I went to a local car boot sale early on a Sunday morning. I bought a wooden box with some coins in it. I paid the asking price of £20. Was it a good purchase?

The Canadian 50-cent piece is 80% silver, and has a silver value of £6.50. You could easily sell it for £8 on it's own. The St Christopher pendant dates from the 1970s or 1960s. That's a nice find. The silver alone more than covers the £20 paid for the whole box. The swiss franc is worth one pound. The 1936 penny is worth a few quid in that condition. A total bargain box. 😊

@GaryBailey-hk4ex 2 месяца назад

Yeah the Canadian 50p is 80% silver up to 68 dropped back to 50% silver!! Worth about 7.50$, That silver Saint, be praised, it paid for your box today, that pendant is from around 74, 75 my brother got one then new.That 1946 get you a couple of dollars!! GaryBailey 1902 Six pence here would get ya 6.00$ The Moroccan coin is 1951. I have coin boxes of the cupro nickel coins But have not hardly one of the large Coppers or even smalls, except for the Irish pennies I have a whole set of them!! Gary Bailey

The football clubs came from a set which was issued on the centenary of the FA Cup (although not the winners from the first 10 years or so when it was a mainly amateur competition and was won by such mighty clubs as Old Etonians and Oxford University). These came free with Esso petrol. The date on the other side was the year(s) that the club had won and who they had beaten in the final. I have a set but, being made from cheap metal, they are prone to corrosion

Some decent quality there! It sometimes pays to look up things like that 50 franc coin. I came across a 1958 specimen in about VF/XF, which Numista lists at £76 (low mintage). Sadly your 1952 effort is only worth £2.60 ... sorry about that ;o)

Some excellent conditioned coins there. The 1936 penny looked almost uncirculated. Nice few bits of silver with the 1946 shilling and Canadian 50 cents as well as the Christopher Collects charm 😁. Bulls? Cows? Or were you just trying to milk it? 😂. The Football tokens were issued by petrol stations (Esso?) with the main side showing the winning team's name and crest, and the other side showing the clubs they beat and the year. Not a bad selection for £20
