A bunch of coins I have

Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

I recently came across some old coins I bought around 7 years ago, most of them with their presentation box. As am not a coin collector, I was wondering if I provided the pictures of these coins that an estimate on the price I should be looking for for each, or all of these would be? Or if you could direct me to someone/some site which could

Most of these coins are in mint condition as you will see from the images, << Email removed by Staff >> I will bookmark this page.

Sorry if this is the wrong forum

Regards,

Luke.

P.S. i've checked eBay, but obviously there are people out there who try to sell coins overpriced and such.

Those are a mix of British and British Dependancy commemoratives and proofs. I've no experience of Isle of Man or Australian issues, but judging from the rest of them, they probably wouldn't be very valuable. The 1977 Silver Jubilee cupro-nickel crown is worth a theoretical £1 but you'd never get that. The Kennedy half dollar contains some real silver so has a bit of intrinsic value. The 1951 crown usually retails for around £10. The 1973 proof 50p, around £3 retail.

The whole lot? Not sure really. Probably somewhere between £25 and £50 at auction, though as I say, I'm unfamiliar with some of those proofs. Don't retire just yet!

Hi Luke

Welcome to the forum.

Ebay will be the best place to get approximate values.

There doesn't seem to be anything of value but I'm not a collector of Aussie/IOM proofs.

If any are silver they will be worth bullion value at least.

These sort of coins are not for investment.Even the 1951 (cupro nickel)crown will only raise a few £.

A few (non serious collectors)who bought sovereigns (gold)a few years back have done well.Your coins are probably worth less than their issue price.

Enter stage right someone correcting me that some of these are silver plated 22 ct gold. :D

Well done Peck...you beat me to it.

The Kennedy half raised me £2.28 last week :D and how many 51 crowns do you want for £10?

However the 77 crown is legal tender at 25p...thats what I paid with my pocket money when they were issued. :)

Ah, well they have to be in the original cardboard case of issue, like our friend's here ;) Astonishing to think that the Millennium edition of Spink listed them at £20 per!

Thanks for the speedy replies guys, i'm aware most of them are of little/no value, and was just curious to see what i'd get for some of the more decent ones, a definite answer (not that your answers don't mean anything to me would be great as I don't really want to be a moron and try sell a coin that's worth about £1 at like £20 xD)

Thanks again guys

also would you think it's better to sell them individually on eBay (or any other sites) or as a whole lot? i'm not sure what they coins are made of... I'm pretty sure I used to but I got out of that after a year-ish :P

Start them all at 99p with £1 postage and see where you end up.You can't lose or gain much. B)

You will however have the hassle of getting paid and posting numerous packages.

An alternative would be a £75 BIN with best offer.

I'd go down Peter's £0.99 start with £1 P&P route initially... then anything that you've got left can be bundled together...
