For the modern Irish collectors: there is an Ebay seller in Ireland, Gismo-25, who has a number of higher valued raw Irish Free State on offer now. Some of them look very nice (a 1934 half crown, for example), but others seem to me to be heavily polished. I would value anyone's opinions on these coins. Here is something of a link to his Ebay page:

I don’t see them listed
Latin American Collection
The Leprechauns took them.
The Mysterious Egyptian Magic Coin
Coins in Movies
Coins on Television
No leprechauns here, sadly...
My linking skills still need a bit of work. Here is the link to the 1934 half crown, which does look pretty good.

You can then look at See Other Items to see the others. Just for sake of comparison, here's a link to one of the apparently polished coins:

The 1934 looks 62-63, the 1940 is a no grade in my opinion
Latin American Collection
The 40 looks cleaned to me, also way to many dings and nicks are detracting. No way that 34 is worth big money. Look them up at en.ucoin.net IMHO. Peace Roy

The '34 looks to be MS63, and properly dipped at sometime (these are always tarnished a bit. The '40 has been polished.
