thanks charles i will try to gogle now
🙂

My Nanna has a tin full of pennies including a shilling, half pennies and a Third penny. The oldest date is 1911 but there are so many different dates how can I find out there value?

Any info would be great thanks!

I was going through my grandfathers coins as he got me started on this he’s no longer with us But I came across a 1934 Brass Georgivs V D.C. Britt. On the other side it’s got a weird tinge of blue depends on the angle of light you hold it under. Anyway it reads commonwealth of Australia One Penny The thing I’ve never seen is its got a clamp type device that protects the coins edge made of the same material.

Can anyone give me an idea what it is that I actually posses.

I found half penny copper (1954) coin Australia while we renovating our house. Front coin (say Elizabeth and back coin Half Penny Australia) I wondering how much it worth for me to sell it please.

Thanks

most of the coins you are asking about is worth its bullion value i.e its weight in copper ( a few cents ) even if the coin looks the same, is one year off from a coin you see is worth $100K – it’s still most probably worth next to nothing – unless of course it is great condition. For those of you new to collecting, you would not be able to determine what “great condition” is. It is very subjective and even dealers can disagree on a coin’s condition.

a coin’s value is determined by its rarity and availability, condition and probably most importantly, its demand.

so, unfortunately for most of you who have found an old coin the looks nearly 100 years old – it is probably not worth much. to put it into perspective, you get roman coins that are 2000 years old for about $10.

The best analogy i can use to explain why a coin the looks very similar to another that is worth a lot of money is….

imagine you have a winning lottery ticket worth $1 million and another lottery ticket that looks the same and is one number off…. get it? 😀 all the best
