dvw1974 Valued Member United Kingdom 74 Posts	Posted 09/06/2015 2:39 pm I purchased a lot of Scottish coins recently and have never come across them before. I am posting a pic of one. Would be grateful if someone could give me some more info and if these coins hold any value. Weight: 8.1g Diameter: 26mm Report this Post to the Staff

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2134 Posts	Posted 09/06/2015 5:44 pm You lucky beggar ! I rarely see Scottish coins for sale and I live in Scotland. Bawbee - retail value about £75. Report this Post to the Staff
sel_69l Bedrock of the Community Australia 21788 Posts	Posted 09/06/2015 6:59 pm I agree with Pertinax; I have two bawbees, but in nowhere as good a condition as this one. Mine are obviously identifiable, but that is about as far as they go. I have yet to sight an example in VF or better. Report this Post to the Staff
Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2134 Posts	Posted 09/06/2015 7:03 pm I saw one in BU condition about 30 years ago at £120, which I thought was extortionate; now I think it was very cheap ! Report this Post to the Staff
