trout1105 Pillar of the Community Australia 7096 Posts	Posted 09/02/2012 03:05 am First of all to the forum. Larger pic's are needed but from what I can see this looks VF at least. Some people swear by "Verdicare" , I have no idea how it works as I am reluctant to use anything to clean coins. The values for these are 1875H F 35 VF 110 EF 800 UNC 2500 This is pounds stirling. This is my source for this, it may come in usefull if you have other UK coins http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/va...x.html#index Report this Post to the Staff
