Maundy 3 pence 1762 + 1836 4 pence

[Citizen H 97]

Hello, Today I may get to have this right.

George the III 1762 3 pence Maundy 

George the IIII 1836 4 pence

?

Following Input also welcome. 

It has now crossed my mind that I should be thinking of valuation, Not for the purpose of selling, more about as this has accumulated over the years I've never been concerned by insurance.  

I will also will need to make others in the family aware as the inheritor's of "the hoard" will have to deal with such matters later on in life.    

many thanks for all of the the previous e-mails its really been a boost in my life and all the help has really assisted me with something that I wasn't able to get by with on my own. Rgds "H"

Just looking back over your last 5 or so coins, I don’t think any of them are worth more than £20. A great and varied selection, however, and it sounds like you’re enjoying the research into them.

Its been an enjoyable time picking up things over the years, worn out, rubbed and in normally a box of others that have been sift through by them who are farther better in the know... these i think were just planted there to sell on to the naive "these are worth a fortune !"  I wouldn't have paid that much for them as I do like old, history and a good haggle! even for the scrap ?!?!?!. 

I would like to think that moving on with the show and tell some real Gem's will appear in this random and varied assembly of....Cool Junk!

one story Sad but True!

I was at an antiques fair talking to a medal dealer that I've know for ages, chap turns up and asks, "Do you buy coins mate?" Medal dealer, "I have done over the years, if you have them with you can I take a look?" a Large A4 Folder was plonked on a glass display cabinet with no consideration of the cabinet..... ok so MD open the first page and looks "ok!" turns page "ermmm" is this the same coin all the way through?" Chap says gleefully " Yes!!!" & I've another folder full of them!" MD says " Many thanks, not for me!"  now at this point Chap gets a little irate "Whats the matter? Ive collected all of these since it was 1977! don't you want to make an offer???"........ it seems hes touted it around all the coin dealers (x2) and now chanced his arm with everyone else stalled up who may be interested in a job lot of 1977 Silver Jubilee Nickle coin.

40 years on (I think it was 2017) the chap believe that these were worth a fortune,  I do understand why he was a bit miffed that they weren't worth anything after all the time and money he spent on them, I don't think his retirement plan had worked out as well as he had hoped,.............Sad but True.        

once again Stuart......Many thanks fella, rgds "H"

Not a Maundy fourpence unfortunately - just a regular fourpence.

I believe the Maundy fourpence had a different design at this point.

Not a hammered coin, so posted in the wrong forum (I only noticed because I generally mark all Hammered posts as ‘read’ as I have zero interest in them).
