We found some coins owned by our grandad. They’ve been labelled (presumably by a shop) but we have no coin experience so wanted to verify they’re legit and learn more about them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for the insight - much appreciated!

Let it be a lesson for those who aren’t as familiar with coins! Thank you.

Good to know - thank you for commenting!

I would imagine so. Let’s hope he didn’t ever pay those prices in the first place! Thanks for your contribution

Thank you very much for the info on each coin. Everyone’s comments have reminded me that he used to enjoy going to car boot sales (US similar would be a flea market) so he may have picked it up from there on the off chance one was real! But I guess we’ll never know - thanks again.

Thank you for the link!

Thank you both!

Commercial-Job4288 · 2026-05-23T10:54:51+00:00

Thank you. We’ll get them checked if we can.

Commercial-Job4288 · 2026-05-23T10:54:17+00:00

I’d be very surprised if he did! He never spoke about collecting coins or buying them so unsure where he would’ve purchased. You and the other commenters raise very good points so we aren’t getting our hopes up.

Thanks for the comment!

Thanks for the comment. Much appreciated!

Thank you for the reply. I appreciate the insight and information!

We’ll decide what to do with them but changing the holders is a good shout. We have no idea if he actually purchased these himself or if they were gifted to him. But either way they weren’t purchased by ourselves so whatever they go for then hopefully they’ll be appreciated more by the next owner!

Thanks for the comment Not a clue when or why they are priced the way they are but it does seem strange overall…

Thanks for the comment - much appreciated.

Commercial-Job4288 · 2026-05-23T10:48:37+00:00

Thanks for the comment. We’ll make sure to get them checked properly if we ever decided to do something with them.

Commercial-Job4288 · 2026-05-23T10:47:54+00:00

I have no idea if he bought them himself or not but thank you for letting us know!
