wd1040 Pillar of the Community United States 3098 Posts	Posted 07/19/2009 1:51 pm I'll bump this too, and add that the old shilling/5 new pence was the same size as the 1 Deutsche Mark, which was worth... 10x more? ... I think.... so many people defrauded vending machines by using the 5p instead of the mark. Report this Post to the Staff
kena Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 1685 Posts	Posted 07/19/2009 2:23 pm http://www.tclayton.demon.co.uk/coins.html is the place that I normally look at for an idea of what UK coins are worth. I only been in the UK since 1998 so, I don't know alot about the predecimal coins. I believe that your pre-1968 coins do have silver in them. The first 5 pence and 10 pence coins were issued in 1968 as far as I know. 5 pence switched to a smaller design in 1990 and in 1992 for the 10 pence. Hopefully others can be more helpful.

Britain stopped putting silver in their coins in 1947; none of these dates have silver. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff
augsburger Pillar of the Community Germany 1064 Posts	Posted 07/20/2009 09:47 am The florins are worth slightly more: 1954 and 1957 seem to be the key dates, £40 in UNC and £5 in EF. 1958 and 1959 are also worth a bit, similar but not so much as the other two. The rest are 1955-56 £6 for UNC, 1960-61 £5 UNC, 1962-65 £4 UNC and 1966-67 £2 UNC The most expensive 10p is 1980-81 which is 75p UNC For your shillings, 1956 is £10 UNC, and 1957 £4 UNC and 1955 £5 UNC, the rest are worth no more than 20p in UNC.
