Hello17

did something new happen to coin making in the 1600's? my 1674 Farthing looks quite more ununique

Yes, most of them can be found in my local dealers scrap. it looks like it was purchased from a museum gift shop. Not saying there fake, but they are worth little.

i don't know but my ed the 1st is worth over 40, got lot in the 20s , whilst i have gEF or aUNC 1807 penny with a little engraved x and an 1806 in at least EF but is abit dirty , why does claning have to be froned at

I watched them, is there something you want us to say

Wow, the catalogues must be a bit high , my collection would be worth £580 if it sold for catalogue price

Is there no record of this lol? Surely this is the place where someone would know the answer Really lol? Time is ticking on when someone calls there child lol, lol. bck on topic I think it sometimes varies, an exact date needed?

Opinion please, not much to say other than it was a gift from my grandad attachments are of same coin, just named weird

Now have good news and bad news. Bad news my 1807 halfpenny is EF and thats quite a coin, but before i had , it has a deep x (engraved i guess) on it good news Fasle alarm... Thought i had a minor varieitie, 1882h penny, but thanks to the internet, im not jumping

Good thinking. That "it's worth over £100" is something every young collector should be very careful about. The nominal value of a collection (i.e. from Spink) is just that - nominal. Unless it's something a dealer or collector really wants, you'd be lucky to realise even a fraction of that. Sorry if that rains on your parade, but I remember well the painful lessons I had to learn about the "true" value of a loved collection. It will be worth much more to you - in years to come, even if only in memories and sentimental value - than what you'd probably get for it if you sold it now. it's worth over £100 Its worth nearly £200 but i haven't done all my cataloging The nominal value of a collection (i.e. from Spink) is just that - nominal. Unless it's something a dealer or collector really wants, you'd be lucky to realise even a fraction of that. That explains you very nice gift which is worth a bit catlogue -wise (and i like it) And that - at the end of the day - is what counts most. Having an emotional attachment to individual coins "adds value" (I've even been known to upgrade without disposing of the coin it replaced, I liked it too much!). i do like the coins you gave me, it was the first (maybe second) time i saw a brass threepence i actually like. i have coins love , like my 1674 farthing which is very valuale to me

I agree, i don't collect crowns which i shouldn't have told my nearest - dealer i would go with crowns if i was you , as they arn't named after something

Some Florins go expensive aswell. Shillings on the other hand are much nicer to the wallet. Threepences and sixpences are even cheaper but not as interesting to me.

Sure that's a HALF penny, Patrick? £5 for a Fine LT 1d sounds about right for dealer prices. Since I've been selling I've only ever sold 1 half penny, and that was a duffer, but 12 pennies have passed through my hands. Penny ..

i wish i could go to a coin fair,

my dealer sold me a 1902 low tide for £5 erm... i dont know what grade, it is at least fine probably (nVF)

You are not into Warhammer by any chance are you?! My son is heavily into this - talk about needing space, he's even expanded into the garden shed....coins are definately less messy!! Yes, but only painting them (which takes up a bit) sorry, even though i am a kid its worth over £100 but your post has given me inspiration. maybe i shouldn't sell them and just use the warhammer space as i can do warhammer painting on the dinner table. Thank you

People please stay on topic,

i have space for it, just it's minimal and I will be using the area nearby to paint!

I have been told by my mother that i have to go into the small bedroom This means i will have very little space. Therefore i am thinking of selling my collection. But i am too young for a Paypal. Can i have help - P.S. this is a old topic but i cannot find any rules

what condition, i have a EF one hope your birthday was good azda!

The date gets worn first? on my coins its the head. still a nice little coin

bottom left looks like a threepence. which is silver . the rest i don't know. have you searched around

Thanks!!!

I Have decided to catalog my collection and keep it but will be showing my catalog. Case Closed...

I am cataloging this week, about halfway past and i found out my collection could worth twice what i thought EF 1945 Penny £5 EF 1896 Penny £12 (this one has almost no wear at all, everything is there. maybe aUnc) Those made me happy Anyway... this is the list of ones I don't have Montana Utah Washington Arizona Idaho also time to get a camera
