Old Coins - Advice Please
14 Answers
Am posting on CB as more people will see it and hopefully give more advice.
After clearing out an elderly relative's house we have found bags and bags of old pre-decimal coins mainly half pennies and threepenny bits, but none of them are rare years so not worth anything to collectors. They fill several carrier bag size bags - we have lugged them around to valuation days/auctions (they are so heavy to carry) but nobody wants to know. They are mostly bagged up into £5 or £1 bank bags.
Have any ABers had this experience before? I have heard we can get scrap value for them but where do we start to get rid of them please? Any advice would be very welcome as they are cluttering up my house! Thanks.

I just had a quick glance at my "A Guide Book Of English Coins", and it's not the latest edition so prices may have gone up (or down). Anyway, some Victorian pennies and half-pennies were fetching good collectors' prices. Even some 1918, 1919, 1950, and 1951 pennies also. Get yourself a guide and spend a few hours looking at them...At the same time, imagine all the history and people that they have been through.
