Our Crown Royal bag held scrabble tiles, second drawer in the buffet..........memories.
My dad sold gold and silver so there was always crown royal bags around the house with money in it. Dad would use it to separate the silver coins and some times the gold. I even used on as a purse when I was little. Diffrent times.
As an American in Hawaii, there's an empty Crown Royal bag around here somewhere.
One of ours had marbles and the other had random game parts and dice.
Ours had scrabble tiles too.
The extent of your knowledge never ceases to amaze and impress me!
Wow....a bag with lotsa money in it and then a bucket with more money in it. Good day! 👍🏼
When I was a kid in Northern Minnesota everybody we knew had an accordion behind a door somewhere in their house. Maybe they used them for door stops because nobody ever played them.😂
My mom - Canadian born and raised but now in the US - keeps her coin collection in a Crown Royal bag too! Had a laugh at your mention of that!
My wife uses a 1951 Singer Sewing Machine. She has taught herself to maintain it as we have no sewing machine engineers in our town, now.
Im 30 years old and have binge watched your videos! My parents used to drag my siblings and i to antique shops and random ppls barns to look for antiques my dad is a collector. We always hated it now that im older I absolutely love it!
I have a Singer featherweight sewing machine that my grandmother gave me. She bought it in the early 1940's when she first became a seamstress. I still have it and use it to this day. In fact I've been using it to make face masks for my family.
Zach is another delightful new character on this channel.
Noble King Agreed. He seems super nice and kind. Hope he continues to come around. 😊
And hot
Don't know why I get so mesmerized watching these unboxings! It kind of feels like when I peruse through my kids old I-Spy books.
I would have so much fun sorting and researching all of those old coins. Had fun watching this episode brother- thank you for sharing it with us!
Wow! What a find with all the different coins and paper money too. I had never heard of the shin money before. We always can get a fantastic education of the different kinds of things that you have. Thanks for sharing
Feels like an old pawn shop guy's estate haul. Especially with the damaged pieces like the guy couldn't say no to a person in a truly rough spot so he bought the goods to make their day. Maybe with the intention to fix it up himself. Kind of reminds me of Alex lol
I like when you post late in the evening...”Insomnia “ is my middle name. Always a pleasure to live vicariously through you. Love your channel.
Your parents have strange taste in baby names.
Wood 'n' Stuff w/ Steve French you made me 😀
I bought a cowboy boot birdfeeder for a friend at Christmas from Robert Pendleton and it was beautiful and a huge hit! ♥️ So happy you introduced us!
You need a gopro, would help with having 2 hands to sort
I agree with MrBlack on Alex being a favorite...I always get to smile when I see a video of your daily adventures and buying sprees. Love your show too. You really are "the book" that MrBlack said your are!!! Have a wonderful and prosperous upcoming weekend Alex!!!
DUDE!!!! This is insane! Please show more, especially those arrowheads and old coins!
Expert or not, that was some really interesting random collectible currency info, Alex. Great episode! Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
Listening to you it’s clear how wide your knowledge just is. Love watching you as I always learn something.
The ring with the blue stone in a silver setting - looks like lapiz lazuli. A nice piece, too!
This is the correct stone indeed
@Deborah Shaw The bracelet is probably set with aquamarine. The fact it's in a faceted gem shape is a dead giveaway, since you don't facet opaque stones or cut them into sharper shapes. you generally just make them into a cabochon or cab - partially just for durability of the often soft stone. Look a little closer and it's indeed faceted and transparent. The ring is set with a middling grade of lapis. Not great, but not terrible either.
@Deborah Shaw I was thinking Aquamarine in the bracelet.
@Deborah ShawPossibly an "old pawn" piece in coin silver?
If you look closely the stone in the bracelet I don't think is turquoise looks like glass
This money/coin collection! Ahh I love it!
I collect coins and foreign monies and I'd die for this haul of stuff. Especially a shin plaster, I love it. ❤️
You are like a walking encyclopedia. Always educational and entertaining watching your videos.
That coin video was the very first one i watched...and was hooked!!!
