Guest mark c

could anybody give me an idea of the valus of above coins

the 1797 cartwheel edges are very good condition also is it a two or one pence

it is approx 36mm diametre and 3mm thick it has GEORGIUS 111.D.G.REX.

on one side and BRITANNIA 1797 on the other.

the £2 coin is the bill of rights 1689/1989

i only found theses coins today and have no idea about coins.

Well it's a Cartwheel Penny from your measurements but if you could attach a photo, that would help us value it plus there's two varieties so we don't know which one you have. The £2 Bill of Rights also had two designs made, one for Scotland and one for England. We would need a picture for that too however the Englsih variety is worth £4 in uncirculated condition, which yours probably won't be, whilst the Scottish one is worth £8 in uncirculated condition. Pictures please!

The Cartwhell Penny sounds like it is in high grade because the edges are nice, however, you will have to attach a photo to let us determine a grade and therefore value it for you. Mind you, even the most worn coins sometimes have nice edges.

The Scottish Bill of Rights coin says "Claim of Rights", so that's easy to distinguish :)

Is Chris in England for his radio appearance? He hasn't been active lately.

I think he might be, it says on the home page that he will be doing the radio broadcast on the 23rd April, which is tommorow

Chris said he'd endeavour to get them on the site but we have no luck so far.

But it doesn't say anything about him putting it on the site on there!

And it's a pity they don't broadcast it online yet.

I'll ask if they intend doing that when I'm next there.

I thought by that he meant the BBC website, not the predecimal.com website?!

You don't mean predecImal.com by any chance do you? How do you know he will put it on this site though anyway?!

Stop being pedantic - if it's on BBC, he'll port it to here for ease of download to those who want it instead of going to the BBC for it.
