Sorry for your loss mate

Yeah but, Tunnie. 

That sounds promising. What brand is it please ?
I think they were all ok apart from Laser tools, who had a dodgy batch that never got recalled.
Feel free to PM me details, thanks.

Thank you both 

That's interesting as i thought it was the Bank Of England for the exchanges

Some Postoffices (certainly only a handful) will take old notes (not sure about coins) and pay into your bank account at full value - has to be paid into an account, or needs photo ID etc.

I found a load of out of date £20s in a suitcase we rarely used, and did that.  For me, it had to be Oxford (no thanks!) or Birmingham - PO website will tell you your nearest, and probably what they will and won't take.

Also, as I sort through things, I’ve come across some sequential £5 paper notes, coins like the early 50p and £1, and the old 3d coins. I also seem to have most of the different designs of the round £1 coins.

There’s an oil-filter box full of old halfpennies and similar coins.

It’s all getting sorted, but it may all be scrap or, at best, face value. I have a flyer from a market trader who buys gold, silver, medallions, and coinage, etc. He offers around 50% of the value of old coins and notes.

Even found a 5 bob coin still in its sleve.

Looked at Hatton Garden prices but for the distance and time taken etc Then Birmingham and Wolverhampton are just as competitive.

The stuff I have may fetch £900 but with the stones then I dont know if the price may increase due to resale or decrease because they may be considered as scrap only

I do have the details of the weights and stones as a guideline.

Totally agree regards the postal service.

These are just our local jewelry shops.

A friend has worked in the Silver for the last 35 years pr so and over the years I have learned a lot and also bought quite a lot of clocks and picture frames as presents.

I am aware the Birmingham Gold/Jewelry quarter and have monitored prices for a while.

The Best price in the quarter is .25p more than local shops so not worth the 4 hour round trip.

Sorry to hear about your Mum Steve. Even though it's expected, it still leaves a massive hole. My Mum died on Boxing Day 2020 and it's considered a bad time of year, but when is a good time for something such as this? All the best to you and yours mate.
