Well, you nearly scared me off. I'm a nervous wreck with such sharp banter.....nurse.

i've been getting over 20x face for pre 1920 silver of which both grandfathers took out of circulation....just scrap...my actual coin collection is not for sale

Hi Chris About £10 to £12 in Fine condition (that is to buy from a dealer). if its been in the ground for over a 100 years much less. Hammered or gold seem to be the nicer detecting finds.

I initially though great, but then remembered there's nothing to stop someone having many accounts all with 100 per month each I'm sure the loop hole will soon be filled. I've personally got a buying and another selling account....it will surely stop some sellers listing 600 items of tat per week & I never sell more than 100 coins per month.....I shall be holding off for a month or 2 to see how it pans out. In the good old days maybe 12 or 13 thousand coins were listed under British now its more like 40,000. I wish you could block sellers.

I believe they are pewter

i've just noted your picture and the coins appear to be F or less

Nothing there is really a key date although the 1869 is fairly rare. Have a look at Chris's coins for a guide on grades if they are truly GEF you will get in excess of £100 although the cleaned/damaged coins will not sell for much....down to circulated F coins their value will drop to about £20. As long as you can get decent images they will sell.

Just to mke you all aware Ebay should be getting better in June as they are limiting free listings to 100 per month which should ZAP the 99p junk listings...about time....I used to spend a few hours per week on Ebay but haven't bothered because of the junk.

and another.......... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ELIZABETH-1ST-THREEPENE-1562-COPY-64-/270576290597?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Coins_BritishHammered_RL&hash=item3eff9a8b25

Hi Kev This is another one of those peskie replicas. They are always catching people out. Sorry to disappoint you. http://www.omnicoin.com/coin/962111

Personally I wouldn't take them for nothing.....recent coins with a problem....no thanks

Hi Alan There is one here for £275 I know just how you feel...I've bought a few "must haves" recently. Good luck Peter http://www.ringramcoins.com/antique_coins_catalogue.shtml

I gain more pleasure from quality non key date coins. My penny collection includes all the dates but I have a beautiful 1915,1932,1934 & 1938 which I drool over...my 1933 is only GF so I might put it on Ebay

Hi The reverse looks nice but I detect cleaning on the obverse with all those tiny hairlines.It would appear the coin has been whizzed (an American term for unscrupulus cleaning) Correctly graded it would be less than EF but the value of the cleaning has probably brought it down by a grade & a half....I would doubt any reputable grading company would slab it. Still it is an attractive coin.

Count me in Huss

I used to collect everything but now just concentrate on quality....hence I'm selling a lot of my collection.The one area i won't sell is my early copper although I will shift a few duplicates/poor examples. Pre 1792 French currency is appealing together with pre 11C hammered.....I'm just keeping good examples of all denominations and periods. I wish I had concentrated on Gold a few years back when you could pick up sov's for £60 equally Colin Cooke was selling a hoard of Cnut pennies in VF+ for £60 a pop. I did make a few star buys though

Now this looks interesting....an earlier listing. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170448567874

I'm tempted.... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1754-GEORGE-II-FARTHING-COIN-VERY-SCARCE-COIN_W0QQitemZ170460120742QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Coins_BritishMilled_RL?hash=item27b03706a6

Hi They appear correctly described. They look to have had a hard life and expect they will sell for £7 to £12 each...I've sold better and worse in that price range.

He has gone...apologies for the back sack and crack imagaries Lets move on and discuss coins

Not meaning to gang up against JAG but if he seriously thinks he is more intelligent than my grey hair sprouted out of my left bollock....I think we have a challenge.

I'm selling old stuff some making diddly squat and some doing well...I just go with the flow.Thats Ebay Quality is at the top range I'm sure..in 1970 1960 crowns were going for £4 mine just sold for £3 equally 1972 proof crown sold for just over a fiver...book price £30.The market isn't stable. Quality is what you want but plenty VF coins can be had for a bargain It won't stop me selling because I just need the space.

Hi Billie We would need to see a picture to ascertain the condition and date...However if the platt and ear are worn it is low grade. The coin is sterling silver (92.5% silver) so it has bullion value....the value would be only a few £ at best. Never mind it must have sentimental value PS What happened to the boyfriend?

Hi I think Peckchris has been a bit too generous. It would appear the 1748 halfpenny has met Mr Brasso which considerably lowers the value....perhaps F value which is about £15. The 1849 1d is a rare coin but yours grades at considerably less than F....be brave and start it off at 0.99p it will find its level.
