Alot of cool history items. I love your Grab Bag.

[@DougVerona]

From what I can find, most of the ribbons were introduced after 1961, although the Navy Unit Commendation was authorized in 1944 and the Army Good Conduct was prior to WWII. Biggest let down for me was why any dealer would include INB merchandise in their offerings.

[@Silverpicker]

Thanks for the info, Doug. I think they are including the INB stuff at valuations that are equivalent to the raw coin's value, not a graded coin's value. I see your point, though

[@babyinuyasha]

The red ribbon with white stripes is the ribbon to a good conduct medal, it's still awarded today.

the patch with the "4" on it was the fourth Marine Division. The red ribbon with the vertical white stripes is the Army Good Conduct Medal. I couldn't figure out the rest.

[@rodken314]

The bird in the New Zealand sixpence is a huia bird (now extinct) and the Australian shilling has a ram not a buffalo. Also the Australian florin has an emu flanking the right.

[@chriss.9662]

As far as the uniform stuff goes: The patch is from the 4th Marine Division. The pin is for an Airman First Class (A1C) and it seems pretty modern. As far as the two racks they are as follow: The top one has from left to right an European-African-Middle Eastern campaign medal with four campaign stars, and an Army Good Conduct Medal. That means he fought in four different campaigns throughout the war. The other rack, from left to right and top to bottom, has Navy Meritourious Unit Commendation Medal with 1 bronze star, meaning second awards, a Navy Unit Commendation Medal, a Navy Recruiting Service Ribbon, a Navy Sea Service Deployment Ribbon, those were not issued until 1980 and retroactively up to 1974, and the last ribbon is a Navy Efficiency Ribbon, or E ribbon and it denotes service in a ship that won an efficiency competition, also began issue in 1974, so that rack is much more modern.

[@Silverpicker]

Wow that's so helpful Christopher! Thank you so much! Super interesting. So the stars on the ribbons signifies the number of times they were awarded that ribbon?

[@chriss.9662]

Silverpicker depends on the appurtenance, or bronze piece on ribbons like oak leaves, stars, numbers, etc., in the case of stars on campaign medals it’s is only awarded once and the stars just denote how many campaigns you participated in, those are mainly separated by geographical location and dates. Others like the Navy Unit Commendation, having one star means that your unit received two of the same medal. If you have any more questions about anything military related that you come across, especially Army, I’d be happy to help you identify it, I really enjoy your channel and have a bit of knowledge when it comes to military history and uniforms.

[@Brad_Burge]

Entirely too much random historical stuff in a "coin" grab bag. Bags seem catered to the individual and not a true grab bag. Of the three Rob's was best IMO. This was a good idea but it seems to me that the seller knew what they were filling the bags for. Better done completely anonymously to get a better showdown. Can't argue that the seller did great job in making the cost fair.

[@Silverpicker]

Hey Brad, I hear that. I have done a random bag from this seller before and it was excellent. They're really honest folks (that's why their eBay rating is 100% positive). Totally understand your thoughts though

[@ratprince1258]

At 19:23 that silver coin is the New Zealand six pence, we made em out of 40% silver from 1933 to 1946 and the bird is the now extinct Huia

Ok, watched the others, your bag wins. BUT silver stacker was the only one of the three of you who got a coin I'd want -and he was utterly clueless about what it was! Justinian I is about the most important Byzantine ruler there was, and that one is nicer than my own example. Rob's ancient coin was worth less than he even though, maybe a dollar.

No, you were right to begin with, that's definitely an emu on the Australian coat of arms on the Florin obverse coz its an Australian native but ostriches aren't & its a Merino sheep (ram) on the shilling). The Aussie coins are actually sterling silver too, all pre-decimal Aussie coins are!

Ahhh I should have stuck with my first instinct!

[@formulafish1536]

Silverpicker Easy mistake to make for someone who isn’t Australian or knows a lot about Australia. I’m not going to blame you for making a mistake. I was shocked that across the 3 bags there wasn’t a 1966 Silver Australian 50c coin. Given how crazy common they are, and being 60% silver I thought at least one of them would have them. They are beautiful coins, and I am lucky enough to have 3 or 4 of them. Though, at over 166 million minted they wouldn’t add any value to the bags, so I guess that is why there aren’t any, that and there wouldn’t be many in the States.

I have to admit I liked the WW2 theme. I am a WW2 history nut. I thought the neatest thing happened to be the letters to the Yorktown. Overall, I have to admit I think each bag was of equal value. Nothing in them spoke WOAH so and so hands down won. I liked the individual touches each bag had. Silver seekers felt more like an actual grab bag to me with more random stuff, Robs seemed to have more coins, where as yours had that WW2 collection which I personally enjoyed watching you unbox.

The bird on the New Zealand sixpence is a huia, an extinct species that was last sighted in 1907. I just found my invasion note (a Malayan ten dollar bill displayed at 7:30) which I’m very happy about! I’m a huge fan of the historic artefacts inside. Some of my relatives lived in fascist Italy, and the memorabilia I have from that time is very unusual and interesting. Minor corrections: in the UK, the three pence piece was referred to as a ‘thruppence’, not a ‘threppence’. One of the French coins is Vichy, the other two are from the French Republic. Both of the French Republic coins were minted well into the 1950s as France’s economy was in ruins after the war.

Wow that's so interesting. Would love to hear more about your family's experience in Fascist Italy. Thanks for the correction on the UK pronunciation too!
