- I went to a local car boot sale early on a Sunday morning. I bought a wooden box with some coins in it. I paid the asking price of £20. Was it a good purchase?

The bird on the Isle of Man coin is a Manx Shearwater.
Thank you 👍
The Maltese coins show a facsimile of the George Cross, awarded to Malta in 1942 by King George VI. Hence St George and the Dragon.
Thanks for the info Paul 👍
A fun box to go rummage through! Thank you for sharing this with us. 😊 the Canadians definitely 80% silver.
That was like a personal trip down memory lane. I was born in 1971. And our family holidays where always the Isle of Man. A lot of other personal dates there. Really enjoyed seeing the coins .
Nice little pick-up. Glad you allowed us to look over your shoulder while looking through
🤣 👍
Nice little box of coins, the Canadian is especially nice, at .800 silver too. I have had slim pickings at the auction recently, which helps with my self imposed "no buying coins".
I was happy with this lot Matt. Yes, the Canadian half dollar was the star find 👍
@@CoinPatrol 0,3 ozt ASW.
Yeah the Canadian 50p is 80% silver up to 68 dropped back to 50% silver!! Worth about 7.50$, That silver Saint, be praised, it paid for your box today, that pendant is from around 74, 75 my brother got one then new.That 1946 get you a couple of dollars!! GaryBailey 1902 Six pence here would get ya 6.00$ The Moroccan coin is 1951. I have coin boxes of the cupro nickel coins
But have not hardly one of the large Coppers or even smalls, except for the Irish pennies I have a whole set of them!! Gary Bailey
The football clubs came from a set which was issued on the centenary of the FA Cup (although not the winners from the first 10 years or so when it was a mainly amateur competition and was won by such mighty clubs as Old Etonians and Oxford University). These came free with Esso petrol. The date on the other side was the year(s) that the club had won and who they had beaten in the final. I have a set but, being made from cheap metal, they are prone to corrosion
Thanks for the info Roger 👍
@@CoinPatrol ive got a full set
Depends what you’re looking for but i would say it’s worth it especially for the condition of some of them👌 and the Moroccan one is 1950-1951
You got your money back easily, and some interesting coins. Not sure about the box. I guess you could fill it with some old coins you have laying around, you might get £20 for it.
15:37 , 1902 sixpence is 0.925 silver, good luck with your collections.
2:50 MaxPax did the vending machines at swimming baths and sports halls.
If you ever got a warm drink after swimming that was most likely from a MaxPax vending machine.
Thanks for the info Charlie 👍
And Railway stations.
The Caribbean quarter could very well be a SILVER coin of 1956..
That Woolworths recipe probably had very faint print,as over time the ink fades.
The Yes badge is collectable, Yes (prog not pop) have been going from late '60's to the present day.
The Canadian 50-cent piece is 80% silver, and has a silver value of £6.50. You could easily sell it for £8 on it's own. The St Christopher pendant dates from the 1970s or 1960s. That's a nice find. The silver alone more than covers the £20 paid for the whole box. The swiss franc is worth one pound. The 1936 penny is worth a few quid in that condition. A total bargain box. 😊
Notts County beat Bolton Wanderers in the 1894 Fa Cup final. There are 31 coins in the set all FA Cup winners within the 100Years Centenary. complete set is worth $15.00
The animal on the South African 2 Cent coin is a wildebeest. I believe it is known as a gnu in some places. It was very cool to see that come up! Thanks for sharing your new acquisitions with us, Paul!
One question - what is a JPM token? I have a few but I don't know what JPM is or what they were used for.
Oh! And the coin from Asia that you showed us is from Sri Lanka, not India. 🙂
Hi Andrew. JPM International, Ltd. was a British designer and manufacturer of slot machines. They were in pubs form the 1970's. Some paid out jackpots in tokens that you could exchange for items at the bar.
