Old £1 coins.

A while ago I discovered 6 old £1 coins in a pocket. I happened to mention them to a friend who told me to check whether they were collectors items worth more than face value. I checked on Ebay and found that 4 similar ones were for sale at £4 each and one at £68. I would like to sell mine and donate the money to charity, but have never sold anything on Ebay (bought lots!), and don't want to start.
Does anyone know of a company, on line or otherwise, who would buy them from me?

I think the one at £68 would be someone trying their luck.

Mine were put into the charity box. Apparently there are 145 million still not handed in.
I got rather excited once looking at the price of a coin I have on Ebay - it was being sold for well over £100. However, there were several others exactly the same being sold for about £3!
