Hello, I was clearing out my house and came across a collection of old coins including a 1925 Australia penny. It would be great if any one could advise me if it looks real, what condition it is in and how much it could be worth. I'm completely new to this. Thanks!   |

Can you send pic's of the date and a bit larger/clearer pic's of the rest of the coin please? How rude of me  From what I can see so for this isn't a winner the 5 has the tyipcal chinese look about it |

I must agree with trout - doesn't look too promising at first look at the date. If it is indeed real then it is of a high grade gVF-aEF and probably worth upwards of 200 pounds. As big fred says - dont get your hopes up.

Sorry too say but it looks like a FAKE to me too,the 5 is too big for a start but better pics are needed.

I didn't think I'd be lucky enough to come across anything worth loads but it's really interesting looking through them all. Hopefully these photos are a bit clearer. Thanks for everyones help   |

OK,i'll be first to admit I was wrong,but the first pics you put up did make the 5 look too big. Good find  & in the area of VF but does have a couple of undesirable looking patches on it. Edited by appleangel07

Wow, that's exciting! Does anyone have any advice on what the best thing to do is? We're moving house and clearing everything out so I'm interested in selling anything of value but I don't know the best way to go about it.
