Title: Coin Collecting
Post by: sea.mariner on March 24, 2009, 08:33:36 am

I have just been handed a small box of old pennies and old half pennies some dating back to 1870's. I was wondering if anyone on here collects coins so when I type a list out with there dates and info etc maybe they could tell me their value (if they still have any?). Regards, Dan.

If anyone finds a 1933 penny keep very quiet about it and enter it for the next coin auction.  Ony about 3 minted and one still missing and reckoned to be worth thousands.  :-)) ;) :-)

There were some pennies minted in 1938 ( I think) with Edward VII or VII, anyway, the Prince of Wales who went of with Mrs Simpson. Him, well they were a short prooving run. Some of them are out there somewhere, worth a Fortune as well........................
