    Hey everyone, going through some old stuff of my mom's, found a bag of 1940s Aussie dimes and pennies (damn they're big!) Any worth to these?

    Thank you

    Edit--what I thought were dimes are 3 pence

    Nice little find.
    The threepences have some silver content
    1910 to 1944: 92.5% (approx 24 will give you 1oz of silver)
    1947 to 1964: 50%
    obviously the numis value will depend on condition
    A useful website is www.bluesheet.com.au
    Same site will help you value the pennies.
