€25.39 at central bank.

rustymetal · 13-09-2014 4:30pm

Hi everyone

Have a fair amount of coins that I am starting to go through, thought this might be the place to see if any of them are interesting. As for grades some are fine the odd one might be very fine but I am just guessing as I am new to this.

1/2 d

1953x1
1964x2
1966x1

1d
1941 x3
1942x2
1946x1
1948x2
1949x1
1950x1
1961x6
1963x1
1964x1
1965x3
1966x2
1967x1

and finally

1968x27

Any input would be appreciated and apologises for the lack of pics.

Hi All Im assuming there is no coin grading company in Ireland. Any opinions on how to get coins graded? Ive a few which I believe would grade very well, for example Irish silver half crowns, morgan dollars. Would be interesting to see the grade they would attain, thanks in advance

pimpmyhat · 22-09-2014 10:43pm

Hi Rusty, Im afraid those coins are of little value as they were minted in large numbers. I know they minted 30 million of the 1967 penny. there is a good website Irish coins and values, that will give you the mintage figures and estimated value of every coin. so you will know the rare ones to look out for, hope this was some help to you.

Bring them to the coin fair in October and get them graded and valued for free. I wouldn't bother with those grading companies that slab coins. You've to pay to send them off and get them back and pay the fees to have them graded and slabbed. This just adds an unnecessary expense which you will not get back from Irish collectors or dealers who are more than capable of grading coins themselves.

It may be worth it for very valuable coins or coins that are often forged, in order to prove their authenticity, like the 1943 Florins etc. But otherwise it's a waste of time and money.

pimpmyhat · 23-09-2014 6:09pm

Thanks for your reply, yes I see your point. Im looking for the 1928 irish proof set in the original case would you think it would be available at the fair? I was at the last two but wasnt looking for it at the time

Well I have seen some there in the past but obviously can't say for certain that there'll be any there next time. You've a better chance of finding it there than anywhere else though.

you would need photos of them as your idea of mint and a collectors opinion will differ enormously.

Nothing of value there in the Irish coins and I doubt the Irish notes are worth much more than face value unless they're mint UNC.

Thanks for that reply.

Just came across them earlier when clearing out stuff so just wondered.

pimpmyhat · 08-11-2014 11:37pm

The 1969 half dollar has a silver content of a 40% so worth about €3. the notes if unc prob worth about €10 and €35 if not about €30 combined. The rest of no value im afraid.

Is it worth holding on to notes for another few years? I have a 100 punt note and was offered 400 for it. Would it increase in value much if I held onto it and left it to my son say in 50 years. I know this is utter speculation btw.

The value of most notes and coins have not kept up with inflation over the last 40 or 50 years. When you look back on them and their spending power at the time compared to their value now, you'll see they haven't really gone up that much in value. I don't have exact figures but I remember someone looking into the value of the Pearse silver ten shilling coins which are worth around 20 Euro now. Apparently 10 shillings back then in 1966 would have bought you more than 20 Euro today.

However there are other things to consider, unless you're actually going to invest that 400 Euro for your son in something that's more likely to keep up with inflation like property, then you may as well hang on to it as another form of investment (not keeping all your eggs in one basket and all that...). Certainly a better investment than leaving 400 Euro in a bank account for him.

If you look through this thread some of your notes may have come up already

I would suggest ebay for a rough idea check lady lavery notes and go from there.

Suzij · 25-11-2014 11:35pm

£5 X 1981
£5 X 1999
£10 X 1991

Any help greatly appreciated

Suzij · 25-11-2014 11:36pm

Thanks I will try that

Seanf999 · 24-01-2015 2:13pm

Hi everyone I had this jar full of old coins and notes that my mother has collected over the years.. Some are in great shape and some aren't nor have I seen anything like them before here's a list..

1x USA 1oz fine silver~one dollar from 1990
1x 1 punt 1990

And an array of old pounds, pence and a
'Cobh heritage centre Hibernia collection limited edition coin..

I probably just have an array of coins that are worth more for throwing but still it's nice to know..

There's also a few old notes.. Sorry for the poor picture if you want a picture of one on its own just let me know ..

Blade · 24-01-2015 2:28pm

Seanf999 I don't see anything there worth any more than it's face value, except you have that silver US coin, so whatever that's worth at today's rate, you can look that coin up on ebay to see what it's worth.

billyhead · 25-01-2015 5:24pm

What would be the value of these 50 pence coins today? Also what is the value of the old year 2000 punt coins with the dear on them?

ncasey90 · 28-01-2015 8:01pm

Hi there I've two full sets of Irish coins, my dad framed them years ago and they have been in frames since.

Both sets are in great shape and full complete sets.

The first set is all year 2000 coins which has also the millenium pound,

The second set is the older coins from 1900-1978,

Out of curiosity I'd love to know if it's possible to get them valued ? Or where could this be done ??

Thanks a lot

Is this just a general rant? maybe take it up with boards.ie admins as this is not a forum specific "rule" but across all boards forums. Probably something to do with a low post count. You just need to up your number of posts I believe but you should really contact the help desk or feedback forums for this.

derry dirtfisher · 02-03-2015 7:56pm

thanks for the reply, but no, i wasnt ranting, i just wanted to share some pics on this forum with those interested in coins and the like. i dont have time or interest to waste posting mundane posts to increase my post count.

You can't post links unless you have at least a 50 post count, it was to do with stopping spammers. However I'm not sure if you can upload photos, when posting see if you can see the 'Manage Attachments' tab. You may be able to upload photos there, then again I'm not sure as you may still need a 50 count for that too!

I'd like to see what you have there, if you want you can PM me and I'll give you my email so you can mail them to me and I'll post them here on your behalf. Or if you've already uploaded them somewhere I can just post the link for you.

derry dirtfisher · 02-03-2015 11:57pm

thanks blade, ill upload pics tomorrow
among others ive a gold 1786 half guinea and some silvers from lizzie 1st in the 1500s to james the first, james the second, william of orange and some irish bank tokens. if nothing else theyre interesting to see. ive also some medals which ive cleaned up. one from a speaker in ucd and one for best sow at a market or something.
i was also lucky enough to find a cannonball which is probably from the era of the siege of derry. i know there were skirmishes in the area at the time
ill get some pics and forward them to u
