If you are here from the LADBible post please note I did not realise how inflated the prices they were putting on the coins. Also please note I do not sell coins I merely collect to have and put prices up because subscribers keep asking. The prices I put up are a lot less than on that video!
Christopher Collects yep. I noticed the ridiculously inflated values they put on common coins
Love the work buddy your videos are mesmerising don’t worry about the prices they fluctuate like the market much love THE GRIM BLEEPER
Christopher Collects how much is the Rio hand over worth thanks in advance
We're do you get your coins
What's your camera set up?
I'm no expert but It wouldn't surprise me if they were worth at least £2 each.
That's a safe bet 🤣
ive sold em on ebay for 30 quid ,even more common go for 4 quid,strange coin,only non decimals reach such values
Lol rare
mcfcguvnors well you bumped someone there's only 2 coins worth any money and that is Kew Gardens that's worth 80 quid then there the 1983 2p error coin sold in the martini set its worth a grand there is no other coin worth over a tenner if there is 7 million coins out there it is worthless but if there's only 200,000 then it's worth a good bit
Minus the tax.... wonder how many times that has been paid on them by now.
16:25 what everyone’s looking for
How can you not love a person who still uses the word 'crumbs' as an exclamation! Jeepers!! R.
Hahaha! I guess not a lot of people say it haha got to be mindful could be some youngsters watching don't want to set a bad example 🤣
God knows how you ended up on my recommend. Fun to watch though. Might start doing it myself haha
Haha youtube is all knowing read your subconscious haha if you do then join the discord I'd love to see what you get
Christopher Collects I will do my friend, I subbed to you and when I get home I’m gonna watch all your other coin vids haha 👍🏽
I am loving these videos! I've become an accidental coin collector... Just can't seem to let go of interesting ones! hI have some of these, none of the super rare ones but I'm always looking. I work in a shop so switch nice ones for my own boring ones. And there's a lady in the bank who saves nice 50p coins for me.
Oh wow that's awesome! I'll cross my fingers for you 🤞🤞
Why am i even watching this its 2 in the morning
It's strange o'clock haha
Christopher Collects :D :D
Now am doing it got work in 5 hours.
Cliff Mooney the cycle never ends
@@PortRoyale Same here. 2.27 to be exact
That was so fascinating thank you! I thoroughly enjoyed watching....
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed!
plus note the britanta is the rarest coin to find as very low mintage even lower then the england commonwealth.
2015 Britannia is 4th 1st is Commonwealth NI 2nd is Commonwealth Wales and third is 2015 Navy WW1 Centenery
I find this video strangely satisfying. I never look at the coins in my pocket, will have to start looking from now on. Great video.
Awesome glad you enjoyed! Definitely have a look you might just find a rare one!
Great coin hunting, lots of good ones there. I can’t seem to find anything other than the Scotland commonwealth coins, found 3 now but still love all the designs. Great video CC 👍
A nice gentle video. Thank you sir and good luck in your searches
Thank you! 😁👍
Loads of money interesting facts about 2pounds coins loads of different ones 😎
Yes!
Very satisfying. Very relaxing. Cheers mate.
Thank you! 😁👍
Very satisfying video. Great find on the Commonwealth coin. I love people who spend collectable coins as if they're only worth their face value.
Thanks! I like finding them too always that momentary though of could this be northern Ireland haha!
Yes, well I'm one of these people. As a window cleaner, I get passed a lot of coins and I hate being given £2 coins....for some strange reason, I hate them and normally give them away in change asap. I've noticed many times some strange looking coins but had absolutely no idea that I could be giving away better than face value coins. That of course changes as of tomorrow, when I'll be taking a lot more interest in what is passed on to me.
I have a £2 coin now, with a skull and the words ShakeSpear, maybe this is where I'll start paying more attention.
Packing no punches with this one, buddy..
Keep up the great content, lovely finds too..
Haha thanks always nice to find a commonwealth games one!
Christopher Collects
Oh indeed..
