Well we need to know a few things---dates and grades---that will be the only way we can even guess at a value. Speedy
Face value (all decimal coins) about £15.00 (~$28.54) if the mix is half and half. A little more or less if one denomination prevails. Sorry friend, that's just too little information on which to base any other opinion, since the vast majority of those dates are listed in Krause at well under $1 each in uncirculated condition.
Well they are easily worth face value but something THAT modern will only get you face value guaranteed. You might as well deposit it to a British bank else if you are living overseas, well... you can give them away!
Modern circulating coins with mintages in the multi-millions simply have no collector value above their face unless they are in ultra-high grades, encapsulated as such by a first-tier third party grader. Just accumulating a lot of them does not add to their value.
Well like you said they are dated from the 1990's to the 2000's and as far as I know none of these are rare and I would say that they are pretty easy to find. Speedy
More Questions? jackmcrobert: Are these copper pennies or silver pence? Are any of them proof? What are their grade/s? Are they common or scarce/rare? Have they been stored all piled together in a drawer or jar or some other container? Clinker
copper coins They are copper coins from england, im not an experienced coin collector, what do u mean by grades
w What I really want to know though is whether sell 1000 coppers for more than it's £15 original value.
The grade is another way of saying what the condition of the coin is. In other words, if the coin has been in circulation and has any wear on it. The more wear - the less the value. But with modern coins, even if they are in uncirculated condition most of the time they are only worth face value. Or - 1 penny is worth 1 penny.
Age has little to do with it. Common coins typically stay common for many, many years. Yeah, they might increase in value, some - but not much. For example there are lots of wheats cents out there - they sell for 2 or cents each. Is it worth keeping something for 50 years to double your money ? Put the same amount of money in the bank for the same time period - you'll make more.
Okay, everyone has been assuming that you were talking about all copper/bronze coins. Your latest post made me look in Krause to see the values of 50-60 year old 1d and 2d coppers in order to make some guesses on appreciation over that period of time. Lo and behold, I discovered that there haven't been any copper/bronze 2d coins since 1797, and there have never been copper/bronze 2p (decimal) coins.. So, my friend, if you want an intelligent response to your initial question you absolutesly must tell us what you have. How many copper/bronze 1 penny coins do you have? What is the oldest date you have in that group? What is the most recent date you have in that group? How many silver 1 penny coins do you have? What is the oldest date you have in that group? What is the most recent date you have in that group? How many silver 2 penny coins do you have? What is the oldest date you have in that group? What is the most recent date you have in that group? Feel free to estimate the quantities if you aren't willing to expend the effort to actually count them.:kewl: Please turn on Private Messaging.
i think he wants to know if you could melt them down ...is the copper worth more than face value i personnally dont know
