1916 George V Halfcrowns For �4 ($6.70) What Do You Reckon?
 

I saw this deal online, 1916 Half crown's in 'Fine' Condition for �4.

There pre-1919 so there 92.5% Silver.

I did the maths;

The coins weigh 14.1 g in total,
92.5% of 14.1 grams = 13.0425 grams
13.0425 grams = 0.460060649 ounces
0.460060649 ounces = �4.78 ($8.01) as of 10/11/09 (or 11/10/09 if your American)

Am I right?

looks like some copper English pennies, the engraving that is.

�4 sounds like a great deal. i don't suppose Apmex has them for that price ? :beer:

I closed well below spot on a pair of florins this week already. Went a little higher for a 1886 shilling, but still only about half spot. You just can't beat old brit silver

Yea that's the exact same coin only in better condition, 24carat.co.uk sell it for �20. Just goes to show the numismatic value of coins in better condition.

I mean I paid �12, ($19.80) for a 5 Shilling piece (.8409 troy ounce of pure silver.) dated 1889 in V.F-E.F condition.

People scoffed at that, telling my I'd be ripped off, but I did my homework and found out the coin was worth over �20 because of its age and condition.
