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
