note to the light to see a faint image of Andrew Jackson in the blank space to the right of the center portrait. The watermark should be visible on both sides of the bill. ☜(ﾟヮﾟ☜)

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 2 Pence.

A British 1992 bronze 2 Pence coin (QE II)(Proof FDC), could fetch up to £1 GBP.

A 1960 British Sixpence looks the same as all British Sixpences issued from 1953 to 1967.

It is a cupro-nickel coin, 19.5 mm in diameter, weighs 2.83 grams and is of silver appearance with a young, right facing Queen Elizabeth II on the obverse. The latin inscription "ELIZABETH II DEI GRATIA BRITT:OMN:REGINA" around the circumference.

The reverse depicts interlaced rose, thistle, shamrock and leek, with the Latin words "FID DEF" around the circumference at the top, and "SIXPENCE.1960" at the bottom.

The link below shows an almost identical 1958 Sixpence.

You do not specify which country or which coin.

The British One Pound coin is made from a nickel-brass alloy, giving them a gold coloured appearance.

Australian and New Zealand One Dollar coins are made from a copper, aluminum and nickel alloy, giving them a gold coloured appearance.

There is no precious metals in any Australian, British or New Zealand circulating coins.

The British Sovereign and Half-Sovereign coins are made from 91.67% gold, but these are not circulating coins.

older pennies contain more copper, a valuable metal. Newer pennies still contain metals worth more than 1 cent but not as much as older pennies. Wheat pennies are an example. They were minted from 1909-1958 and are made of 95% copper. One exception is the steel penny, minted in 1943 to reserve copper for ammo in World War 2.

If one side is completely blank, you may have a genuine minting error coin.

Not gold, brass.

It's an ordinary circulation coin in the Presidential dollars series. It's worth exactly $1. Brass, not gold.

It's part of the Presidential dollars series and is worth exactly $1. Go ahead and spend it.

The standard British decimal bimetal Two Pound general circulation coin issued from 1997 onwards, have a nickel-brass outer ring and cupro-nickel inner.

If you have a decimal Proof gold or silver coin, there will be a reference to the gold or silver content on the box it came in when you bought it, and a certificate of authenticity.

From 1982 to 2008, the date on the British 20 Pence coin was on the reverse.

From 2008, on the new design coin, the date is on the obverse.

There is only supposed to be one date.

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 Twenty Pence.

Due to a mishap with the dies, there were some 2008 20 Pence coins minted with no date at all. These "mules" are potentially worth a lot of money depending on who you choose to beleive.

Between 2 cents and $6, depending on condition. Next time, if you include more information (the coin's approximate condition, if it is circulated or not, etc.) I can give you a more precise value.

In the old currency, there were 12 Pence in a Shilling and 20 Shillings in a Pound.

At Britains conversion to decimal, One Pound changed from One Pound of 240 (old) Pence, to One Pound of 100 (new) Pence.

Ten Shillings became 50 New Pence

Two Shillings became 10 New Pence

One Shilling became 5 New Pence

Later on, two further coins were introduced -

25 (New) Pence was the equivalent of the old Crown (Five Shillings)

20 (New) Pence was equivalent to 4 Shillings.

There was no new decimal coin for the other old denominations.

A Halfcrown converted to 12.5 New Pence

Sixpence converted to 2.5 New Pence

Threepence converted to 1.25 New Pence

One old Penny converted to 0.416 New Pence

One old Halfpenny converted to 0.208 New Pence

Any collector value would depend on the serial numbers, and your definition of "really good condition".

Assuming "really good condition" (circulated) and not knowing what the serial numbers are, each note might get anything from £6 to £10 GBP. A set of five consecutively numbered notes would almost certainly realise more.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the banknotes.

The British Sixpence is 19 mm in diameter.
