Yes - pre-decimal British pennies - the top one is from Queen Victoria, the middle one from Elizabeth II and the lower one from George V. None of them are of any particular value: they are still very common in the UK and often found for a few pence in dealers' junk bins. But they make nice conversation pieces. These pennies circulated regularly until the UK changed to a decimal system in 1971.

Odd post seemingly from UK about common ordinary Great Britain coinage.

I agree. @Me2u99, any particular reason why posting them here was easier than just doing a google search yourself? Please don't get me wrong--we are happy to see your coins and help your with identifying your recent acquisition, it just seems odd that you would need help with these, especially considering you listed your home country as the UK. Are we missing something?

Hi, yes I do indeed reside in the uk and could of spent hours searching Google but after the responses and detailed information I received from my first post on the coin community, I decided to post some of the other coins I acquired while also looking at some lovely coins that others have posted. Seemed a win win. Also to answer Debrajc I was given a tin of old coins off a relative while sorting out some storage rooms, which includes some dimes, cents, half penny's, a "fake" Korean coin and a 25 pence coin which is also a British coin but one I never knew exsisted (probs as I was born 1985 and only really just getting into collecting coins) to name a few. And all information (which is tremendously appreciated) from this site. So thanks again guys.
