Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 06/13/2007 8:10 pm My wife came home from work and asked me if I wanted some pennies. I of course said "sure". She then gave me some old copper coins that were given to her by an older co-worker who knew that we collected coins. He didn't want the coins, as he has had them forever and is really mostly a stamp collector. The coins are: 1890 Britain One Penny- VG 1870 Britain Half Penny- VG (but bent) 1845 Britain Farthing- G 1899 Canada 1 cent- VF 1871- Canada (Prince Edward Island)- VG I know nothing about non-US coins, so if anyone knows approximate values of these that would be great. The grades are approximate based on the way the coins look to me, although I could be off. Report this Post to the Staff

Gary Burke Rest in Peace United States 3730 Posts	Posted 06/14/2007 02:22 am Sorry, I would love to help, but the reference books I would use are loaned out. I do have three of the five coins you listed, and I don't think any of them were worth very much as far as dollars and cents is concerned. Report this Post to the Staff

The other British ones are probably less than $1. The Canadian cent is listed at $4 in VF-20, while the Prince Edward Island is listed at $1.75 in VG-8. I'm using a 2004 Krause, but it probably doesn't make too much difference. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis Report this Post to the Staff

Thundercoin Pillar of the Community United States 675 Posts	Posted 06/14/2007 11:36 am Thanks for the info guys! Yes it was a really sweet present from a co-worker. My wife was a little hesitant to take the coins, but he said that he didn't collect coins anymore and didn't want them. He just said that if they were worth a ton and we went on a vacation to send him a postcard. Report this Post to the Staff
