Coin condition and quality
The value of a coin is always related to the condition. A 2018 / 2019 K - King Arthur 10p coin in good circulated condition (A few small contact marks on the coin, but retains some original shine and most of the original design detail.) is more desirable to a collector than a worn down battered coin.
Prices shown on this page relate to coins created for circulation (CIRC) and coins available to buy in Uncirculated (UNC) quality. The A to Z 10p coins and sets were never struck to a Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) standard - those sold individually in a small plastic bag or in the sealed Royal Mint card are Uncirculated and tend to be in better condition than coins that were bagged for circulation.
Some coins made for circulation remain "Uncirculated" as they have been kept in or taken from the original sealed coin bag they were packed in after being sent out from The Royal Mint. These are still circulation quality coins - but may keep more of the orginal shine and have a few less contact marks.
