What is the best way to keep old coins

[@atae7185]

I’ve got less than zero interest in coin collecting, however, I really enjoyed watching this! Thank you and keep on collecting our heritage.

[@paullucas3287]

Hi Paul the 50P @ 3:34 is the D-Day landings 1944.. Another great video :)

[@debbiehenri345]

That 1916 penny could have spent its life in a child's forgotten money box, saving itself a lot of wear and tear. My dad had a money box that his mum had sitting in her house somewhere until she died. Inside were all sorts of out of date coins which he reckoned had been sitting there for over 20 years.

[@hillbillyohio513]

Your coins are a lot more interesting than the ones we have here in the US.

[@smiffy7890]

A great EBay find Paul, anybody would be delighted with only paying £12 for those. Great stuff Coin Patrol 👍🏻

[@mackemmoolah]

Definitely a bargain, as there are some silver and half silver coins amongst them. The condition of some of the older coins were better than the more modern ones! Nice upload Paul 👍

[@duncanhorne962]

Many thanks for the heads up / I will be scouring my youngster's self-collection of many old coins & "WHO" knows? Great video. Keep them coming!

Found a lovely gothic florin a few weeks ago detecting and last week found a silver hammered and a silver Roman coin from third century I believe…waiting for the correct ID from PAS.

[@chrisharrison3598]

That was a nice haul Paul. You certainly manage to find those pre-decimal coins. Looking forward to your next mammoth penny hunt

[@sitcorocket]

Wow... Mums just died in January and I have found literally hundreds of similar coins in tins in her wardrobe. Going to have to get them looked at by someone in the know. Literally holding history in my hands.

Thanks very much for this interesting vid. I did like the coin depicting the D Day aircraft towing the gliders with the parptroopers ready to land. The three stripes on each wing were white paint markings which was a code. Any aircraft without them was the enemy.Tanks again.

[@peterperigoe9231]

Hi Paul, At 12:43 you had a 1926 & 1918 farthings, after 1918 when the Gold standard was dropped, farthings ceased to be blackened. Your 1926 farthing seems to be the same colour as the 1918, was the 1926, struck from a blackened blank? and if so does this make it a rare variety?

[@tradesysteq339]

@@CoinPatrol Thank you for sharing. Much appreciated.

[@Shawn47]

That was an incredible eBay find. I live in Canada, so they're a lot less common and a lot more expensive to get British coins here (especially the predecimal), so maybe I'm just used to seeing higher prices, but the values you're estimating are way below any I've ever come across!

[@paulwoods7683]

Interesting mate... Maybe we can do some business??

I don't know that much about the older coins, but they are so interesting. Tfs. Xxx

[@coinsstampsandcollectibles3552]

A great purchase Paul, I still love the little farthings with the wren on them

[@julianp2868]

That 1916 penny is incredible condition, if it has signs of some type of wear I would find it hard to believe and maybe polished, when you said about over or under valuing, I said to myself a lot of the coins seem to have been cleaned. Only you can tell as the coins need to be in your hand to know. You do really good photo work though if on a cell. I saw your post on how you do it but yet to try it myself.

[@newyorknight]

[@davidbalfe1967]

It's difficult to see any profit at all in this when you factor in the time spent buying, sorting, listing and reposting this stuff

[@matthewcallaghan4677]

Looks like you had a very good buy there. The 16 is a stunner and possibly worth a few pounds more than the £5 to the right person.

[@michaellooney1089]

If you think that 1916 Shilling is good, you should see the one I have, virtually BU, got it from a dealer several years ago for £4.

[@jfryer485]

A nice selection of British coins well worth the money. Just a few in good grades of interest to a collector. The 1916 penny is excellent and possibly given by somebody who saved it as new. It certainly doesn’t fit with others of the similar dates that are in poor condition. Low values would be a temptation to save but as you go up there is a temptation to use as money when hard up. I made a similar set when a boy and the condition would be the same, so I guess it was from an estate after someone passed away. Certainly undersold at 12 pounds when you look at some silly asking prices

[@CharlesRWJones]

Just come across this. Brings back so many memories for us oldies.

[@alenjenkins6121]

Well done mate, can't beat the pre decimal coins. Take your time with that knife you've got 1003 pennys to look through remember.

I was given coins by my grandmother & I collected anything unusual as I went…I never really studied what I have & most of it is in bags to separate good ones from rubbing or touching other metals. I got a book & one day I need to sit down & look at what I have.

[@starsnstuff842]

Growing up in the 60's us kids were always looking and hoping to find a 1933 penny. It was said only a dozen were minted and several were still in circulation and would be worth a million pounds!

The 1933 is not the rarest Penny.

[@vernowen2083]

I have an 1898 British penny I found metal detecting in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, at a mid 1800's homestead. A little worn and some staining on the reverse from years in the peat. But overall, it was protected from corrosion by the peat.

You should wipe those coins over with acetone to remove any acid from the PVC. This will not clean them.

After postage they only would have ended up with the face value of the modern coins in their hand. They should have just sold the silver and cut down on postage
