Before long you'll have no spare time left, you'll have become an expert on spreadsheets and photography, you'll know eBay inside out, and you'll be squinting through a magnifying glass trying to decide whether something points at a border bead, or between them.Or you might just sell them, who knows?

Can you maybe tell us how many there is roughly, we don't want you to go through all the trouble of posting everything, so maybe tell us the earliest dates and if there's not to many, then perhaps list what there is and we can have a look through and pick out what might be of value.Value is always down to grade, so don't get to upset if the coins are not worth great amounts. Will you collecting yourself now, or planning to sell them on? Quote

Could you scan:your fractional farthing1876 halfpenny1902 halfpennyand any coin that's got good detail especially the older ones with a lot of detail.see:http://www.telecoins.com/scanning.html#PHOTOand crop it down the the coin bit with paint Quote
