Hey guys, I deciced to open up the box with all the coins in it today and sort through them. I have pennys and half pennys. Possibly some Shilings too.

These car the years:

1964
1963
1962
1961
1960
1959
1958
1957
1956
1955
1954
1953
1952
1951

1949
1948
1947
1946
1945
1944
1943
1942

1917
1916
1915
1914
1913
1912
1911
1910
1905
I have quite a few coins in each packet. I also heard that the 1910 half penny is worth $100,000 to $800,000, is this true, id just like to get a value on these, learn more about them, and learn what to look for to find out if had a error.
Also the 1947 coins they had a weird 7 on them, different to every other 7 on the other coins. Edited by Streetholden

1413  1413 Aussie penny? This alone can buy you a country!  Just kidding... there's more than a few Aussie specialists here so they can help you with the rarities. And don't clean them yet! You do know cleaning coins improperly (or just cleaning them!) can severely decrease its value! |

Hi
There was actually no Half Pennies or Pennies minted for Australia until 1911. So it maybe an English Half Penny you have.

So I'm goign to asume that anythign with the sparten lookin guy on the front would be english?
Also doing some googing and working out some values, 2 iv pulled aside would be:
1918 six pence
1915 one shilling
Both look as if they have had a hard live, worn down, six pence 1/4 is worn flat..
Also how can I tell if their "proof" or minted?

haha, first of all, SHE's not a man, and second of all, her name is Britannia. Britain's got the only coins in the world without a national identifier in words, so if you don't see the country's name, then it's British. |

Just a word of advice do not clean your coins as it can greatly decrese the value of them as I found out the hard way. Also post some pics and many of the learned people in the community will be able to give you a rough idea on the grade of your coins.
