Coins derive their value from their rarity, condition, visual appeal and - most importantly – the size of their collector base. Our specialists are experienced at assessing preservation and identifying details that distinguish a common coin from a valuable one.

See also "Two Varieties of the 1716 Maundy Penny" by Dr Brian Robinson, Spink Numismatic Circular 1981, p.275-276 where he comments that the first recorded maundy distribution that actually included all four denominations from Fourpence to Penny was actually in 1731 in the reign of George II and that prior to this and sometimes after the maundy distribution would often be in the lowliest coins like the Penny we have here. The 1716 Penny is the only small silver coin of this date there being no maundy set available.
