1663 Charles II shilling Spink auction win! Can't wait to see it in hand. Shout out to my bro [ClyO] for the super assist!0 Comments 0 Shares 168 Views - Eventually I'd like to have the full Edward VII 1902-1910 florin run, including the 1902 matte proof. So far my pocket has afforded me two AU examples. One of my favorite coin designs, alongside the British Trade Dollar, both the work of engraver George William de Saulles. That 1905 is a bit of a key, though most are a bit tough, frankly, especially in upper conditions.Eventually I'd like to have the full Edward VII 1902-1910 florin run, including the 1902 matte proof.

- BRITISH COIN KEY DATES
This page contains a list of all the non gold slightly scarcer British predecimal coin 'Key Dates' since 1821, for all denominations.
Please be aware that condition is always by far the most important thing where coin collectors are concerned. Even if you do have a coin from a date listed on this page it doesn't mean it's highly sought after or that rare, just that it's usually a little harder to find than its 'dated neighbours'. Often key date coins if Fine grade or below are worth little more, or sometimes about the same as the commoner dates.
The list was compiled including all the usual scarcer date British coins (some of them legendary!) with additions of other coins made according to current catalogue values. I have not included mint errors (e.g letters/numbers struck on top of other characters), proofs, gold coins or colonial issued coins.
Most of the coins on this page are worth between £1 and £10 with the excessively rare coins (marked with a ' * ') being worth a small fortune. All silver coins issued before 1920 are sterling (.925) Silver, and all coins issued between 1920 and 1946 contain 50% silver (.500) so because of the bullion content these coins are usually worth a little more than the post 1947 'Silver' coins.
By denomination, Lowest first:
FARTHING
1842. 1844. 1849. 1859. 1860 (Larger copper type with date under the Queen). 1863. 1895 (Bun head Victoria). 1937* Edward VIII.
HALF PENNY
1825. 1843. 1845. 1860* (Larger copper type with date under the Queen). 1871. 1902 (Lower tide on reverse). 1904 slightly scarcer than normal. 1957 with a calm sea is scarcer.
PENNY
1837. 1843. 1849. 1860 bronze bun type is scarcer in certain varieties, the most commonly found is very common. 1861 as 1860. 1869. 1871. 1875H ('H' below date). 1895 with no sea. 1902 with low tide. 1912H ('H' Next to date). 1918H ('H' Next to date). 1918KN ('KN' Next to date). 1919H ('H' Next to date). 1919KN ('KN' Next to date). 1926 with newer head type. 1933* Pattern only. 1937* Edward VIII. 1950. 1951. 1954*.
THREEPENCE (SILVER SMALL TYPE)
1852. 1853. 1893 With Jubilee head. 1937* Edward VIII. 1945* (Must be silver) strictly a colonial coin, but worth putting in for it's £4,000 value! 1953 (Must be the silver maundy type).
THREEPENCE (BRASS 12 SIDED TYPE)
1937* Edward VIII. 1946. 1949.
FOURPENCE OR GROAT
1851. 1852. 1853. 1888 with Jubilee head.
SIXPENCE
1824. 1825. 1826. 1827. 1828. 1836. 1837. 1848. 1854. 1862. 1863. 1882. 1893 Not to be confused with maundy common issue. 1937* Edward VIII. 1952. 1954 Just slightly scarcer.
SHILLING
1848. 1850. 1851. 1879. 1882. 1889 with smaller head. 1905. 1957 Scotish type. 1958 English type. 1959 Scotish type.
FLORIN
1849. 1854 (MDCCCLIV). 1891. 1892. 1905 (In fact, any Edward VII with a readable date are getting harder to find). 1925. 1932. 1937* Edward VIII. 1954 and 1959 in high grade only.
HALF CROWN
1823 Without shield in garter. 1824 Bare head type. 1839. 1841. 1887 young head (Not priced high now, but low mintage, so an educated prediction). Generally all Edward VII are scarce but especially 1905 and 1903. 1925. 1930. 1937* Edward VIII. 1954 and 1959 only in high grades.
DOUBLE FLORIN
All pretty common with the exception of the George V and VI pattern issues.
CROWN
Generally all Victorian Young head and Gothic head Crowns are scarce (1837-1853. 1893 with LVII on edge. 1898 with LXI on edge. 1900. 1902 is scarce, especially in high grades. 1927 (proof only). 1928. 1929. 1930. 1931. 1932. 1933. 1934*. 1936. 1937* Edward VIII.
Please note that some coins in high grades are worth considerable sums even if they are not on this list! This list reflects (as accurately as possible) coin mintage numbers and demand, and when a demand drops coin prices go down. Although this is rare, it is not impossible.

- Another from my collection. I was always a US type collector, but this past year I've really fallen in love with old British coinage. My aim at this point is one coin from each monarch going as far back as I can. Maybe add in some cool varieties like the VIGO and LIMA coins eventually.Another from my collection.

- I also have collected British coins by king or queen. I recently completed a run that goes back to Alfred the Great. I really prefer gold when I can afford it, but the British gold coins only got started with Edward III who ruled from 1327 to 1377. Here is my Alfred the Great coin. It's been clipped, but it is presentable.I also have collected British coins by king or queen. I recently completed a run that goes back to Alfred the Great.

- I fell hard for Conder tokens back when I was a Heritage cataloger and we started doing the Tokens and Medals sales there for a few years. I had to rapidly learn a lot about Civil War Merchant and Patriotic tokens, Hard Times tokens, Washingtoniana, all the other token categories. I shared an office with EAC-early copper expert Mark Borckardt on those trips to Dallas (the old Heritage headquarters just off Oak Lawn), and learned much about large cents from him. The British Conder tokens seemed a lot like early large cents/half cents given their size and immense historicity, yet were available for fractions of what the U.S. coppers were selling for. I still feel that is true. Kind regards, GeorgeI fell hard for Conder tokens back when I was a Heritage cataloger and we started doing the Tokens and Medals sales there for a few years.

Davidson's silver Proof 1/2 Penny Token 1795 AU Details NGC, D&H-294c. Plain edge.
Perhaps a bit off-topic, as this is a proof struck in silver, not necessarily one used in commerce, but i'm hoping you'll enjoy.
The obverse sadly is damaged, but i was still thrilled to win this.

- Alabamacoins I wonder if you or your group members have thought about inclusion/exclusion of British Empire silver, or do you mean British as in Great Britain only? I have traded in a lot of Canadian silver over the years, for example. Is that in or out? Kind regards, George

Kind regards, George2 Comments 0 Shares 781 ViewsCommenting is disabled.- This Canadian centennial 1867–1967 silver dollar is an especially fond memory for me. I've always loved the one-year centennial designs and sets. As much as I loved the color on this piece, it was certified MS65 PCGS and I thought it was worth quite a bit more than the few hundred dollars I paid for it. After deciding against trying to complete (!) a Canadian coin collection (copper, silver, and gold), I consigned this coin to Heritage auctions back in 2016, IIRC. I was nonetheless shocked at the apparent bidding war that ensued, as a bidder and an unbidder drove this coin up towards the final sale price, close to 4 grand with buyer's premium.
