    Hi guys,

    Was at the markets on the weekend and found a guy selling pennies and half pennies. I bought 13 pennies and 7 half pennies off him but dont really know what they are worth. Only got them as he was selling at what I thought was a reasonable price. They are all in ok condition with some a lot better than others. Would like to know a general price if anyone with the knowledge can share?

    Half pennies:

    1926 - has Soft (something) written on the card
    1927
    1963 - has UNC written on the card
    2 X 1949 - one has Filled Die written on the card
    1951 - has PL on the card
    1953

    Pennies:

    1926
    1927
    2 X 1929
    2 X 1933 - one is in a card and has lol written on it?
    1934
    1935
    1936
    1939
    2 X 1940
    1942

    Any info on general price for these coins would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    $2-$5 each generally

    1926 & 1929 pennies are somewhat scarce

    Tried to take some photos of the pennies but my phone isnt taking the best pictures. They are better than the photos indicate

    I used to dig heaps of these when I was out detecting.

    They were very, very common finds for me in areas with age.

    I have about 100 pennies and 50 halves in a box somewhere...

    As mentioned, unless they're key dates, they generally have little value beyond collectable value or their intrinsic copper content.

    I have a jar of 10kg of mixed years both Pennies and Halfpennies, any idea what it's worth? Looking to offload them if they are worth something, I looked through the lot for a 1930 penny but there is none, other than that not real interested in them.

    I would love that for my son to get his Oz collection up and running - you're in Briz IIRC? Let me know what you want for it.

    Before you do get rid of them, go through them again and look for 1925 and 1946 pennies and 1923 half pennies - just in case :)
