Bargain Hunting at Midland Coin Fair! What I Bought!! Rare 50ps and More!

I went to spend some pennies at the Midland Coin Fair in Solihull, Birmingham, at the National Motorcycle Museum!
I bought some silver, some Isle of Man Viking 50ps and some scarce coins from around the world. With the rarest having a mintage figure of just 17,000! We added a new country and a new issuer to the collection!
Check out the bargains that I got while hunting coins at one of the biggest coin fairs in the country.

Wonderful Irish Ten Shilling!! Shall have to be on the lookout for that.
Always learn a lot from you. Thank you!

It's always interesting to see coins from different countries, amazing how much different to our coins some are (like ones with a hole in the middle).
Keep up the good work!
Cheers. Ben

Fabulous purchases LAFTA 😊. Hard to choose a favourite amongst those but I've always loved the IOM longboat designs .

[@paulp4678]

Missed these videos, glad its back!!!

Great little lot of coins there, the 1985 Isle Of Man 50p has a one off stylised Triskelion Privy Mark at the top of the reverse, which doesn't appear on the 1986 & 1987 issues

[@steveufton4669]

some beautiful bargains there mate, i really like the large longboat 🤟

[@johnsaunders5787]

I thought you bought the 1982 crib 50p. Great Video Lafta with some Lovely 😍 Bargains 👍

[@nathanscoincollection4397]

[@CoinChaser1933]

[@mcollects]

[@Darkimperial36]

Congratulations on 10k Lafta^^ 🎉

[@ROBERTSCOIN]

Very nice coins you have there LAFTA you will be catching me up on the Numista map of coins.

[@mackemmoolah]

Very nice pick ups. Pity that IOM 1982 Longboat didn't have the crib privy mark, or that would have been the bargain of the day! 🙂 I also have a 1927 Palestine 10 Mils, but was gifted it by Jude S 😁 Would be nice to find some of the later years, as they have lower mintages. I like that PNG Toea Turtle 👌

[@yvainwalker4504]

Interesting coins! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@glynbratcher5338]

Nice viking coins

[@TCKcricket-co8ex]

I’ve got a question,
Where do you get coins from? I have no idea!
Keep it up!

[@user-hx2ir4xx6l]

Hi Lafta on your picture you arrow what looks like a mint mark on the front of the boat can you tell me what that is please, I rethought I had the full set but I can’t find that one, Les.

[@LAFTA]

It’s the baby crib mintmark. I didn’t realise I had used the wrong image myself until another commenter pointed it out!

[@user-hx2ir4xx6l]

@@LAFTA Hi Lafta thank you for getting back to me I will have to keep an eye out for that one. Les.

Bargain hunting or ripping people off?!

[@LAFTA]

Huh? Buying things from dealers at the prices they have listed is ripping them off? Seriously?
They listed the items at a price they were happy with, they are supposed to be the experts. I'm not going to offer to pay them more than they want, am I?
Am I misunderstanding? Surely that's not what you mean?
