The fact that we are living and breathing and able to do all these things. The fact that we are not rocks and some divine coincidence made use who we are instead of some inorganic atom. The fact we can give things worth. We can categorise. Its all beautiful, the sight, the sound, the feel, the emotion, the taste. Even pain. We can feel that not many other things can. Pain may be painful, but we can feel it just as we can feel happy. Its amazing really that out of all of this we can do these things. Although it seems to suck sometimes its still wonderful. random fact: if you shoot a rabbit, it doesnt know why it feels pain, it doesn't register that there is an explanation, it just knows it feels pain and as a reaction will run away, even if its dying. Shoot a human (even if they did not know what a gun was) it would realise its something launched, have some sort or knowledge of what to do and so on. I dont think this was relevant but its written now... But if youre looking for one reason it would definitely be pie.

I'm afraid the previous answerer was wrong an old shilling is actually worth 12d (pence) and as there were 240d in an old pound it is 1/20th of its value. The modern shilling is the 5p which is 1/20 of a Pound so therefore u would get 5 pence for it not 2p.

The silver content is probably worth a bit. This was Queen Victoria's Jubilee issue year. There were three versions of the coin issued- first one was a proof issue, one with a jubilee head, and one was the same as the 1886 and prior. The most valuable of these is the third one which is the ordinary version-same as 1886.

First you have to find someone who collects English coins and wants the coin. Queen Victoria was queen for 64 years and her image is common. Her son on the other hand was only king for nine years and his coins (1901-1910) generally have a greater value. Edward VIII is the rarest of coins. Only a few were struck and those bore the image of George V and have a raised dot. He turned in his crown for a divorced American woman.

It's worth a shilling! There is no rarity of coins from that period so it has face value or what someone will pay for it. at most bring and buy sales old coins sell for between 50p and £1. however if you took it to a bank you would get face value. 1 shilling was 5 old pence and there was 240 pence to the old pound so you would get 2p due to decimalisation.
you could try e-bay who knows.
If you find a one shilling stamp then you may have something sell!

at first I thought you said you found "Queen Victoria shïtting in your attic".
A picture of that might be worth some money

Have a look on ebay, the ones closest to selling reflect the value best, remember to add postage cost to the value.

Funnily enough I did the same thing! :D
It's worth very little; if it's in mint condition a coin (Numismatic) shop might give you a couple of pounds for it (ie £2).
