NumisMattic2200 Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 It's not new, it's 2010 now. A bird? That's regional, probably Guernsey or isle of Man (Eileann Manin?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YeOldeCollector Posted January 30, 2010 Report Share Posted January 30, 2010 It's a penny of Guernsey. Assuming it reads New 1 Penny with a gannet below and then 1971 at the very base. On the other side it should read S.BALLIVIE INSVLE DEGERNEREVE with three passant lions in a shield. Like this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

newbie Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 I've run across one of these coins, same year and everything. Any idea what it's worth?? It's okay, I've got one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ætheling Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 The value of these (if pulled from circulation) is more than likely face value i.e. 1p. If it was as new, no wear, full lustre (like a new 2010 penny), then maybe about 50p? Decimal coins just don't really have much of a following, even more the case I should think with Channel Islands coinages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
