It will depend on if they are GOLD, if they are, then it would come down to weight, you will most definately have the minimum Gold weight value, although personally i have the opinion that they are Gold as your relative wouldn't give you 8 quid to get valued now would he, and with your question, its obvious that its not just any old 8 quid, so my opinion is, probably Gold. I'll add a P.s here, please try and post some pictures, those are very useful when trying to eveluate a coin.

DO NOT CUT THE TARTAN!!!!!!! Dave fae Scotland (sniper extrodinaire)

Declan, I'm very flattered by the discussions about my two books and you all comparing them in the same space as Freeman and Davies!! My personal view is that any newcomer or general date collector would be well advised to go for Davies and/or Freeman as they cover a wider field than mine. For anybody particularly interested in varieties and the 20th C specifically then clearly my books would be very helpful. I wrote them primarily because I was confused about all the different identifiers that seemed to be used in different sources, so I brought them all together in one place, as well as establishing some new ones. However, the aim was always to cover 20th C as this was where all my confusion came in. When it comes to 19th C the impression I get is that the identifiers are mostly singletons for a particular date/denomination e.g. the RRITANNIA sixpence of 1878 and these are quite well defined in the standard works. Also, of course Michael Gouby has covered the penny series pretty comprehensively in his book. However, I have toyed with the idea of 'doing' the earlier centuries. I'm just not sure that I have the patience to do it all over again, as well as tracking down all the types - there's a hell of a lot of them!! Then there's listing and photographing all the differences, not just the well known one and I find it a daunting prospect - god knows how Peck kept going!!! This was quite a task for the 20thC but at least the supply of coins was no problem. When it comes to the earlier ones, the number of specimens to either purchase or ask owners to allow me to photograph could become prohibitive. Several possibilities have occurred to me as options, but I haven't done anything with either of them. I have toyed with idea of a short book on Victorian die numbers and also with a book to cover overdates for all denominations of milled coinage, with photos of all the types. Again the problem is gaining access to the various specimens as I really can't afford to buy them all. I did consider and then discount a third book in my series to cover gold varieties of the 20th C. Two or three reasons. Firstly there aren't that many different types, so the book would be rather thin. Secondly, not many people collect gold anyway. Thirdly, I doubt that even fewer people collect varieties of gold. Having said this, I was staggered to find that there are three or four types of 1937 Gold £5 piece - I would like to own one of them, but I doubt if many people would collect each of the varieties. Finally, I did wonder about doing something on all the material not covered in my two books, particulartly looking at die cracks, and other faults, mainly for the bronze series. Any thoughts from the forum on what might be worthwhile? My opinion on the Victorian silver book is this. Why don't you gather the pictures first, then perhaps the book might not be so daunting, it might take a year or whatever to locate specimens that you require, but then at least you have what you require then set about the task of actually writing. I'm sure people of the forum who collect silver can help with good scans and you can always ask for help if needs be for a specific coin or die number here and hopefully someone might have it if you are struggling. It probably seems more daunting having to set about both tasks together (pics plus writing) but if you take it at your lesuire and set about gathering the pictures first then the book will probably be the easier part of the whole process

John He is on loan on a pay for play basis....guess what he is injured. He actually scored when he had a broken leg before we popped him up to you for £6m. It was that Robson chap who also collared Titus. Those two only fired on 3 cylinders...shame really. Christ is he sill alive? Not Christ, but Kieron Dyer lol

Plus his probabal fingerprints from handling taking the pictures, those come free

Don't get me wrong, there is 1 or 2 nice coins on the bay, but the crap seems to be iutweighing the good stuff right now, more scrap Metal than anything

You would have been if I would have taken £500!!!! Lol........And the undated 20p at 71,000, i only have 70,999 in PP or i would have took a stab at it. Wonder how much thats cost this tool to list with a 77k BIN

Lol, here's another mint example http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Mint-error-Old-1-2-penny-coin-Young-Elizabeth-head-/250789582603?pt=UK_Coins_OtherBritish_RL&hash=item3a6439570b

Oh don't worry Rob i'm not interested in scrap material

Is it me or does there just seem to be a whole heap of junk on ebay right now? There used to be some nice coins inbetween the shite, but it's all shite right now

No you didn't, you had volume 2 (covers 1272-1662) - the later one with Charles 1st in it which was what you wanted. Thanks Rob, couldn't remember which 1 i got

I did notice the last wave or first wave under the shield plus the border, but what was throwing me was the trident prongs didn't appear to touch the border teeth, maybe another variation, who knows

Here's a 1922 i was watching in the wee small hours of this morning, the trident doesn't appear to touch the border, but britts thumb was lower down the shield, so i convinced myself that it wasn't a 22 with rev of 27, see what you think

Another Northumberland fake shilling http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170619890763&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp4712.m570.l1313%26_nkw%3D%2B170619890763%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

Two volumes, each covering a different period. Hmmmm think i got the first volume from Rob, what you wanting for the 2nd Peck?

I got a North from Rob, i believe there's more than 1 book?

Oooooooooooooooh it's Christmas again, more goodies to look at. Welcome to the forum Peter. Is it a LARGE collection, how many coins roughly?

this looks like Edward VI

I thought red was looking for a Thai massage

Then that would be £550

Dark toned, but strong details, anyone tell me which Spink number? Must get me a North book, never seen one, anyone know where they can be picked up for a reasonable price?

Fiver then
