coin values help please

Well you've sold them.

You must get the book on grading.I enlarged the coins and they are all from circulation and less than F.

If you're near Birmingham for Format coins you should go to the Midland coin fair.A few members have tables there.Have a good look around (the dealers won't bite)

My 1918KN and like Peck's 1930 halfcrown, nice but not in top grade

any ideas on prices for the 1930 half crowns?

It's most likely to be in average condition, but the range of values would go from around bullion value in Fair (£2?) up to several hundred £ in Mint condition.

Here's mine. Looks impressive huh? Actually, it isn't even EF - that's how critical grading is, and how important to get right.

thats a nice coin, i just keep buying crap off ebay it seems, im trying to offload my 15 kn pennies on there at the moment

Ebay is OK but get some good dealers and use them.

If you went to a fair you could pick up most of the bargain basement items from dealers 50p tins...look in the £4 tins and there are £10 ebay coins

Yes, that was my experience too. Stephen Lockett used to dump some quite good 'lot bulk' coins in his trays, but you had to sort them from the chaff. It was well worth it and such coins used to make up a decent proportion of my list.

thats a good idea, i go to format coins in birmingham alot but all his stock is hidden so i dont know what to ask for

I think Gary has more or less given up on British coins, mainly due to Chinese fakes he told me. He concentrates on foreign coins now, but if you're in there just ask what he's got in your budget and he will pull out any drawers or cases - don't get your hopes up though; his last list had very little British on it.

That IS nice. I don't have a good KN at all. The 19 in really GF but that's it. I've spent years searching for a really GVF or NEF but the prices are silly now and the moment has gone.

Equally hard to find the 1918/9 Heatons with full shield details now

Exactly. You don't even need hundreds - you could still have a great day out. Look out for the higher priced "trays", e.g. £5 or more - they can have some real bargains in if you devote the time to look through them.

Similar grade to mine. I must think about dealing with the staining which masks a reasonable coin.
