Rare coins.
Seems I’ve managed to get a £2 coin to commemorate the abolition of slavery which may be worth a fair bit more than two quid.
I’ve looked on eBay but the prices are all over the place.

value always varies on ebay - some of the high value ones are probably due to a rare error on the coin. Not sure of the exact one you have but 8.5million of the slavery £2 coins are out there, very common.0

The one I have has the writing on the outer edge only readable when the queen’s head is facing down which apparently is an error and makes its value higher.Mike said:value always varies on ebay - some of the high value ones are probably due to a rare error on the coin.

Me and all my surviving siblings have a Churchill coin, 1965, not worth much more than my dad forked out for them.0

A half crown 1952 is the last George VI one. It's a rarity. Show it to a merchant,ShootersHillGuru said:I found an old 1952 half crown in a draw at home. Anybody know if it’s worth anything?
( Charing X Road) or go to Coin Collector's Fair at Charing X station open every Saturday morning.
That's where I go before every Saturday game I attend at the Valley.

Is there a big market for old coins? I inherited my grandfather's collection, and wouldn't mind knowing a bit more about it... Particularly its value!
Seems the price depends very much on the quality of the coin, does gauging that require an expert eye?0 -

There are 4 or 5 grades of coin based on the quality/lustre.
This grading obv affects the price and needs to be assessed by an expert.1 -

A coin dealer is a regular in my pub. Churchill Crowns are indeed worth something. 25 New Pence to be precise.1

Not a rare coin but I have a Victory Medal which I dug up in our garden about 45 years ago. It has the recipients name inscribed around the edge and I know it was the surname of the family whom we bought the house from. I have held onto it all this time because I realised it was of importance to someone.
I would like to repatriate it with the recipients family but with just a surname to go with I’m not sure where to start. Thoughts anyone?0 -
Not a great photo but coin on right has different coloured centre. Same metal as outer, both coins same weight.
Don't know if it's a forgery or mis-struck?
