Unfortuneately NOT Mine

[Val Beechey]

Thought I'd share some of these with you before they go back to their owner. I was presented with a big biscuit tin full and asked if I could have a look through and advise on values before they were taken to a dealer.
These are some of the silvers. The majority are 1900's commemorative Crowns which are worth very little.(Not in pic.)  A couple of surprises though.
Unbelievable but a couple of coppers are worth more than some of the silvers.
Think they'll have to prize the hammered out of my hand when they come to pick them up    Good job they left the gold coins at home

Nice selection there.

As an active coin person, I quite often get asked to look at people's collections / things they got from their (grand)parents and usually it is later pre-decimal, so it's nice to see a bit of a range there.

As there are (seemingly) fewer and fewer collectors - at least not young ones - I've been trying to get my son interested - so he's had quite a few hammered from me and I have caught him pinching all the coins with his name (Alex, so a mix of Scottish, Greek and Roman) from my coin cabinet, as as he says they have his name on them......
