    Seeing Britannia 500 times still makes me smile, as the search continues and you keep finding those great coins and supplying us all with some great collector information!
    I hope you managed to complete your own album as well, or otherwise find some upgrades! Very generous to give away all and am looking forward to the next!

    Your old penny hunts are one of my favourites so having a hunt for over an hour was bliss. Thank you. 👍😊

    Great hunt! Nice to see Britannia again in all her glory. Made me think back to the pennies I had as a kid (still in an album somewhere) and which dates I might have to fill gaps on the board! The Prince Edward token was an interesting Cinderella! Had me hitting Dr. Google there as well. Cheers!

    Many thanks for the Farthing coin hunt - will have to look back at previous ones. I started collecting again after finding part of my late fathers penny collection and bought a couple of small coin albums containing Farthings and Half Pennies. Have a full date run (and filled the old Albums up with duplicates) but have not looked at variants yet - so 1864 was really interesting to see. Hope you can complete the board !

    Nice one! Always enjoy your videos. Oddly, I quite like 1967 Britannia, year I was born! At a guess I 'd think the dates on the Canadian tokens were the years they became provinces?

  • @staceygrove7295
    @staceygrove7295 2 года назад +1

    Thanks Paul, I felt your enthusiasm dip as the first couple of '67s passed through your fingers but fortunately it picked up a bit later even though they continued to appear. Anyway it's cool to see Britannia still is a Metal Guru after all these years.

    Brittania. Was watching on my smart tv. I got onto iPad to be sure and subscribe. I picked up very many of these and half pennies the other day in Indianapolis. My oldest is 1877. BTW. Metal Guru! I am also a TRex fan. Cheers from Vincennes, Indiana.

    (Edit: I'm going to have to say Britannia because you've brought back some wonderful memories and I'd like to finish my collection!) Oh wow, this brings back memories. We went through bags and bags of these with my great grandad to find one from each year, the ones we didn't want got disposed, we didn't look for anything fancy like recessed ears or other details. I wish we could go through them all again!
    Just thought I'd add I still have them all and all of the other coins I collected, I've just decided to start going through them after decades in storage.
    The nostalgia is too strong I've gone and dug them out. Thank you for the memories.

  • @yellowlighthouse3057
    @yellowlighthouse3057 2 года назад +2

    Quite a fair result for 500 with loads of 1967's. It's really interesting to see how the figure of Britannia has remained on our coins from almost the start of British coin history to the present day. Also metal Guru's seems like a long time ago haha.

    as i think i said before in one of your previous penny hunts, its inspired me to check out some old tins of pennies thast my dad and grandad had collected. some good finds including 10 x 1918 pennies. 8 with the KN mint mark and 2 with the H mint mark. 1 x 1919 KN Mint mark.. better get checking all the rest

    @2coinaphrase121 2 года назад

    Fantastic Paul. An epic video, but not too long for the Metal Gurus 😉 My favourite Britannia out of all of these has to be the 1892 lighthouse as it was the year Newcastle United was formed. ⚽️ I’d love to own one of those, i think it would actually be the oldest coin my collection.

  • @scottanderson2788
    @scottanderson2788 2 года назад

    I don’t know how you remember all the differences with the old penny’s high tide low tide on the Britannia etc. I need to free up more time to watch your videos! I always enjoy them and I don’t mind the long length of this video. Keep posting.

    Quite a few penny dates that I don't have. The Britannia is a great design. We are all Metal Gurus! 😁 but being a 20th Century Boy, I love to Boogie 🕺🏻😂. That 1844 halfpenny or 1/26th of a shilling may be worth a bit.

  • @auntieauddie

    @ferrarip4561 2 года назад

    500 glorious Britannias with some foreign oddities thrown in as well. Glad we did get to see a nice date run and I would say not an insane amount of 1967s so we did get some variety, and a very nice video as always.

  • @herbidaceous
    @herbidaceous 2 года назад

    Another super video and definitely not too long. Perhaps Britannia will be persuaded to make a proper coinage comeback under Charles III (or should that be George VII after what he allegedly said in an interview in the Times many years ago?). Sadly, though, I can remember when Metal Guru was first released as a single in 1972 - 50 years ago!!
    Statistics (if anyone is interested!):
    There were 522 'coins', including the tokens, Irish, halpennies etc. - Average coins found per year of reign when coins were minted:
    Victoria: 2.2; Edward VII: 6.3; George V: 6.5; George VI: 5.1; Elizabeth II: 19.1.
    Commonest years and percentages:
    Victoria: 1900 (15), 17.5%; Edward VII: 1907 (15), 11.4%; George V: 1919 (15), 28.5%; George VI: 1938 (11), 12.2%; Elizabeth II: 1967 (Unsurprisingly!) (76), 30.5%

    As kids in the early 50's we were always looking for Honolulu pennies. You just had one dated 1992. It is the trident on Britannia and it was resting on her lulu. They must have moved it later after complaints😮😢 Tom O'Neill

    To the Metal Guru, no Britannias on the Canadian tokens, but the dates are probably marking their conception as states of Canada?
