Thankyou so much guys! I truly appreciate it. I never really thought much about coin collecting as I've collected antique books for about 5 years, oldest to date being 1716, but now for some reason I'm obsessed with these coins and feel like I need a complete collection! Thankyou again, I shall take your advice! It is a lot to take in, but I look forward to learning more and starting my own collection! Lucy

Hello there, I'm new to the forum. I've recently come across some coins that were inside a tankard that belonged to my late father. They've been sitting there almost 13 years and I had no idea they were in there. I don't have pictures to upload right now. I've been doing a little research and have been considering keeping them and possibly starting my own coin collection, I've become strangely fascinated by them except I'm really struggling to understand the lingo, like striking and die etc. I wondered if I listed the years and the coins of a few (some are rather dark and aged but the year and pattern is still visible) maybe someone could tell me if those coins are worth much for starting a collection or if I should just start with something different. 1874 - One Penny 1897 - One Penny 1899 - One Penny 1906 - One Penny 1913 - One Penny I have various other currencies such as farthing, shillings, florins etc. ranging from 1862 - 1990. I would appreciate any insight into the value of these, or if anyone knows a website or book I can learn more about my coins from. I've considered getting them valued locally, but I want to know about what I'm having valued. Thankyou for any replies and advice. Lucy
