jlueke Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 My son Alex has gotten interested in the Britannia figure on British pennies. What would be a reasonable proce for a gF/aVF 1797 penny with honest wear but no major problems? utside of ebay are there good sources for less expensive British coins? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 IMO there usually isn't much of a premium for clean cartwheel 1d and 2d, though finding nice clean ones presents a nice challenge in itself Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 A good aVF one is about £30 - £40 in my opinion.Your best source for these is eBay but, if you're not keen, then maybe try vcoins or independent dealers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottishmoney Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 An awful lot of these coins circulated a long time, they were high in the percentages in a survey done in York in 1841. As a result they are worn down, or look like they were used as grape shot during the Napoleonic wars. Thankfully though some collectors did set some aside though - which makes for the most affordable "huge" British coin. I have high grade circulated examples, and they price out like YoC pointed out for the penny an' more for the tuppence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
