When I was a kid my mother had a 1953 Coronation Crown in its presentation case. It was kept in a drawer and I would often take it out just for the pleasure of looking at it. My mum hinted that it was very valuable and that it must always be put back in the drawer afterwards. She passed away 8 years ago and during clearing up I found the Crown in the same drawer it had always been. I hadn't seen it for 30 years. What memories it brought back and yes ! I did tear up.. Her great " treasure " as she always thought of it was as you say worth only £2 or £3 .....but priceless to me. 🙏 RIP Mum.
Ice video. My dad collected coins as a little hobby when he got sick. I collect coins whenever I travel now and leave them at his grave when I go visit him.
That 1916 penny could have spent its life in a child's forgotten money box, saving itself a lot of wear and tear. My dad had a money box that his mum had sitting in her house somewhere until she died. Inside were all sorts of out of date coins which he reckoned had been sitting there for over 20 years.
Found a lovely gothic florin a few weeks ago detecting and last week found a silver hammered and a silver Roman coin from third century I believe…waiting for the correct ID from PAS.
Hi Paul, At 12:43 you had a 1926 & 1918 farthings, after 1918 when the Gold standard was dropped, farthings ceased to be blackened. Your 1926 farthing seems to be the same colour as the 1918, was the 1926, struck from a blackened blank? and if so does this make it a rare variety?
Any "silver" coin minted between 1920 and 1946 contains 50% silver. A half crown contains 7g, florin 5.6g, shilling 2.8g, sixpence 1.4g, and threepence 0.7g of silver. You can usually get spot for 50% silver coins. The sterling silver coins minted 1919 and earlier carry a higher premium.
Thanks very much for this interesting vid. I did like the coin depicting the D Day aircraft towing the gliders with the parptroopers ready to land. The three stripes on each wing were white paint markings which was a code. Any aircraft without them was the enemy.Tanks again.
I've seen the hands EEC 1973 50p coin go for £3 on eBay even in that condition. To think they were minted in their millions and go for up to 6 times their face value is just crazy.
Definitely a bargain, as there are some silver and half silver coins amongst them. The condition of some of the older coins were better than the more modern ones! Nice upload Paul 👍
Hi, thanks for watching. I just use my phone camera. It's an HUAWEI p20 pro. It's over 4 years old now so I maybe upgrading soon. But I'm quite happy with the results at the moment 👍
I love looking at someone coin collection no matter how small it was the collectors pride and joy as mine is to me so much history in these coins many thx
I have an 1898 British penny I found metal detecting in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, at a mid 1800's homestead. A little worn and some staining on the reverse from years in the peat. But overall, it was protected from corrosion by the peat.
Had a valuer come to see my dad's collection which weren't worth very much but he did offer me £50 for a collection of modern day coins which I declined. Counted through them and totalled £137........ He also had bags of mint old ten pence and five pence pieces as well as a few bags of 1967 pennies.
Wow... Mums just died in January and I have found literally hundreds of similar coins in tins in her wardrobe. Going to have to get them looked at by someone in the know. Literally holding history in my hands.
That was an incredible eBay find. I live in Canada, so they're a lot less common and a lot more expensive to get British coins here (especially the predecimal), so maybe I'm just used to seeing higher prices, but the values you're estimating are way below any I've ever come across!
Growing up in the 60's us kids were always looking and hoping to find a 1933 penny. It was said only a dozen were minted and several were still in circulation and would be worth a million pounds!
That 1916 penny is incredible condition, if it has signs of some type of wear I would find it hard to believe and maybe polished, when you said about over or under valuing, I said to myself a lot of the coins seem to have been cleaned. Only you can tell as the coins need to be in your hand to know. You do really good photo work though if on a cell. I saw your post on how you do it but yet to try it myself.
I was given coins by my grandmother & I collected anything unusual as I went…I never really studied what I have & most of it is in bags to separate good ones from rubbing or touching other metals. I got a book & one day I need to sit down & look at what I have.
Yeah I Have all those Crowns except the 80th, none of the commerative 50p, love the 2 and 1 p coins, Absolutely love those Wonderful Coppers, and you got some nice Silver also!!! Gary Bailey
92% is not solid silver, however there is enough variety in pre 1920 crowns, half crowns, double florins, florins and shillings to disregard all the cupro and copper dross.
You definitely got a bargain there Paul 👍 I wonder how many of your viewers, when you are penny hunting, shout at the screen " no mint mark" I do 😂😂😂 happy hunting x
A nice selection of British coins well worth the money. Just a few in good grades of interest to a collector. The 1916 penny is excellent and possibly given by somebody who saved it as new. It certainly doesn’t fit with others of the similar dates that are in poor condition. Low values would be a temptation to save but as you go up there is a temptation to use as money when hard up. I made a similar set when a boy and the condition would be the same, so I guess it was from an estate after someone passed away. Certainly undersold at 12 pounds when you look at some silly asking prices
i have a 2012 royal shield 50p in circulation coin in fair condition,any idea of value please PS i’m not a collector or knowledgeable about currency but i enjoyed this video 👍.
You sure do seem to know all the variations of each year of the pre decimal coins. I've got a big tin of old stuff I've never really got in properly because I don't know much about them, need to do some studying lol
After postage they only would have ended up with the face value of the modern coins in their hand. They should have just sold the silver and cut down on postage
Is that true about the hands EU there were some that had the wrong amount on them? It was a mistake or something as there was a country not included. I do have something in my mind that it was said it was untrue but you know what rumours are like!
How many silver jubilee crowns were made? I remember *every* schoolkid in the country getting one back in 1977. I thought they were amazing! Almost turned me into a coin collector.
That's a VERY nice 1916 1d, but it should have been immediately separated from the others. I have a very nice 1915 1d (cost me 10p), but not as good as yours!
Free postage Paul. When I buy stuff from eBay postage costs is the first thing I look at. I was caught out once on high postage fees. Never again though. Thanks for watching 👍

Many thanks for the heads up / I will be scouring my youngster's self-collection of many old coins & "WHO" knows? Great video. Keep them coming!

