Hi, I'm new on the board. I was wondering if this is a legit coin? I know a coin like this consist of fifty percent silver and fifty percent copper-nickel.

This coin is indeed 50% silver. Your coin is not worth a great deal though.

Spink lists it in F condition as £5, the coin yearbook as £4. This is only a rough guide to what you would expect to pay a dealer to buy this coin. Selling this to a dealer would get a lot less. Who knows what ebay would do?

Regardless of price, I love coins like this for their historical value.

Welcome to the forum.

I'm not looking to sell the coin for a profit, I collect coins like you for it's historical value and not it's monetary value. This coin was given to me by an older gentleman, a classmate at the college I attend. I have no intention to sell it, but to keep it as reminder that there are still kind and generous people in the world.
