Got nearly 400 old (1862 being the oldest penny) British coins. Pennies, halfpennies, florins, half crowns, shillings etc etc etc.
Any (polite) suggestions?? Worth anything? Put them back where I found them?
Not much help....but some of your pennies if black/blackened will have a high bronze content and be worth a pretty penny 😀
Maybe I'll forge my own Olympic medal! As I listen to "Blackened" which I have now put on - thanks for the playlist prompt 😉
I've tweeted a guy who's wife will know the answer.
Very interesting. I have found a box full of such coins in our garage going back to early 1900s. Could you keep me informed about any dates worth looking for please.
If I remember rightly very few are wort much. I'll try and find the site he mentioned one time, might the Royal Mint I think.
The wife suggest weigh any precious metals in everything else to a charity shop weigh in for scrap or use as baking beans.
