New Member with British coins, any value to them?

granddad

I just sold a collection for a person and they had about 200 British coins that they just wanted to make disappear. I told them that I had no buyers for the British coins and was uninformed as to their value. The US part of their collection brought much more than they excepted, and when I tried to return the British coins they just gave them to me. Most are 1900-1919, with some later and a few 1800's, there are penny, half penny, half crown, 3pence, 6pence, farlings,shillings and others. Any advice on where I could find price lists would be appreciated.

Thank you,
Have a Great Day!

Krause has a 1900 to date catalog that's reasonably accurate for these coins at least in the higher grades.

Check out the world and ancient coin forum.

19th and 20th century (2 seperate volumes) Krause Standard Catalog of World Coins would be a good starting point. If you've got the coins arranged by denom and date it's just a matter of slogging thru the group.

a quick look thru the 20th century Krause: 1905 1/2 Crown - 166000 minted - FINE=$75, VERY FINE=$250, EXTREMELY FINE=$1200, ABOUT UNCIRCULATED=$2500

The Krause is the best idea. If you have a question about a specific coin (not the whole lot) try the world coin forum here at PCGS. Post a picture and they will ID it, grade it and price it in minutes. Very knowledgable folks.

Thank you for the advice. I am not interested in putting much time into these coins, I would rather pass them on to a forum member for my shipping plus whatever they felt was a fair price after they have looked at the coins. The forum members have been such a great help to me that this is the least I could do in return.

Thank you,
Have a Great Day!

the higher denominations like 3 & 6 pence, shilling and half crown were silver up to the 1940's.
