I have a coin with GeorgIVS V DEI GRA BRITT OMN REX and . OWN GR. HALF FID.DEF IND . IMP 1956 on one side is it worth anything please? Also, what denomination would it be? Thank you so much.
now that I see it enlarged, I see it says 1936 and not 1956. View attachment 835065 View attachment 835066 View attachment 835065 View attachment 835066
value of 1/2 crown is two shillings and sixpence old money (18 old pennies, currently = 12.5 GB pence)
Wow, now that is very nice, thanks for sharing the pic with me. I have had these coins forever, but, I am just now at the point that I can try to find out what I have and what they are. If they are worth anything or just something to give my children for sentimental value. Thanks for your information! Have a great day
@Pamela R. Dougan, welcome to CT! Consider the history that well circulated coin has seen. 1936...it could have passed through Churchill's hands; may have survived the Battle of Britain...but most certainly through the hands of many who, famous or not, lived during an extremely important era in the history of our planet! I collect many coins like that, the more circulated, the better...they are "keepers"!
Yes, welcome to CT! And @PlanoSteve hit the nail right on the head. These “veterans” all have a story to tell; for almost all of them the stories will remain a mystery. That allows us to use our imagination. Steve
