Hello everyone! Thanks so much for watching the video and leaving a comment! Don't forget to subscribe to our channel and also to our new channel, The Lost Tower Diaries, which has a new video out now! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-0GI4fV7ELOo.html

Love the new content. You are both so creative

@Hippiechick11 Год назад

I agree .

@daskleinegluck4553 Год назад

A walk over a British antique flea market accompanying you two wonderful persons would be a lovely experience 😊.

@daskleinegluck4553 Год назад

@marilyndreamwalkermejorado1208 maybe they shouldn't do that much auctioning because there is always the pressure and the emotional aspect and therefore you're sometimes in danger of spending to much money whereas a flea market offers you the opportunities to watch the objects more closely and negotiate for a more pleasant price 😏.

Numismaticus is the box that a specialist collector would keep their treasure in (coins, money, tokens, or other valuable objects of the like). Don’t forget to check the box thoroughly for secret spots for the very valuable coins! This was an unexpected video- a bonus for us. 😅 Happy Birthday, Alex! 🎉❤😊

@jenniferkunkel2607 Год назад

That Liberty Head nickel from 1884. The American coin is worth between $10-$200 in circulated condition. If it was in pristine condition it would be worth about $8,000. So look at alp those coins even tho they all appear to be in circulated condition still worth the effort. That box is amazing what a buy Alex

@debbiewaksmonski4100 Год назад

Loved this video!!! I am American, but have Scottish and German ancestry. Love to watch everything you two get up to, mudlarking vicariously through you ladies. Thank you

@bearflagmercantile8113 Год назад

AkA Barber head Nickle. Usually about 10 to 20 USD. They are beautiful coins in my opinion

That American coin is also called a v nickel and is very popular as a collectable.

I was a missionary in Romania and I found a CCCP the date on it is 1980 its a Russian soviet coin. Mine is 15 yours is 5 which makes mine smaller than yours. Cool find love your videos.if we translated it it would say Kopeck

@candace8527 Год назад

Check the value of each coin. There are reason it was collected. I think you will find you really got a great collection. Congratulations and Happy birthday 🎁🎈🎂🎈❤

@leighdevereaux9808 Год назад

Yes, please do more videos of auctions, "car boot sales", and general treasure hunting. It's good fun to watch you unpack your finds. Much love from Indiana.

@HotelPapa100 Год назад

The CCCP is (U)SSSR cyrillic, 5 Kopecks The German Kreuzer is not a token, the Kreuzer was 1/100th of a Guilder The later USSSR coin was 20 kopecks (one ruble = 100 kopecks). I remenber paying 2 Kopecks for a glass of tea on an 1982 TransSiib train. If you wanted sacchar (sugar) it was another 5 kopecks, IIRC. That guter pfenn. means good penny (pfennig)

Great video ladies, keep them coming! The George III coin has been "holed" back in the day when it was in circulation; it was holed by a person who was in possession of it so a string could be ran through and worn around the neck or used to sew it into clothing so it wouldn't be lost. I think it tells a great story and humanizes it.

@kathleenelliott4916 Год назад

In Canada it’s not as common to see old coinage. I love it when I find a tiny silver coin with it square hole through it, and that was important and essential to that persons daily life.

@janedickson-gw4pb Год назад

The box itself is beautiful!!

@mariondetroije-vandam7866 Год назад

What a lively box . I am sure you'll put it to good use . The first coin you pulled out of the last drawer from 1837 was a Dutch guilder from Nederlands Indië nowadays known as Indonesia. The backstamp with the crown and shield was still used on the Dutch guilders that were made right up to when the Euro was introduced.

Would I like to see more auction video's? Absolutely yes! Loved this one and would love to see more. I was almost as fascinated in all those colonial coins and tokens as you guys were. And I would equally love to see the restoration of the display box. Thanks for giving us a glimpse into your collections, amazing property and interests. Its a joy to have you share this with us. ❤

@juneyshu6197 Год назад

Its not disrespectful to not know everything! And you arent ignorant. blessings🙂 Most coins are not worth much at all unless they are in terrific condition, or quite old. Every one different value.

I'd love to see a restoration of that box. I've always enjoyed your videos about making beads or glassblowing or jewelry making or whatever you happen to be doing the time. I love auctions, it would be awfully fun to ride along with you. I just enjoy you both so much! Thank you.

Fun! The American coin is a 5 cent piece (has a "V" on it) called a Liberty nickel and might be worth $24 US dollars or more depending on condition and demand. made of 75% copper 25% nickel. Confusing to think they called it "a nickel", but then "a copper" is used for a cent or one penny. I would like to see more auction treasures too.

@higstinator Год назад

That nickel is in pretty good condition. It was a nice find with the rest of the cool finds!

Yes, I agree, and I suspect the Indian coin was Imperial Court or crown or something similar. I know that early ones were EIC as in East India Company.

You can make wind chimes out of the Pennies. Be careful as some have key dates that are collectable and some are extremely rare and sort after in any condition! I have plenty from metal detecting but not even close to how many you have now!

@bearflagmercantile8113 Год назад

You did very well on that box! The coins are a bonus! The Copper pennies are amazing. 1860s are very good. Even worn, bring 10.00 USD. You could make pendants out of some of them. I found a huge lot of old British coins. I always think about all of the people's hands they have gone through, possibly some of my family held them. Being in the U.S. I also think of the journey that brought them into my hands.

The box is fantastic, as well as the collection. The British Museum stores many of its coins in such boxes. I saw a video on Anglo-Saxon coins where they were thus stored. Although many of the Victorian coins are worn, many are certainly collectible and may have scarce mint marks. Of course I would like to see some videos of auctions and estate sale finds.
