What I can ID there is

- an 1854? penny which is a bit blurry, but not quite VF I'd say, value around £5, perhaps slightly more

- a 1797 penny in rather worn condition, not worth more than metal value

- an 18th Century token, damaged by a punch, not anything worth much at all

- an 1825? penny, rather worn, worth probably a couple of pounds only, maybe a fiver

- a 1797 twopence in VF - the best item there by a long chalk and worth around £50 though I'd want to see a bigger picture

the two foreign items I can't ID though the reverse of one looks like a USA cent.

The other two aren't coins at all but commemorative medals. Bit out of my sphere bit they will have some value; question is how much.

The last one is a medal from 1820 from the liverpool royal institution. I have a letter from the institution dated 1976 says that's it's theirs and it's gave the owned free entry into any lectures etc. And the other small golden colour one

I have a letter from the institution dated 1976 says that's it's theirs and it's gave the owned free entry into any lectures etc. And the other small golden colour one Has 'Albert Edward prince of wales' printed on the face side dated 1872. do you mind if I put a few more up here for you to look at?

right, here goes

i have taken general pics, i knida guessed that as 'you lot' seem pretty clued that if you saw something interesting potentially youd be able ask for a better pic. in the box the is HUNDREDS of pennys from ed vii, geo v, vi eliz ii etc.... is there any dates that are good, or are the all crap? lol, a bag of half pennys 1960's and a bag of three penny pieces1960's again. then there is the rest of them that have picof. the ones in pic 21 and 22 seem interesting (but prob not valuable) so let me know please.

here goes

youre all a great help. thanks

There isn't anything that stands out as being valuable. I see an 1854 halfpenny, but that is the commomest date in the series. The picture is too dark to see the date on the copper farthing. The holed ones won't have any value either. All, or nearly all of the pennies will be worth scrap. As a rule of thumb, just about everything from the 20th century has to be in top grade to have any value. There are scarce dates for most denomiinations, say 1946, 49 and 51 for the brass 3ds for example, or the 1903 open 3 or 1926ME for example. Some varieties of pennies can be quite valuable, but you would have to look closely to identify some of them as they are mostly identified by colons in the legend pointing to teeth or gaps in the border. That isn't something that can be easily seen in the pictures, and by definition they are rare, so you are less likely to have them.

Lets not forget the 1940 single exergue line, that is also scarce

Thanks Azda! Added another fiver to the value of mine!

Only in top grade. Not rare at all in average condition (Freeman 'N')

I just sold a VF for a tenner. I think that's about right.

[azda]

My 1940 is only BU grade unfortunately

Well good luck to you Declan! If you can get a tenner for a VF 'single exergue line' 1940, then more power to your elbow. Personally I think that's ... harrumph ... "optimistic" - I'd rate one in around EF for £10, and £50 for a BU (in line with Spink). Like I say, Freeman's estimate is between 1 - 2 million of the little bleeders.

One of those mildly embarassing markups. Bought for £1.50 six months ago, sold for £10 yesterday.

Oh, an eBay bidder, that explains everything! Listen, you can't be blamed for what some damn fool decides to pay Who knows, the same idiot Santa Claus might pay you £35 for that 1949 brass threepence!
