What old UK coins are worth money?

• Answer:

  There are so many British coins going back over 1,000 years with a collector value, that they could not possibly be listed here. The list for the last 200 years is still formidable. There are entire books devoted to this subject. I suggest you go to your local library and get hold of a current coin catalogue on British coins and start browsing. As a general rule, no circulated decimal coins will be with any more than face value. Gold and silver coins are likely to be worth their weight in whatever the current value of gold and silver is, at the very least. Mint "Uncirculated" and "Proof" coins will almost certainly have some collector value well above face value. These will usually be stored in some sort of protective packaging. Coins in better condition rather than poorer condition will have a higher value.
