If in average condition - metal value. A few of those might be worth a little bit more if in better than average condition : for example if the shillings for 1957 and 1959 are Scottish (single lion upright rather than 3 leopards couchant) and in EF or better they would be worth what we Brits call "a few quid" (literally - nothing to get excited about). Likewise if the two shillings dated in the 50s are in mint condition, they would be worth "a few quid", but I'm guessing they're not! Condition is everything with coins, then rarity, and popularity is also a runner.The only thing that puzzles me is the "Large Cents" - are they pennies? Do they (I'm guessing this might be an itsy-bitsy cluette here) have the words ONE PENNY on the reverse? Quote

You could try putting an 'old British' coin set (Farthing, halfpenny, penny, threepence, sixpence, shilling, florin (two shillings), half crown) on ebay plus the best examples of the other coins. So long as you get a bit of profit and your postage back after ebay expenses you should recoup. Of course, if you have another way to sell you could even avoid the postage costs.And welcome to the forum dan. Quote
