When people think about which types of rare coins might be the most widely sought by coin collectors, they normally think of hammered coins. However, milled coins (where the coin was mechanically struck and the edge marked with some form of edging or design in order to prevent ‘clipping’ where people clipped off part of the precious metal whilst retaining the spending power of the coin) are also widely collected. The most interesting eras of milled coinage are the early period from around 1662 to 1816, and from 1816 – 1837. Milled coins did not completely replace hammered coins until 1662 but you do find milled coins dating from up to circa 100 years before this. The process of marking the edges was called graining and is still in use today (not that the modern base metals from which coins are struck are worth anything as scrap!)

Rare Sixpences are highly collected. Half a sixpence is better than half a penny as the song went in the Tommy Steele movie and sixpences are cute, shiney (then clean!) and very tactile. They were worth 2 1/2p in “new money” but were withdrawn from circulation in the 1970s.

Crowns have always had an exciting aura about them, perhaps because they were one of the higher denomination coins in general circulation for a long time and more people would be likely to encounter a crown (if they were lucky) than perhaps a sovereign. Also, commemorative crowns have been struck in many varieties and these have become fairly collectable though they are not normally of any great value unless you have a rare proof or FDC example. Crowns were worth 25p in decimal currency. Crowns were minted to celebrate the life of Winston Churchill and various Royal Weddings. However, the older solid silver crowns tend to be the most sought after because they are big, heavy and imposing coins and you can almost feel the purchasing power that they once commanded back in time.

If you collect rare British Farthing coins then you’re in the right place. Here we have collected the very best British coins for sale and also auctions from around the world all in one place, all on one page so you can easily add to your British coin collection. Farthings are a quirky British coin and were worth slightly more than a sixpence.
A farthing (derived from the Anglo-Saxon feorthing, a fourthling or fourth part) was an English coin worth one quarter of a penny, or 1/960 of a pound sterling. They were first minted in England in the 13th century, and continued to be used until 31 December 1960, when they ceased to be legal tender.
Early examples were silver, but surviving examples are rare because they were infrequently stored. The first copper farthings were issued during the reign of King James I, who gave a licence for minting to John Harington, 1st Baron Harington of Exton. Licences were subsequently given out until after the Commonwealth, when the Royal Mint resumed production in 1672. Many modern farthings are fairly common and easy to find. They have always been an attractive coin and modern farthings featured an imprint of the bird with which they share their name.
There is something quintissentially British about the farthing, it is one of those coins that is always popular with coin collectors from overseas as well that British coin collectors. Farthings also often pop up in antique fairs and junk shops and along with common worn pennies and ha’pennies, are not generally expensive to collect. Needless to say, fine old and medieval examples obviously are very valuable and can see for a lot of money as you will see below no doubt.

Oliver Cromwell is a major character in British history and it is beyond the scope of a rare British coin collecting website to go into great detail about him. He is important from a coin collecting perspective because after becoming Lord Protector in 1653 he appeared on various coins until his death in 1658. Naturally, owing to the short time during which his coins were minted, they are rare and historically very significant, and so extremely collectable. Few coin collectors will have a genuine Oliver Cromwell coin in their coin collections. Reproduction coins are readily available as well for those who want to own an inexpensive facsimile of a Cromwellian British coin,

Silver prices are very high the moment due to the ongoing instability in the finance markets. Old silver coins are worth a lot of money now for their silver content alone. The silver spot price is very high. This means that if you can buy quantities of old silver coins cheaply, even in poor condition, you may be able to sell these for bullion for a substantial sum.
If you come across any pre-1947 silver coins then these contain real silver and the coins will be worth many times their face value. Silver coins minted after this date unfortunately don’t (though of course they may be rare and valuable in their own right, apart from their scrap value).
