As a chunk of silver it is worth ~$13 per troy ounce of actual silver content, but other than that there is no way to evaluate it without clear pictures of both sides, as the value depends greatly on the condition of the coin, as well as its relative rarity.

 

im in the uk hunni i cant get a clear pic of it by cam not working its very shiny on both side as kept in very good condition

 

best pic i can do hunni cam not good enuf

 

jibbie,
welcome, and someone will help you, I think.

 

I cant see anything

 

Welcome to the forum jibbie,
I have around 5-6 Elizabeth I coins and I paid between $20 and $100 depending on the denomination and condition.A really nice sixpence or shilling that is not too worn down can set you back a couple of hundred but the little silver 1-3 pence coins in fair condition are quite affordable.

 

Try usiing a flat bed scanner to get a pic, I normaly find that works fine :smile and welcome to CoinTalk :hail:

You'll never get a decent price with those pictures, you have to get them clearer.

 

Please tell me that you have not been polishing it for 12 years Jibbie I am realy sorry to have to tell you this but if you have been cleaning it then you will have ruined the whatever the top end of its value would have been also dont know of any free auctions

Again I am so sorry to have had to tell you this

Welcome to coin talk Jibbie

 

no not been polishing it just was kept in very good condition i kept in a clear bag never poilshed it

 

Thank god for that, I felt so bad having to tell you that cleaning it would ruin it's value, next is you are going to have to get a decent pic if possible as no one would buy it from the pic posted :-(
Do you know any one with either a flat bed scanner or a decent digital camers?

De Orc :smile

 

ill have a look

 

need to ask can you make out any of the writting on it? then I can check in my coins of England book

ok just trying to get a camera to work
i just want to know if it worth anything

 

Unfortunatly without a clear pic of both sides of the coin it is impossible to say, as there are quite often variation, then condition to take into account. It is a bit like asking how long is a piece of string :goofer:
