Well at G/VG grades and some with holes - that's really just a pile of scrap silver. The Double florin is quite a nice big chunky coin - a decent one will set you back about £35 - so it all depends on the grade. It looks like you will get your value in scrap silver there -- but again I'm not really sure as I don't deal with that aspect of coins.

Thanks, the 2 coins that caught my eye were the Double Florin & the 5 cents Straits Settlement, from what I can find it only had a mintage of roughly 78,000 & I cannot find many for sale other then that I do not know anything about it...
