1927 G

Our British members could give you values for their side of the pond, but on this side, most of the ones you've listed can be found in bargain boxes for around a dollar each. So based on that, your collection is around $50-$75 IMO.

 

Most are worth under $1 or 50¢, but some that are worth more are as follows:

1d
1891 F ... $6
1908 AU ... $30
1931 AU ... $15
1936 BU ... $3
1938 BU ... $9 (only if true BU; if EF, about $2)
1940 Unc ... $27 (again, has to be true Unc)
1961 Unc ... $2

½d
1938 EF ... $1½
1943 EF ... $1½
1944 EF ... $1½
1957 BU ... $1½ (unless it's the 'calm sea' variety, $45)


Estimates are based on latest £ values, converted to $ at the approx rate of $1.50 = £1 (but this is just a rough guide).


Hope that helps!

 

Thank you for the info! What is the Clam Sea Variety?

 

The calm sea variety is where the wavy sea under the ship (Sir Francis Drake's The Golden Hind) is calmer than usual. Best to check by comparing it to ther GVI or EII ½d coins.
