Post your coins here if you like. These were a recent buy and I have no idea if they are worth anything so please pipe up if you see something special. There are 108 coins in total so posting bit by bit.

I will start with my English coins...

I have a book for British coins but it's about 40 years old, it's probably worth more than the coins themselves. It's still got the price on it, 25 shillings.  :24:

I'd love to see your coins.

Whaaar! Treasure tin!

I had a closer look at those scribbly coins and they are Egyptian (the sphinx on the front of two of them might also be a giveaway). Number 29) 5 Piastres, 1950's, Egypt, is making ?5 on ebay, woo!

Number 11) United Arab Emirates is ?3.80 - ?6 on ebay.

I have a misfit USA (1960) penny here.  Appears to have been made that way -- with a flaw

Crikey, that's a serious collection you have there Rob! I have some too - but no photos of them as yet -  though none of mine are as old as yours. :)

The only coins I have now are Roman coins.

I used to have a large coin collection, but it all got lost in a house move a very long time ago and I never found the time to start a new collection.

You have a very nice collection there Rob.

I've got a few of the olympic 50p coins and the other specials like suffragettes, Benjamin Britton, etc. Nothing particularly worth much at the moment (just above face value).

And of course this very small gold coin which i dug up at the beach (which you've all seen before), worth ?30-40 i think...
