Are you new to collecting? Do you know about grading? (Do NOT CLEAN these coins) In very good condition some of these coins start off at 50 cents each some of the halfpennys are worth a bit more depending on minting. Do you have access to a copy of Greg McDonalds The Pocket Guide to Australian Coins and Banknotes? If you need specific prices for each coin we would have to know the grade rggoodie aka Richard "catch em doing something right" Report this Post to the Staff

latman100 Pillar of the Community Australia 1040 Posts	Posted 08/07/2008 05:03 am If you are new to collecting, you should be aware that the "very good condition" that rggoodie is referring to, is actually a grade, not a condition. A coin in very good grade is actually very worn and is a low grade. A coin that shows good detail and not much wear might have a grade of very fine, extremely fine, uncirculated. All these grades assign a different value to the coins, along with rarity, demand and overall eye appeal. To give you an example, your first coin, the 1921 penny graded very good has a catalogue value of 75c, where as in uncirculated grade, it catalogues at $1,220. A big difference as you can see. If you don't have access to a Maccas, you could post some pictures and we will be able to give you more of an idea. Report this Post to the Staff
