I don't know if I want to them as a lot or individually. To be blunt (and quite predictable) I'd choose the method that'll make more quid! Chris, if I don't end up meeting with Colin, I'll post them out to you or arrange a visit to London (I visit quite frequently). Thanks for your interest

You mean send ALL of them in the post? Nah, I'd rather not spend the money shuttling the coins back and forth, especially if they're not worth a great deal. I'll get in touch the next time I'm near London and show you them in person, if I still have them. Thank you muchly for all your help

Another unidentifiable one. "GEORGIUS IV DEI GRATIA 1826" on one side, and a lion standing on a crown on the reverse, with "BRITANNIARUM REX FIDEI DEFENSOR" written around it. Well, its been a long day sorting through these! Here's what I have so far... Half Crowns 1894 1896 x 3 1897 x 2 1899 x 3 1900 x 4 1902 1906 x 6 1907 x 6 1908 x 3 1909 x 4 1910 x 3 1913 x 3 1914 x 9 1915 x 9 1916 x 3 1917 1918 x 5 1926 x 7 1932 x 8 Shilling 1891 1893 x 2 1895 x 5 1896 1898 1899 1900 x 2 1901 x 2 1906 x 3 1907 x 4 1911 1915 x 2 1916 x 2 Florin 1911 x 2 1912 x 6 1914 x 2 1915 x 2 1916 1918 x 3 1936 One Florin Two Shillings 18 in total, mostly late 1800’s 3 pence Around 300 in total, starting in 1800’s, going into 1930’s 6 pence 9 in total, from the 1900’s The others... well, they side in ominous piles, forcing me to sort them tomorrow. I think most of them are non British. They're bronzey and goldey, ranging in the 1800's mostly, and appear to be a combination of some British, German, Cuban, Palestinian, French, etc! What do you reckon? Flog 'em all for the value of silver where possible?

Fair enough. What's the name of a coin with Queen Vic on one side with "Victoria Dei Gratia" on that side and a shield with "1891 BRITANNIARUM REGINS FID DEF" written on the other? Also, a much bigger coin with Queen Vic on one side with "Victoria D G BRITT REG FD" one one side and, on the reverse, a bloke riding a horse and slaying a dragon, with "1892" at the base?

I'm in the Midlands - I wouldn't mind showing you them, it'll be good to have an expert opinion! Currently trying to sort all of them out - I'll send you a list of them all as soon as I finish. There are some older looking ones that may be useless as they don't appear to be silver. I can't work out what they are, though. Specifically, a bronzey looking one that has the head of a bloke on one side, with the writing "GeorgIVS IIIDEI GRATIA" one on side, and a shield on the other side, with "1790 G L REX F D M C M D S T M S F" etc(!) on the other side.

Ah, ok! Thanks for that I may have to post up some more of these, it's all confusing me a bit. What's the difference between a coin that has "One Florin" on it, and a coin that has "One Florin Two Shillings" on it? I'm sorting them all out (thousands to go through!) and can't decide if they all need to go under one category...

I'll try putting in the pics again... Hi, everyone I've recently come into inheriting a dozen coins, but after some amateur researching, I've been left rather confused about their worth! I have pictures of some of them Any advice about their value (or any other interesting facts!) would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
