<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 1132376, member: 25270"]I have a world coin catalog from 1901-2000, but not for the previous century so I have little to go on as I look to add to my British penny collection. I have all dates from 1889 to 1967 (I'm not as interested in the new style) with the exception of a few varieties. I have some others scattered between 1853 and 1886. One thing I'm wondering is if there are any years in the Victorian era that no pennies were made? I don't want to waste time looking if none exist. The second part is harder - is there anywhere I can get an idea of what some of these should be worth without buying a $70 catalog? Often when I search on eBay I only find two or three matches for a date with high buy it now prices, but it's hard to tell if that means the coin is rare and valuable or if that seller is just trying to get rich. I'd like to know which dates I should just settle for a worn copy on and which I should try to do better.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
