    Higher or Lower: which coin is worth more?

    The coin value game

    Two coins, one question: is the next one worth more or less? Values come from the Florin House catalogue, and one wrong call ends your run.

    Why play Higher or Lower?

    A quick way to get a feel for what coins are worth, one call at a time

    One call at a time

    Each correct call brings the next coin. One wrong call ends the run, so every choice counts.

    Your best run

    See where your best run ranks against other players’ runs. Signing in keeps it with your account.

    Catalogue values

    Values are the catalogue’s current values, the same figures shown on each coin page.

    Play any time

    There is no daily limit: play as many runs as you like, whenever you like.

    Only coins with a premium

    Every coin in the game is worth more than its face value (face-value coins are left out), so each round shows which coins carry a premium.

    Share your run

    When a run ends, share it and challenge a friend to beat it.

    How to play Higher or Lower

    Simple rules, and no daily limit

    1

    Compare the coins

    You see two coins. The first shows its value; the second shows a question mark.

    2

    Make your call

    Choose Higher if you think the second coin is worth more, or Lower if you think it is worth less.

    3

    Build your run

    Each correct call adds to your run and brings a new coin. One wrong call and the run is over.

    Tips

    • Read the line under each coin: year, denomination and condition. The same design can appear twice, once Brilliant Uncirculated and once circulated, at different values.
    • Silver and gold coins are never valued below their metal content at current prices.
    • Every value in the game is the one on the coin’s own page, so a coin you look up after a run will show the figure you were playing against.

    How long can your run last?

    Start a run and see how many calls you get right in a row.

    Why are there no ordinary 1p or 2p coins?