Hanging out in my home in Hamburg N.Y. (for weeks now) Really enjoying your shop and videos . Thanks Alex for the entertainment. I aspire to do what you do (in owning a shop) my eBay store is doing pretty good so ... these days puzzles and old board games are doing well. I've been treasure hunting for 20 years and it is the most fun !
We used togamble with the dollar bill serial numbers at work like poker! Three 9's, full house etc.. The best hand wins the entry fee pot of $5 each person. We mark the winning bill so it's not used again for fair play. It really fun.
we did the same, except we used our paystub 😊
Ah, accordions, the staple of every small-town pawnshop!
It takes a lot to warm my ticker but must admit brought my eyes open. Great video... I wish silver had held its high value
In case no one has mentioned it yet, Canadian dimes and quarters were silver until 1968 so the dime and quarter from the 1964 set you found in the bucket were silver as well as the dollar and 50 cent piece.
The artwork on the Canadian paper money here is gorgeous! Seems like it would be hard to counterfeit! Looks like you got a good find in this one! 💰💲💱
I bought 2 of the cowboy boot birdhouses from Robert. He made them with my mom’s old cowboy boots and her car license plates (she died in July). Robert completed them very quickly. I gave one to my brother for Christmas. They are beautiful
A bucket O’Cash! Nice! I love this channel! ❤️
Of all the videos you do I love the unpacking ones the best! Great treasure!!
Alex, even one faceted aquamarine of that size would be a treasure, and there are several in that silver bracelet. Not many that size and clarity around.
I lost my two carat aquamarine ring, to replace it and match the color, the stone alone would have been over $5000....I paid $200us for the ring
My granny still uses a 100+ year old singer and it works great.
WOW WOAH, that bucket must be worth a small fortune. Somewhere in there is your retirement egg Alex; inspect with great care and a magnifying lens. BTW I'm a 70-year-old Canadian and I never, ever heard of a 'shin plaster' much less a 5 cent paper currency note before today. Always educational watching you Alex. You're my favorite walking, talking, interactive encyclopedia. (grins) Want to know something? Just ask Alex Archbold.
Dear MrBlack
Well said, Sir! After reading "grins" I instantly thought that you may have German roots? Am I right? Thanks in advance for answering.
Best regards luck and health.
@@Chr.U.Cas1622 Not German but does Dutch help? I use (grins) in place of those yellow funny faces that are not available on YT anyway because it's more accurate a testimonial to my 'at the time' expressions. (winks & grins)
@@MrBlack.
Uh, now I see.
Not available? Those 😁😋😊☺️?
There is another possibility: Please kindly allow me to suggest that you can use :-) and/or that ;-) for instance. I also use "grins" if I write comments in German.

What fun. Common dates of
Morgan silver dollars are between $18-$20 US. But rare one can be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Happy hunting.
Morgan's in my area of the U.S. Start out at 35.00, the key dates go up, the one in the box with the toning is worth a bit as well.
1921 is the most common date. It was the last year so they minted a huge number of them.
@@bearflagmercantile8113 All circ 90% silver US coinage is worth 15 times face lately. Circ Morgans - $25.
@@2pugman I wish someone would tell the coin shops around here, because they are 35 dollars and up. Silver is 18.41 an oz right for today they'd be losing money at 20 to 25.00.
@@bearflagmercantile8113 The bid and buy are always listed. They're selling junk silver for $18 and buying it for $16. Find an honest dealer.
28:45 - Any US dimes minted in 1964 or earlier are 90% silver, even if they look entirely modern. You can tell the difference if you look at them edgewise. Silver dimes lack the copper layer you can see on later ones. Same for quarters.
I enjoy these types of videos! I also enjoy seeing how you include so many of the people that come in to your shop or you meet through out your day. I learn so much from your videos about history or the value of things we think of as junk. Now if I could just remember everything I’ve learned I’d be super smart and very rich! Sadly, my brain just can’t retain it all, but thankfully, you keep reminding us! Thank you for sharing, Alex!
I'm always amazed at all the info you have in your head! So many little things about a wide variety of stuff.
