Hello I have a William and Kate engagement coin and can't find a value on it. I have searched all over the internet and only found descriptions of the coin, but I did find one one ebay for 3000 (which I found absurd). So I'm wondering if any of you kind people can help me out. Unfortunately I can't upload images due to internet connection but I will describe it. On the front is has William and Kate (colored photo), it sais HRH PRINCE WILLIAM OF WALES - CATHERINE ELIZABETH MIDDLETON around the front of the coin. On the back it has a picture of Queen Elizabeth II and sais 2010 ELIZABETH II - 1 DOLLAR - COOK ISLANDS. Sorry for the amount of writing but I need help so thank you in advance.

Hmmm....if it's just a base metal version then it's probably not worth more than a few dollars. Those kinds of coins are meant as keepsakes, not investments.

The fact that it's gold plated might add a little bit to its value. Some people like plated coins. The problem is the royal wedding was over 2 years ago, and the engagement was back in 2010! Anyone who wanted a coin to commemorate the event probably has one by now.

I stand by what I said at the start. Probably no more than a few dollars/pounds at auction.

Nice looking, but still just a novelty coin with little intrinsic value. Most gold plating only adds less than a dollars worth of gold to the coin. Really valuable only to die hard royal watchers.

Maybe if you put it together with Elizabeth and Philip; Charles and Diana; Anne and Mark ; Andrew and Sarah wedding coins, the set might be worth more than the individual coins.
