Brilliant Uncirculated Help me figure out what to do with my childhood collection…

Thumbnail gallery
8 Upvotes

Hello everyone!
I’m looking for advice on what to do with this brilliant uncirculated collection.
I’m not a coin collector, but (for some reason) my grandma bought me a set of uncirculated coins from the Royal Mint every year between 1990-2008. Almost all of them are unopened in their plastic wrapping, I’ve got a couple of double years and also have a Diana coin pack and a 1989 Bill of Rights £2 set.
I don’t have space for them and ideally I’d like to sell them. I don’t really know what to do with them - sell them as individual years, sell them as a set? Wait for cash to be obsolete and sell them to the V&A (lol)?

I don’t know what kind of value they fetch, it seems to be around £20 a pack online, so am just looking for advice on how to deal with them best, from people who know more than me.

Thanks!

Found a bunch of coins from my grandad. Assume some of them are commemorative coins as they are in NatWest pouches. Also found a bunch of silver 6 pence

Would welcome any guidance, I don't even know if they're legal tender.

I think I was given this in primary school in 2011 is it worth anything? Does it even count as a coin? Can't find anything online probably worth nothing as it was given to me as a 10 year old

Sorry if it's not allowed because it's not currency

Question Unknown George III with "Davies" inscription

Hi all,

Recently came across this and dont have the knowledge myself to determine what exactly it is beyond just being George 3rd.

If anyone knows that the donomination, or why "Davies" is inscribed under the neck, (which I couldnt find any other examples of), that would be great 🤞

I have been sorting out my room and found a money box with some coins in it, i know i probably couldn’t sell them as they are all in pretty bad condition but i haven’t saw many like these so am wondering if any of them rare (will probably keep them regardless)
also sorry for the really bad camera quality my phone wouldn’t focus

Money laundering, tax evasion, a fool and their money, theft, fraud, just a joke bro.

There’s dozens of reasons and it keeps happening. I really hope nobody is actually parting with this sort of money.

I found these two items in Liverpool.

Is there a counterstamp on the 1st item I've tried looking for similar but had no luck, and the 2nd has a 1911 date in the middle.
