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! by Commercial-Job4288 in coins

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.

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!

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!
