Hey guys, my Uncle invited me round today to get some appraisal on some coins he had. In an old cigar tube (a big one) was a whole buttload of coins. He let me take what I wanted and asked me to sell anything worth selling.

(fun fact, in amongst these was an 1874S Vicky Shield sovereign!)



Heres the pennies: gave them an acetone bath and the house rreeeaks of the stuff even though I did it basically outside.

Also, lots of fun toning with coins which were around an old envelope - you might see some of those later.




Heres the cupronickel and brass coins:

Lowball Vicky, 1867:

Anyone interested, I might do an inventory and put it in the trade forum, but for now, PM me!

I guess I don't have enough posts to send you a message. I'm working on a Penny collection now.

Metzger, you can send a PM at 50 posts, but if you turn on your PM thing, I might be able to message you.

FYI, I have all dates from 1901-67 except (inclusive):
50->61, 41->3, 39, 31->3, 23->5, 08 and 03. I also have some Vicky pennies, but I'm probably going to keep them (they're all lowballs, which I quite like). However, I should be getting a whole pile of Vickys in soon.
