Thanks CC. I would have taken just the 3 Bannisters over the debacle of the previous hunt... but the IoM is always a welcome 😁 Cheers.

50P’s seem very popular in the collecting community 🙆‍♂️. I soak my grubby coins in warm, soapy water 🤣( what’s your thoughts on that?) thanks J.🙋🏻‍♂️

Hi Jamie. I have no problem with that method. A soft cloth dipped in warm soapy water will often do the trick, but leaving the coin in warm soapy water for 5 minutes can help loosen the grime, but as long as the coin is properly dried and not left to "drip dry", which could cause rust if the nickel coating is worn through, then go for it. Cheers.

Why aren’t you looking at the Britannia properly?

[@LesCoins-uk]

Not properly? How so?

[@sarapiper385]

@ Because you said that the Britannia 2008 and shield 2017 were low minted and you didn’t look that’s why I asked

@@sarapiper385 Ah!! You didn't watch to the end 😉 I mention them at the start and once the initial search for the commemoratives has been done, I go through the bundles off camera, as that can take a while. Many "coin tubers"(?) do the checks this way too. Cheers.
