It is stressed that the following prices are a guide to retail prices only,
and are in UK pounds. They represent what you might have to pay a dealer,
rather than what you might be able to sell them for.
I can take no personal responsibility for their accuracy, although every effort
has been made to ensure that they have been copied correctly.
The information has generally been taken from the UK monthly magazine
Coin News,
and is reproduced by the kind permission of
Token Publishing Ltd, PO Box 14, Honiton, Devon EX14 9YP, UK
The headings F, VF, EF and Unc refer to the condition grades of the coins. A guide to evaluating grades is found on my UK Coin Values Index page.
Proof coins relatively often found are listed, but the absence of a mention does not mean that a proof of that year does not exist.
Oliver Cromwell, Charles II, James II, William & Mary, William III, Anne, George I, George II, George III, George IV, William IV, Victoria, Edward VII, George V, George VI, Elizabeth II

Extracted from Coin News December 2006
The lack of a value for a grade means either that the coin is rarely found in that grade or that its value is less than £1.
Very worn coins of Victoria and later may be worth no more than bullion value.
On 21st October 2008 silver bullion was $9.95 per oz (£5.87). The shilling prior to 1920 contains 0.1682 oz of silver, and this gives a bullion value of about £0.99 or US$1.67.
Shillings from the period 1920 to 1946 contain 0.0909 oz of silver and thus have a bullion value of £0.53 or US$0.90.
Please note that the silver price and exchange rates fluctuate. Current bullion values may be available on my Bullion Value page.

I would be grateful if you could search the site carefully before mailing me - the answers to the great majority of the questions that I am asked can be found on this site, and I am unlikely to reply quickly to such questions. In particular, I do NOT provide a valuation service.
If you have done this and still wish to ask for advice, feel free to mail me via my Advice page but please do not send me unsolicited scans or other binary files.
