One Of The Rarest Coins I Have Ever Found!!! £500 £2 Coin Hunt #89 [Book 4]

[@mrj4615]

I have no idea why KZbin recommended me this video because I have no interest in collecting coins, but I just sat and watched you sort through the entire bag. Maybe KZbin knows me better than I know myself 🤔

[@doreenellis7439]

Same. I forgot I had a tub of £2 coins that I used to just throw them in for saving. I will be going through it over the weekend.

[@jlbmaintenance]

me too I did think he's already done this

[@TheeRyanBrice]

That's like me. I've never even searched anything to do with coins before and never shown any interest in it, but I sat through this entire video for absolutey no reason at all 😆

[@TheeRyanBrice]

Ahh my bad, I watched a KZbin short yesterday about some rare 2p coin worth £2,000 and I guess that is why this video was recommended...

[@RikkiSniper]

Hahaha same for me

[@ahorton6786]

I’ve no interest in collecting coins, yet I still found this interesting.

[@sunnyjim1355]

I've no interest in reading comments regarding collecting coins, yet still.... no, I didn't find this interesting.

[@matthewwood521]

I dont collect coins..but it is so infectious watching you go through the coins..love to see someone so passionate about their intrests

[@hopebgood]

Agreed Matthew, mate. I've got into watching magnet fishing vids cos they're pretty interesting too.

[@martinallen6174]

I had an awesome discovery myself a few months back--the second rarest Lincoln Cent, the 1914 D. Found it in a jar, above the sink, where it must have been stashed for 50 years, at least...

[@Periit8644]

We've got a £2 coin without a print on the silver bit in the middle. We took it to the royal mint a few years ago and nothing seemed to suggest it was fake so its pretty neat

[@Stop_Pre-Ordering_Video_Games]

Big up the Canvey Island massive. We used to occasionally go there for a summer holiday in the 80s to stay in some horrible dreary brown chalet on the seafront.

Not to mention the Gold MIne disco in the 70s.

[@nickarnold8539]

I came across your channel by accident and within minutes I was hooked - your encyclopaedic knowledge and laid back commentary is very entertaining - love the quirkiness of the whole thing - looking forward to seeing more . Great job 👏 😉

[@LEEJOSEPHFOXALL]

totally agree mate....i just said the same..

[@neilbuckingham2291]

brilliant to be back myself after long illness , still ill but have enjoyed collecting for 60 years and do love your bag openings of all sorts

[@lewisodonnell234]

How has that not been found in 21 years of being made is beyond me! well until now congratulations.

I had one myself a good few years back and was worried greggs wasnt going to take it lol

[@craighenderson9517]

@@MartinMurray1966 I got given one in some change years ago, never heard of or seen one before then so assumed it was fake or dodgy and moved it on...... a little gutted now lol

[@howardlake6178]

Congratulations on the fried egg! When I saw, Canvey on Sea, I thought, no it can’t be. I grew up in Essex, and 30 years ago, Canvey Island was considered, shall we say, a little rough. It seems some genius estate agent has managed to alter the image to such an extent, the post office is now called Canvey on Sea. Fabulous 😂😂

[@mastertemple]

I'm absolutely scrambled over the error find ... only yoking, truly outstanding, best £2 find every I would say Christopher super happy days

I still can't believe those rare coins are worth over £2500 ! Wow, I'm off to the bank to start looking !

[@ahoythespoonsareawake4617]

KZbin suggested this to me and I thought nah, coins are dull. 2 minutes in and I want to say I was spectacularly WRONG. This was absolutely fascinating. Thank you & subscribed.

[@xehP]

when I was a kid I was obsessed with holding on to special coins, maybe this is something I should get in to. seems like a fun hobby, and it's not exactly gambling hahaha

[@elliottprice6084]

A lot to love about watching this hunt. There was a great Oooohhhhh and it was only the second bag in. I'd never heard of the fried egg error so thank you for highliting it. But I've never seen you more excited about a wonky technology coin even after finding a 2015 Britannia and a London Olympiad coin. A great video 😁

[@petervolkovoy7516]

How much is it worth?

[@1MartinWaite]

@@petervolkovoy7516exactly that’s all I watched this video for as I’ve about 200 £2 coins all collectibles but I don’t know the value for any of them plus I’ve £5 coins and about 300 £1 coins most of which are the old style £1 coins so of no value other than to collectors then finally I also 50p coins and they are in the hundreds and both types the old large ones and the newer smaller ones then various other collectibles in coins .

Congrats on the 'Fried Egg Error', Christopher! Love the new towel...it won't show the grubby residue!

I was not aware of the fried egg error coin before. I will keep my eye out for one in the future.

[@otterkarman8740]

Every time I watch a post I remember getting a £2 coin with the silver middle section note seated/ not flat!! with part of it sticking out, I thought it must be a fake £2 and quickly got rid of it!!........It was most likely a defect £2 coin. I feel like a mug now.

Exciting news! The inclusion of Rose number [66] beautifully symbolizes our collaborative efforts in this creative garden at CoinEra. Let's continue nurturing this shared space together! 🌹🌷🌼 Thank you for being an integral part of it! 😊💖

[@philmcrakin9938]

I got 80 of these from my bank, one bag had a whole bag of commemorative coins, best bag ever..

