  1. Without wishing to sound gushing, fawning or cap doffing, thanks once again to all you guys for your guidance and help... Yours DQ
  2. Was not aware that weight was of such importance. Will probably wait until the New Year now and get all the minor details correct before putting them up for sale. Sorry to be a pain [again] but can anybody confirm what C7 is? A special issue war-time threepenny piece? DQ
  3. @bagerap If you are talking about A1 Victoria then it looks silver or A1 Leopold then that appears bronze. Apologies if my metallurgy skills are somewhat lacking... With the first four that I posted seemingly of the highest value, can anyone possibly point me to a suggested minimum bid should I put them on ebay? Other selling suggestions are most welcome. Thanks again
  4. These are the rest...have described them as best as I can and again, many thanks for all your guidance and advice. And don't forget to let me know re any football ephemera available for sale. DQ Row A 1) This is Belgian with image of King Leopold II. Not sure it it's a coin but is undated and inscribed with the 'Louvain Society of Agriculture and Horticulture'. Presumably pre-WWI. 2&3) 1981 Charles and Lady Di marriage x 2. Probably £5. 4) 1977 Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee...£5? 5) 1965 marking the passing of Winston Churchill. 6) Has QEII head on the back but the front appears to be from Cyprus. Row B 1&2) 300 anniversary of the 'Bill of Rights' - 1989. 3) French - Napoleon III so pre-1870. Has been well worn so cannot see if it is Francs, Cents or Sou. 4) 1912 [H] One penny - George V. 5) 1961 One penny - QEII. 6) 1967 One penny - QEII. 7) One shilling piece - 1838. Early Victoria but well worn. Row C 1) One shilling piece - 1922 George V. 2) One shilling piece - 1935 George V. 3) One shilling piece - 1948 George VI. 4) Sixpenny piece - 1848 Victoria - well worn with hole so presumably once on a bracelet. 5) Sixpenny piece - 1933 George V. 6) Sixpenny piece - 1966 QEII. 7) Threepenny piece - 1940 George VI. Never seen one like this before. 8) Farthing - 1892 Victoria. 9) Farthing - 1900 Victoria. 10) Farthing - 1901 Victoria. ROW D 1) Farthing - 1907 Edward VII. 2) Farthing - 1910 Edward VII. 3) Farthing - 1911 George V. 4) Farthing - 1911 George V. 5) Farthing - 1911 George V. 6) Farthing - 1913 George V. 7) Farthing - 1919 George V. 8) Farthing - 1940 George VI. 9) Farthing - 1941 George VI.
  5. One man's 1933 penny is another's 1923 FA Cup final programme...if you get my analogy! Just send me a PM with what you have and I will gladly make you an offer, if they are what I'm interested in...
  6. Cheers chaps for all your help so far....will post the rest tomorrow when I get a bit more time. What would you suggest is the best avenue to go down in relation to selling said items? Ebay seems the obvious choice but usually give that a swerve before and after Xmas.
  7. Has to be first class with ice cold wine and sun...don't do this snow lark - as it is right now Right, if we call them A, B. C, and D from left to right.. Haven't got anything to hand with which to weigh them but A is a smidgen smaller than B, although that is probably to do with wear and tear - yes 39mm. C is 19mm while D is 21mm. B has a couple of nicks on the rim but there does not appear to be any silver showing through. Hope that is more helpful - apologies for any vagueness.
  8. Hopefully that's okay? Just gutted there were no football programmes from a similar era as I'd be wintering in the sun drinking chilled Rioja by now... Cheers once again guys.
  9. Won't let me post the reverse - file too big. If it is needed then let me know and I will make the effort to post. Thanks in advance for your help.. DQ
  10. Ha ha..that's what the bloke down the pub said! Anyway, I slightly miscalculated as to the amount that may or may not be half/sovereigns. Can only load one pic at at a time so obverse side of these four to follow. There are another 15 but these are hard to photograph and are in the main post-Victorian farthings apart from an 1838 shilling piece, which hasn't worn well with age.
  11. Okay give me 15 minutes.. Not sure what the forum rules are re pics so thought I'd ask first...
  12. Hi guys Hope this is the correct section, if not please feel free to move. Just discovered a selection of old coinage in my long-passed parents' attic. Probably about 20 or so in total with many Victoria odds and sods which I believe to be half/sovereigns or similar. Is it possible to get a valuation on here or can somebody point me in the right direction in how to discover their worth? Many thanks DQ
