The most famous penny of them all

Find out more here: www.westminstercollection.com...
In today’s video we're taking you back to the 18th century - or 1797 to be more precise.
Of course, this was the year of the Cartwheel Pennies. The largest and heaviest coins to ever have been issued for circulation and they really were HUGE.
The story behind how these coins came about is honestly fascinating making them one of the most sought-after coins in British coin collections.
So buckle up as I’m taking you back in time for a history lesson in British coinage.

I wondered why you were doing a video about old coins. Then I saw your selling them.. but still very interesting, got exited as I have a 1776 George the 3rd half penny on ebay :(

[@raphcaswell-jones932]

That's a 1776 Machin Mills evasion token.

Hi there, really enjoying the content on your videos, it’s even showing my wife that I’m not completely crazy and there are others out there who like coins as much as I do. If you could, I have a recently uploaded video of some of the 400,000 coins I have and would like e any advice on what I should do with them, how I can display them and how I may be able to sell some of them. Many thanks for any of your advice

I have large penny’s from the 1880s till the 60s sad there not that rare or valuable

[@wesleyashton9813]

They can be especially some of the Victorian Heaton issues

[@JimbobsTransportVideos]

There not old

[@wesleyashton9813]

Age isn’t the money it’s rarity and condition, I have roman coins worth 50p and have 1900s coins worth £50+ it depends on the rarity

[@JimbobsTransportVideos]

Yeah there all good grade but they sell for 10 to 15 ish pound so it’s not supper rare or the best

[@kevingarry11]

I got 2 coins i think pobjoy minted them in the 70s they weigh over a ounce each of silver

[@kevingarry11]

I just found a AK47 £10 note probably best for gun nuts lol
