Coins derive their value from their rarity, condition, visual appeal and - most importantly – the size of their collector base. Our specialists are experienced at assessing preservation and identifying details that distinguish a common coin from a valuable one.

The Kings Norton Metal Company of Birmingham (registered in 1890) was contracted by the Royal Mint to help mint bronze pennies dated 1918 and 1919 due to the demand for circulating small change following World War I and having previously helped with Colonial coinage since 1914 and in the making of bronze penny blank flans for 1912. The older Heaton Mint had been the first Birmingham metal company contracted for coinage producing Pennies dated 1912 as well as 1918 and 1919 too.
