o-train Pillar of the Community Canada 519 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 11:15 pm I have a few coins from my father/grandfather's collection and I've picked up the odd coin here and there. Just hoping you guys could help me with identifying any coins that may be of some value or varieties so I can focus my research. I tried to order them in ascending denomination.

o-train Pillar of the Community Canada 519 Posts	Posted 08/09/2013 11:47 pm So far I've uncovered that the 1879 One Penny coin had a mintage of 766 476 so I'm excited about that one although it looks to be about G-4. Report this Post to the Staff
o-train Pillar of the Community Canada 519 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 01:20 am Went through the mintage numbers for all the other coins. Some of them may be wrong as I was just using an internet site but I'll post everything with a mintage under 10 million. 1939 three pence (silver) 1 335 860, 1916 six pence 2 207 178, 1936 three pence 3 238 670, 1888 one shilling 4 526 856, 1933 three pence 5 578 541, 1884 one penny 5 782 000, 1911 florin 5 951 284, 1923 six pence 6 382 793, 1934 three pence 7 405 954, 1935 florin 7 540 546, 1934 half penny 7 704 000, 1940 three pence 7 914 401, 1922 three pence 7 979 998, 1937 three pence 8 148 156, 1929 farthing 8 419 200, 1932 six pence 9 406 117, 1951 shilling E 9 956 930 Report this Post to the Staff
Ben Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 4208 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 03:44 am You've got a nice collection going there. But just so you know, all of those are high mintage to us in the UK - the 1879 carries no premium above other vicky pennies - its actually one of the cheapest Bun heads! This website will tell you whats rare: http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/values/ Report this Post to the Staff
rooneydog Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 739 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 04:38 am Spink lists 16 varieties for the 1861 penny. Report this Post to the Staff
o-train Pillar of the Community Canada 519 Posts	Posted 08/10/2013 12:24 pm The 1879 mintage was a typo on that site. It looks like it is actually 7 666 476. Also the 1916 6 pence is 22 207 178. The 1861 one penny may be an interesting variety but it is likely too worn to find out. Thanks for the help guys, no undiscovered gems to be found but I still find the coins interesting.
