    You're not going to believe me, but when you mentioned the Claim of right £2, I checked though my coin collection and found not one... but TWO of them! Today is my lucky day! Thanks :)

    No coin deserves to be in a flip. Especially ones with edge inscriptions. It's not just the look of a coin, it's the feel of it too. It was lovely to see you release the dove. 🕊😀 Great info as usual LAFTA 👍

    I didn't realised there were different Claim and Bill of Right. I've just scurried to my book to check and have two Bills. So will add Claim to my wish list. I do still need Bank of England too. All of them so far I have picked up in circulation.

    Back when I was in 6th form in around 1990, I was working in a local Tesco and someone came in and bought a can of pop and some chocolate with a commemorative £2. I tried to explain at the time that although we could legally take it, they might want to hold on to it for the future. It was, if memory serves, the 1986 Commonwealth Games one, so if it's only worth about £3 or so now, it's probably not so important!

    Great video LAFTA. I love the old £2 but strangely I really don’t like the old £1.
    I also never noticed that the Dove doesn’t have the date on either side! Call myself a coin collector! Shocking 😂

    Hi Lafta, I have a coin question. With regards to Numista does it recognise Ceylon and Sri Lanka as 2 separate countries in Terms of coins or as one country as it's the same land mass only changed name?? 😁👍

    • @LAFTA
      @LAFTA  2 года назад +1

      If it's one land mass then it's one country on Numista Ian. Thanks mate.
