What is the value of a British penny from the late 19th Century?

Answer 1

A British 1900 bronze Penny (QV), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £50 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £3 to £12 GBP.

A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation.

This is a common coin that will only sell in the finest condition. A GEF specimen was recently sold on eBay for £14 but it is highly unlikely that the prices above that have been quoted from Spink would ever be realised.

Answer 2

There are two variants of this coin with minor differences.

A British 1889 bronze Penny (Victoria)(14 leaves in Victoria's laurel and narrow date), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £200 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £2 to £50 GBP.

A British 1889 bronze Penny (Victoria)(15 leaves in Victoria's laurel and wider date), uncirculated and in absolute mint condition could fetch up to £375 GBP. If it has been circulated but still in good condition, it might fetch anything from £4 to £75 GBP.

The values quoted are the best possible for the best specimens in their grades, but may be significantly lower due to varying demand for the coin and the prevailing economic climate. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.
