I have found some predecimal currency coins

[Guest Mieke]

Hi , I have come across across about 30 odd pre decimal coins. How can I find out their worth. The oldest is a 1895 Half Crown and various penny's dating from 1917 to 1952 Also Half penny's from 1920 on. Can some-one advise me. Thank you in anticipation, Mieke

Do you have a 1952 penny!? If so, could you post a picture please?

[Coppers 58]

Jon...I hope you are not being overly optimistic

I doubt if it is genuine if he has one!

Why what's special about a 1952 penny?

[Half Penny Jon 0]

Its unique.

as well as the 1954 penny

I knew about the 1954 penny. The 1952 had escaped my notice.

1953 TB is also unique.

The 1952 penny has a kangaroo on one side and the head of King Georg1V on the reverse. I feel as if you were all having some fun with me. I take it that a British 1952 penny is very rare but I gather what I have is an Australian penny. How do I tell the differance between the British coins and the Australian ones?

Yes, it is an australian penny-we weren't having fun with you honest.

[Master Jmd 80]

i thought that all clonial british coinage had the country's name on it...i must be wrong...if it has an austrailian animal on it then it is from austrailia...

no they were having fun at my expense, they know i don't know much about bronze/copper so they show me up frequently.

[Sylvester 15]

In a way I'm shocked because it means Sylvester is now the main contributor, and therefore sadder than me ;-)

But I'm also pleased, because it proves that the forum has grown beyond just my silly points of views and has become well and truly shaped by its members.

But i have style with that sadness so therefore i'll get away with it!

Your spelling and puntuation is certainly of a very acceptable and clear standard (mostly!) which is more than can be said for some contributors!

I'm no English professor, but that seems to get more and more important to me for some reason.

Sometimes i get myself muddled up a bit. Hopefully though my spelling and Grammar should be acceptable for the most part. I do afterall have a A-Level in English Language.

Unfortunately i don't have an A-Level in typing and thus i often miss letters out or put extra letters where they should not be.