Wow Alex, I had to pause and comment as soon as you brought out the penny book! Take a VERY close look at the pennies from the early 20s, those can be worth quite a bit each, especially 1922-1925. Even in average shape they can be $20-$40, and in better shape much much higher. Ok, I’ll Keep going, love to see coins on the channel again
Alex, check your Singer Featherweight, the 222 is more valuable than the 221, I have both, have been sewing on them since the late 1960’s. They are the absolute best machines. Value depends on the condition and if they have been serviced. ❤️Love and Hugs to your family🤗
I have a portable Singer! My Great Grandmothers. Its carry case isn’t metal, but seems to be heavy, decorated cardboard. It would be in perfect working condition.. if it had a needle! The local antique store said they don’t make that needle anymore. 😢
That was exciting! the bracelet caught my eye. thanks for sharing...and the steam car was new to me!
WOW! You have more luck than the Lagina's on Oak Island! What a great haul! I would spend a sleepless month looking up each and every coin and note! That 1921 US silver dollar caught my eye considering i have a similar one given to me by my Grandfather because it was the birth year of my Grandmother who tragically succumbed to cancer in 1975..The one you found in the case, under the cotton, has a nice rainbow patina and will bring a premium with collectors.. I enjoy your channel greatly! Keep up the good work!
Wow! Cant believe all you found. I had heard my Dad talking about shin plasters nice to finally see one. Beautiful watch . Keep Safe❤Keep Well❤ nice you have friends drop in to visit.
Amazing video, I wouldn't leave my house for a few days just going through everything! And shin plasters! In the US we have we have bills called horse blankets.
Ok, I'm from Illinois and have never heard money called a horse blanket. What is it please? I'm only 55 so that may be why I haven't heard of it.
@@cathifamjourney469 It's an old note (pre-1930's I think) that's about 1.5x the size of the notes we use today. They were so big that people would fold them twice (once vertically & once horizontally) before putting them in wallets. Almost all of them that survived are folded.
Going though these coins is my idea of a dream! Love, love, love old coins!
Pennies from heaven...and dollars and quarters and nickels and dimes...oh my!! Good haul!!! 🌈💰💸💷💵💶
I don't know my stones, other than Mick Jagger. Lol!
Traci Lay that cracked me up too 🤣
@@eileenw6002 he could insert a drum "ba dum dum crash" sound effect after each dad joke!
You got the silver you got the gold lol
Or Keith Richards, the immortal!
Are the items in the store for sale online?
Thats a lot of good things! One man's trash another's treasure!
Alex getting saucy......priceless...LOL😎😎😎
As a coin collector, I would be in my glory finding these coins!
My grandfather swooned my grandmother in Scilly playing the accordion ❤
THANK Y 4 THE HEADS UP ON OLD COINS I HAVE LOTS TO LOOK AT. I COLLECTED LOTS YEARS AGO. 😇👌👍
Literally one of my favorite videos of yours ever!
It would be neat to see a follow up as to the value of the pail once you are able to access the values of all those coins
My name is Blanche . I am 60. Good enough for a golden girl 😆

Your knowledge is impressive. I really enjoy listening to you.
Amazing bucket and bag! Dream finds!!
I'm not a stamp expert but I did stay at a Holiday Inn once.
Here in the states there is the numismatic society. You can usually take your couns to them and they will truthfully tell you what they're worth. Perhaps Canada has something similar.
Oh my what awesome finds. Love the coins. Thank you for sharing 🌞🌞🌞
Great haul - Must have been a lot of fun going through!
That was a fascinating video! So much great stuff, and your knowledgeable commentary made it that much more interesting. I was intrigued by the old sewing machine- I’ll have to see what more I can learn about them. Thanks!
The sewing machine is a featherweight, simple, sturdy and beautiful....mom (90) still uses hers sometimes😊
It must take along time to figure out what everything is worth. Amazing how much knowledge you have in this stuff. I know its been a life long passion, but still it cover so much territory.
I agree the stone in the ring is most likely lapis. I've had sterling silver filigree earrings made the same way, and they were made in Turkey. Thanks for another great episode, Alex! Hopefully you can make it to Ottawa someday, there's lots to see here!!!
