Valued at About 50 Pence
Most of the time, novelty coins are worth less than the material they’re printed on. For instance, nobody’s going to pay an actual dollar for a Monopoly dollar, and that Chuck-E-Cheese coin you took home with you 20 years ago hasn’t appreciated in value.
However, some coins, while having no monetary value whatsoever, become collectible items that certain people would pay good money to have. This person found a 50-pence coin with Sherlock Holmes’ silhouette. It may have been a strange finding to the OP, but these coins were recently made in celebration of the fictional detective’s 160th anniversary. However, a certain type of Sherlock Holmes coin sold for €795.
