Guest carol Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 I have silver 3 pences starting from 1819 to 1940.Halfpenny from1890 to 1967,Penny from 1886 to 1967.Various other coins and dates,but I dont know what they are worth or how to sell them. Please give some advice or even an offer!!EMAIL]cmckcherry@hotmail.com Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 Dear Carol,it couldn't be simpler.....Obviously the value depends on the conditions of the individual coins. You'll find that if they are not within the collectable grades the silver ones will be worth bullion value and the bronze ones won't be worth that much at all.Are there too many to send in the post?If not, you are welcome to send them to me for an offer, but you really shouldn't expect a Kings ransom for modern coins like that.Alternatively you can do a little research yourself, and perhaps start with this book:http://www.predecimal.com/books/ccgb2004framed.htmI always pay fiar prices for coins, but like to warn people that general collections of circulated coins like that are rarely worth very much.Thanks, Quote
Guest carol Posted February 10, 2004 Posted February 10, 2004 Thanks for your super quick reply. If you could advise me what are more sought after, I will see if I have them and arrange to send them to you.I have 1994 to 1960 one shillings,1948 to 1963 two shillings,1947 to 1966 halfcrowns,1922 to 1967 sixpence,1920 florins and a 1945 farthing. I was thinking about 10-20ish coins to start with. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Carol,To be honest, none of those are sought after at all unless in as near mint condition as possible. The silver coins older than 1947 contain real silver so have a slightly higher value for bullion content.So the threepences you first mentioned and the 1920 Florins, 1922 Sixpence sound the best, and will be worth a small amount (and I mean small! Unless in near mint condition)Thankyou, Quote
Guest carol Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Thanks for your help,but it sounds like it would cost more in postage than they are worth....pity. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 Well that is often the case I'm afraid.If you're sure they are all circulated and well worn, you may as well put them in a charity box. Quote
Guest carol Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 Thanks Chris,They are all in v.f or better condition .I will try closer to home again,it's been nice talking to you. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 The 1920 florins and pre 1920 threepences are really VF? I'd like to see pictures if they are. Quote