WOW nice to know that the Singer featherweight sewing machine I got from my mother as a teenager is worth at least $400.00. It was Mom’s first sewing machine that was a wedding gift from someone in her family. I still have the original folding table and all of the accessories that she got for it. I did a lot of sewing with it. Mom gave it to me because I was the only one that it worked perfectly for. Whenever my sisters tried to sew with it the stitches got messed up and the tension was too tight or too loose or they broke the needles. For whatever reason I never had any problems with it.
I'll preface by saying that neither antique money nor Canadian history are exactly in my wheel house, but I think the 1937 bank note would have been the first issue of a Canadian bank note depicting George VI, as well as an early example - if not the earliest example - of Canadian currency issued with both English and French text.
I love finding old coins with the young Queen Elizabeth. I don't think it is depressing at all that our Queen has aged on our currency. I think it is wonderful that she is the longest reigning monarch, and won't it be strange to have the old man, King Charles on our money ? Long live the Queen!
I hadn't thought of Charles on money....our dollar is struggling enough now! EEEEk! hahaha
That was an interesting collection of coins. Thank you for sharing
Love stamps, coins, precious metals, and watches. Great show.
The blue stone is a lapis
Elizabeth Hissom, yes. - lapis lazuli
Or sodalite.
@@douglascampbell9809 I also thought sodalite.
I also thought sodalite based on the color(s)
Or star sapphire?
Every American also has Crown Royal bags laying around the house lol
I don't have a Crown Royal bag.
I think he said "...every Canadian". His store is in Canada.
I don't either.
Been American since birth, never once tried crown royal, don’t own any bags either.
@@Vinterbukser I was replying to Michael Beaty's comment that every AMERICAN has one of those bags. I don't drink, I don't have one. I know that Alex is in Alberta, Canada.
Mind boggling treasure trove 😮 Good on you!
Loved it! Thank-you❣
So interesting. I hope you do call your guest to help metal detecting. He seems very interested in all you had.
Hi from sunny Sydney. ❤🕊🌹🇦🇺
🇨🇦
So interesting when someone stops by with bags and boxes of goodies. I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. 😊😊😊 p.s. I would love to have a collection of Canadian money. I have a few pennies, but haven't seen any in years in U..S. circulation. ❄☃️❄⛄❄
Hi, Another thing to look for in the serial number of the bank notes is the last four digits. If it is equivalent to a birth year it, too, is worth more. Yes, the year a coin or note is minted can mean more. ie: 1914 or the year something special happened, like 1963 the year Kennedy was assassinated. Those tiny notes can be worth some. Individual banks used to make their own. I've really enjoyed watching this episode as I am a coin enthusiast. That's a sapphire ring.
Alex you are going to have to get some kind of headstrap for your phone so you can dig around in these treasures with both hands while you film. I hold my breath thinking you are going to drop something.🤤
yeah, he needs a goPro
@@persebra I know he used one in the early days of digging through the Potter's House. He may still have it.
Traci Lay He should use it. Drives me nuts when he’s always trying to dig through stuff one handed. Ugh!
I have a go pro and tri pod but they aren’t always handy when something comes in
@@lorahaddad4967 yeah I want to reach through the screen, can I give you a hand?
Please remember to let us know if you find any coins that are really special!
Great finds Thanks.
Wow, Alex! What a super find! It’s the best haul I have seen yet since I am a collector of old money! I used to have quite a bit but just some now due to a theft years ago. I enjoyed watching you pull all that out! Thank you for sharing this!
I remember metal detecting and finding several Victoria 5 cent coins. My friend says you found fish scales . Apparently that's the slang for that type of coin .
Those tiny red colour notes which look live 'child's play money' are Hong Kong Bank Notes. It is the smallest bank notes in the world- Those would be from before 1997 when the UK gave back Sovereignty to China. I would like to buy them please.
Actually they gave Hong Kong back to China in 2001, 150 years after the end of the Opium Wars of 1851. Heard the people who lived in Hong Kong didn't want to go back to China, they liked their British rule.
@animeangel1983 No, it was 1st July 1997 because I was in Hong Kong from the UK for the celebrations. I was stolen from China in 1841 and returned in 1997. It was a disgraceful act by the then British Empire, we have some truly awful acts to be humble for.
@@LittleCarol Not sure where I heard 2001 then, perhaps wherever I heard it from was doing their own version of revisionist history. I don't remember now.
