1838 halfpenny

1853 halfpenny

1853 halfpenny

1854 halfpenny

view the images to see please reply to what you think of this deal and what they are worth now please

[Chris Perkins 223]

They're worth about £4! One is very worn, one very polished, one very damaged and the other has verdigris.

Well worth £4 of course because of the history and the dates themselves will fill holes. Have you seen my sales listings for halfpennies:

http://www.predecimal.com/british-coins-ha...c-51_32_41.html

There are some cheap ones there too.

no i can sell these easily more then £4.00 and i will trust me and yes i have seen your coins i brought some and other stuff every week

[Chris Perkins 223]

I expect you could easily find a novice to give you £2 each, but I'd certainly sell them for £1 each. I'd feel guilty asking much more! Good luck, I hope you can make £10 out of them!

[Peter 615]

No disrespect Fidgy but I've thrown away better coins.

Buy the best you can afford and don't get carried away by Ebay.

NEVER buy 20C farthings from Ebay...check out the dealers 1st

I always find a day out at a coin fair puts things into perspective.

[scottishmoney 18]

Never buy farthings unless you can find them in quantity, I still haven't. Out of 6000+ predecimal coins, I have a mere 28 farthings. They didn't stick around long enough in circulation, being phased out in 1956, that they didn't make it to D-day to get demonetized and hoarded.

You can get lucky sometimes, but it's hard work trying and can become very tiring after a while. I admire people that buy and sell on ebay (properly I mean, not just with endless suppies of new items) but you'll need to continue a lucky streak.

On a related note, your grading of coins is very suspect. All I've seen have been overgraded or have had a higher grade implied. But, that in itself is common on ebay and the real collectors know what they're doing.

[scottishmoney 18]

Adding to what CP said, the coins don't look like something I would even bid £1 for, as they are tampered with, ie cleaned etc.

[Chris Perkins 223]

But there are always novices out there that think they're on to something and over grade the coins themselves, from the pictures. Buyer beware and all that. It all comes down to knowledge....and when neither buyer or seller have much of it, then things sometimes sell for falsely inflated prices!

none of my coins are cleaned inless of course they are cleaned before i get them by some one stupid i get good deals quite alot another was an 1841 penny and a few halpennys which are mint with lustre i only grade my coins from what i buy them as

[Chris Perkins 223]

You mean you believe what other people say!? Sounds like you will want a copy of the Official British Coin Grading Guide, soon to be published by me (title TBC). It might just revolutionise the way eBay sell modern (post 1797) British Coins!

hi from the begining again i have listed one of the coins in auction and already making more then what i paid not a lot but we will see how much it makes at the end

190177494296 the item number

and the others in my shop which has had a few interest in them already might earn around £15

and of all of em put together

[CartwheelTwopence 2]

Did you sell them already? How much?

[azda 973]

From 2007 mr cartwheel

[Paulus 1,942]

I think Cartwheel might be his first name?

[azda 973]

Mr Cartwheel Twopence

[Peckris 579]

No no - it's a double-barrelled name : Cartwheel-Twopence (Grandpa was Cartwheel, Grandma was Twopence )

[CartwheelTwopence 2]

No no - it's a double-barrelled name : Cartwheel-Twopence (Grandpa was Cartwheel, Grandma was Twopence )

Hey! It is my favorite coin, so I felt as though it should be my chosen forum name! (Well, actually my fav coin is the gothic crown - but that wouldn't sound very good...)

I can't really criticise - as you will no doubt have noticed, my avatar is one also.

And a jolly good name it is too, CT!

[TomGoodheart 373]

Perhaps I should change my name to Old&Hammered ... just a thought.

[Peckris 579]

As long as it's not Old Hammered & Bent..

[Coinery 926]

Yes, I do think TG should change his name to 'crease me up' or maybe even 'been snipped'?
