Hi, can anyone help me grade these Half Crowns and give me an idea of value if any please? thanks

Half Crowns

Unless I am not looking at it right I can only see a 1922 half crown in Fair condition, value around a fiver. Because of its grade, the coin has no numismatic value above its metal content.

There are more coins there Red, with dates from 1918 up to Eliz II (1962). But it's not my area so I wouldn't want to guess at values I'm afraid.

Oh, and your 'Unidentified' sweetcheeks? I reckon it's a contemporary (ie made during the early 1800s) counterfeit of a George II shilling. Made of brass and not uncommon, but an interesting piece of numismatic history.

Half Crowns

The best one there is the 1915, which is getting on towards VF grade and worth somewhere south of a tenner. (Solid silver). But there's a lot of 1915s in good condition around.

Most of the rest are worth no more than their silver value I'm afraid - they would grade from Fair to Fine (50% silver). The 1948 and 1962 would have very little value. The '62 I'd grade in EF, the '48 in VF+ but probably cleaned.

My recollection is that silver content of even the 0.500 issues is about o.2 oz Ag.....x 46.00 $/oz. which I think translates into about L6 of bullion....