@@animeangel1983 Where you got it from is the original agreement between the British and China was for a 99 year lease of Hong Kong... The Year 2000 was supposed to be the end of the lease. The Chinese moved up the date to save "face" and show Britain that they were no longer the slow brother but were now a power to be recognized...
@@godbluffvdgg Which is true seeing as how EVERYTHING is made in China nowadays.
Enjoyed. Very fun!
I absolutely love watching your videos. You are truly blessed . Your grandchildren - will just love hearing the amazing stories and adventures of your life.. You have been an inspiration to many and with your kind giving heart was able to give hope and restore to a more positive productive method to achieve success and happiness. I stand with the many others - I’m sure - that can say ....
.....you Sir .... have indeed , made me smile 😊
Man i love coins Ive only found one big haul that was actually unsearched once hopefully I find a large amount like that bucket you iust bought
Remember 1964 and older U.S. coins are 90% pure silver so they are worth more in silver than just face value .
T.A. Brown - Good to know, thanks!
Same thing with canadian coins 1964 and under are also silver except the nickle and the penny but the quarter and dime are also silver not sure why alex didnt mention that.
Also, a lot of the clad half dollars, etc., are copper in the middle
@@timnichols1971 ya i know. I.just dont like to over explain to people as some need to do thier own research. And 1968 only some are silver not all of them are and they arent the classic .925 or older coin silver. The silver percentage in 1968 is quite low.
T.A. Brown not as many as you think
The quarter and the dime in that 1964 set are also 80% silver. Also, check with a magnifying glass if the dollar is a "no dot" (google for photos of the difference) variety. Its a common error, but it does make it slightly more valuable.
I'm jealous . . . what a collection . . . poor guy couldn't take it with him !
20:55 HOLY CRAP YOU FOUND ONE OF THE HOLY GRAILS OF QUARTER. 1991 QUARTER MINTAGE: 459,000.
Depending on the grade, that quarter alone costs:
MS 60 = $10 , MS 62 = $12, MS 63 = $ 15, MS 64 = $20, AND MS 65 = $50
CONGRATS!!! It really is a rare quarter that I am currently looking for and depending on the condition you can sell that set for about $60. (assuming the person who sold the set never opened it)
Oh, I'd have a ball sorting out all that moolah. I have a small collection myself. So sad to hear that my 1950s era Canadian bills aren't worth diddly :(. LOL, what's the matter Alex, you don't want the kiddos to ding for service? All in all. that was a satisfying unboxing. (Zach has a nice face.)
I have a collection of $2 bills that my husband keeps trying to spend because they aren't worth more. They are worth something to me, been collecting them since they were first issue. Value is in the eye of the eye of the beholder, nothing more.
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing lot. When I was a kid a local collector shop had a big pail full of random coins, you could choose 5 for a buck. I once found a 1899 US quarter, as a kid it was an amazing find.
I would have been so excited with just one of those coins! Fantastic buy!
Alex, next time you're in NY, look me up! You'll have a place to stay.
"I'm home, Honey!" Tee shirt please!!!
Yes! I’d buy one.
Me Too. 🏓
Only if it has an image of Hans on it as well :)
Yui you y'all
Wow, how fun! I would love to find a treasure like that!
When I saw the title I felt sure it was just click bait nonsense. But I should have known you'd deliver. And you did! What a great haul.
keep the Cripple Creek Token, the next time you go to Colorado, you can go to Cripple Creek. Actually you might find one of the casinos there that would like to buy that token... for more than the 50 cents original value.
Cripple Creek is not all that far from Colorado Springs, but is up in the higher mountains. I used to like to take the back road, a really twisty dirt road. Lot of fun to drive.
I love the opera house there, but I got super angry when they tried to claim that Jack Dempsey was born and raised there when we all know he is from Manassa.
@@codename495 I must have been long gone before that happened, I never heard about it. In fact, I never heard of Manassa. It's a pretty far piece from Cripple Creek, I wonder why and how they tried to pull that off? Like if it was the next town over, maybe you could get away with it, since many of the old towns in the Cripple Creek area are long gone, or nearly so.
