What kind of coins do you have to sell? British coins or world coins? How old are they? What condition are they in? If you could put up some scans on my own favourite forum, www.worldofcoins.eu, I'm sure the members would be able to give you some advice. |

Silver coins in the 1920-1946 date range are 50% silver. There is one troy ounce per 11 shillings. From 1947 on, the silver coins are cupronickel. With the exception of a few key dates, only those coins which are either in Uncirculated (no wear) or Extremely Fine (very slight wear) are likely to be worth much of a premium. Tony Clayton has a very good price list on the web. http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/values/index.html My experience is that with most common early 20th century coins, catalogues tend to be optimistic about the premium people are willing to pay for coins below EF condition, so if a coin is listed for 1 pound in VF and 8 pounds in EF, it may actually be easier to find a buyer for the EF coin. This means that valuing your coin requires that you teach yourself something about coin grading. EF in British grading is a pretty strict grade which allows only a bit of wear to the highest points in the design. Do not attempt to clean or shine up any coins. It won't improve them, and may kill quite a bit of the value and interest that a coin collector would have in an unmessed with coin. Peter. -- |

If you want to sell your collection of old coins, you should display them on the forum and regard to How much do they cost? I'm sure that many people are interested in the information.
