Default Need Appraisal - Old Coins

Hi Folks, I am not a coin collector, however my Great Grand dad was (I
think). I just happened to hit his stash while removing old old stuff. I
have about 40-50 copper coins.

Mostly from late1800s to early 1900s. Most of these coins are from India
when it was under Britsh rule. My history is not all that good but the coins
seem to have british rulers on them (I think).

Do you think these coins would be of any value ? Should I explore their
worth, I am not a collector so if they are worth anything I would rather
sell them.


cheers
Haider

The answer is maybe. Most such coins do not have a huge value associated
with them, but some do. best way to find out is to identify them using the
standard catalog of world coins first and use their valuations as a guide to
whether they might be worth more than your average junkbox coin.
