Great video Christopher! Some of these coins are absolutely beautiful. While nothing beats the rush of finding a cool rare coin in the wild, some of the proof coins show off the design in a way that boggles the brain (I was spell bound by the silver proof of the Hawkin's blackhole coin in an antiques shop recently). I got a recent small haul from the British Antarctic territories (PobJoy)... imagine if our islands minting had half of their imagination when it comes to concepts and design! Their £2 of the planets and the constellations and the various designs around conservation... unbelievably cool. The nasa moon south pole 50p is easily my favourite new piece in our modest collection.

I've got a Lovelace and plain and colourised Star Wars. I'll get the colour set. Very tempted by the Morgan. 😮

Hi Christopher, GREAT buys for your collection and I also like Star Wars. cheers. Stephen.

I also noticed the royal mint capsules come slightly un-done or not completely tightened, I wonder if there is a reason for this? Perhaps not to trap air containing moisture within the capsule so it can "breath" somewhat. Was dissapointed to see the star wars 50p silver proofs coming in colour only, I really would like a traditional proof option.

Christopher have you bought the "Celebrating 25 Years of the £2 2022 UK £2 Brilliant Uncirculated Coin"? I have and mine has an error, the privy mark on the obverse is missing
@artrandy Жыл бұрын
Thanks for showing us your new purchases. Im obviously too tired though, its 3am as I watch this, and at first I got the Morgan Le Fey and the Ada Lovelace muddled up and thought the former coin with its rather 'thrusting' image was a tribute to Linda Lovelace😀. Some of these coins are far too tacky for my (rather senior taste), and I hope that Christopher's exposure to more historic coins at his work place, will widen his palette as he gets older......... edit. 3am, not pm.

I also bought the Windrush in both coloured and normal designs prefer the normal one as the other has too much colour on it. Also bought the NHS coin as I am a collector of most (but not all) 50p coins.

They say having coins in a plastic holder tarnishes the coins over time . .All the royal mint coins have plastic around them.will they tarnish as well
@chrislumb963 Жыл бұрын
It depends on the type of plastic I think. The coin capsules and packaging the Royal Mint use are fine I believe. Bear in mind that silver coins will tarnish over time no matter how they are packaged.

In 60 years time your collection of RM modern coins would be sold off in online auction such as Saleroom as a single lot not much more than face value. I've seen it many times. Its the pleasure of owning and collecting the lower end modern stuff but anyone thinking of investing and turning their hobby into a profit need to seek out the high end and potentially rarer in demand coins.

An excellent heist this month CC. As long as you can afford to pay the bills and feed yourself, you have not spent to much money on coins. :) Although I did 'splash' out a little this last month myself. Spent three times my usual £50 budget. Got myself my oldest almost uncirculated coin, an 1821 farthing, George IV. Lovely and chunky coin for small denomination. Britannia's lion at her feet in the background is a thrilling surprise when you spot it. Also filled out a few more BU QEII pre-decimals for my affordable 'complete' date run.

Not a fan of The Police? I’m sorry Sir but you are wrong. But I will still check out your uploads. The plain version may be tough to identify the band, but the coloured version screams The Police. Ada Lovelace wrote programs for Charles Babbage’s difference engine. A machine that didn’t exist. If Babbage had of built it it would have been programmed with punch cards. Ada is considered the first computer programmer.

It's a real pity they put the words ''Star Wars'' on those coins... it cheapens them for me, the image alone would be better. Something about the words of a commercial enterprise or franchise, makes me associate this as a token rather than a coin. Cheap. That's my thought.
