Collector insights
- Series context: Part of the Local coins series — collectors typically assemble full-year date runs, so single years within an established series carry demand beyond raw mintage.
- Struck at: Heaton and Sons / The Mint Birmingham (mintmark
H). Confirm the mintmark on your example before comparing prices — same-year issues from different mints often trade at very different levels.