[@jamspandex4973]

"Standing on the shoulders of giants" is actual a big diss to Hooke, so even though it sounds like a profound thing to say, it was actually because Hooke accused Newton of plagiarising his work on light, which to be honest, he had to some extent, but Hooke and Newton hated each other, and Hooke was a short man, so Newton responsed with "If I have seen further (than you) it is by standing on the shoulders of GIANTS (and not small people like you)"

Brilliant egg error never seen anything like it,imo your star find of the hunt,shout out for the Olympic Centenary and 2015 Brittania. All the best.

[@randplay]

I think the fried egg error is harder to find than the Jane Austen. The Jane Austen NIFC was meant for collectors and not for circulation while the fried egg error is 100% unintended. I also enjoy error coins way more than NIFCs.

[@berryj.greene7090]

NIFCS - Not Intended For Circulation * ??????

[@randplay]

@@berryj.greene7090 The s in "NIFCs" is not a part of the acronym.

[@epleboy]

I can’t remember how I found this channel but I absolutely love watching these coin hunts.

[@philipneal9804]

Same here. I find myself checking my chance all the time now

[@dieseldragon6756]

Ooh, some nice finds there chap! I got into coin hunting in early 2019, but of course the events of the following year sort of killed that off and I never got back into it! 😷🚫🙃 Have to say I'm envious of the speed at which you're able to work through a bag! I tended to lay mine out in a 5x4 grid (Though I was doing circulated 50ps) but I was quite slow checking and categorising them, and didn't really look out for errors either. In my case age might have something to do with it too, though. _[Gestures at walking frame 😋]_ Talking of errors, that _Fried Egg_ was a very nice find! I admit I'd have probably run right past it without even spotting it! I think I still have _one_ unopened £20,- bag around somewhere, I might have to work through that one _very_ carefully! 😇 Closest I think I've had to an _error_ was a 2015 Britannia where the outer ring had been compromised and had started to oxidise, so I returned it to circulation. Often regret it (Think that was the only '15 Britannia I ever had) but at the end of the day I think I once unwittingly passed-on either a _Kew_ or a _Presidency of the EU_ at some point in life, so that sort of stuff happens. 🎰😇 Also: You might've converted me away from sealed bags: They used to be all I ever looked at on the assumption coin centres would never check coins but bags dropped off at the Post Office probably had been. If I do another hunt in the future I'll have to give Post Office bags a spin! 📯💰👍

[@Ollybus]

I had a ‘Kew’ and also passed it on, unfortunately.

[@fancyfeast4610]

Is canvey on sea canvey island in Essex?

[@coinsstampsandcollectibles3552]

Wow what an awesome egg error to find, to be honest I didn't know it existed until this video - so I'm glad I was here when you did. Nice one!

[@kevwhufc8640]

Really pleased for you 👍 I notice on the obverse a similar thing has happened with the gold, not so much as the reverse tho. Are they worth much ? I know rarity doesn't always mean 'loadsa money ' , I just wondered about errors like that. Britannia is my favourite reverse, the Romans used her image on reverse of some of their British coins , imo we should always have a coin with her on it's reverse, :)

[@tjmorris3429]

My favourite find was that spiffing fried egg error coin! Fab. Made the grippers curl a little. Brill. 😄 CAAAAAMOOOOOOOON ENGURRLHANNDDDDDDDDD.

[@coincupboard]

Saw one being found live and ended up in my collection. Who remembers? A brilliant error. 👍😎

[@ChristopherCollects]

🤣🤣🤣👍

[@berryj.greene7090]

I collect £2 for no other reason than they are too heavy in the change. Unfortunately I have never checked them before and came an emergency for cash I disposed of the bulk. I started over again but since Lockdown hardly use any cash. I'll go now and check mine. I'm anxious to see if I can do that coin flip that you do.... ! I store them in those old plastic film canisters. On checking I found nothing worh-while except one film! Thanks. Very entertaining. BTW - I won't sell !!

[@woofolliesmydog8628]

I know nothing about coin collecting, but I do save any coins that have a different picture. I'm sure all I have are common ones. I dont know why your videos came up in my suggested watch list, but im glad they did. Very interesting. Subbed.

Although I love the Jane Austen coin, the "Fried Egg" 🍳 error has to be the better find. The Queen had a massive wart on her face as well! Will you be finding a space for the coin in your album(en)? 😂😂 Great Olympic and 2015 Britannia finds too. 👍

how do you buy or exchange for these bags of coins as every time i've searched recently or in the past i've only found people trying to sell singular coins for 10 times face value? if its through the post office then fair enough but if theres a way to do it online id love to get back into collecting

I've got one with the hollow crown upside down when the head is top, if you could throw a quick estimate my way buddy that would be great.

My first thought was deffo the Jane austen coin wins but then I thought u can buy that so maybe the fried egg coin is better as u deffo can't buy that!! Great hunt as always thank you, great fun watching.

That’s canvey island in Essex. Sometimes referred to as canvey on sea

The fried egg error has to top the Jane Austin NIFC. The Jane Austin even though NIFC should exist the fried egg shouldn't. If that makes sense. Nice hunt well done Christopher brilliant hunt.

Considering the fried egg £2 coin has been in circulation since 2001, that must be your best find.
