Yes they will increase in value but insignificantly. It's only the higher grade ones that really benefit from the price rises.

Five minutes late Will!

Well it doesn't really matter how clean they are, although that obviously plays a part, it matters more how worn the coins are. If you could either attach pictures (register first) or find picture hosting on the web, we can accurately grade them for you. If we take the condition of them as very fine, the penny is worth around 50p and the florin around £4. The half crown, if in the same condition won't be worth much as it is very common. I'm not an American man myself so you'll have to wait until a yank arrives or somebody with a copy of Krause (World coin catalogue) gets here. Hope I've been of help!

Expect around £10 if most detail is clearly visible.

I think Chris explicitly states if they have lustre. This would have been more appropriate as a pm, to answer your question.

Yeah I'm sure it's a misstrike People change numbers in some penny, I can't remember the exact date, so that it resembles a 1933 penny. It could be 1937 I can't remember.

Because I cannot see the bidding increase 15-fold in four days

I can't see it going past £400 really. It should go for round about £700 but I can't see it happening.

Probably a robbery because we have tons of authentic 17th century highwaymen around these parts

I've found old Post Office bags at the side of roads before. They scrub up quite nicely but I have no idea what to do with them!

Woooo I win (along with Sylvester, of course!)

It looks a bit iffy - I think he's right to play it safe. Something about the jewellery on the bust doesn't ring true with a coin that is purporting to be in that condition. It should be much sharper imho.

I've put them on my watch list. It will be interesting to see how much they go for - someone's gonna get quite a bargain if they're all the same condition as the ones shown in the pictures. The bag's pretty nice as well

I don't want any replies, I just need William to post his pic! But before that, here's mine! Edit: Aaargghh hosting doesn't work I'll just LINK to the site

List 49 a copper colour? Mine's light blue!

I had a 10p a while ago but I haven't had many 2004 issues. I hardly ever see the commems anyway, apart from the public libraries 50p, which seem to proliferate everywhere.

Right Conservative. HPJ, you're a CENTRIST

Spend it, no collector will buy it!

Not worth anything. People find prices in either books or from experience!

That's what you call it, is it?

If we can get Europe to work for us, as it is doing magnificently for the French and Germans, it would be a huge boon to Britain. That's what the Tories want to do if they get into power - "tough negitiation" is their line and it's worked before, so it can work again. Oh and HPJ, MEP's have no power whatsoever so they can't tell you what to do even if they wanted to.

Coppers is slang

Whenever you need another piece of silver mine's top of the list!

Splendid! Page nine seems a bit sparse though! Oh, I liked the little bit at the end "changed the shape" - very funny

Conservatives Not Lib Dems if they were the last party on Earth. A drunk, ill leader? Hardly the model PM, is he? The Conservatives will also scrap University Fees. The Lib Dems want to change our voting system from the traditional "First past the Post" to Proportional Representation because they can't be the ruling party any other way. PR doesn't work (look at the Weimar Republic!) and they are fools for thinking that it will
