    This past Sunday I was gifted 30 foreigns ("I don't need them, they're just sitting in a dresser drawer"). Upon inspection and sorting this week I discovered they were all specimens from the United Kingdom & England. The dates ranged from 1921 to 1980.
    Happy to add any new "freebies" to the hoard.:happy:

    The 30 coins were sorted by denomination into the following:
    Half Crown = 2 Shilling = 8
    6 Pence = 2
    3 Pence = 2
    Penny = 3
    Half Penny = 2
    50 New Pence = 3
    10 New Pence = 3
    5 New Pence = 5

    I did identify 3 that had silver content:

    Nice gifts! Just to be "that guy", a half crown is 2.5 shillings.
    Two shillings would be a florin.
    The half crowns (R column) are a little bigger.
