Hi all,

Every week I conduct training classes, and is we do out introductions casually mention that I coin collect. This has several times resulted in poeple bringing me in coins that were just laying around the house. Here are the latest, any thoughts?

Thanks for any help you can give, I can tell a couple of the years, I was more interested in knowing history and worth if any...

Thanks in advance!
 

C'mon Kevo, stop teasing ....... what dates and which ones? :wink:

All Coins are clearly British

First one is either 1700 or 1800
Second is either 1738 or 1748
Third is a 1796 George III farthing
Fourth is a no dat George II

Thanks Kevo,
I thought I saw Britannia and I have no idea otherwise.
They are fascinating treasures.

All are common & low grade, so of course low value.

#1 1700 William III British (Halfpenny if the same size as #2, Farthing if about the same size as #3)

#2 1748? George II British Halfpenny

#3 1799 George III British Farthing

#4 17_7? George II British Halfpenny

Thanks Iron Patch!

They may not be worth a ton, but they sure look cool in my collection. And heck, they were free!
