I am a fossil who started collecting Victorian coins in 1955. For years, at least once a month sometimes weekly I'd go to the banks and get £5 of pennies. They'd come in 20 thick blue paper bags, showing the banks name, all contained in a large blue cloth bag. Each blue bag had 60 pennies in it (5 bob). Hours and Hours of fun sorting through 1,200 pennies. Each year I'd start a new set for the 100 years prior, never kept any that were worn as bad as you have here, of course I had WAY more to choose from., The last time I did this was in 1971 when there were bucket loads of pre decimal pennies being dumped at the banks, on that occasion I got my hands on 4 X £5 bags, Collecting Victorian pennies was simple in the 50s, sometimes 300+ in a £5 sack. Best of all they were free. Some years I'd make 2 complete 100 year sets.I did sell most of them for the princely sum of £1 per 100 year set, more than twice face value at that time.
Thanks for another fab video Paul 👍 don't know why I love penny hunts so much, think because it takes me back to my childhood when mum used to give me tuppence so I could pay for my ticket on the bus ❤ happy memories
Hi man ,i love your chanel and your love for this coins you know that coin collecting is not just abought gold,silver and expensive coins .I am from a small country and here i dont have many ways to buy coins just if i see them on our local site for people to post some ads and with slightly higher prices, but what can be done,i like these coins ,so i buy them when i have money ,since i am very young and currently unemployed because im still going to school I was extremely surprised when I found your channel and when I saw how you go through so many of these coins that I like to collect by date I don't know how you get so many at once it is honestly my dream to go through a bunch of coins like this and organize them in my collection, I honestly understand why you won't say how you get them, even though I admit that I would like to know. So I will at least try my hand at this prize game, if I can at least win this collection, if God willing I win, I will leave my instagram and gmail through which you can to let me know thank you for your efforts for these clips, keep it up.♥
It’s amazing those pennies are 150 years old and made without use of computers. All handmade dies and thus many mistakes and variants. I love watching your hunts! Inspired me to get my younger friends into coin collecting.
Pretty decent bag of Victorian Pennies Paul. No rarities but a lot of new finds and upgrades. Obviously a searched lot with any specials taken out. I was amazed at the amount of 1897's. You don't normally get that many in your big penny hunts. Anyways thanks for another nice video. Would still like to win these though. Looking forward to your newly acquired lot from your normal source.
We don't seem to have any resources in the US for British coins. But because there's not as much of a demand in the States you can find some real bargains. One of my finds is an 1869 penny in Fine condition.
Nice to see so many Victorian pennies. I was rooting for an 1869 penny to pop up. But you have done so well to fill that many dates in the board for two videos
Lots of gaps filled the board is filling up quite a bit. I love the Jack the Ripper Coins, I collect that date from around the world when they turn up....
Thank you. I’m a bit late to the party this series - I’ve been studying for finals all of the last month. It’s great to have time to catch up now. Some lovely finds this time - that 1896 isn’t bad at all.
It's great to see a video specifically about the Victorian pennies. Usually we see less of them because of all the later interesting varieties. This was a great video, Paul. Thank you!
Great Video Paul, some lovely finds in that lot. I will get back on the coins soon, picking up some silver this afternoon to try and get the mojo back.
I have 2 collections , pennies with lustre and also those which are well circulated as the ones you have here . They do seem to be increasing in value . I have a 1860 penny with beaded boarder in UNC and a 1869 penny with lustre . 1871 is also a hard date to find .
The 1875-H is the rarest of the set as it has the lowest mintage. Compared to the 1869 it would be interesting to see which had a better survival rate. I have a ¹/² penny with a die number, but I don't know much about it.
That bag of Vickys certainly made some big strides in filling those gaps. And I think the dirty mug got neglected as there were some worthy coins to go into it! 😁
Many thanks - another great video. Paused and checked my loose 1863's while watching, but nothing unusual with the 3's and no mint marks - might have to look in the box of old Whitman folders just in case - Look forward to the next one !
👍- I was just watching this video while checking a few of my old pennies...and found an 1882 without the 'H' - at almost exactly the same time as you mentioned it! However, there may be a reason for it being without the 'H' - it's rather worn! 🤔 I'll check in daylight tomorrow! 🤞
Great noodle and I only wish I could get coins to do the same. I have collected quite a few English coins but our supply in Australia is minimal. Look forward to the next video. Regards Glen Orr
Hi Paul, thanks again for your effort in getting more coins and keeping the videos coming.I keep hoping that you will find something that you keep on looking for,from JRS.
