In my opinion, your best course of action is to visit a library and check out some recent coin books and research your items in the comfort of your own home.

You can also post high quality pictures of your coins that you have questions about. One coin per thread please. (Do not post multiple coins in the same thread). That gets confusing real quick!

Good luck!

Welcome to the forum.

From the BN14 number your pound note will be one of the last ones issued, between March 1981 and the introduction of the pound coin in 1983. I have a ten year old price guide which lists it as worth £5 in perfect condition. Try ebay.

You have one coin listed as "unrecognizable". If you post pictures of both sides, giving diameter and weight if possible, it is quite likely somebody will ID it for you.

Agree with the above, but we can't help you much further unless we see some photos.
Take your Threepences, they could be $100 or so in UNC, but worth just melt in Fine or lower condition.

You have listed Florins and "Two Shillings". The latter coin is also a Florin as it was worth 2 shillings but they changed the inscription from Florin to Two Shillings in 1937. The fact you have some high quantities of these mean at least you have some money just in silver value. Each of your 1920 - 1946 Florins has 5.6 grams of silver in it worth around £3.50 per coin.

All of the coins up to 1d and the Brass 12 sided 3d's have no metal value (Well a penny has about 3p worth of copper in it). Any coin 1947 or later regardless of face value has no precious metal value either.

With the 3d, silver round ones were issued between 1937 and 1945, and Brass ones were also issued in those years.

Hi,

So here is the first one;

1994 Bi-metal Panda.


a dealer said it was worth £39.

Kind regards,

Daryl

Far from being an expert on Chinese pandas, but the melt should be considerably more than that? 1/28 of an ounce of gold (or about a gram) as I think this contains is worth just north of $60. Accept that the dealer wants to make a profit but...

If the dealer only offered you 39 pounds for your gold price that tells you a lot about THAT dealer!
