I have recently inherited a number of coins and would be grateful for advice on what insurance value they would have. Pictures of coins here

There's quite a few there, and without a numbering system it's difficult to refer to them individually. In addition, as no dimensions are given, the copper coin could be a farthing or a halfpenny and some of the others could be either florins or double florins. Some people can probably tell simply from the image, but I can't.

That said, the pick of the bunch appears to be the better of the two 1900 crowns which could be worth approximately £100. The 1887 crown may be worth £30 -£50 and the other 1887 coin, whatever it is, also has a reasonable value. The rest (including the scarce 1925 half crown) have a value in the range of £7-£15 each.

As always, a scan does not tell you everything about a coin and these values could vary with the coin in hand.

I've just done a quick mental top up and for insurance I reckon about £375/£400.

A dealer MIGHT offer you £100 to £200....and on Ebay hit & miss but the Crowns even in reletivley low grade are snapped up.....you might get £300+ (but then you might have to post 20 odd packages )

BTW the crowns will have rim markings ie the 1900 will have either LX111 or LXIV (From 1893 there are 2 markings for each date) I bet where you have two of the same date you have I of each.

Not a bad start for a collection by any means.

Thanks to both for the advice. Looks like I have a new hobby.
