Tiercel 6,986 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 (edited) Saturday morning I bought a load of old coins in a basket for a fiver. Among the coins were £17.50 in old large 50p pieces, a 1797 britannia penny, a 1734 george ll half penny, 2 george lll halfpennys, 5 half crowns that went for scrap 925 silver, a gothic florin, a couple of normal florins, 3 silver threepenny bits and a groat (silver 4 penny piece) a nice little earner. When I took the old 50's into the bank they told me you can even exchange pre decimal coins as long as you make the value up to a pound. Not a bad little earner.