You should be on T.V.! then we could turn you off!!😉
How much is the price for the a set of war medals King George v omn 1914_1918 first World War 1
I've held on to all the 'duplicates' I have. When the Royal Mint decides to radically change the coins the older coins will go up in value slightly (ebay is a good indicator of this for average values). Best investments are the coins from 'Euro' countries. Most of their citizens cashed in everything not realising that the DM, Lira, Peseta, Franc etc had a value to collectors. Their loss, our gain.
Oh that's a neat idea!
I find alot of cash when I'm out and about, i give them to my son, he's got a good Foreign coin collection thats worth quite a lot, as I'm in London the home of immigration I find alot of European stuff not euros, they just seem to get ditched found a Bulgarian coin on a bench in a playground last week it has the madora rider on it I think its called, from 1990s fleabay says its worth £1.30 which isn't bad for nothing.
Hes very proud of his collection although I found most of it, nice coins from as far as Mexico and Ghana, to poland and Ukraine.
i used to manage a toll bridge so you can imagine the amount of coinage! I found loads of the undated 20p's, about a dozen Kew Gardens 50p's, loads of different £2 coins and even a full sovereign!! My dad now has a pretty decent collection!!
Oh wow I can imagine! What a haul haha I wonder where the closest toll bridge is to me... I'm going to check on Indeed haha 🤣
kew gardens, everyones looking for that. if you have the 1992-1993 50p your dad's literally 'quids in.'
So glad I found this. It strangely hypnotic!
Haha one of us one of us!
I managed to get that England one too about 2 months ago, nice video again 👍👍👌
Wow nice one! Thanks I was chuffed to find it!
My right ear enjoyed this :)
🤣
mine too
I'm like you! I'm on the hunt for coins I've got a good stash too.. good luck with finding your rares!
Thanks! I hope you find the ones your after. You can join the discord and show us your collection I'd love to see them
@@ChristopherCollects apart from our English coins I like to collect the baliwick coins too. I need one 50p Jemima puddleduck can't seem to find in my change🤔 I found a 10p with fishes about a month ago in my change from my local chippy I lost it but then last week found it again hidden in the corner of my handbag! Is there any coins I should be looking out for more rarer in the £2s I have more or less the same coins as you just not as many 😂
I like your voice lol I can watch your coins collection hunt for hours lol. God bless you.
Thank you I'm glad you enjoy 😁
great video, some really good finds! i just got a hms belfast coin today!
Oh nice one such a nice coin to pull!
Bethany Barratt b
Most, have never passed through my hands - great to know they are actually out there. Great collection X
Thank you good luck with your hunts!
Isn't synchronicity wonderful. You went to the bank with no intention of doing a run but end up behind someone handing over these £2's, Huge amount of finds :-)
I know sometimes fate aligns haha!
Got a Brunel portrait last night in change, my first £2 since I began looking for them a couple of weeks back :-)
Very nice start there! Good luck with more finds!
Thank you Christopher, would like my next find to be an Olympic or Commonwealth, The Magna Carta is one of my favs also so I would be happy with that :-)
Steve O' 71 rear two pound coins
Some nice finds in that coin run. I have also found 2 of those fakes in the last couple of weeks.
They look so strange really stick out haha!
This is clever by the Royal Mint. By making coins collectable like this, they make more money by taking them out of circulation. You have just spent a £100 or less on coins that you're not going to use. Clever on the RM part.
Good video...would be great if you could run through the value of the coins you find at the end
In my more recent videos I've been putting the values in. I avoided it to begin with because people always seemed to get funny with me talking about values
Ni 25 wales 12 england 10 scotland 9 hope tht helps u
Christopher collects is there any way you can mail to list what coins that are worth value and how where to sell them I have a few random coins around would be cool to know about the rare ones thanks
Needing about 10 to finish my 2 quid collection.you pulled half of them out ya jammy get ...lol...great vid matey..
Oh good luck with that then! I'm only after one but it's alluded me for too long now haha I will find it though!
most of them i see 1st time on my eyes , They awesome same as Your video good job
Thank you!!
Thanks for another great video Christopher, Richie.
