Does any one know if a 1907 half-penny coin is worth anything.? A friend of mine has found one and it is very dirty-she hasn,t cleaned it-so we cant read it properly.Just thought i would ask before we ring a coin collector up.

There are a few sites on the net where you can get approx values. Have used it myself ages ago but cant remember the addresses. Found some old coins, oldest 1914 I think when doing some plumbing work years ago under an old library we were converting into a house

Cos first Aussie half penny was 1911. Check Ebay to get an idea.

Yes, im interested as well, Ive got a 1907 penny, Im guessing its English. Ive hung onto it as I have some strange feeling that it will bring me great luck in the year 2007.

My Great grandma gave me a coin from 1816, i remember because it was 100 years before she was born. i think thats why she got it aswell.
But i was like 8 or 10 and i did what we 10 year olds do best and show it off then hide it... but lost it... kinda regret it now..

I do...
I work in a servo.. I've got no "old" money, just dozens of odd coins from other countries. Dad has quite a few hidden away somewhere. I'm sure some of them would be worth some money (pun intented.) |

Don't get your hopes up guys.
I've seen 2,000 year old Roman coins going for $5. The 1907 Half penny and penny most probably are English, with Britannia on the front. According to my old source book, the halfpenny has a mintage of 16.8 million, and the penny is 47.32 million. Not rare by any means. But a lot also depends on their condition. But rarity in this case, I'm sorry, they are not.

Yes true. Half Pennys can be anything from 50 cents for a poor grade 1911 to 220K for a proof 1923. It all depends on rarity and then condition rather than age. How about 75 cents for a poor grade 1916 compared with 675 grand for a proof 1930 penny. Anyone got a 1914-1924 one thousand pound note in uncirculated condition $1 million+ |

The only advice I can give, is DON'T CLEAN IT!!!! if it is worth anything, it ain't worth jack if it has been cleaned!

Know of any coin dealers here in Adelaide? I just inherited a whole heap from my father when he passed away in 2005 and am interested in getting these valued. I have Aust. Pennies from 1911 through to 1964, minus the 1930 and 1924 years, Half Pennies, Florins, Three Pences, Sixpences, plus a whole heap of other things. I am more interested in pricing these coins, and other collectable ones that I got as well. Cheers! Sgt Doofey.

I have a big bag of coins I inherited but my favorite is the one I bought in 2000, the $5 coin with the guy with a gun on the front (or back).

I am keen on buying collectable coins, for a personal collection, I am not a dealer. If anyone has something they want to sell, please let me know, thanks
