You will really need to post photographs and for the first two (and K) a diameter as two types of coin were made to the same design. Not only that, but condition is everything, plus there are 3 types of 1919 penny. C, D & E are commenorative medals and coin K doesn't fit anything I know - could it be 1806?

The 1st 2 i suspect are Geo III Halfcrowns. Couple of rarities in that year. Maybe post some pictures of those, i like my Halfcrowns, hate shillings

C, D & E are commenorative medals

No good (probably your camera can't get close enough for a sharp focus?). Take a scan of both sides of your coins and post those instead.

Thats best i can do on phone. Hope thats a little better

Right, let's see what we can pick out of that:

Coin A is a 'Bull Head' halfcrown. Condition? Phew... erm... probably around VF but the quality of photos is such that this really is a stab in the dark. Cash-in value, maybe £20-£30.

Coin B is a 'Small Head' halfcrown, produced later in the year, not in such good condition as A, say £12.

Coins I & J are respectively a shilling (larger one) and a sixpence from Queen Victoria's Jubilee Year. This is a very common year and a lot have survived. I am really struggling to grade them on what I can see, but probably not much more than £5 for the two.

The other sixpences, value almost zip although the George V one has a silver content and therefore a small scrap value.

Coin K could be a 1/4d, 1/2d or 1d from 1806-7. No idea of condition based on the photo, but I think probably a 1/4d on what I can see. Value probably negligible especially since you struggled to read the date!

I know nothing of medals unfortunately.

Hope this helps a bit.

I'd concur with nearly all of that - my only difference is that I can see lots of detail on that Bull Head halfcrown and would (given a decent picture) possibly grade it a bit better than VF and give it a value of say £40 - £50?

Thank you for your guide prices sorry i dont know what VF means. My next question to you is where would be the best place to sell these things? If any one is into pottery ( plates cups ornaments etc) i have 3 big boxes off them as well. all off these things are from the wifes great great grandma

Also if you had to put a price on the lot what would you say? Also if there is any one on here intrested in the coins/ medals let me know as the club can have first refusals on any off it... only fair really,

Hi Mike, VF relates to the grade Very Fine, also if you are looking to sell the coins etc there is a section in the forum called Items for sale, maybe you could put the ones you wanted to sell in there and perhaps try and make some better quality pictures (if possible) of the items you wanted to sell. I would be interested to see a better picture of the Geo III halfcrown bullhead as i do like these coins.

Hope that helps.
