Is it worth £1 or £17,000? How to find very valuable Victorian Penny Coins! 

Great vid David great info …… he didn’t want you holding that coin did he 😂

as a young kid keen on coins back in the sixties on holiday in conway as it was known back then i came across a 1937 edward V111 threepenny bit for sale in a little antique shop...it was six shillings and six pence... i implored my father to buy it for me because they're very rare and valuable... even back then... but he refused to pay that much for an old threepenny piece despite my tears...it was the one that got away big-style...later realising his mistake he joined me in collecting coins but sadly the horse had bolted... i used to offer kids at school fourpence for a threepence or one and a penny for a shilling if they could find me rare dates or variations in their small change...those were the days long gone but not forgotten...can't wait for you to tackle old postcards david... that's been my special interest for the last forty years or so.

So here I am in Philadelphia, wishing I was across the Pond in that wonderful shop discussing coins with you. Books, books books!! I have been an Antiques dealer for about 55 years and at 70 years old have built up quite the Library on Antiques. Can not learn without books. There is where the real research is. Thanks for this, it has brightened my evening.

Great video, very informative!

Cue everyone and his wife sorting through grab boxes of Victorian pennies this weekend! Great stuff as always, David.

So interesting, going to look through my box now

So can you imagine trying to tell the Mrs "But If you look through this magnifier you'll see the three is a little bit thinner than normal!"

the way you keep taking the coin from his hand ... and he keeps taking it back out of your hand that little back and fourth war going there is hilarious 🤣🤣

I have collected coins now for over fifty years, and have enjoyed the hobby. But I would like to tell people, please do not under any circumstances clean coins, please leave exactly as they are. So many people ruin coins by cleaning rubbing them whipping and polishing them. Doing any of this, ruins all their value and collectors will never want them. Just leave them as they are, so please don't do this. Many wonderful coins have been ruined by people cleaning them.

A great video, thank you for posting! I have recently inherited a huge unsorted stamp collection, which came also came with an unexpected coin collection. They were passed on to me because my father has had them untouched in the attic for the best part of 40 years. He finally accepted that he was never going to spend the time to go through the literal sacks of coins and stamps that were just waiting to be sorted and put in the right album/given away/sold. The collections had been started by my great great grandfather and though it had been passed down through four or five others before coming to me, none of them have touched any of it, except to add some more coins to the bags here and there. I haven't a clue what I'm doing and though I'm really enjoying learning, it is a mammoth task. I would be very interested on your thoughts about the APPs that identify your coin for you and even tell you what it's worth. Are they really that accurate? I've been using one to start me off, so I at least know what I'm looking at and so far it seems pretty spot on. But I can't help feeling that they surely can't have captured every tiny detail and quirk that goes into making a coin rare or valuable... Then I remember that we have self driving cars now and it suddenly doesn't seem like such a stretch. Now I just have to find an APP that does the same thing for stamps because there's an awful lot more of them than there are coins. God help me, this is going to take years...

i got quite a few vicky coins too never thought of the money side of anything i got just love digging up old history

Loving it Dave!

Thanks for this video 😊

I was an Church alter boy in the early 1960's and one of the Clergy and I would go through the Sunday collection himself looking out for any silver and myself swapping any Vic or Edward pennies for Queen Eliz ones. I must have handled thousands of pennies, I sold some to a coin stall in Woolwich market to buy others to make year runs. We knew nothing about die marks or 5 over 3 or dot pennies, if only I knew, but I had and still have fun collecting.

The 1863 slender 3 was resold and got 8,000 only 3 years later. The original 17,000 buyer well overpaid and it shows the folly of trying to speculate in coins. Right now the market is down the toilet.

Just found 1933 george v one penny from my late fathers old coin collection and much more.

I have old coins one 1891

I found an 1875H (in poor condition), in 2023 for 10p! Also got a 1918KN for £2. On the not so scarce side, I found a BU! 1938 Halfpenny, also for 10p!! Also from the same place, FOUR Calm Sea 1957 Halfpennies - yep - 10p each!

1863 Appears to be a year of rarity for certain mintage's of coin from pennies through to solid Gold Sovereigns for example below. 1863, Queen Victoria Gold Sovereign standard Gold = £ 500 to £1200, 1863, Queen Victoria Gold Sovereign with Rothschilds Gold Burrs and swarf - Die 22 #827 = £14000 to £27000,

Condition is everything in coins ,,😊

I do have the 20 pence peace I couldn’t believe it but now I have another 20 pence copper coin 😊

I go metal detecting and I have loads of these coins so I'll watch the video later and see what value they are

Those pennies went back and forth through more pairs of hands in 5 minutes than they probably did at the time lol , 😂😂

I remember in the sixties checking our change for a 1933 penny , not knowing they had all been accounted for🙄

Count how many times he grabbed the coin back! lol

I have some of those coins would love to sell now

I'm interested will send a pick soon

I have the Victorian coin copper one for 1926 make an offer

Its oddly coincidental, I paid £17,000 for 20 x 1oz gold britannias in 2016, at current rates the scrap value of those 20 x 1oz coins is a little over £36,000. Why would anyone speculate on a seriously overpriced worn penny?

❤❤❤❤❤...........

I have a 1799 cartwheel penny in quite good condition, there is hardly any wear on it at all, I don’t suppose you would have any information about the old cartwheel pennies would you. ? Thank you.

Surely there's a difference betwixt polishing a coin and merely wiping off old greasey, smeary, grime ¿?

Unfortunately coin collecting is going same way as stamps, the modern coin has become a cash cow for the royal mint ,would also warn Chinese imitation coins are now as good as original have a fantastic copy 1933 penny from Ebay,,only deal with a reputable seller or dealers

Got a 1874 .....3pence...anyone interested?

Those coins are pretty wasted i think you shud melt it and sell El metalo🤔?

Alas, no Victorian pennies here, or not many anyway. They do however do the same thing with American ones. The holy grail is a 1943 copper; they made pennies that year out of zinc over steel because the copper was needed for the War. Few to zero coppers were made, so the few in existence are worth a small fortune. (Tell Alvin to keep his peepers peeled!) If he gets drilled ones, off someone's fob chain, jewelry crafters would be all over them!