Been really enjoying the videos and I've now started adding to my collection with some junk shop finds. Also, checked my own childhood collection and it appears I have a 1915 recessed ear with the broken tooth. Unfortunately 10 year old me gave it a bit of a polish.
Great vid and information as always. I bought a pre-decimal set for £50 at the car boot yesterday. Longest reigning monarchs. Victoria and Elizabeth 18 coin set in a very nice wooden box. I mainly bought it for 1893 crown as I didn't have a Victoria one. The Penny was from 1897, but sadly no dot.
G'day Paul its great to see some more pennies on the board and there is more to come with your normal supplier keep the penny vids coming until your next vid stay safe cheers mate. 👊🇦🇺👍🙏
So nice to see a lot of Victorian pennies in the one hunt. My guess is that three of the four pennies left to find will be the 1950, 1951 & 1953 varieties plus one of the Victorian ones
Tha 1896 in fairly good condition for that year, Should have gone in your Whitman album Paul, I seem to remember you’ve been chasing a superior conditioned one in ages. That made a huge dent in the Victorian years👏Very much look forward to the return of the old supply next week
I am always intrigued by the coins with the years overstamped so that an earlier year is still showing. I presume the die was re-engraved (imperfectly) but I can't get the image out of my head of the Royal Mint dragging urchins off the streets of Tower Hill to have them hand punch the new date for a penny a thousand...
Amazing stuff! I am however not sure about your statement that videos should not be numbered. Rather, if I find a numbered video, I immediately know there's more to watch, which is usually a good thing for me
Great to hear you're getting more coins from your original supplier - these penny hunts are great so it will help you carry on! Happy penny searching! Hopefully the tide won't go out too far!! 😁🍻👍

Wow, I would have enjoyed to go through all those bags of One Pennies like you did. You were very fortunate😃
Thanks for another fab video Paul 👍 don't know why I love penny hunts so much, think because it takes me back to my childhood when mum used to give me tuppence so I could pay for my ticket on the bus ❤ happy memories
Cheers Sue. Yes, my childhood too 👍
I love your videos man good luck finding some more good coins .

I always found old Penny collecting complex and inaccessible, but you are helping make sense of it.
It's amazing the history these coins have seen, would be great to be able to see the "life" of each individual coin.
Another nice hunt!
Thanks Jason 👍

Cheers Keith. Yes, it must have been 10 or 11 1897's. No dot though. 👍
It's amazing that these pennies circulated for more than 100 years!
We don't seem to have any resources in the US for British coins. But because there's not as much of a demand in the States you can find some real bargains. One of my finds is an 1869 penny in Fine condition.
A really enjoyable Victoria hunt with a lot of gaps filled. Good news about your original supplier. Hopefully more penny hunts soon.
Thanks Keith, yes I hope the pennies turn up this week 👍
34:08 I think there is the dye number 4 towards the right of the 3 in 1863. You can just about see it when the light shines on the coin.
Nice to see so many Victorian pennies. I was rooting for an 1869 penny to pop up. But you have done so well to fill that many dates in the board for two videos
I’ve a bag of Victorian pennies somewhere in the house,always collected the young heads when a kid , fairgrounds were always a good source.
A different style video this time . Nice one .
Its always great to watch your old penny videos.
Lots of gaps filled the board is filling up quite a bit. I love the Jack the Ripper Coins, I collect that date from around the world when they turn up....
As a relatively new coin collector, I really enjoy watching and learning with every video. Thanks.
Thank you. I’m a bit late to the party this series - I’ve been studying for finals all of the last month. It’s great to have time to catch up now. Some lovely finds this time - that 1896 isn’t bad at all.
Thanks Paul, glad to hear your normal supplier is back on the scene. If only coins could talk, the stories they could tell.
That's IT ! Not UNC but used, done the rounds, seen a bit, accumulated some hands on history during their use.
The click, click, click of the coins and your rhythmic voice is provided the same therapeutic effect in me as the Shipping Forecast !
