290 farthings 1896-1951

[Rohan 0]

Hi i have 290 farthings that was recovered from an old shoebox . They box was damp and the coins have alot of verdigris over them. The condition of most coins aren't very good due to this with few exceptions. The coins range from dates between 1896-1951. Do they have any value in this condition?

Sorry to say, not.

Based on the photo the only value would be as scrap bronze. The only possible exception would be if you just happen to have one of the rarer varieties of the 1914 or 1915 farthing and the verdigris isn't too bad or can be easliy removed. That's very much a long shot, so don't get your hopes up, and even then the value isn't likely to be that high. For instance, I bought a 1915 close TT type from one of the dealers on here for about £80 in a solid VF condition.

My close TT cost £10.Put your time in on Ebay and dealers.

Mine was free but I'm NOT going into that story.

I won't point out the spelling mistake in that gent's name - you might say "How the devil do you know?"
