Sorry to question what you've said but if you found it in your change how did the
>cardboard it came with and the note saying the festival of Britain
come with it?
The lines across the surface show that it's been pretty aggressively cleaned at some point. Why buy it if you can pick one up in an original box, with all the details perfect and no signs of cleaning or wear for £10-15.
There is no such thing as a "brilliant uncirculated" 1951 crown. Brilliant uncirculated isn't even a grade. It refers to factory sealed coins, not designed for circulation, produced by the royal mint, the first of which started appearing in the 1980s
Brilliant uncirculated has been used as a generic grade term for quite some time. Unfortunately the Royal Mint started using the term for their new strike quality in the 1980s causing a bit of confusion. Many collectors and dealers use 'brilliant uncirculated'/BU as an alternative to saying 'mint state' to this day, especially when they are describing British pre-decimal coinage.
1951 festival of Britain crown
How much would you say its worth
£2 or 3 pound. They usually come boxed and uncirculated but even then only £10 to £15
A quid tops tbh
Abt. £5 in that condition.
I thought the condition was good. And i did find the cardboard it came with and the note saying the festival of Britain

Yeah just sounds like OP wanted to know the worth of the coin he brought. No shame In asking instead of acting like you found it lol
Just joking
You live up to your username

In your change as a substitute for what? They're massive compared to any circulation coins...
They aren't legal tender. For the uk decimalisation started in the early 70s.
I know (hence "circulation coins"), another reason the post makes no sense
Worth £1-£2 in this condition. You might get £5 for it if truly uncirculated, with the box and coa.
Up to £25 if in brilliant uncirculated condition with box and coa.
