https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nk...e=1&_fosrp=1It looks a nice grade lightly circulated coin is worth 5 to 10 pounds. In mint state considerably more. Yours looks pretty nice, but not MS, so maybe the upper end of that range? Just don't ask a junk shop to sell it for you. Apparently they sell nice coins for next to nothing! (Nice finds again!)

What's the retail on those three commemoratives? I thought they were mostly circulating issues?

I was working away from home on Friday and found a local market, there was stall with a bag of coins for £3.50. I got 1924 nickel, 1917 nickle, 1890 worn nickle, 1912 nickle, a worn 1922 sixpence and the best of all 1918 dime in I think very good condition. It's been ages since I've had a deal like this. Edit- I posted this in the classic US coins by mistake as well yesterday.  However yesterday I want to see a relative in a nearby town, they were holding a monthly market. I found stall which was selling a big bag of coins and foreign bank notes for £35. I couldn't resist taking a gamble and brought it, there is about £60 worth of convertible currency, I've sorted it in to separate bags. There are 73 bank notes.   I also found 10 silver coins including a 1994 100 franc coin. Best of all was 1907 us Indian Head cent to add to my collection of old US coins. I don't think I'll get lucky like this for a long time.  Edited by mrv
