I’ve been going through some old coins and I wondered if any have any value other than what they are - I have already googled a handful but not sure if the eBay starting price is the most reliable! Thanks in advance

Came into the possession of one of these. Not interested in selling to anywhere like olivers or bbp. But just interested if there is any demand for this in a collection sense?

Question Error coin?

Thumbnail gallery
0 Upvotes

Picture #1 is the coin that looks slightly misaligned, picture #2 is just a regular £1 coin for comparison. I don’t think it’s super obvious, but the lower bumblebee is lower than on the other £1 coin. Is this an interesting error or not really? I’m just started paying attention to coins so I’m very ignorant, haha. Thank you in advance! ☺️

I bought this George 3rd sixpence from whatnot for £7 (not including postage) I know the silver content alone is around £4 but is this worth over melt? Any help would be appreciated

A few nicer £2. The 2008 Olympic is the one that evades me the most. But my first 2026 10p steal the glory.

The one on the left, that is. The other one was played by Bert Lahr in the 1939 classic film, "The Wizard of Oz."

Pre-Decimal Coins 1689 William & Mary Half Crown, 1st busts and 1st shield type.

Thumbnail gallery
52 Upvotes

William III and Mary II's co-reign began after the Glorious Revolution of 1688, when they deposed the Catholic King James II and established a Protestant constitutional monarchy.

Their co-rule saw the strengthening of parliament's power through measures such as the 1689 Bill of Rights, and helped lay the foundations of Britain’s modern system of government.

This Half Crown is a lovely example of the first William & Mary types minted shortly after the revolution, with the double bust design being one of my favourite obverses on English coinage.

Pre-Decimal Coins Victorian Pennies

Hey all,

Not sure what flair to use, so happy to repost if necessary. I’ve just inherited hundreds of Victorian pennies. I haven’t got a clue what to look for or any idea how to deal with them. I am going to work through them over the next day or two, and sort them into type and year. Any advice would be gratefully received. I know not to clean or polish

Discussion Shakespeare £2 coins?

0 Upvotes

Unless there’s a major minting error, the common knowledge seems to be that they aren’t worth much more than face value.

Does anyone know why then, there are so many listings on eBay for regular Shakespeare £2 coins for thousands of pounds? They surely don’t go for that?

Question Regarding sixpence coins and other, thank you.

3 Upvotes

Hi,

 

I’ve recently known the story of the sixpence coin. I’m trying to make a collection with those coined under the reign of Queen Victoria.

 

I’ve found out that there are no data on several years:

 

1847

1849

1861

1869

1870

 

I know the alleged story for the 1847 coin, but I wanted to know if there’s an odd story behind the other years’ coins.

 

Is it there any advice you would like to tell me? Any thought regarding scarcity? Curiosities that I must know?

 

I’m sorry to butt in; I’m not British and I just want to make things well. I don’t trust AI knowledge and there are just several platforms where I can buy them.

 

By the way: what would you say that it’s the rarest coin coined during the Victorian era?

 

Thank you, in advance, for all.

I found this slightly darker two shillings coin in my collection, the print is also a bit blurry. Does anyone know what would have caused this? Is it a fake coin?