The box may well have nice acoustics, but it’s Sue who has the rhythm of correction😂
She's always putting me right Ian
Another great video ! Lovely 1917 Farthing and '31 Half Penny, with an excellent '36 penny (really great condition) - not to mention all the silver and the Yes Badge, well worth £20 - look forward to the next one !
Nice haul of coins you picked up! Some in cracking condition! Nice one
Looks like a wildebeest on the African coin.
Correct
Nice bit of silver. £20 paid, good value Paul 👍
Wow Paul those coin are on very good condition and it was very surprising to see two 20c Australia coins and one was a 1966 and it a shame it wasn't what is call a wavey line and it would have been made in England if it was.A good mixture of currency nice pick up thanks for sharing cheers mate. 👍🇦🇺🖐
I hear 1933 is a good Penny to look for.....
I have the identical silver saint Christopher here from the 80s which I bought in a jewellery shop , so definitely real silver
Canadian here, 50 cent was 80% silver until 1967.
Spending two weeks running to go to a car boot sale...wow! 🙃
👍
🏃🏃♂🏃♀🤣 Hi CoinPig. I haven't see you around for a while.
@@CoinPatrol I've been jumping up and down and waving my arms at the back of the massive crowd you have here, now!!! 🤸♂🤹♂👏
Love that box. Cheers, John.
A neat find, thanks for the video.
A nice assortment of coins and tokens
The bird on the Isle of Man 🇮🇲 two pence is a Manx Shearwater
The Arabic date ‘1370’ is 1950
Easily £20 well spent Paul 😊
Great stuff 👍🏻
Thanks for the info Andy 👍
50 cents from Canada is 80% silver and about £7 in scrap 👌😁
Cheers Dave 👍
Great video, superb knowledge and also you helped me identify some of my own coins.
Not bad at all. You got your money's worth on the silver alone. Peace love & jello TomCat
Fulmar, then a Wildebeest.
I love your videos, I fined them very informative. (I must fined more time to watch them all). You are definitely not a farmer 🧑🌾 I have never seen a bull with udders! 😂 you have got some lovely coins there.
That yes badge is at least worth a Tenna at least.
I believe that 1370 Hegira is 1951 Gregorian.
My problem is that I would clean them up to the point where they looked new......
THe Canadian 50 cent - 1960 : 3,488,897 mintage... Valued at about $9.80 ..
Paul, I'm hoping that the Irish 1968 1d. is the chickless variety it appears part of the second chicks body is missing, you'd have to put it side by side with a standard 1d to tell. If so worth £15-20 in that condition. You could also look at Tim's Coins he does a specific video on the 1968 chickless variety.
Hi Peter. The chicks on the 1968 penny are all present and correct. I do have an example of the 1942 half chick variety.
The Canadian 50 cent piece is .800 fine silver.
Hi Paul, excellent car boot pick up. The coin you said was from India is actually a 1 Rupee from Sri Lanka 👍
Cheers Ian, thanks for the info 👍
It is the GEORGE CROSS awarded to Malta during the second world war
Did your 45 rpm records have only a small hole in the center, like 33 1/3 albums ?
Yes, they did 💿
Its nice little collection but it saddens me that as a coin collector myself I know that one day my collection will end up being sold in a car boot or by a dealer
I know what you mean, my collection too. But then I think, coins own us for a while, then after we've gone they move on.
@@CoinPatrol True , I hadn't thought of it that way before
Great finds!
That was an amazing 1936 Penny, surly into the Whitman album???
The box looks like an old church collection box.
That yes badge is worth between 20 and 30 quid
The 1907 1/2d is nice. I have a 1905 in similar condition.
Yes, it's in very nice condition for a 1907 👍
@@CoinPatrol I actually have a BU 1902 1/2d, but it has verdigris spots on it!
The St Chris pendent is silver plated. You can see in places where the plating has worn off.
Also when you say, 50% silver, you forget the 50% bronze. If it aint full silver, then its not worth its weight, so to speak.
Does annoy me when (not you) people waving around half silver coins and claiming they are silver.
