B&Q vs SCRAP YARD | Scrap King Diaries

[@KSDKarateclub]

Our ex family scrap metal business started trading after the 1st world war Barbers of Salford and we sold up in 1992 , I was a 5th generation and I closed the gates for the last time then . I recall my grandfather telling me about the value of copper being higher than coins and being weighed in but I am sure it was pre 1-2p , my dad n granddad are no longer here sadly to ask again . I miss My scrap days but they were good to us .

[@adamknight6752]

Thank you for mentioning "The Wire" it is probably one of if not the best tv productions of all time. Why have so few watched the wire ! So many people on tv now started their career on that show. What a classic!🎉

1p and 2p coins minted between 1971 and September 1992 are 97% copper, 2.5% zinc and 0.5% tin. I've been collecting them for years waiting for them to go out of circulation. Currently I have 1190 kg (£3400). Come on Bank of England, get rid of 1's and 2's.

[@havingalook.]

An 83 two pence with "new pence" on it is worth £800 on its own

[@kevinbroughton540]

@@havingalook. the '83 two pence with "new pence" stamped on it was part of a collectors set of UK decimal coins. They will only be in circulation if someone broke up a set. I've approximately 125,000 two pence coins, I aren't going to go through them all on the off chance. hahaha

I didn't think you could weigh in coins with the queen's head on

[@kevinbroughton540]

@@dempsey1357 you can't scrap coins of the realm, that's why I'm waiting for the bank of England to take them out of circulation. The 1983 coin is a collectors item.

Can we see you’re dads reaction to the shaker table please that would be gold.

[@LazurusEnterprises]

Hi guys. Quite a Few years back, you could buy maybe like a pack of 10 copper pipes from DIY / Plumbers merchants do like you did, bend it up a bit & then weigh it in scrap & you’d make more money doing that, same used to be for anything brass & lead. Goes to show how much things have changed in the pound sterling & weights of things & or the quality, or lack of quality of things over time.

[@iandrew6347]

We need see the high tech machine that Richard bought 😂😂😂nickname it the bone shaker 😂😂😂

[@martinburton9709]

Plumbers mechants list weights of lengths of copper tubes.

[@iandrew6347]

You think modern copper piping is not as good as copper piping from the 60s and 70s .

1p and 2p coins are made of steel the copper plated.

[@aldershotcoinclub]

Any 1p made after September 1992 is copper plated steel, and prior to that was 97 % copper, even 10ps and 5ps after 2010 are now dipped steel, melting down coins carries a fine of 400quid and/or up to 2years in prison Lovin the content lads 👍 Tony

Rich looks like his put a bit of timber on in that jumper what's the update on the gym ??

[@jons6125]

I actually think it’s mental that there is a product that is still worth half its original purchase value as scrap. Is like a scrap car being worth over 10k as scrap
