I’ve been having a pretty hard time of it recently plus a full on week so was a little worried how I’d spend my time this evening and thought to myself well at least I’ll have my 15 mins of Christopher only to realise I have a glorious three quarters in an hour! Thank you, you have been the calm in the storm for me recently and it is much appreciated.

Incredible collection. I watched the video from start to finish, as I have for all your videos for years. I’m glad you stuck up for yourself will preempting any boneheads giving you grief for doing what a coin collector does; collect coins. The vastness of your collection speaks so highly of your passion for coin collecting and anyone that says anything negative towards another’s passion clearly has a sad life. Keep up the amazing work and can’t wait to see the next video next year!

I was 10 when the Olympic games happened in London. Those commemorative 50p pieces were everywhere. I remember regularly sorting through my mum's purse and asking her if I could keep the "special" ones. I stored them in a box somewhere and only just recently tracked it down again after watching your videos. It turns out I have the offside, archery, basketball, horse jumping and a couple more.

Wow what a collection - I have been watching you for a couple of years - my collection pales into insignificance compared to yours. I used to collect coins namely shillings in the early 70’s but gave up after a couple of months. Then in 2016 I started collecting £2 and 50ps - I soon gave up on the £2’s to concentrate on 50p’s. I love collecting coins find it therapeutic and fun. Keep up the good work Christopher ! 😊

There is a difference between collecting and hoarding you can judge for yourself and balance that against your conscience for people who are collecting and do not have your affluence. This is a simple point and not an attack on you or your impressive and highly valuable collection

I am deeply impressed by not only the size and width of your collection,but the time and dedication needed to arrange it all to show in a video. I would love to see your chest of oddities and also the territries would make another great video.- However I don't expect it anytime soon as I imagine it must have taken a good 30 to 50 hours of sorting and arranging before completing the video ( not including editing !).

Keep on collecting, Christopher. I thought I would skip around but I watched the whole video from start to finish. Whilst watching, I realized that I've been watching your coin collecting for at least 3+ years now. I collect vicariously through you, Christopher, as I am in the U.S. and don't have access to your UK finds. Please keep on collecting and saving. (I laughed when you mentioned the 2008 50p count!)

For people who are confused. Bunk means brilliant uncirculated. I found the best source for new unc coins is vending machines in a gov't facility. They get so much use, that the employee filling the machines must get coins from the bank. Find a high use machine that still takes coins. Use the largest note the machine will take and buy the cheapest item. Often the change will be in all coin. This is not for mass collecting, but for casual collecting. Try not to travel distances to get to a machine. If you are nearby, this works.

Great video. Only 2 suggestions...... I get the Christopher (ironside) thing but I'd probably knock them down to 100 and stop collecting them further. It has to stop somewhere. Secondly, I'd keep a certain number of Shakespeare sets and then stop collecting them further. Yes, they still just about get a little bit more than FV but that will end... Otherwise, any number you keep of the others is fully justified imo.
