    I have no idea why RUclips recommended me this video because I have no interest in collecting coins, but I just sat and watched you sort through the entire bag. Maybe RUclips knows me better than I know myself 🤔

It seems some genius estate agent has managed to alter the image to such an extent, the post office is now called Canvey on Sea. Fabulous 😂😂

    I think the fried egg error is harder to find than the Jane Austen. The Jane Austen NIFC was meant for collectors and not for circulation while the fried egg error is 100% unintended. I also enjoy error coins way more than NIFCs.

    "Standing on the shoulders of giants" is actual a big diss to Hooke, so even though it sounds like a profound thing to say, it was actually because Hooke accused Newton of plagiarising his work on light, which to be honest, he had to some extent, but Hooke and Newton hated each other, and Hooke was a short man, so Newton responsed with "If I have seen further (than you) it is by standing on the shoulders of GIANTS (and not small people like you)"

    In 1956/57 it am about 5yo, a friend of my farther, had worked in the UK gas industry all his life gave me 3p bit. [suspect you can guess wats coming], being a bright lad I noted the difference to the other 3p bit coins. Non of us realised how significant an Edward 8th coin was. But in order to keep it safe I hid it in my bedroom, I forgot about it. What stays in a 5yo mind. We move a year or two later, and as far as I know the coin is still there. Go ahead you can weep now.

    Yesterday, I saw a thing pop up on my news feed about a guy that had found a mis-stamped £2 coin and it was on ebay for £400. I had a look and it's the golden guinea. I thought " I have a coin tin with £1 and £2 coins in it - about £500, I wonder if I can find anything that is collectible - i'm no expert and I don't know that much about coins ). Anyway, I saw his coin, went through my 100 or so £2 coins and a Shakespeare - comedies, a rugby, a darwin and................... the same golden guinea coin with the same mis-stamping errors as the guy selling on ebay for £400. His coin looks like it's been dropped into a tumble-dryer with a bag of nuts and bolts, but mine is significantly better condition. Is the guy selling the coin on ebay deluded? Am I deluded, or do I have something worth something?

    I once got a £20 note from a cash point which had a big fold in it. Opened up, it had a clear un-printed strip running across it. I showed it to others who looked stunned and then declared it worth nothing but face value. I banked it because I really needed the money for what it was. I still think those who said it was worthless were lying through their teeth. That was over thirty years ago, so no internet to help negotiate the truth.
