Another informative video thanks. I have a few folder of older UK coins. My local auction house recently did a youtube tutorial pointing out that buying coins pre-certain dates means that these coins had a %age of silver content and thus have value even simply for the silver scrap value. 👍🏴
Absolutely Ian. Here in the states, if a silver-colored coin is 1964 or earlier, it has enough silver content to take to a gold and silver shop (or shoppe in the UK) ( :) ) and sell it for the silver content, although of course it won't be worth a trip for just a single coin. But find out what the year is there for UK coins and and silver-colored coin you get on or before that cut-off year, put aside if it has no collectible value as a coin. The silver value will make it worth keeping to sell to a shop when you get enough. I considered talking about this, but the video was already getting long so I kept it at common collectible coins only. I would hope there is a similar website in the UK for your common old coins. Doing comps on eBay for each and every coin you have to sell can get extremely tedious. A coin site such as the one I showed makes it far faster to determine collectible value for coins.