A great EBay find Paul, anybody would be delighted with only paying £12 for those.
Great stuff Coin Patrol 👍🏻
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - love these old pre-decimal coins.
Any "silver" coin minted between 1920 and 1946 contains 50% silver. A half crown contains 7g, florin 5.6g, shilling 2.8g, sixpence 1.4g, and threepence 0.7g of silver. You can usually get spot for 50% silver coins. The sterling silver coins minted 1919 and earlier carry a higher premium.
That was a nice haul Paul. You certainly manage to find those pre-decimal coins. Looking forward to your next mammoth penny hunt

Great buy Paul. Some great coins in super condition. Well done mate,
Love the way you enjoy your coins, i would like to know what is the best way to store your coins, as I do not want them destroyed by plastic wallets.

Nice find. It was a long way from home.
What is peat?
@@user-mi4yc7pr3x Thick decomposing vegetation in a damp environment.
@@vernowen2083 wouldn't that destroy the coins?
@@user-mi4yc7pr3x It prevents oxygen penetration and corrosion just like the wood chips in a playground, prevents penny corrosion.

There's a scarce version of the Churchill crown worth looking out for, it has a CH mint Mark if I recall correctly.

The 1933 is not the rarest Penny.
Nice...i think you put fair prices....I like the silver three-pence, The 1916 penny is pretty sweet find, You got a bargin there mate.

Hi Paul, great batch of coins for a good price I sent an email yesterday did it come through ?
Brilliant video CP, not sure on prices but I will go with your estimate matey well done 👍
Great pick-ups!! Enjoyed seeing some coins I don't see very often over here in Canada! Thanks for sharing!
A great purchase Paul, I still love the little farthings with the wren on them
A random collection and just the sort of thing I like doing. Take a chance and have a go. Entertainment value to be added to your coin total! 👍😎🌸
You certainly make coin collecting look fun👍
Well worth £12 for the coins. The album was for Business cards not coins. Nice one Paul 👍

You definitely got a bargain there Paul 👍 I wonder how many of your viewers, when you are penny hunting, shout at the screen " no mint mark" I do 😂😂😂 happy hunting x
I have a William 3 sixpence which has black on one side. Anyone know if it Can be removed?
With the coins that are a little bit dirty, do you soak them in anything and/or use a very soft toothbrush to clean or just leave as is ?
I think some of the toning is from the coins getting hot and becoming wet in the sleeves.
Excellent purchase some lovely coins. You definitely did well for your money👌👍
Instead of PVC what would you recommend?
Looks like you had a very good buy there. The 16 is a stunner and possibly worth a few pounds more than the £5 to the right person.
If you think that 1916 Shilling is good, you should see the one I have, virtually BU, got it from a dealer several years ago for £4.
A nice selection of British coins well worth the money.
Just a few in good grades of interest to a collector.

You should wipe those coins over with acetone to remove any acid from the PVC. This will not clean them.
Great condition on a number of them
Even the humble modern penny could be a quid where a date runner wants a better example

About a tenner if it's in really good condition

That package is a winner. Nice coins.
Very nice I have coins also of different countries. Thank you for the video. From Canada.
A £12 album opened with a £1 pair of scissors from Poundland, Bargain. Any time you can treble your investment is a good investment.
Great buy...the disintegration of the album is cool...
I believe the post-1946 stuff to be more-or-less worthless, but you are correct re the other valuations (imo).
I was born in 1960 and remember all those coins in circulation, including the unveiled head of Queen Victoria.
Whats the market like for old German coins? Love the vids!
What do you store your coins in?
I wouldn't be able to value those coins but as long as you made a profit, that's the main thing. The George V shilling was a lovely coin
I think you payed a good price for that little haul Paul. Stay safe and hunt on buddy 👍👍👍👍👍
Would definitely like to know what you got once fees were paid etc
Miles over estimated from 1940 onwards, that 1940 3d was the star.
The star was the 1916 1d.
Nice 1916 Penny. I’ve not seen the detail as clear as that before. Profit or not . It was like a little boy @Xmaa😂😂
It's difficult to see any profit at all in this when you factor in the time spent buying, sorting, listing and reposting this stuff
No interest in coins......but i found this fascinating...Thankyou....
That's a VERY nice 1916 1d, but it should have been immediately separated from the others. I have a very nice 1915 1d (cost me 10p), but not as good as yours!
Are you re-listing any of these coins? I would bid
Nice video going through all my old coins now found a bunch of 1806 pennies in good condition can I retire ha ha
Looks like the owners grandkids (or similar) took all the 20p + coins to spend on sweets. They didnt understand crowns.

u had a 47 florin ,is that not all silver.and a 40 sixpence ,ho i found a 44 half penny 2day seems u r doing well with the silver
Needs to be before 47 down to 1920 are only 50 percent silver,all coins before 1920 are 925 silver👍
@@clivewilson5258 i know its the same as a 2 bob but because its a florin i thought it was all silver
The 1916 penny catalogues at US$20-25. It alone is worth your cost.
Yes, that was the best coin.
The 1916 Shilling was good too.
Well worth it......I love those large of British coins. Big deal when i was a kid.
That 50% 3d and farthing was nice and everything after that was OK.
£12 was a good deal from thereon
