  • 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 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

    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. 😊

    Paul, I'm hoping that the Irish 1968 1d. is the chickless variety it appears part of the second chicks body is missing, you'd have to put it side by side with a standard 1d to tell. If so worth £15-20 in that condition. You could also look at Tim's Coins he does a specific video on the 1968 chickless variety.

    The St Chris pendent is silver plated. You can see in places where the plating has worn off.
    Also when you say, 50% silver, you forget the 50% bronze. If it aint full silver, then its not worth its weight, so to speak.
    Does annoy me when (not you) people waving around half silver coins and claiming they are silver.
