I have mostly stacked U.S. constitutional silver, and government bullion coins. However, I am inexperienced to older, British coins. I think they are very beautiful. I am being offered one of these Fourpence coins, each for $150.000 Colombian Pesos ($37 USD/ £27 GPB/ €32 EUR). One is from 1702, and the other from 1834. Between these two, which one would you chose? Would this be a good price considering the condition? Thanks in advance. Edited by guatape 01/02/2022 1:21 pm Report this Post to the Staff

PaddyB Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 945 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 3:52 pm Interesting choice. The 1834 is straight Maundy coinage, never intended for general circulation. (The circulation fourpence from that era would have Britannia on the reverse.) They are a niche collectable that I do not follow and are usually sought in sets of four (one pence to fourpence). A susch and with the marks I would say the price is a little high. The 1702 is much more to my taste. This would have been a circulation coin at the time, as well as being used in the Maundy ceremony. Although the condition is less good, I would still be more inclined to this one than the 1834.

Princetane Pillar of the Community 4628 Posts	Posted 01/02/2022 9:59 pm I like both, but would go with 1834 as it is a Maundy piece and has a bit more prestige in my opinion, also just 2 years before the Fourpence came out again as a normal circulation piece. This coin had Britannia on it. Report this Post to the Staff
