    I inherited my uncles house back in 2016, I still have the house and car and all the contents, amongst all the items was a collection of coins….including two Kew Gardens… at some point I must have accidentally spent some of the coins buying sweets for my grandchildren, clumsy of me, I read shortly after a young collector had found one in his change, it had made the local paper a few hundred miles from where I live… I hope it was my mistake that would benefit him. Kicked myself at first but one can’t be too greedy….😊

    I remember when you got pre 47 50% silver & pre 1920's pure silver in your change in the 70's & 80's.
    The silver florins 10p & silver shillings 5p all legal tender back in the 70's & 80's & upto 70 years old getting in your change and you could legally spend it at the shops, but of course you would be crazy to do so.
    Also i remember spending the small halfpenny & the sixpence in the early 1980's.

      @@1066gaz really? I never ever got a pre 1920 coin in my change in the 70s onwards. I think I maybe got a pre 47 shilling a couple of times in the 70s but I think most were gone by the 80s. Plenty of shillings and florins but they were all post 47 in the vast majority of cases.
      It wasn’t like I didn’t look either as I collected coins back then. Mostly three pennies and six pennies since they were fairly cheap and there weren’t a huge number of varieties like copper coins and could be bought by a youngster unlike the large silver coins.
      I didn’t often see 6 pence coins in my change as 2.5p either and they had been removed from circulation by the 1980s unlike the new 1/2p which lasted a few more years. Not that you could get much for 1/2p by the end of its run. Even the 1/2p sweets like sports gums had increased in price making it more or less useless by the time it was removed from circulation in the mid 80s.
