Sorry, but there are thousands of them in circulation and 1912 isn't old (I have quite a few that predate that and aren't worth anything).

My oldest coins are Roman - a silver one from AD240 and a bronze one from AD254 (worth about £20-£30 pounds each). The bronze one I view as a good luck charm tho cos it has the goddess Fortuna on the reverse, nice to have!
20 - 30??? wow i thought you would get more for a roman coin[/QUOTE]The thing is that the Roman mints pumped out coins like there was no tomorrow, so most Roman coins are quite cheap. It's only the early ones that are really worth much.
