Are there any British coins that are worth more than their face value?

Question

If so, what are they and what year were they made?

Answer 1

Well, the gold sovereign, which has been minted since 1489, has a nominal value of one pound. But a "BU" (Brilliant Uncirculated) gold sovereign of, say 1911-1934, sells for about $215.00. .

Answer 2

There are several but mainly confimed to pre-decimal coins. Silver coins made between about 1920 and 1947 were 50% silver, ones before 1920 solid silver. The rarest coin is a 1933 penny as there were only six minted. The queen has one, fiour are under the foundations of consecrated churches and one cannot be found.

Answer 3

There are coin collectors in GB also, but the turn in value of any coin is always face.

Answer 4

Yes, there are. They have rare coins just like the USA does. Get yourself a reference book about them.