Yes. If you have trouble sleeping at night, count sheep, listen to The Shipping Forecast or watch one of my videos 🤣🤣
Glad to see a fair bit of progress and some lines and also plenty of asked you’ve managed to source more from your original supplier 😊
Great stuff 👍🏻
Hi Smiffy, yes, hopefully more pennies will turn up this week 👍
Love your videos. I sit for hours going through my collection. Your experience in finding the good ones helps. Thanks.
Lovely Victorian pennies, always fun to watch your penny hunts, great video!
It's great to see a video specifically about the Victorian pennies. Usually we see less of them because of all the later interesting varieties. This was a great video, Paul. Thank you!
Great Video Paul, some lovely finds in that lot. I will get back on the coins soon, picking up some silver this afternoon to try and get the mojo back.
What a great selection of Victorian pennies, thanks Paul!
A Penny-Palooza!!! So many big fun pennies !
thanks for another great hunt!
Another brilliant video. Love the penny hunts. This one was really good with just Victoria pennies.
Started watching your channel recently. Recently into coin collecting. Love the content, and find it very useful. Cheers!
Thanks again Paul!! Loved this great hunt of these Victorian pennys. 👍
Another pre-decimal penny hunt! Thank you. This made my day much better. Keep up the great content.
Nice to see so many of the Victorian years filled including plenty in nice condition. Thanks for another good video Paul
the old coins had such lovely designs on them unlike todays coins.
i do love these coin hunts.
I love the old Victorian pennies, thanks for the video.
I have 2 collections , pennies with lustre and also those which are well circulated as the ones you have here . They do seem to be increasing in value . I have a 1860 penny with beaded boarder in UNC and a 1869 penny with lustre . 1871 is also a hard date to find .
Nice penny hunt. Lots of variety. Nice to hear you're in contact with your normal seller. Looking forward to the next hunt.
Loved the 1896, nice grade, and the rare dot coin. Thanks
I bought a group of 100 Victoria pennies the last time I visited the UK. Lots of fun!
Excellent mix with lots of dates
The 1875-H is the rarest of the set as it has the lowest mintage. Compared to the 1869 it would be interesting to see which had a better survival rate. I have a ¹/² penny with a die number, but I don't know much about it.
Another fantastic penny hunt , the boards filling up nicely. Learning so much about different error marks and mint marks.
Another great hunt. Filling up the board very quickly with a nice variety
That bag of Vickys certainly made some big strides in filling those gaps. And I think the dirty mug got neglected as there were some worthy coins to go into it! 😁
I was hoping some would be in nicer condition, but it wasn't too bad.
Yes, I'll have to sort the dirty ones I missed and put them in the mug
It is kind of neat to have all Victorian pennies seeing the different states of wear.
Love these videos Paul. All the best, John.
Great load of victorian coins loads of update just love your penny hunts well done paul 👍👍👍
Cheers Ed, thanks for watching 👍
What a great series. thoroughly enjoyed it
Thanks for the video. Got my first Victoria pennies today in an online auction. Not as readily available here in the USA.
Always a pleasure to watch your coin hunts, ive learnt a lot from you 😊
Fantastic selection of dates there… more exciting because they were all Victorian!
That was a great haul. Lots and lots of gaps filled. Look forward to the next hunt.
Great Hunt. Always informative. Thanks for another great video.
Many thanks - another great video. Paused and checked my loose 1863's while watching, but nothing unusual with the 3's and no mint marks - might have to look in the box of old Whitman folders just in case - Look forward to the next one !
I always enjoy watching these videos! Good to hear that your main supplier has another batch on the way!
👍- I was just watching this video while checking a few of my old pennies...and found an 1882 without the 'H' - at almost exactly the same time as you mentioned it!
However, there may be a reason for it being without the 'H' - it's rather worn! 🤔
I'll check in daylight tomorrow! 🤞
Enjoyed the show as usual mate, can't beat the old coppers.
More soon I hope Alen. Thanks for watching 👍
Great noodle and I only wish I could get coins to do the same.
I have collected quite a few English coins but our supply in Australia is minimal.
Look forward to the next video.
Regards
Glen Orr
Can’t wait for the next video , I brought coins like you have when I started out collecting then upgraded them as I went along
Thank yoy once more for another GREAT hunt.
