Hello Tony and welcome.

The crucial issue here is the condition of these coins, only those with no apparent wear and ideally some remaining mint lustre will have any real value, and then only a few pounds, with earlier ones faring better than later. Any that are polished, damaged or worn from circulation are worth only a few pence each. For those, selling as a bulk lot on Ebay would be the best bet. Post pics of any higher condition coins you might have, for a better opinion.

While interesting, the uniface halfpenny would only have value if it could be shown to have left the mint in that state, ie not been flattened later. You would need a micrometer thickness measurement and weight to fractions of a gram to determine the liklihood of a strike on a full blank. It is more likely to have been flattened later.

None of the dates you list are given a value in less than very fine condition in the Spink catalogue, so I suggest that you familiarise yourself with UK coin grading parameters on the net, and post a group photo of better ones pre 1935. But good luck, 600 is a lot of coins!

Hi Tony, these are very typical low-grade coins, which would be worth very little unless there were some rare varieties in there, which would be highly unlikely to be honest!

Is there any chance to take something for the coins?

Maybe a store or a buyer around Croydon?

thank you.

The postage will out weigh the coins value for ebay.

A dealer wouldn't touch them.

Maybe a card in your local news agents window.

I would expect much over £10.

You could do a 'collection in person only' auction or BIN (Buy It Now) on eBay, it's free to list. Might suit a new collector who is happy to sort through hundreds of coins?
