Hello, I was just wondering if anyone knew whether a great condition 1971 British "New pence" coin was worth anything. I keep seeing them sold for prices of $1000 or more but some sites say they are worthless. Are they valuable, or not?

common coin 81,783,475 minted
according to my world coin book, they are worth between 25 cents and a $1.75, don't believe everything you see
they did make proofs 350,000 of them but they are only worth $2.50
so simply put no they are not very high-value coins

I'm curious- which site(s) you've seen them sell for that amount?
Could be a news article that one sold at auction that was a graded top pop or some sort.
It’s a common coin worth a dollar at most.

Weren't you under a different name offering the same coin in the U.S. coin forum last week.
Just curious. Seems like this is the second time I've seen this listing.

I used to sell them in my 10c bin, as I believe I mentioned in the previous thread about them.
Some have SOLD for $1,000? Now that I would love to see concrete evidence of!
Ebay.co.uk has a bunch of "tricky" 2P coins for sale that are NOT the 1983 NEW PENCE type - the one that actually has value. They are NEW PENCE from years that were prior to the change in 1982 to TWO PENCE.
Caveat emptor.
Well, just Love coins, period.
