    I have a small collection of Southern Rhodesia coins including 18 silver pennies (with the hole in the centre) dating from 1934 to 1942, and two silver half pennies (also with hole in the centre) dated 1936. Does anyone have any idea how much these might be worth ?

    Thank you daggarjon ! that helps me a lot to understand the rough value ....just one further question : what do the categories F VF XF Unc and BU stand for ? (I presume they refer to the condition of the coins ?)

    F - Fine
    VF - Very Fine
    XF - Extra Fine
    Unc - Uncirculated
    BU - Brilliant Unc.

    Yep, they all stand for differing grades for the coin. Others you may come across:
    P - Poor
    AG - About Good
    G - Good
    VG - Very Good

    Hi, I have a coin from Southern Rhodesia, it is one silver penny dated 1939 and has on the back George VI King Emperor with a hole in the middle. I couldn't quite make out all of the above, would you be able to tell me how much this is worth? It has been lying in the sand by the Zambezi River for many years.

    Many thanks