Thanks that means a lot! 😁
I made the news with my eBay account my defected coin . And just found some Florence Nightingale 2010 coins where the writing on the rim is back to front on two of them. on the other three they're facing the other way I'm not sure which one is the defect so I'm considering selling them as a job lot or 5 ?
Haha nice one! The writing on the rim being the other way around is quite common to find I'm sorry to tell you
Christopher Collects thanks for sharing that , is that with all coins or just that £2 coin?
Christopher Collects on my £1 2016 coin the Queen's crown goes off the silver and onto the gold part of the coin.
The edge inscription is applied first to a planchet and then the design is struck. So, there is no such thing as upside down writing, the orientation of the edge is completely random. I have no idea which moron on eBay came out with the myth of upside down writing but it means that if you are interested in error coins, you have to wade through this drivel first.
@@stephensilverstein629 ddwdwdwesqd
When I did the £1 challenge I phoned my local Royal Bank Of Scotland and asked if they'd help me (I was competing with family lol). They set me up with a side room in the branch and let me go through ALL the £1 coins they had! They even gave me coffee while I sat there for hours...my fingers were gross by the end of it :D They all thought I was mad and the whole thing was funny :) It was really fun and my brother made lovely hand crafted wooden settings for the complete sets :)
Wow that's amazing! I can imagine how dirty they were haha!
Ever heard of gloves???
Knowledge man ~ Ever heard of doing something once and not anticipating a relative factor? It's not like I had done it before...or since.
@@ChristopherCollects nice one

Hi christopher. Do you sell any of the coins that you already have on- line or do you swap then at coin meets/fairs.
I did sell them on eBay but the fees have changed for me which puts me off using eBay going forwards so I am looking at alternatives
Hi, I trying to work out this thing with the rare slavery coin. If it’s laid down, with the queens head upper most. Should the words be readable on the side. Or should they are upside down.
The words can be either way up that's quite common. The rare slavery one has a smooth surface with a mint mark on it
Was that gold one not worth keeping as it was an error?
It looked like a 1 metal error but on closer inspection it's just a fake sadly
You guys in the UK are lucky that you have so many circulation issued commemorative coins.
Yes we are where are you from?
The USA.
I have a charles dickens £2 coin from 2012. Some sell on ebay for afew pound were as others sell for afew thousand. Whats the difference
There's been a big thing about it. It's just sensationalist news not to be trusted sorry
Something more riveting than trainspotting...well impressed.
got some good ones in there i always thought about going bank to bank doing this but i find it a bit like cheating feel better getting it in my change as it more luck. plus they are really worn a lot of them not best condition i like mine with not a scratch on it.
Fair enough each to their own. How do you get them in pristine condition from shops though?
true am not trying to say anything bad as that is what my grandad told me to do go bank to bank but never did. and sometimes do find a nice crisp clean one in change every now and then but it a lot rare to find one. need to find the date of when the new coin comes out then go to bank get a better chance of getting a nice shiny new one fresh from the press. have you been to royal mint experience yet.
@@giggity4670 you kinda just messed up there you will never get one without a scratch (the still rub together in the till) causing minor ones
right ear loving the voice left ear loving the music
Haha I've figures how to fix that now still a bit of a newbie 🤣
i kind off like it
Hi Christopher. I've got 3 of the Commonwealth games coins for England, Wales & I think..Scotland. Any idea of a rough value?
Depending on getting the right buyers between £8-£20 more for the lower the mintage
I work in a bank and this is my fav thing to do at the end of the day when balancing! Only recently started collecting but my collection has grown so quick all ready
Wow very nice you should join the discord chat an show us your finds!
Surly that's cheating customers lol 🤣😂 definitely a perk of the job.
Nah not if it's just one till if your searching all coins that come into the branch that would be a bit different haha
Bonnie Nash I actually rarely give out £2 coins, I mainly have customers come in to exchange bags for cash
What determines that they are worth more than face value? Puzzling...presumably because only 50,000 Mary Rose were minted? People think Penny Blacks are rare and they're as common as a box of matches. Unless they're mint of course...coins need to be ' uncirculated ' surely?
