I have a British West Africa, two shillings, 1938 grained edge coin. How would I know what the value of it is?

Thanks for the help. I`ve registered with them as well. Regards Werner

what is a grained edge???

On the edge of the coin, there are a few dotted "grains"

thank you werner

Is that the King George I, II, III, IV, or V? Do you have line inbetween at the edge of the coin?

1938 is GVI

I am now totally confused whether this is a grained-edge or not?
Attached are the pics. Any info would be appreciated! Werner

It's the same as all of the others if I remember right; just a security edge. I will take a better look on the computer soon.

   At least you have the 1938KN coin where the variety exists, as opposed to 1938H where it does not. Still not sure what grained edge means, and I would call yours a security edge. The page above says security edge is standard - here is a 1938H with security edge picture as well ...

   If anyone wants to find the small mintmark it is at the base of the tree. Here is your KN ...

From what I can gather about the grained edge type is it's a reeded edge without the security edge

  You are right! See below for 'Reeded Edge' ...

Good luck with that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So, the coin I have is quite normal and its markings? or a "1938KN"? I've also noticed 2 spaces on the edge-pattern?

Yep.

The  1938-KN West Africa 2 shillings has 2 edge types.  The  VERY common 'security edge', which has a double-reeded edge, with forward slashes (or back slashes?) and dots between them.  The other type is Very, very rare and looks just like a US dime's or US quarter's edge and is known as 'reeded' or 'grained.'  Like I stated already, its rare, so rare that I've been looking for an example (in any condition) for the past several years with no luck.  So good luck to you all!

P.S.
If anyone out there has one, PLEASE try to upload a pic..  Thanks.
