They need to be old pre decimal coins. Looks like they would have to be from the 1950's or before. I see nothing of real value above that date. If you live in the UK you could see a local dealer. I know of no site to help you.

The value is negligible, unless they are rare and in good condition. Most houses in the country will contain some pre-decimal coins.

convinced - i'm previous adequate to undergo in ideas decimalisation in uk. funds that were minted earlier that did have a tendency to stay in stream for a lengthy time period. I undergo in ideas previous pennies that were in basic terms about black in shade, they were that previous. i became continuously surprised even as new funds got here out and that i might want to make certain the real shade of them. And convinced, human beings were more effective 'connected' to previous funds. all of them had names given to them - A farthing A ha'penny (a million/2 pence) - a Bob ( a shilling) A thrupenee bit (3 pence piece) a Florin (2 shillings/2 bob) A 1/2 Crown (2 shillings and six pence) A Crown (5 shillings) After that it became notes ( a 10 bob be conscious). there became no 'P' abbreviation for pence (the abbreviation became 'd') so funds were by no ability called 10p, 20p and so on as in modern-day cases. There are nonetheless those who talk about the excellent decimalisation swindle in 1971. I undergo in ideas that chewing gum were 1d each (a million previous pence) and that i might want to purchase 12 for a shilling. the subsequent day they were in common words a million/2 new pence each, so i might want to purchase 10 for 5p (equivalent of a shilling). the exact same type of coin became used for both transactions, yet each of the youngsters lost out.
