The four crowns are all very common. the farthing isn't rare either unfortunately but still very cool to imagine its 277 years of life. The 1911 piece looks like something from an item of jewellery. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Philheybrookbay1 247 Posted Monday at 14:45 As football secretary of Saltash United I was sent this 3 years ago- a £2 coin in a presentation case with a certificate. Not that I'll sell it, but is it worth more than the face value? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
