Hello folks,

I have a 1966 One Shilling coin dated 1966. According to the tables, only 27 were ever minted! can this be factual? it seems too small for a batch!

Anyway, I have one and I wondered what it may be worth in GBP today?

How do I judge condition?

hi, I think your coin is just a regular 1966, it doesnt look like a proof coin

Is there a reason why you think it's a proof coin ... showing a lot of wear?

By the way, welcome to the forum! :D

​I must have missed the line that said 1966 Mintage 20,000,000.

Its obvious to me now.

Thank you for your help and the welcome.