They are bronze :P
hard to tell, but it looks like the pendent is iron, rather than bronze. (II hope Im wrong)
surely more than doubled your money there Paul... most Coins in cracking condition...
Yes, I was very happy with this lot Ian 👍
7:14 80% silver.
South African 2c - gnu - aka blou wildebeest! That's your prancing pony... animal, whatever!
The Hijri date calculates to 1951 in the present Gregorian date.
Brilliant find 🤩
Moroccan coin is from 1950/51
As the new year starts in November I think 🤔
I'd give you a fiver for the box. 😂
Nice variety 🎉
Cheers 2Cap
50 Francs would have been about five quid, so a high value coin fron 1952.
No. They had a redenomination in 1960. Each New Franc was worth a hundred old ones. So this one became basically 50 centimes?
South Africa 2c is a Gnu. The Guernsey 1 penny is a Gannet,
It definitely is not a gannet!! It's either a fulmar, or possibly a Manx shearwater.
Probably a Manx Shearwater.
I miss the queen
Manx sheer water ?
Canadian 50 cents good find
The Portuguese coin I think is 0.65 silver
Thanks Michael 👍
1968 Guernsey 10 New Pence? I thought we decimalised in 1971...?
Have you never seen UK 1968 5p's and 10p's?? I once saw a lady collector on here, and she was looking at a 1968 10p, and was asking "Is that 1963?". And she claimed she'd been collecting coins for years!!
@@michaellooney1089 I'm still confused. I'm not a coin collector. So...5 ps and 10ps were introduced in 1968 to warm us up for full decimalisation?
Okay, problem solved. From the internet: "Three years before changeover, new 5p and 10p coins were introduced; these were the same size and worth the same amount as the one and two shilling coins."
the 1 rupee coin was from Srilanka and not India as you said
I had a set of those football tokens.
Swiss coins contained silver til very recently
Actually until 67. The 68 franc is not.
Wildebeest ?
that’s a nice find for £20 👍
I recently got my hands on a very large quantity and rarity of old coins, so many i don’t no what to do with???
They are all in separate bags so it’s easy to establish the years etc but i wouldn’t no if or what was maybe worth any value or who to take them too that would know what they are looking at lol.
👍👍
Would you be willing to sell the Chelsea centenary Cup token please
Not Maltese cross it is George cross
how fun that is great
I would be happy for £20
Yes, I was happy with this buy. Thanks Clare 👍
7:31 actually that’s Sri Lanka not India
Chelsea won the FA cup in 1971 beating Leeds in the final. It was the 100th anniversary of the cup. It'll be worth a few quid
One sold on ebay recently £3.50 including postage
Sorry Shedboy, but your wrong as Arsenal won the FA Cup in 71 to clinch the Double
I like coins
Chelsea. beat Leeds United in the 1970 FA cup final.
Ah, the thrill of the hunt!
Hi love your channel I have just started collecting I have an unusual 1861 penny I would like u to have a look at for me
Silver St Christopher pendant. They tend not to hallmark these even though they are sterling silver.
Wildebeest on the South African 2 cents.
If it was a rush badge I'd have given £100.
Absolutely worth it in my book!!! GaryBailey KingofDarkness
Thanks Gary 👍
Give you a fiver for the Yes badge
Silver content will get you out of jail. Bulls don’t have udders
92% silver, just saying.
92.5% get it right!
@@CoinPatrol I rounded it down, I'm sure you rounded it up to 95%
Manx Shearwater.
Could that be silver?
SILVER
That made me laugh😂
Yep, the clue was there 🤣🤣🤣
@@CoinPatrol have you figured out if it is actually silver?

Lovely coins 🪙 you got a bargain there 😊
Yes, I was happy with this lot John 👍
The Rupee you stated as from india is in fact from Sri Lanka/ Ceylon.
The lion holding a sword is a dead give away
If that 1966 Australian 20 cent has a wavy baseline on the 2 in 20, it's worth around $200 - $700.
