What are the dates? George V or George VI? Large pennies?

Also, what do you mean by quite a few? If you can't easily count them, perhaps you can weigh them or indicate how many 3 lb. coffee cans they would fill.

Awaiting answers too.
I have about 250 large cents, many George Vs, at least 1000 George VIs, and a couple boxes of BU young queens.

Another question. You say you have quite a few of the coins. Are you interesting in selling (if the price is right, of course) or are you doing something like creating a statement of your net worth and just trying to figure a fair value for the coins?

I'm sure you're kidding about the net worth comment(at least I hope so) but definitely interested in selling them.

It depends on how you look at it. When I was in my 20's with a tiny net worth (even a negative net worth at one time), coins were a very big percentage of what I had.

Look at this site: http://www.coinsandcanada.com

Now is not a good time to sell, but if you want, PM me a list of what you have and I will give you an idea and even maybe make you and offer.

He wasn't king during those years. Or am I totally missing something?
