Geraint Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I read the following guide to the value of a one penny 1981 Coin... I've attached pictures of my coin. if any1 can help. "A British 1881 bronze Penny (Victoria)(Victoria with hooked nose, wreath with 17 leaves - larger Britannia, sea does not meet linear edge), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £525 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £4 to £85 GBP.A British 1881 bronze Penny (Victoria)(wreath with 15 leaves - larger Britannia, sea does not meet linear edge), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £750 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £30 to £300 GBP.A British 1881 bronze Penny (Victoria)(Victoria with more hooked nose, wreath with 15 leaves - larger Britannia, sea does not meet linear edge), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £975 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £60 to £450 GBP.A British 1881 bronze Penny (Victoria)(Victoria with more hooked nose, wreath with 15 leaves - larger Britannia, sea does not meet linear edge, masonry visible on lighthouse)(minted at Heaton - H), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £325 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £3 to £65 GBP.A British 1881 bronze Penny (Victoria)(wreath with 17 leaves - larger Britannia, sea does not meet linear edge, masonry visible on lighthouse) (minted at Heaton), circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch up to £400 to £2,000 GBP.There are a great many fine points of distinction between the variants of the 1881 Penny.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."
