Nick, there's not much of a market for 1970s produced commemorative coinage (regardless of who struck it). Even though the pieces are limited in number, they are also limited in demand and in my experience usually trade for the metal value or a small percentage over the metal value. I remember having one of the Field Marshall Montgomery coins, it was silver and by weight worth less than £7.00 so I gave it to my dad as part of his birthday present!

Coins don't usually have hallmarks but if they are some kind of precious metal there is usually a small certificate with them that details the specification. Actually I think my Monty coin had some kind of hallmark on the rim for that matter. Check the rims and try not to touch the faces of the coins, only handle them by the rim if they are not encapsulated.

If any of them are gold or platinum then they will be valuable as the values of those metals has increased by a lot since the 1970s.

The modern "collectors" coins will 99% of the time trade at bullion.

There are far too many people buying them today and being scammed for the future.

Your grandfathers coins have done quite well due to bullion increases.

These would of been purchased at huge premiums at the time though

You're rather jumping to conclusions with the "grandfather" reference Peter! Can't argue with the rest of your good advice though

The grandfather was from the original post in 2009... the recent poster only mentioned someone deceased, who may have been a grandfather of course.
