      No clue how much you’d get for the lot but I’ve seen some people make some really nice rings using some of the older coins. Someone doing things like that may make you an offer on the lot

    2. There’s only a few Irish coins of particularly high value, and with some exceptions they need to be in very good nick to be that valuable; otherwise it’s not much more than face value

      [http://www.irishcoinage.com/modcat.html](http://www.irishcoinage.com/modcat.html) for the predecimal, [http://www.irishcoinage.com/deccat.html](http://www.irishcoinage.com/deccat.html) for the decimal values.

      These all look to be in circulated condition, which would be Fine on those charts, if even.

      Some of the coins may be part silver and worth a lot more than face value due to the silver content. Pre 1942 Irish 1 and 2 shilling and half crown, pre 1947 English 6d/1s/2s/half crown I think.

      Keep a few sample of each for the nostalgia value and sell the rest for cheap at a car boot sale.

      Or keep the lot and donate to a child or nibling that’s into history. It would be a nice start into a coin collection with lots to swap.

    4. You can download a [coin ID app](https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/coinsnap-coin-identifier/id1634551626) and find out what they’re worth. That app gives you a 7 day free trial. I used it to do my wife’s grandfather’s collection. It found most of them, even the really ancient ones with almost no impression left. It even correctly ID’d a souvenir fake Roman coin from when they opened the Jorvik centre. No I don’t have shares in it, it was just nice to find a good app that did what it said, for free.

      Do you have a 20p from like 1983 or 1982 by any chance? Because it’s worth like 10k no joke

    6. I’m an amateur collector I can take it of off you hands if you like, we can come to and agreement

      The ’new‘ 10p coins launched in the early 1990s were all minted in the same year: 1993, so they all have that date on them. These are the smaller ones that came out to replace the older, bigger ones. Some of those were predated by the florin pre-decimal coin which was worth 2 shillings, and you’d see the florins being used as tenpence pieces all the time.

      Anyway, before they were launched, the central bank minted 1000 coins that were issued to the manufacturers of coin-operated machines, like cigarette machines, pay phones, pool tables, jukeboxes etc. They were minted and circulated in 1992, and supposed to be returned to the central bank.

      Worth quite a few bob these days

      There is a guy on Etsy that makes them into rings. He might be interested in them.