It's all based on mintage figures as you said. Yes Penny Blacks are not cheap haha but they are especially special being the first adhesive postage stamp I guess
A rare coin has a value of say £5 but the SAME Coin in un-circulated condition will often [referred to as Mint Condition] be worth £1000, it is like any collectible item, from a tin toy, artwork or a plain old second hand car, value is all to do with condition. Some collectors will never collect anything other than Mint or Proof Coins, proof coins are selected by the Mint [Gov manufacturer] from the un-circulated coins off the press and then they are boxed and sold on to the public via an offering in the press for 10 x face value or more. Hope that helps.

@@apartmentswales True...thanks for the information although most of it I've heard many times. You certainly seem to know your stuff...my point about stamps rings true though...most people think a Penny Black is worth a lot of money and that simple isn't true of all Penny Blacks. Many very poor examples which are HEAVILY franked can be bought very cheaply. Others which are 'clean' franking wise are worth considerably more. Sometimes with these'newer'coins I get the feeling a market is almost created by word of mouth and then it gathers speed when really there's not much substance to the market at all. people are pretty gullible about these things. I'm constantly amazed by the way 'Royal Wedding' coins are pushed as being a great investment when in reality millions are sold and are pretty worthless...witness Charles&Dianna in 1982...a coin dealer i spoke to said he is offered dozens by punters who believe they are worth a fortune because they are 'uncirculated' but of course they simple aren't.
@@frankburns8946 Well Frank, Coins, Stamps, Gallery Art, Property are all being Sold with a Sales Pitch and all Sales Pitch offer a promise. it's going to be a great deal for you the Investor.

13:09, that looked like a single metal coin (on my dodgy laptop).
Richie Wisbey yes I'm seen that too.
Richie Wisbey I think it might be u have poster a better picture of it in my discord if you want to come and check
Love ur videos

Hi where can I get the little inserts to show which coins I’m looking for?
What was with the one at 13:08?
A fake one sadly
Christopher Collects aah,ok thanks.
zakky boi qq
I've listed a 2p coin covered in mis-stuck defects never seen a coin like it before so no idea of its worth . It's a new pence 2p coin.
Oh that sounds interesting
It depends on what date if it is 1983 or 1973 it is worth some think but if not it is worth 2p your welcome
Jace Deakin mines 1975 but I have loads of 1973 1972 and 1971 NEWPENCE coins too . We found a box full of them that were left over in a house clearance.
Jace Deakin as far as I've researched only the 1983 NEWPENCE from the set is worth 400+ but we will see. Something is only worth the amount someone wishes to spend on it.......
Jace Deakin Miss struck coins are worth way more than face value with any date on!
I got £25 for brand new 2p that was messed up!
Being from the U.S. I do not know British coinage. Is there a website that would give helpful information about the symbols and history on these two pound coins?
Oh yes try this one: www.changechecker.org/find-a-coin.aspx I quite like American coin hunting so much history and old coins still in circulation and to be able to find silver is amazing!
i dont know how i got here, but i didnt think id be disappointed at 10:00 and then excited that you had 500 more xD
Haha glad you enjoyed!
How much are all of theres £2.00 worth. (William Shakespeare skull)
And ( The first world war)
Shakespeare skull is only a little more than face value 1st WW Army is only face value the navy one is more though
I have a 1986 Commonwealth Games one
Oh wow very nice!
Every time I go to my post office I get rare 50ps it’s like Banksy’s set up some undercover art installation 😂
Excellent!
Thank you! 😁👍
How much would a dictionary 50p be so i can sell it
Face value I'm afraid
Wow you are so lucky
Thanks!
Omg you are the first RUclipsr that has ever replied to me
@@cringykida.k.aleiaschultz6241 Chris loves his subs and still always replies to us
Mr Nightmare jr you just got another subscriber
My latest 500 pound 2 pound coin go thru gave me (1) the Wales Commonwealth coin to go with my England and Scotland and (2) a spanish $10 peso - which they replaced. One I wished to get was the Shakespeare Skull one cos it looks hella cool.
