Coins

[Kezzer]

So cleaning out time and came accross a collection of old coins

Some of them are in perfect condition dating back to 1850

Worth trying to get money out of? I haven't got a clue about this kind of thing but there's like 10-15 going before 1900. They need a clean up too. Copper cleaner do the job?

Don't clean them until you've had some good advice from someone who knows what they're on about.

yeah i found a bag of old coins round my house too...go back long way - take them to a coin-bloke-specialist...my advice. might be worth a mint...

get it, a mint! ha ha! I don't know where they come from, guess its just a natural talant

[Kezzer]

We don't have any coin-bloke-specialists over here at all

try searching up ebay for the same coin's you have , and get a comparision of the prices

[blockers]

Or just search generally on the internet for coins of the same type. Maybe email some large museums and see if they can give you any info?

[Bunjiweb]

i doubt Ebay would give you an accurate price unless you are considering selling them there. I say you would do better selling them to a collector or something after seeking advice from an expert (cointolagist? )

a coinologist?...

nomismatologist?

anyway, i sugest you keep it, i have four soviet coints futuring gagarin, the olympic games, mir and of course one of karl marx, just keep em mate

[Angus]

To be honest, it's probably better just to keep them. Even Roman coins aren't worth much unless you find a really rare one.

Just my 2p worth

[Kezzer]

Hehe, cheers for the tips guys, i'll probably keep them very safe

been looking on google, still cant find a word for a coin specialist person, like there is one for a stamp collector and things...
