Q: I have a 1937 Coronation medal and a 1951 Festival of Britain five-shilling piece, and two old pennies dated 1891 and 1900. Are they worth anything?
Mrs N
A: The medal is worth £5-£10, the Festival of Britain coin £10-£12 and the old pennies virtually nothing unless in mint-condition. Most old coins, British or foreign have no appreciable value unless of gold or silver, or from a low-mint year, or in uncirculated pristine condition.
