What do they weigh? What is the fineness of the gold? Do they have any numismatic value above their gold bullion value? What country are they from? What reign? What variety?Without answers to all of those questions any estimate of value would be pure guesswork.
Assuming that the other 10% is the most likely candidate - copper - that works out to: 72g of gold x 2.315 oz. (troy) x $664.05 = Gold bullion value $1,537.18 36g of silver X 2.315 oz. (troy) x $13.44 = Silver bullion value $15.56 12g of copper x .0265 lb. (av.) x $3.06 = Copper metal value $.08 The melt value ~$1,553, less a discount for separating dissimilar metal isn't too bad, but the numismatic value is really nice! :thumb:
Drusus,to melt those down would be an abomination.Ancient British coins are always very popular,especially in England. Here's a link to the website of Chris Rudd,who deals only in Ancient British coins; www.celticcoins.com . Aidan.
The real question is, are they REALLY genuine. Even from the ancient times, counterfeit coins are made and some are so good that some experts are perplexied over how gold plated were done in the past, given the crude technology that they had. I have no clue about such coins as I don't collect those but indeed if they are genuine, that's a really nice find.
Wow, very nice coins. :thumb: The others I think have pretty much answered your question. Awesome find! Phoenix
