My Uncle's Childhood Stamp Collection W/ Coins & Bank Notes

- My uncle just gave me his childhood stamp, coin and world bank note collection! I had expectations most of the stamps would be in poor shape, which ended up being true. However, I totally loved the coins and bank notes he gave me. I was impressed with how organized his stamps were even if they were somewhat ruined. It is rare to get heirloom items like this and I sure do appreciate he was nice enough to trust me with it. I also love his childhood lunch box he had everything store in.
This was a fun search and I really enjoyed the little surprises he had for me in there. I hope you enjoyed searching through it with me!

that half a crown in 1964 i bought my 1st 45 with it. E R =ELIZABETH REGINA. KING GEORGE VI 1950 1936-1952 Father to Queen ELIZABETH II
Congrats....told ya you would find something! 😊 In fact, especially with Honda, it is likely that you are actually going to be better off and have landed with a great new career that you never would have explored unless forced to. Life is funny sometimes.
Yeah I'm hoping it will all work out for the better in the long run!!
Excellent, thank you. It brings back memories. I still have my childhood collection and it could serve as an example of how NOT to collect, store, and mount stamps. I inherited my dad's stamp collection, collected during the 1930s. I looked with great expectation on exploring it. I was disappointed to find that it had all of the common stamps that every kid in the 1930s had. Nothing valuable except as sentimental value, so I keep and value it for that reason. He had gobs of German Third Reich stamps, which is ironic because he later ended up being a USA combat infantryman in WWII fighting in France and Germany, while he had relatives fighting in the opposing German army.
Wow, what irony! Amazing how things work out sometimes.
Love the lunchbox. The holder flap is for your thermos. The lunchbox is probably from about 1969 or 1970 since that is when we landed men on the moon. Where in New Jersey will you be training? I live in New Jersey. The picture on the South African note is Nelson Mandala. The writting on the back is not French, it is Africaans. GPN is Globe Postal network and it is Italian. The writing on the top of the German note means Allied Military currency and was used by Allied troops. Do you recognize the signature on the Duck stamp? that would have been the owner. I never put a cup on the same table as my stamps. I do not know all the German but geoffnet means that someone has opened it. In the Polish batch there was one Lithuanian stamp.
Thanks for the info! I don't know where in NJ yet, it will be a while until I get to that point I suppose!
Kyle, whenever you're in doubt about latitude and longitude, just imagine belt on your trousers, LONGitude is its lenght, left, right - west, east, and latitude its width respectively.
with that cufflink its brass, and you can clean it with some soap or decalcify liquid and then some BRASSO.
Our local mom & pop movie theater give change with the $1.00 coins and modern issue $2.00 bills. We think it's pretty cool.
That's very cool!
Looks like a cuffling
Hey brotha, how's it going? If you put your uncles's envolopes in the freezer for 20 minutes, the stamps will come free for you. Have an awesome day my friend!!
Thanks for the advice!
Any stamps that are used and stuck you can soak. With the mint ones you could either use a luke warm iron on a towel and slowly warm them up,or just wiggle the packets slightly each way to juggle them and release them. i wouldn't soak any mint stamps/blocks. give it a try.Do you have a hand hair dryer perhaps that would help
Thank you!
Nice assortment of stamps, mainly U.S. from the late 1960s/ early 1970s which reminds me when I started my own collection of U.S. stamps back in these days. 31:05 These are regular British coins (sorry, no silver), and "ER" means simply "Elisabeth Regina" (Queen Elisabeth). Those were coins before the UK implemented decimal currency in 1971, so the old GBP was 240 pence or 20 shillings. The cover at 1:25:05 got German customs opening labels with railway cancellations on the backside, interesting. Bummer that the stamps got some humidity. Greets from GER, U.
I appreciate the info about the coins! I had no idea ER meant that! Thank you.
Hoping this new job works out great for you and you start to really enjoy it in the future.
Thanks Chris, I sure hope so!!
The stuck stamps can be salvaged by soaking but if traded or sold you would have to define them unused wo/gum. Alternately you might be able to salvage them in a sweat box but don't expect the gum to come out unscathed it will most likely end up as disturbed in some manner.
Thanks for your input!
would a luke warm iron help dehumidify the mint ones in the glassines. or he could wiggle them a few times to release the humidity.
You can put the glassine packets in the freezer for X minutes. X depends on temperature of the freezer. Then separate them with tweezers.
Interesting, thank you!
Hi!
I have the same problem with some of grandpa’s stamps. :(
Can I put it’s on the freezer? It works for you?
Thanks a lot @davidmoeller370
@@eduardogarzacanavati3525 I haven't tried it yet. It probably would work otherwise you could soak them in water to separate them.
@@KylesStamps thanks for your answer. Maybe that’s right. But I don't wanna soak mint stamps 😕
Congratulations on the new job. It's tough, but you'll make it. That vintage lunch box is very cool. You should use it everyday to carry your lunch to work. Seriously! Now I'm going to kick back and enjoy your video. Thanks for sharing.
Haha! Thanks David!
Love the lunch box.
It puts a smile on my face!
Me too!
Enjoyable and relaxing video. Beautiful camera focus. Congratulations on your new job.
Thank you!
Soon you will be through the learning phase at work, and I am sure you will be OK and enjoy the job more and more. Good luck and success with your future there! Nice relaxing video again. Was interesting to see all that. I am not a numismatist either, but those coins and bank notes were pretty cool, and some really beautiful. The South African R10 note really took me back to recent years living in South Africa. Saw and used the notes so much, eventually one doesn't even see the detail on them anymore. The language on it is Afrikaans, and not French. Sorry the stamps were so stuck to the glassine. I would not know the best way to loosen them, maybe just soaking, but then you will loose the gum in the mint stamps. But soaking of the used stamps is probably quite all right. Thanks for the video, Kyle.
Thank you so much, Charnie.I'm sure I'll be just fine. My father used to say "When the going gets tough, the tough get going!" 😁 I didn't know you lived in South Africa. That's very cool! Thank you for being so kind and I wish you all of the best!
Thanks! Yes, I am a South African. I was born there, and grew up there. We only relatively recently emigrated to New Zealand. @@KylesStamps
