No worries. Any new forum user should familiarise themselves with the forum charter though before posting:

That way most conflicts can be avoided. Also note that each forum has its own charter and set of rules. So, for example the do's and don't's of the collectibles and antiques forum may be different to those of the motoring forum etc.

Anywhere in Dublin I can take these coins to get a valuation??

You need to sort the coins out first between

Sterling pre 1921 they have 90% silver content

Sterling 1921 to 1946 50% silver content

sterling 1947 +, no silver content

Weigh pre 1921 in ounces then divide by 437/480 to achieve troy ounce value. Apply 90% content to the troy ounce weight to calculate silver content.

Do the same with 1921 to 1946 with a 50% multiplier.

Check the spot rate for silver to give you a theoretical value. that is the maximum value you will achieve. A coin dealer will only give you a fraction of that, maybe 15%, unless the coins are in perfect uncirculated condition.

Alternative is to offer on adverts.ie or some other forum. Best you will get on internet forums is c70% gross

Brought them into a coin dealer in Cathedral street, not a happy bunny....offered 27 euro for the Irish coins didn't bother looking at the English coins said they where worth nothing......two George V 1 shilling coins dated 1914/15 that even to my uneducated eye look in very good condition...3euro for the pair


sod that :rolleyes:

You didn't mention you had Irish coins in your OP, what exactly do you have in Irish that he offered 27 Euro for them?

dogpile

There's about 50 or so shilling and mostly 2 shilling coins from earliest 1928 to 41.....admittedly there's obvious wear in alot of them but I dunno thought they'd be worth quite a bit more than 27 quid

Blade

Dealers sell well worn earlier Irish silver for 1 euro for shillings, 2 Euro for 2 shillings and 3 Euro for half crowns.
