Value of a 1919 KN Penny

I have a 1919 KN Penny in my collection and I am told very different prices on different website and books. Could anyone tell me what the actual realistic value of one of these coins in a VF condition?

As always, it depends whether you are buying or selling. If it's genuinely a VF example then maybe around £50-£80. If you're not familiar with coin grading it might be best to post pics and receive some advice as many coins graded at VF are really only in Fine condition.

As you are probably aware, prices for 1919KN pennies vary between a few pounds to around £3,000 so grade is everything in establishing likely value.

I am going to rename you Pessimeter! A true Fine 19KN would go for a few pounds, maybe even £10 - £15 on the right day on eBay, maybe half that at a fair. It would have to be pretty damn worn to only fetch 99p.

It would probably only go for 99p if the 'KN' had worn away...

A true VF coin (i.e. one in which you could still see the complete union jack on the shield) would go for around £50 at the moment.
