Hello, My mother has 2 coins that we need appraised. One say FIFA WORLD CUP MEXICO 1986 and on the back it says THE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION The second one says D G REG FD ELIZABETH II and on the back it says QUEEN ELIZABETH THE QUEEN AUGUST 4TH 1980 They were both given to my motherby the owner of the England team.. Any help is greatful, Thank you
The first is a privately minted commemorative medallion, not a coin. To a soccer fan it may have more value, but basically it's worth its weight in whatever metal it is made of. The second is a Great Britain 25 New Pence commemorative crown issued to honor the Queen Mother's 80th birthday. It's either KM#921, one of 9,306,000 minted in cu-ni, or KM#921a, one of 84,000 silver proofs. From the appearance of the surface, I'll guess that it's the cu-ni version, with a catalog value of $2.50.
