Title: Modern 1920 pattern coin - not the 1 penny kind
Post by: coxspau on January 12, 2016, 10:23:54 PM
I was going through some boxes to try and see what I'm looking to hold on to and what I could dispose of and I came across these coins.

Does anyone have any idea what they might be? I recall buying them a number years ago, but the person I bought them from had no idea. They've been sitting in the box until, but I'd really like to know something about them.

There are some similar listings on ebay .You might also need to change the holders
you have them in because they look like pvc to me

Thanks for the reference. I'll swap the holders tonight.

Didn't know they might attract that type of value. TBH, I can't remember how much I paid for them. Seems like an odd collection of pattern coins without much detail available.

I'll start them on ebay at a low price and see how they go. Might be interesting.

Weren't these reprints of the square coins that were suggested years ago and not taken up.

Yes I think they are, the 1/2d and 1/d patterns (1920-1921) are the real deal.
These are "Fantasy" coins :ok:
