Don't encourage fraud guys. Some dumb kid might take this seriously and get himself arrested as a result ... Quote

Unfortunately a "load of old coins" normally aren't worth a great deal, unless they have been carefully stored and are either of significance, or in an excellent state of preservation (but preferably both). With regards to the growing number of stories in the daily rags regarding the completely ludicrous prices attached to coins of little to no real worth, they are just that, stories. If you could provide a couple of images and a brief list of coins, it may be possible to assist you further. Quote

PROBABLY not worth anything much (if it's the average accumulation of predecimal coins). But any silver coin dated before 1947 is 50% real silver, and before 1920 is sterling silver. (Best to start a new thread than piggyback on an old one). Quote

Paddy Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Well a few bits with a little value here - the George V threepence and shilling at least have silver content, but are not worth more than that - maybe £1 for the two. The 1986 Commonwealth games £2 is cashable at the bank for £2 - you might get 3 at a car boot sale. The best of what you have posted are probably the two Christmas 50ps - there seems to be quite a few collectors for these - check on Ebay as I cannot se the dates from your pictures. BTW - no need to post all your pictures twice! Quote
Unwilling Numismatist Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 The Christmas 50p's can be a winner on Ebay (not for me, I only do British mainland). The old £2 might make £4 or bank it.. The 1936 shilling and threepence are 50% real silver, but I wouldn't expect those to make more than a quid or so. The rest is not in any great demand as there is so much of it about. Quote
zookeeperz Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 I was umming and rring about the xmas 50 pence's myself at one time. They have a huge following and prices just go crazy at times. Although it would seem the issuers have also cottoned on with the ever increasing purchase prices. No change there but too many thumbs in too many pies is never a good thing so I let it rest and just view from afar lol Quote
Peckris Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 Just for education purposes - the 1951 sixpence is in a high grade. That doesn't make it worth very much unfortunately (a couple of £?) but it's worth keeping to show the minimum condition that modern coins (certainly post-1937) should be in. 1 Quote

Paddy Posted June 1, 2018 Posted June 1, 2018 Well Ebay suggests £20 to £25 each for those two, so useful finds. Quote

Are any of these worth anything? They are of course worth face value. Some collectors see them as nothing more but if you are staring out, its a good place to start. Don't be put off by previous comments. Don't throw them away, keep them and don't clean them, put them in an album and try and collect different years, keeping the best condition ones you have. One day they will be worth more than face value and it's a cheap and easy way to start collecting coins. That is a fascinating and addictive hobby. Edited June 1, 2018 by markflorida 1 Quote

These were released in Martini and Heinz BUNC set before the error was reported and subsequently withdrawn from further official sales. Similar to the lines through the face Olympic 50p. I have one of these martini sets for sale containing the all important NEW PENCE 2p error coin & comes complete with original paperwork including the compliment slip. For sale @ £1500 posted special delivery next day before 1pm at my cost. Others are selling their sets for £2500 + but i want mine to sell to someone that will appreciate its beauty & value .

Peckris Posted June 25, 2018 Posted June 25, 2018 2 hours ago, Guest Codey said: Quite a bit" "Worth" for coins is only relevant to collectors, unless the coins have bullion value, e.g. silver, gold, or large coppers. The only valuable 2p with NEW PENCE is 1983, when the legend had been changed to TWO PENCE apart from a few in sets. Otherwise, you're looking at collectors' coins only, for example coins from proof sets (especially where there was no normal currency coins with that date), or specimen sets after 1982. These would be worth up to a few £ each for examples in absolutely mint condition, but ordinary currency decimal coins are worth only face value, perhaps a fraction more in mint condition but finding a buyer for them would be difficult. Ignore price guides - yes they may give a value of 20p for e.g. a 1977 uncirculated BU 2p, but getting that? Not a hope, really. Quote
Guest 1971 coins Posted August 14, 2018 Posted August 14, 2018 Can someone tell me what these are worth please Quote
