Does anybody know where I can sell old coins. I have a mixed variety that have been in circulation dated from 1902 -1967?
Thanks

Up to 1920 British silver coins contained 92.5% silver so can be sold on ebay or as scrap for silver content via Hatton Garden Metals or similar company.
1920 to 1946 they still contained silver but it was down to 50%, again ebay or for scrap.
From 1947 onwards, silver coins are just silver coloured. Possibly ebay for a collector but they generally prefer uncirculated.
Good luck and please let us know how you get on

If you find that the coins aren't worth that much, places like Beamish that have old fashioned banks take coins to use there. You could donate them.0
