Question
i have several austrailan 1 penny peices in fair to good cond. dates range from 1900 to 1938. are they worth anything. thank you for your time.

Answer
Hi Roger, Collector value of a coin depends on denomination (face value), date, mint mark (if any), number minted and condition of a coin, including amount of wear, any dents, scratches or cleaning as well as collector demand for it.
If you start by listing them by Date, I may be able to give you a range of value estimates.
You might also try a library for a copy of the Standard Catalog of World Coins for pictures, values and lots more interesting info.
