markn Pillar of the Community Australia 1295 Posts	Posted 07/02/2006 04:52 am Welcome to the forum. Well it all depends on the condition they are in and the mint at which your coins were made. For example, there are three main varieties of the 1941 penny all having different catalogue prices depending on condition. Try looking for a copy of 'Renniks' or Greg McDonalds 'Australian Coin and Bank Notes' in your local library. Both these guides give price guide for most varieties of Aussie coins dependent on condition, but these are retail prices. Generally you'd get a lot less selling them yourself. The other option is to go take a look on ebay and do an 'Advanced Search' on completed auctions and see what coins similar to yours have been selling for. Cheers, Mark Report this Post to the Staff
humpybong Pillar of the Community Australia 1262 Posts	Posted 07/02/2006 07:18 am Andrew, welcome to the CC forum. Greg McDonald's Australian Coins and Banknotes (Thirteenth Edition) is the way to go. Costs about $24.95 in most coin shops. You may be able to get it a bit cheaper as a new edition is due out later this year. Grading of your coins is very important as this effects the value greatly. If in doubt take them to a couple of coin dealers and compare there answers. Report this Post to the Staff

If they are average circulation grade coins then you are only talking the price of copper. I they are better then price goes up. Report this Post to the Staff

habiru001 Valued Member United States 236 Posts	Posted 07/08/2006 02:26 am Hello Andrew10, I took a look in my Krause Mishler book and see that several of your pennies in the 40's and 50's show a value of 5.00 and 6.00 in Extra Fine Condition. As to your half pennies- several of those in the same years show 1.50 to 2.50 values. You might be able to do some trading with some of the people on this forum that are into Australia coins. If you have any of the Shillings in Silver WW11 years, I am interested in acquiring-through trade- I have oodles of trade material in most countries- Book value against book value as listed in Krause...

lim118 Pillar of the Community Australia 1529 Posts	Posted 07/09/2006 12:55 am Welcome to our niche in the woods andrewten.... Just echoing what has been posted already....there are no key dates in the lot of coins in your possession, but then if any of them are in the very high grades (Choice/GEM) they will fetch you a few dollars.
