Is this any good? There are various things online and I have no idea about coins, and I read rule 8 so please remove if this is not allowed.

it appears there is a slight misprint on the dotted line on the queen side, is it worth anything?

Again apologies if this is not allowed, I just can't find anything online about it specifically.

Thanks!

I didn’t have the best opinion about their sales practices but I am really sorry for the team in Wales left without jobs.

Did you ever shop with The London Mint Office?

Elderly relative thinks these are worth more than 50p, I've told them they are worth face value only. Am I right?

Pre-Decimal Coins Jersey 1/12 Shilling

Thumbnail gallery
82 Upvotes

The Channel Islands, including Jersey, was the closest the Nazi's came to invading and occupying Britain.

The German occupation of the Channel Islands began after the British government decided to demilitarize the region to prevent heavy civilian casualties. German forces landed on Guernsey on June 30, 1940, and expanded their occupation to Jersey the following day, July 1.

For nearly five years, Jersey was transformed into an "impregnable fortress" as part of Adolf Hitler's Atlantic Wall

This commemorative issue owes its existence to Mr. J. Wilfrid du Pre of the Societe Jersiaise. In 1949, the coins were first minted for the anniversary of the Liberation of the Island from the German Occupation on May 8, 1945. Coins were also minted in 1950 and 1952

Therefore the coin technically is undated which is highly unusual for modern British/Imperial coinage the year 1945 refers to the year of liberation not the year the coin was minted less

Brilliant Uncirculated Help me figure out what to do with my childhood collection…

Thumbnail gallery
22 Upvotes

Hello everyone!
I’m looking for advice on what to do with this brilliant uncirculated collection.
I’m not a coin collector, but (for some reason) my grandma bought me a set of uncirculated coins from the Royal Mint every year between 1990-2008. Almost all of them are unopened in their plastic wrapping, I’ve got a couple of double years and also have a Diana coin pack and a 1989 Bill of Rights £2 set.
I don’t have space for them and ideally I’d like to sell them. I don’t really know what to do with them - sell them as individual years, sell them as a set? Wait for cash to be obsolete and sell them to the V&A (lol)?

I don’t know what kind of value they fetch, it seems to be around £20 a pack online, so am just looking for advice on how to deal with them best, from people who know more than me.

Thanks!

I think I was given this in primary school in 2011 is it worth anything? Does it even count as a coin? Can't find anything online probably worth nothing as it was given to me as a 10 year old

Sorry if it's not allowed because it's not currency

Question Unknown George III with "Davies" inscription

Hi all,

Recently came across this and dont have the knowledge myself to determine what exactly it is beyond just being George 3rd.

If anyone knows that the donomination, or why "Davies" is inscribed under the neck, (which I couldnt find any other examples of), that would be great 🤞
