Russ777 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Any help in valuing these silver coins, I am looking to sale. I tried to upload one big picture but too large for upload..? I know condition is paramount for grading coins most are average condition except 1942 Half crown which I would grade EF1 x 1889 GB CROWN1 X 1895 CROWN1 X 1889 HALF CROWN1 X 1887 DOUBLE FLORIN1 X 1942 HALF CROWN14 x silver three pences. 1915,1917,1918 x 2, 1919 x 2, 1920 x 2, 1933,1935,1938,1940,1941All are better than 'scrap condition' and the 1942 half crown looks extra fine. the 1895 Crown has the LVIII legend round rim, you can see detail clearly in the face on the 1889 crownI think these weigh in at 4.7 ounces.But as collectors items what should I be looking for?? Any good dates here or varieties I should be looking for???I would be looking to sell and would avoid ebay if a decent offer is accepted here..Thanks Russ777 Quote
Russ777 Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 The three pence I missed was a 1896 silver three pence making the 14 3ds.might add a little to value...Thanks Russ777 Quote
declanwmagee Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 let the market decide....ebay, 99p start. It's the only way. Quote
SionGilbey Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 I'd pay around £40-60 for the lot from a dealer. Quote
Peckris Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Condition is everything. The range of values for e.g. the 1889 2/6 go from around £8 in Fine to £100+ in mint. Pictures are essential, but they can be split over several posts, or else a scan of all together but saved at lowish compression, might do it. Quote

ThankyouHopefully I did not pay too far over the odds at auctionI am not too good on my grading so being given your grades/values would help.Thanks Russ777 Quote
Peter Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Your coins are well circulated and worth about £10 to £15 apart from the 1942 halfcrown ...although it looks nice maybe £2 or £3...it is 50% silver however your other coins are 92.5% silver...hang on to them and maybe a base for a decent collection.

Peter Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Something went wrong there....Your silver 3d unless mint are fairly worthless even at 20x face they scrap at 25p.Save them for your Xmas pud. Quote

Peter Posted January 15, 2011 Posted January 15, 2011 Over my years of selling and buying on Ebay it has worked out OK just limit your bid..I have one seller (a young girl) who sent a washer for a nice coin..It is difficult to tell off a youngster as I have a couple of my own...they would just get a slap.

Yes. I used to to be shy of giving eBay sellers a slap, but not any more. I sent back a '63 UNC set yesterday because there was unmentionmed green corrosion on 'em.No mercy these days; having said that, I'm still 99% satisfied, just more careful. Quote
