For a second issue shilling in Fair to Fine I'd expect to pay £30 to £40. If I sold one on ebay I'd hope to get between £20 and £30. All prices are of course just an estimate, but for commoner issues like this condition is everything when it comes to price.

If that helps?

Free is always good! How much? Sadly the wear on the portrait does reduce value but I've seen coins like this (where the mint mark and legend are legible) sell (again on places like ebay) but you'd be looking at only a few quid really. Perhaps £15 very max unless you're lucky.

As for me, unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately!) I've reached a stage in collecting where there are only perhaps one or two coins out of every hundred I really want/need. Yeah, makes me impossible to buy for at Christmas, but what can you do?
