After subscribing to this Chanel and then discovering your personal account it’s refreshing to note the lack of your snarky comments ! Very informative video and as a customer I personally love this channel

I've got the 92 Euro Stars but it's in silver proof. Amazing video as always. I need to grab myself one of your bargain bags of silver predecimal coins!

Hi Christopher, I brought one of those 2009 Athletic Coins we brought back in 2011 on our last visit to Worcester plus a couple of other Olympic Coins. cheers. Secombe Family.QLD.
I found a Frankenstein £2 a few years ago, I found a Christmas stocking 50p from Isle of Man that's worth around £40 as there were only about 30k of them made I think
I have couple kew garden ( 3x circ. and 2 silver proof), both A-Z sets, Tosha, Blue Peter, 2x olympic sets and many more. To the rarest UK coins only I need 2p new pence and 50p olympic aquatics with lines 😀
My dad used to collect coins , I say used to as he is no longer with us, I Brought him a rare 4p coin , they weren't used for long only a certain number were made . He also had 2 silver 5p coins , the 5p coin that were made before 1945 were silver
I gave away a kew and a offside 50p when i was skint after austerity first kicked in.. was so poor had to spend all my 50ps, had no idea they were worth more than 50p each.
I have a great fire of London 50p with a miss print, it says lames when it should be flames. I also have a queen Victoria 1890 sliver coin. Not sure how much they are worth.
You talked about fewer coins being in circulation than minted due to them being "recalled?" I think that was your word. As much as it seems plausible that this might happen, how do we know that it does? Does the Royalmint supply information about this? It makes good sense that the metal is recycled. But in effect the mintage numbers are materially affected if this does happen. Why doesn't the RM supply detail about this?
I have the EEC duel date 50p & a full set found in change of Olympic 50p's. I also have a full set of £1 coins & old style £2 coins. Which I will be selling before I emigrate. I got fed up collecting coins & collect bank notes of which I've got all English £1 notes 10 shilling notes & 2 white £5 notes among many others.
My favourite in my collection is a English Breakfast 10p I got in my change one time. Still looks in great condition to say it was in circulation. I also have the full set of Paddington Bear 50p's all from getting change. I don't tend to use cash that often anymore. Its far too easy to just tap my phone. No need to withdraw, no need to carry a wallet. Its just the way it's going sadly.
I have a nelson of the Nile medallion in bronze around the edge it says a tribute of regard Alexandra Jameson esq. what’s approx value plus. A number £2coins I was going to cash in at the bank various ones Shakespeare etc etc would they be worth more than face value to someone? Edd
