[QUOTE="ChrisD, post: 391634, member: 8625"] My tip would be to get yourself a list of Australian pre decimal 'key dates' and go through your coins one-by-one, sort the wheat from the chaff so to speak. Generally speaking, most detector found coins, copper or silver, are only worth scrap value. Even key date copper coins, unless really lucky with soil conditions etc, will only fetch marginally better than scrap. What you're looking for are key date silver coins that saw little circulation before being dropped. And on that point, when you do detect a silver coin, resist the temptation to give it a rub to see the detail, there's no better way to destroy a potentially valuable coin. Good luck, hope you've got something good in your stash. [/QUOTE]