So looking forward to the next😊
great video yet again. recently gone through my lot of coins that my grandad had gotten but not sorted through. lot of good finds
Looking forward to the coins from your original mystery supplier! Extraordinary variance in condition in this lot but great spread of dates.
Very nice video! I love the old victorian Penny's and it's very interesting to see how different the conditions of the coins are.
The older coins of that sort of penny always look almost mysterious with the worn down features. Yet another good video! 👍
Hi Paul, thanks again for your effort in getting more coins and keeping the videos coming.I keep hoping that you will find something that you keep on looking for,from JRS.
Been really enjoying the videos and I've now started adding to my collection with some junk shop finds. Also, checked my own childhood collection and it appears I have a 1915 recessed ear with the broken tooth. Unfortunately 10 year old me gave it a bit of a polish.
Another informative and entertaining video. Keep up the good work.
Stunning hunt. Always plenty of information about the coins you sort. Love your content.
For some reason in my primary school we would polish the bun head pennies and bend them in an old iron gate in the playground
Good evening Paul, COIN CO£IN here. How about naming your dirty mug the Mackumulah Mucky Mug? Rolls of the tongue, does it not?
Great vid and information as always. I bought a pre-decimal set for £50 at the car boot yesterday. Longest reigning monarchs. Victoria and Elizabeth 18 coin set in a very nice wooden box. I mainly bought it for 1893 crown as I didn't have a Victoria one. The Penny was from 1897, but sadly no dot.
Another super hunt Paul. Wish I could find a source who takes out the 1967s, I had 17 in a bag of 100 coins a month ago.
Great video!! I love the good old fashioned penny hunts
Wow another great hunt Paul love these penny hunts, do my hunts at booties on a Sunday morning... 😀
Thanks for the reminder Paul, I need to buy new kitchen roll. 😜
Also nice coins 😉
Always informative watching these videos.Thanks
G'day Paul its great to see some more pennies on the board and there is more to come with your normal supplier keep the penny vids coming until your next vid stay safe cheers mate. 👊🇦🇺👍🙏
I love the Victorian penny's but the Edward 7th penny's are my favorite
Just the sound of these pennies clanking together is another much missed sound from my choldhood!
amazing and great quality video as usual, love it, just started getting back into coins after some serious time out of it, ty
A huge support to your chanel man i would like this coins in my collection!
So nice to see a lot of Victorian pennies in the one hunt. My guess is that three of the four pennies left to find will be the 1950, 1951 & 1953 varieties plus one of the Victorian ones
Oh those Victorian coins takes me back. I just wish I’d collected them back in the 50’s
Filling up nicely, love these hunts
Good coin vid. Love to see many Victorian one pennies.
That 1892 is in excellent condition...just love those penny hunt.
i'm new to this and thoroughly enjoying your videos, they bring calm to an otherwise frantic day
Another great hunt. Keep them coming.
Filled up a lot of spaces there , some very nice coins also.
Another fantastic video! Looking forward to the next one.😊
Lots of Victoria gaps filled 😊 Nice one Paul 👍
A Great Hunt again, It's hard to find sellers of just Victorian Pennys.
Tha 1896 in fairly good condition for that year, Should have gone in your Whitman album Paul, I seem to remember you’ve been chasing a superior conditioned one in ages. That made a huge dent in the Victorian years👏Very much look forward to the return of the old supply next week
Yes, I should have put that one in my album. Too late now. Cheers Ian. Yes I hope the pennies turn up this week 👍
Just to add to your Bingo Lines you had two lines going downwards. Thank you for a pleasureable half hour +.
I am always intrigued by the coins with the years overstamped so that an earlier year is still showing. I presume the die was re-engraved (imperfectly) but I can't get the image out of my head of the Royal Mint dragging urchins off the streets of Tower Hill to have them hand punch the new date for a penny a thousand...
Love these videos, I got a 1914 shilling in my change the other day ,I'm well chuffed
Great Victorian pennies some nice finds.
So happy to see a new video, especially all Victorian!
Amazing stuff! I am however not sure about your statement that videos should not be numbered. Rather, if I find a numbered video, I immediately know there's more to watch, which is usually a good thing for me
Great to hear you're getting more coins from your original supplier - these penny hunts are great so it will help you carry on! Happy penny searching! Hopefully the tide won't go out too far!! 😁🍻👍
