PF 70s were ~$3000 USD; 69s: $2400 USD. I checked today and all they have left are 1/20 Nobels (about the size of a US dime). There around $200, but I forget exactly. I&#039;m more interested in the new 1/4 pound British Sovereign first minted in 2009. About $150 and around the size of a US nickel.</font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Verdana"><br /></font></p><p><font face="Verdana">Sorry for the long post; but I hope it was helpful</font>!--[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
