Hello, just came across my old coin collection. I am just wondering what are the rare years and common errors ect. that I should be looking for in Shillings, Two Shillings, Sixpences and other British coins from the early 1900's. Theres a 1928 Florin in there as well I think. Also what years have what silver contents? Am I right in thinking pre- 1947 have silver in them and post do not? What are the border years and what values in scrap for these coins? Many thanks in advance.

http://predecimal.com/key_dates.htm this should get you started. Ski Many thanks but no luck unfortunately, one year out with a 1936 shilling and a 1937 Georgie. I'll have to stick around though as I think this could be my new hobby, plus I've got a few bags of shrapnel that need finding and sorting.

I have 450g of 1920- 1947 coins so if I half the current 0.999 silver price of £206.60, to £103.30, and that what the coins are worth scrap? Also I got one 1918 shilling out of the whole lot. I have a load more somewhere but I can't remember where I put them. My God damn messy attic swallows all my good stuff. Only rare dates and those in the top grades, are worth more than scrap. And silver has gone up so much in recent times, that more and more coins now fall into the "scrap" category. Any Idea of where I can find a list of the rarer dates from this period? (Pre- 1947)

My Dad's a scrap metal dealer so we know all about that mate, theres still plenty of con artist's dealing in lower value metals unfortunately.