Oh wow nice finds! I'll cross my fingers for you I see the Shakespeare's tragedies quite often
Hi, what you doing with all those non-Tech £2.00 coins that are only just above face value? Is it really worth it if they're only worth 20p or 50p more. It must take a while to sell them?
How do you know which coins are worth more than face value?
I used to sell them before eBay fees got silly. I keep an eye on eBay auctions to stay in the loop though
ebay
Would have been nice if you had given us an estimate of the total value of the haul.
That's a good shout I put approx values on my newer videos though
The total value is £1,000
I love these posts its very relaxing to watch 🧐
Thanks!
I have a Charles dickens £2 which seems to have 3 defects on.
1.The stars round the queens head only go half way round.
2.something will turn up is upside down.
3.The word WILL is spelt WIII.
Do you think it could be worth more then face value if so how much?
Erm it's tough to say the dots missing is quite common and writing around the edge being upside down happens a lot too. If you join the discord and post a picture we can have a look
@@ChristopherCollects new to channel how do i join?
What if you have a scahawien Indian dollar icon with no date on the head side and 1621 on the back? :-)
I have no idea sorry
I spent a Kew Gardens 50p on crisps.......didn't realise its value was a bit gutted when i found out lol!
Oh no! If they were frazzles that would be worth it though
Transformer snacks unfortunately lol!
Hmm still tasty haha they are my wife's favourite crisps
Mine too :) I mix the beef and cheese n onion together.
Daisy Lea I've had the 2 types peter rabbit,Roger Bannister,issac Newton,2WW with planes ,Kew gardens.A tower high barbed wired.And loads more but like you i spent them..Lols
Cool👍👍👍
😁👍
I own 2 convenience stores and come across these every day! They are a lot more common than what this video portrays!
A lot are very common but commonwealth games isn't
my left ear is lonely
Sorry but of a rookie editor ive gotten better though
Christopher Collects no worries mate, great video, very entertaining!
Can you do this with 50p and can you try and find the Tom kitten one that my friend has
I post 2 50p hunts every week
Oh
I will watch them!
Just starting watching today, think your videos are great! With your £2 and 50p books, if i was to start one myself, can you point me in the right direction to a full list and images of what coins I need to find?
Damn your so lucky. Other than some of last years and this coins. That and the Wales commonwealth ones are all i'm missing. I will find one :)
Wow your almost there! Keep going it is out there haha!
I have a Wales commonwealth £2 coin if you're interested?
What would you like for it ?
So how much is each one worth?
Really depends I'm going to trial putting values up during the videos this week though
my new asmr
🤣
Made me look at a £2 I have,it is a (2014 Kitchener, but it has a mint error, the U on the You isn't level, the writing is upside down when the Queens head is facing up, and there are no dots above her head.
The writing on the edge being the other way around and missing dots are quite common to find sorry
Nice video
Thank you I'm glad you enjoyed 😁
So can I just ask for coins from the bank? Like get money out in coins... I’ve been collecting coins for awhile only just finding this out lol 🤣😑
Yes most bank will do it for you
@@ChristopherCollects No you need to hold an account with them, before they will do it
Why did I just watch 17 minutes worth of two pound coins?
I'm not sure I hope you enjoyed though
@Jimmi K i never found out dude...i am still trying to climb out of the rabbit hole! I haven't been to work for 2 months!!! (help)
I’ve just got a sealed bag full of paddington at towervof london, should I ebay it?
I find these videos strangley satisfying
Haha thank you!
a waste of time
.
The fake £2 coins are starting to appear everywhere now and I saw a few coins you where getting where fake
Yea I get a few of then some less obvious than others
Yeah these coins are not mint. So worth little
Yea not as much as mint condition but a few are worth more than face value
Love the video 👍.. I have the 1945-2005 £2 st Paul's cathedral coin with the 3 minting errors, what is the real value, as such a crazy range of prices on ebay..Thanks Rob
Great Video
Thank you!
