A good 1100 penny hunt Paul. 2 1919 KN's were my favorites finds, plus the 8 Doubles. Looking forward to the next hunt if you can get more pennies. Thanks mate for top quality vlogs.
That's ok I have no place better to be than watching these beautiful copper Large One Pennies go by the screen, learning more and more about them!!! GaryBailey
The 1870 coin was definitely from that year as the Queen's portrait was the 'younger' bun head with the thinner neck. If it had been an 1879 penny, the obverse would have featured the 'older' bun head effigy where the Victoria's neck is thicker. Bit surprising that there were so many George V coins. They comprised 53% of the total, the commonest date being 1921 with 58 examples. Running a distant second was Victoria on 17% with 1900 the commonest year (25). Perhaps the farthings were just a few leftovers found in drawers etc, from when they could be used in the arcade and were just thrown in with the rest of the coins when the place closed. So another 'Carnival is Over' - looking foward to when the 'Seeker' repeats the performance! Great work again. Paul!
I really love your hunts and your channel as a whole. It is fascinating to me that 1 penny coins were minted for more than 100 years straight. Keep up the good work with your hunts and your channel! Hope you reach 20k subscribers soon!
Very generous of you to add the 53 and some goodies. Sad to see the end to another grand penny hunt, but thankful that there will be yet another to enjoy very soon. I so do love and look forward to these. Thank you so much😊
I had so many comments, I have forgotten what I was going to say... Great hunt as always, and thanks to the mention. The 1870 is a tougher date to get so a good addition to the board. I would be very happy to find those Australian pennies in a hunt, not to mention some of the higher grade pennies you found.
Nice hunt! Most of the usual suspects were missing except for the 1919 KN of course. These are comparable in the USA to 1909-58 Wheat Reverse Lincoln cents and 1859-1909 Indian cents. The big difference is that the 1940-s and 1950's dominate groupings of US cents due to the MUCH higher production during and after World War 2. Most of the Indian cents were removed in the 1930's and 1940's while the Wheat reverse cents can still be found on rare occasions. Looking forward to the next hunt! You actually found one of the last halfpennies that I need after 1895 - the 1911 coin.
Hi Paul I probably liked the 1918 Farthing the most in this final part- I think people still had old coins floating around & would chuck them into Penny Pushers down at the pier in the hope of getting a BIG win HaHA !!
Epic video to finish this series of hunt off. A well filled up board and a great selection of side coins too. With the farthings, quite often as a kid, we used to try our luck on coin shoves by sticking in small coins to see if they would work. Maybe it was similar in that amusement arcade, or just dropped/lost coins found when they cleared out the arcade when it closed down.
I have thoroughly enjoyed this hunt, Paul! Thank you, as always, for being so generous with your time and for creating these amazing experiences for other collectors.
This brings back the excitement of 'finding a Victoria' when you got change after buying a handful of Black Jack's on the bus back from school. Thank you and well done with your voice holding up against the odds.
Farthings were demonetised just before I went to school Black Jack's and were a farthing each but only sold for four for a penny when I started school.
Love your videos. I've learned many things about about the different varieties of pennies, I knew about H's and KN's and low tied. but now many other new varieties to look for. I've not heard you mention of a 'Honalulu Penny' lol.
So pleased that you had some personal finds in that box of pennies Paul, especially the stamped ones. It was very generous of you to add the 1953 penny to the board at the end of the hunt. Look forward to the arrival of the next huge box of pennies.
Chances of winning are low but may as well test my luck, who knows 🤷🏻♂️ Been watching your stuff for a while Paul and I’ve enjoyed learning tips from you also, been collecting myself for about a year and 3 months and watching your stuff and Christopher Collects videos have been a must and a daily thing now I suppose. All the best mate, keep it up 👍🏻
Another great extended version of your coin hunt Paul, always very informative and enjoyable. Have found a 1916 recessed ear from the knowledge you have imparted.. Can't wait for the next box 👍
so enjoyable, thanks CP for another enjoyable hunt. i have to own up rthough, i used to shine the odd penny up with duraglit when i was a young kid. i liked the look of them being shiny. But you cant blame me for all of them being shiny.
Another great hunt to end on. You sound like your trying to catch a bug. Take care and stay healthy. Lot's of cool loot to go along with the giveaway 👍
Another great coin hunt video, thank you very much once again. Just because fathings were demonetised, it would stop people from putting them in penny arcade machines, although they may get reutrned. I would also add that there still fathings out in circulation as I have received a few, even as recently as last year in my change in lieu of decimal pennies.
A lovely batch of pennies this time around--always a bit bittersweet whenever you see the last part roll around, but then that just means something new is coming!
Another great series Paul, and at least there were a couple more for the board as well as some different coins on the side. Thought your voice was going to give out at one point, so go get a couple 🥃 or 🍻 to lubricate those vocal chords of yours!
I think your theory with the penny arcade isn't wrong, people could have just put (worthless) demonetized farthings in there as well. Great hunt as always Paul!
Hi Paul,thank you for another great video.Hope you are keeping well, you sounded very croaky today. Hope you are not in the start of cold, or could it be to much beer, from JRS.
very generous of you to add in the 1953 penny to the giveaway Paul. what would you estimate the total cost of the board would be if you were to go to a coin dealer and buy them? i think a short film about it would be fun.
