Hi all,

Hope this is ok, but seems to be the best place I could possibly get info having looked on multiple websites. 

I’ve recently been clearing a house and came across a bag of 600+ old coins. They are various ones from all over the world, only thing I’ve managed to do so far is pick out the old Penny and Half Penny coins so was after a bit of advice regarding value and what would be best to do with the coins as a whole.  

I’ve got 80 x One Pennies which cover 26 separate years and 129 Half Pennies which cover 36 separate years  

Any advice would be much appreciated. 

The other coins tend to be from the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, but are from about 15 different countries.

Can you post all of the penny and halfpenny years? They all look pretty worn so probably don't have much value but if any are of the rarer types they might be worth something.
