1981 "H.R.H. The Prince Of Wales And Lady Diana Spencer" coin
 
I have a Silver coin with "D G REG F D" "Elizabeth II" and a young
looking Elizabeth on one side, and "H.R.H. The Prince Of Wales And
Lady Diana Spencer" "1981" on the other.

I'm looking for the value of this coin. In my searches, I've seen
anywhere from 30 US cents up to $35. (even one listed selling for
$200, but then people can ask for anything they want!!)

I've also seen it listed as Austrailian as well as British.

Not with that inscription it ain't.

This is "ours": http://mendosus.com/chuck&di.html

Note we Aussies always acknowledge our country.

The worth of *this* coin? AUD$0.50 Maybe $3-5 in UNC. (But you'd have to
find someone topay that much). These things are still common in circ.

But you knew that, huh?

Your coin?
Don't know, sorry.

It would depend on where it was from and the condition. The UK and
Commonwealth issued a multitude of wedding coins for Chuck and Di in
1981.

Those coins are kind of sad now, the marriage was a mistake right from
the
start.

Well they had to do it...her face "was already on the tea towels."

They didn't want a repeat of the Edward VIII coronation or the 1940 Olympics.

Camilla Parker Bowles was one of the wedding guests and Diana discovered a
love note from her to Charles just the day before the wedding.

Bad, bad warning signs I would say.

Sorry, I was not anticipating a large number of coins with those same
exact inscriptions and images. Here is about as much as I can find to
describe.

It is a silver coin, 3.8 cm diameter and about .3 cm thick. The side
is not smooth, but with very fine groves.

It has a young looking Elizabeth with a crown looking off to the right
side of the coin with the inscription "D. G. REG. F. D." around the
left side and "Elizabeth II" around the right side.

Turn the coin over and there is the image of Diana in the back with
Charles in front both looking off to the left side of the coin.
Centered underneath, is "1981". Around the entire coin starting in
the bottom left is inscribed ""H.R.H. The Prince Of Wales And Lady
Diana Spencer"

If there is no indication of a country of origin it might be a privately
issued medal and not actually a coin.

It sounds like its the crown-sized coin minted to commemorate the
royal wedding.

Here's a picture of the reverse of that coin

Is that what you have?

The inscriptions match the British crown that was released in honor of their
wedding. The "face value" (not shown on the coin) would be 1/4 pound, or about
48 cents American at current exchange rates. I believe upwards of 25 million of
these coins were struck in base metal, and consequently are worth very little.
A smaller number were made in silver, and might be worth a bit more.

Don't think so. A "piece" featuring Elizabeth II, with the "D. G. REG.
F. D." inscription will usually be a British coin. Those older "crowns"
do not show the face value (25p) either, but are still coins :-) This
one could be KM#925 (Cu-Ni) or 925a (silver) ...

Yep. That looks like it. Also noticed what appears to be "pn" under
Charles' collar.

Is the coin worth much?

The 1981 Charles and Diana crown is worth a bare minimum of 25p.
It is theoretically spendable at that amount, although you might
get people looking at you oddly.

If it is in better than average uncirculated condition, it might be
worth a bit more. If you have the silver proof issue rather than
the cupronickel circulation strike it will be worth at least its
silver content.

Their marriage was not a mistake. Look at all of the good she was able to do with her fame. Look at how many children she helped? She was one of the first people to show that AIDS patients didn't have to be treated like lepers. And that marriage produced at least one boy worthy of ruling someday who has fearlessly served his country and continues to keep his mother's legacy of charity and compassion alive. A mistake....I think not.

$1-$5, or the value of the silver content, which ever is higher I guess.

There were 26,773,000 U.K. Royal Wedding Coins struck in copper-nickel and 218,000 struck in silver. If you have a silver proof in perfect condition with the Royal Mint original packaging and papers, you can possibly get 25 dollars in U.S. money - not an easy sell, but not impossible. If you have a copper-nickel piece, good luck at getting 25 cents in U.S. money for it.

The coin does not have a denomination on it, but it is officially tariffed at twenty pence in U.K. money. Perhaps a first class post office in the U.K. will accept them in change (maybe), but you probably can't get anyone else over there to take it in a straight commercial transaction or deposit.

My fingers slipped when typing the denomination earlier. I didn't bother to change it because anybody who thinks the Charles-Diana copper-nickel coin has any substantial value isn't the type of person to be tripped-up by any facts.

As for the silver issue, people in the U.K. seem to be willing to pay more for anything made from silver compared to here in the USA. But my silver shopping experiences over there have primarily been in London, which is always expensive.
