Question
How much would a shiling from 1899 sell for
Hi Michael,
A Great Britain shilling from this series, depicting the "old queen", is a popular coin. A well used one would be $5 to $10, while one with just a little wear would be $25 to $40. If you are lucky and have one in mint condition, you can expect $75 to $100.
Thanks for the question! =)

Expertise
My specialty is world coins from the 18th to 20th centuries, primarily non-US foreign coins and related areas such as errors and exonumia (tokens, medals, etc.). I can answer questions relating to identification, grading, selling, preservation and evaluation of such items. In addition to catalog value, I can give you the practical market value and trends for specific types of coins. I will also take questions regarding counterfeits (both modern and antique) and on how to identify them. I am NOT knowledgeable in paper money/banknotes, ancient or "shipwreck" coins. Thank you.
