THOMAS1222 New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 08/09/2010 3:06 pm I have lots of old coins, one that dates back to 1898, I am not interested in having these anymore, and wondered what value they are. For example; 11 old one penny coins: 1934, 1895, 1902, 1916 just to name a few dates. 1951 Half crown, 1938 half penny, 1966 one penny . . .can anyone help. There are a few foreign coins that are old too, I am just wandering the value of these coins, ALL COINS IN TOTAL- 50... PLEASE HELP AS I AM SURE SOMEONE ELSE WOULD MAKE BETTER USE OF THEM THAN I AM.... I AM NOT A COLLECTOR, all were given to me by an old next door neighbour, a drunken man who might have given me little bits of gold dust without realising ! ? I don't know the worth of these coins... DO YOU? THOMAS Moved to British Coins forum - Sap Report this Post to the Staff

maudry Pillar of the Community Luxembourg 588 Posts	Posted 08/09/2010 3:17 pm Without picture, we will not be able to help you out there. The value of a coin depends very much on its preservation. This does not mean you should clean it: a coin that shows obvious signs of cleaning is worth close to nothing! Report this Post to the Staff
THOMAS1222 New Member United Kingdom 2 Posts	Posted 08/09/2010 3:21 pm Thankyou, for this information although from research and my own homework I understand that cleaning is a pointless task !... Just one more question do you know anywhere/ anyone who can help Thomas Report this Post to the Staff

Jeff 11 Valued Member United Kingdom 497 Posts	Posted 08/13/2010 06:30 am Based on what you have said, if the Uk coins are in average circulated condition, then value would be very little as they are common pieces. Would need more specifics to have an idea with the foreign - there arn't many actual coin shops around in the UK anymore, and most would't help much. Best bet is to put a scan on this posting and no doubt they will be identified. From there ebay may be a way forward of selling them. www.kingstoncoincompany.co.uk Report this Post to the Staff
ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4416 Posts	Posted 08/14/2010 1:21 pm Your local library would likely have a few catalogues with pics. The catalogue would also tell you where to spot mintmarks, designating the branch mints, and some insight about grading. If you're not so inclined to do that, find a kid who might research them for you. Most kids love doing such detective work. You could give him/her a few coins for their effort. Offhand, your coins are most likely quite common ... never know though! Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff
