Recently started collecting & today I picked up my first 3 Olympic coins (canoeing, tennis & wrestling) in £100 worth of 50's! I have never seen them before so I couldn't believe it to get them in one hit. Enjoying the vids- I'm learning a lot, keep it up 👍

Thanks for this video. In 1966 I started collecting pre decimal coins, mainly pennies. I'd save up my pocket money until I had a few Bob, go down to the local bank where the Staff kindly let me into a room, (gave me a glass of squash) with a HUGE bag of pennies I couldn't even lift. I'd sift through them and the ones I wanted I'd exchange with my pocket money. School & Military interrupted me collecting for years until I returned to permanent residency to resume my Want! I started collecting 50ps as soon as they started and have amassed quite a collection, including the Olympic collection. I think I'm one short. The Offside Rule I've been fortunate with and have 5 or 6, and I'm keeping the lot of them! I basically save anything British and have some East African coins as well; (father stationed there with the British Army) some with holes in the middle; maybe so they could be worn around the neck if the owners didn't have pockets. I also have a decent collection of Silver Thrupennies & Tanners (6d). I collect as it gives me satisfaction and a sense of history, not for financial gain. It's something to leave to my loved ones! Also due to injury I cannot undertake my passions of Scuba Diving, Archery, Ten Pin Bowling and other physical sports! I betcha a few other collectors may have similar stories to tell. Have a safe day.

All the best.

I do have a Sherlock, signed Benjamin bunny and a 70th jubilee 🤩 however I do find brand new minted 2017-2022 cents just laying around in car parks constantly and the occasional 5 cents and 25 cents 😂 thanks for the updates on the values do you have the expensive non circulation Olympic in your collection lafta?