I have a collection and I had the rugby one and I got really excited and then you just find and your like meh😂😂😂😂
Sadly they are quite common. I still get excited to see will in coins that I like though
I really like your channel thank you for replying because you are my first youtuber to reply so I will stay subscribe for a while and i also have a mr Jeremy fisher coin
Great video 👍🏻
Thank you!😁
What do you do with all the regular and coins you have multiples of. send the straight back to the bank?
Yea I pay them into another bank so I don't get the same ones twice and the other bank has a coin counter which makes life easier
Christopher Collects Does the banks coin collector charge a fee like the supermarket ones did?
Mine doesn't but a lot of them might do
can i have the ones you're not collecting? haha
Haha nice try 🤣
The time is 08:52AM, I have been awake nearly 24 hours... Why am I watching this?
(No disrespect to the video I am actually enjoying it, but wtf am I doing with my life? :D )
Haha i find the same with Pokemon card opening I've not had Pokemon cards since the 90s but I swear I can smell that fresh card smell watching the videos very odd haha 🤣
what swaps would you give for the Rio Olympic handover?
Is the Ireland commonwealth £2 worth much?
Oh yes NI commonwealth is £24-£32 which is nice! I wouldn't swap it's the hunt that I enjoy
the abolition of slavery one has a mint error where the writing on the rim of the coin is facing the wrong way up where it should be facing queen side it can be worth £609
Sorry that's very common to find on all £2s it's just the way the coins are minted there's a 50/50 chance of it being one way or another
ok thanks
When you see him getting all the coins you need. 😭
I'm sorry come over to the discord and you can show me the ones your getting that I need seen so many people getting the A-Z 10ps I'm very jealous haha
Can I have some
I have £80 worth of diffrent £2 coins im so unsure of what to do with them. How do i find out the value for each one? Ebay dont seem to help as they sell at all diffrent prices. Just an hour ago i got a £2 magna carta 1215 - 2015 whatever that is. Oh well another to add to my collection
Have a look at eBay and filter to finished auctions for a good estimate. You could join the discord too we can give you an idea of value
EASY Do the maths, 2x80= £160
@@sonnyday6210 he has £80 worth of £2 coins meaning he has 40 times £2.
@@wdj_9974No he has £1000 worth of £2 That's what they are worth £1000😀
how much is a 2015 Britannia coin worth to sell?... also will the value increase with the writing being upside down with the queens head face up?
About £3-£5 I'd say. The writing being the wrong way around if very common sorry
so why did you say kerching in the video when you found one?, £5 is not worth holding onto £2 for realy, as much as I love my Britannia coin, i'd rather spend it towards bus fair to important job interviews than hold onto it for the sake of £3 profit which would get eaten up in postage, ebay and payapal fees etc, by the time youve done all that youve only made 1 or 2 pounds, I realy thought it would have a better profit than that!
never Looked at a £2 coin: all I'm bothered about is cashing them in
That's fair enough not everyone's cup of tea
Guess what I'm doing I'm doing 450 pounds worth
Oooh good luck 🤞🤞🤞
Christopher Collects I commented on another vid on sponges world and it showed the coins I got from my 40 pounds
On my 2nd channel
Not on this channel
Oh I see ill check it out after work then!
I actually found this very interesting 👍👀
Thank you! 😁👍
This is the first video that I wat he'd from you I just seen it in my recommended
Great video. When shall we see a £1k 50p coin hunt? Looking forward to see that to happen. Hehehe
I might do that at some point but that would be a marathon video haha!
Christopher Collects I dont mind. I like watching your videos and I feel excited everytime you see a variant coin and describe something about it and for me to discover that the coin is valued more than the face value. I just started to like this hobby two weeks ago and I'm learning a lot from you guys. Thanks
Lyndon Carino thank you that means a lot! I love finding different coins especially ones I haven't seen before. I'm glad your getting I to coins I hope you find so e brilliant ones! If you find an A-Z 10p before me I'll be very jealous haha!
Fake £2 coins also have some value to them
I wonder how much it would be haha
Christopher Collects it wasn't fake it was just very old when they made it with different materials
