Dear Carol,

it couldn't be simpler.....

Obviously the value depends on the conditions of the individual coins. You'll find that if they are not within the collectable grades the silver ones will be worth bullion value and the bronze ones won't be worth that much at all.

Are there too many to send in the post?

If not, you are welcome to send them to me for an offer, but you really shouldn't expect a Kings ransom for modern coins like that.

Alternatively you can do a little research yourself, and perhaps start with this book:

I always pay fiar prices for coins, but like to warn people that general collections of circulated coins like that are rarely worth very much.

Thanks,

Thanks for your super quick reply. If you could advise me what are more

sought after, I will see if I have them and arrange to send them to you.I have 1994 to 1960 one shillings,1948 to 1963 two shillings,1947 to 1966 halfcrowns,1922 to 1967 sixpence,1920 florins and a 1945 farthing. I was thinking about 10-20ish coins to start with.

Carol,

To be honest, none of those are sought after at all unless in as near mint condition as possible. The silver coins older than 1947 contain real silver so have a slightly higher value for bullion content.

So the threepences you first mentioned and the 1920 Florins, 1922 Sixpence sound the best, and will be worth a small amount (and I mean small! Unless in near mint condition)

Thankyou,

Thanks for your help,but it sounds like it would cost more in postage than they are worth....pity.

[Chris Perkins 228]

Well that is often the case I'm afraid.

If you're sure they are all circulated and well worn, you may as well put them in a charity box.

Thanks Chris,

They are all in v.f or better condition .I will try closer to home again,it's been nice talking to you.

The 1920 florins and pre 1920 threepences are really VF? I'd like to see pictures if they are.
