Question

How much does one british penny from the year 1897 worth now?

Answer 1

If circulated, not a lot..looks like $1.00-$4.00 based on closed ebay sales.

Answer 2

There are actually two of them. One has the sea level on the reverse that is the Britannia side higher than the other one. My books do not show the difference not even the one from the UK. Depending on the coins grade the high water coin is valued at $15 to over $100 and the lower water one is .35-$2 depending on grade. If you live in the UK see a coin dealer, if you live in the U.S. see if you can find a world coin dealer in your area or maybe a coin club. If neither then try [e-mail] he answers coin questions for coin magazines he has a column in two of them and one is on world coins. Ask him how to tell one from the other. Hope this points you in the right direction.
