selling big lot of coins

[morpheus1666 0]

I got a huge coing lot cause i started my coin collection recently(i wanted to collect just decimal coins but o found myself going beyond that line). the thing is that i have several coins to sell and i dont want to do it one by one so i was hoping to get ome advice of how to sell them at once.

i organized them more or less so this is the list of most of them:

1971 (number of coins)half penny coins

bulk lot of coins 71 pounds face value all of them previous 10p and 5p bigger size

542 uk penny coins

18 coins 1905-1910

116 coins 1911-1920

110 coins 1921-1930

298 coins 1931-1940

8 half pennies 1941-1950

193 pennies 1941-1950

254 shillings 1947-1950

4 sixpences 1947-1950

63 florins 1947-1950

104 threepences 1941-1945

apart from this a couple more containers (like 400 or more coins) from 60´s i think.

anybody knows how can i sell them and they are heavy so i dont want to visit any coin dealer and be told they dont worth a quid and carry them back xD

thanks in advance for reading

have you thought about a scrap metal dealer?

hi declan, was that ironic or a real advice?

The advice was that they are not worth anything

[Chris Perkins 228]

The coppers probably are scrap copper in normal used condition. The brass threepences will also be scrap in used condition (apart from 1946 and 1949).

The florins and shillings are technically worth face value (in normal used condition, which I bet they are) so the best you can do with those is take them to your bank and try to get them to credit your account with them (florins for 10p, shillings 5p). I have success at Natwest and have also managed it in the past at Barclays.

And at the same time you can cash in the large 5p and 10p coins and the decimal halfpennies (although the scrap value for those is actually more than half pee each).

Sorry Morpheus! No irony intended, honestly, but the world is so awash with that sort of thing, you'd be doing everyone a favour by getting them into the melting pot...really.

Good advice from Chris and Declan is just being honest.

If the language used in this post is representative of current usage then there are big problems with the school system. Never mind about the coins!

The above comment refers to the initial post of course.

His second post was almost word perfect!

Seriously though Morpheus (if you're still reading these posts), the advice given is correct unless amongst your Kgs you have some coins that are close to 'as they left the Mint'

hi guys thanks to all for your comments. i will cosider to contact somebody to sell it as scrap metal.

ozjohn i bet a million pounds that you sound same fuynny speaking my mother tongue so please don´t judge without information. anyway i take it like i need to improve my english much more than i thouht xD.

i purchased a coin guide to be more accurate checking the coins so probably the lot don´t worth a quid. i will take the coins with actual face value somewhere cause not in the bank or post office they want to change them.

thanks fellows!! i will be around

Morpheus.

No need to apologise. If English is a second language to you then well done. The content of your posts will be easily understood by anyone reading them here.

As you point out, very few members would probably be able to make themselves as clear in a language other than English.

Continue posting. The forum is a very friendly place .

In which case, Morpheus, you have done exceedingly well, as I would never have guessed that English wasn't your first language, rather that you were an Englishman with a few literary hitches!

Well done, do stay onboard!

seconded. Don't be disheartened. Just learn what junk is, and don't buy any more!
