YeOldeCollector Posted January 28, 2013 Report Share Posted January 28, 2013 Photographs are key here as we will not have an accurate idea of grade otherwise. With regard to the pre-1947 sixpences and halfcrowns they will most likely be worth around their melt value depending upon their condition. Please do post some images and we should be able to point you in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YeOldeCollector Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 The first appears to be an 1806 halfpenny and worth a quid or two. The second appears to be an 1825 halfpenny and worth about £30, perhaps. The third I am not familiar with and shall leave that to someone more knowledgeable about ancients. The fourth looks like an 1887 sixpence and worth about £8. These denominations are all dependent upon their diameters and are only estimates in my opinion.

YeOldeCollector Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 thank you for you reply. has the coin got any value? A simple search on Google or eBay could tell you. But here's a link, anyway, to a sold one in similar condition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
