Title: Scarce dates for British coins
Post by: BC Numismatics on September 27, 2009, 02:43:21 AM
Bill,
  How much is the British 1952 6d. going for these days over there in England? I found that coin extremely elusive until one came my way early last year.

I still have my British 1827,1950,1951,& 1970 1d. coins that I picked up over the past 5 years.

Aidan.

Despite the prices, an Uncirculated 1950 penny is harder to find than a 1951 one!

By the way, current UK coin prices are given on my website at http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/values/index.html

Apologies to those who dislike references to external sites :)

I refer to your site several times each week and find it very useful and well laid out.   The occasional reference to it in these pages is always worthwhile and I consider it as an adjunct to this forum for UK matters.   The two work well together.

I think that what many here (certainly myself) are against is the advertising of other groups.   Yours is a very informative site run by 'one of our members' and therefore I consider reference to it to be legitimate, as I do the Royal Mint (http://www.royalmint.com/) site.
