Pure acetone will take that goo off without harming the coin.

As if theydve run the mint to issue a single dated penny !!

Lovely Victorian pennies, always fun to watch your penny hunts, great video!

All very well but what to do when Vic pennies refuse to fit into the provided Whitman spaces? I'm afraid of bending any such coin trying to get it/them to 'place' !

I realise this has been up a while, but you're the go to for coin detail - may I please ask, and it's with regard to an in rather nice nick 1896 penny, and 'cleaning' : mine has nasty blackish, almost greasy grime all around the 'teeth' indents and around the lettered detail on both sides. It's fairly easily dislodged by gentle teasing with a cocktail stick. Would you still advise this ionised water/soft plastic bristle brush tactic to dislodge said grime, without actually shining/brightening up the coin itself in any way ? Thank you.

Great video as always. Better than the t.v.

Canadian 50 cents good find

Thats a lot of copper, postie must love you.

Hi I have a query! I have a Mary Rose £2 coin and it has no inscription on it? How much would that be? I looked it up on the internet and it said that no errors had been filed by the mint?

Nicely done.

Even in Lithuania i found some Victorias :D

Love it

Hi m8 Gr8 video as per usual Some nice e little upgrades

Hi m8 Gr8 video as per usual Lol 1888 a jack the ripper coin

Been really enjoying the videos and I've now started adding to my collection with some junk shop finds. Also, checked my own childhood collection and it appears I have a 1915 recessed ear with the broken tooth. Unfortunately 10 year old me gave it a bit of a polish.

Hi Paul, another excellent video

Nice to see so many Victorian pennies. I was rooting for an 1869 penny to pop up. But you have done so well to fill that many dates in the board for two videos

Thanks Paul great video.

I do love the Victorian ones! Some nice finds, not bad for £30

Very nice.

Another great hunt. Keep them coming.

That's what I did mate there where only a few people new to look for before internet so boots sales where a treasure hunt to people that read books 😅👍

Another super video Paul. I have yet to expand my coin collection into the Victorian era and would be interested in the opinion of others. Is it best to build up a date run by buying job lots (e.g. from eBay) of coins of indeterminant condition, or just wait for the chance to buy 'nicer', relatively unworn examples, being prepared to have many gaps for a much longer period of time?

Amazing stuff! I am however not sure about your statement that videos should not be numbered. Rather, if I find a numbered video, I immediately know there's more to watch, which is usually a good thing for me

I think I might be addicted to coins

Have you checked your albums for upgrades on this batch?

Love your videos. I sit for hours going through my collection. Your experience in finding the good ones helps. Thanks.

Really interesting. Thank you.

Thanks for the reminder Paul, I need to buy new kitchen roll. 😜 Also nice coins 😉

Another great hunt. Filling up the board very quickly with a nice variety

I’ve a bag of Victorian pennies somewhere in the house,always collected the young heads when a kid , fairgrounds were always a good source.

Its always great to watch your old penny videos.

Thanks Paul, glad to hear your normal supplier is back on the scene. If only coins could talk, the stories they could tell.

Nice to see something a bit different rather than the modern coin hunts.

This variety also occurs on the half penny and shilling of 1911.... The kings head appears to be in slightly higher relief .. only found one 1911 penny with the hollow neck ....

Love your videos keep them coming 👍🏻

Very very cool. Really enjoyed your video.❤

Just the sound of these pennies clanking together is another much missed sound from my choldhood!

Ha.... I've got two.. 1935 and 36. But I'm American and my mother was English. Oops 1882 h not 1881. But I thought the last Trident touching tooth was the other variety. Key would be the size of the 'tooth', much larger on that one.

No one would blame you for swapping out any of these coins on the board for any in worse condition from your petsonal collection! So if that 1896 is better than yours, I say go for it!😊

It's crazy that all these coins have survived so long.

Love a Smiffy BINGO line. 🎉

Fun fact - they made a 1970 three pence but it was for sets only

Great video!! I love the good old fashioned penny hunts

For some reason in my primary school we would polish the bun head pennies and bend them in an old iron gate in the playground

For some reason in my primary school we would polo

That bag of Vickys certainly made some big strides in filling those gaps. And I think the dirty mug got neglected as there were some worthy coins to go into it! 😁
