Hi folks,

A friend of mine asked me if I could upload some of his old coins for identification. Any info would be greatly appreciated as I am a complete novice.

I believe some of these are gambling tokens.

Many thanks,

Stephen

okay from the top
first coin on the left is 1797 two pence
second coin is a penny I believe 1806-1808 King George III
third coin is later date half penny of King George III
fourth is also penny 1806-1808 King George III

Fifth is penny also 1853 Victoria
Sixth is again another penny 1806-1808 King George III

And the 4 gambling tokens (usually brass)
trying to imitate a Spade Guinea.
The real one will be gold 22 carat

Thank you so much for the feedback. Apart from the metal, is there another way of telling a gambling token apart from the real deal?

The condition they are in maybe £1 for the lot.
Gaming tokens (brass) will weigh diddly.A gold sov will weigh approx 8g brass will be half of this.

I do however like gaming tokens....family card games 2p's are king.
