[Quantum State]

Any coin experts tell me what it is ?

[geeks]

It's a penny from 1936

[Sporky]

It could be worth over a pound now!

To be fair that's beating inflation over the same period.

Its a slightly collectible 1936 penny, one of 154,296,000. The condition may speak to the value, as Im not sure that the barnfind thinking has pervaded numismatics.

[Vsix and Vtec]

George V 1 pence coin, 1936 as stated both above by the previous poster, and on the coin itself. Not rare, sorry, even near mint examples go for something like £1.50, so im afraid yours is going to be a fair bit less.

I think you're getting up towards Maserati money, at least.

If only it were three years older!

A 1933 penny is worth a mint

(Only a very few (penny numbers!) were minted).

[Actual]

After dealing with the deaths of relatives I have some tins of maybe 200 old coins including 1/4d farthing, 1/2d halfpenny, 1/d penny (lots), 3d thruppenny bit, 6d tanner/sixpence , 12d shilling, 30d half crown (2/6), 24d florin.

I tried using web sites to look up values but it is so tedious especially as certain pennies are worth a fortune but only if the numbers for the date are a teeny teeny bit out of line or the pimple on the monarch's nose is missing.

Even if a coin has value the effort to sell on sites like eBay are too much for me.

I guess they will become my heir's problem at some point.

My parents had a modest collection of "collectable" coins. In those little boxes. My brother kept a couple, I kept one from my birth year, the others I looked up, then went to a local coin shop. They made a sensible cash offer (I think it was about 75% of what I might have made if I'd sold them all at healthy prices) and away we went.
