  • I bought £40 pounds worth of Commenrative 50p Coins from a work colleague for £80.
    This is the first time I saw what they were. Did I make a profit?

  • @ghostcityshelton9378
    @ghostcityshelton9378 Před 2 lety +3

    I just found your channel😊 I think you priced them very well.
    I just spent $65. on a bag of coins from a coin shop. Got some nice British coins and got Spanish one but the real shocker were the Chinese coins!! Don't know what the yr is yet but there's a crossed flags with errors! It says; China but the 'NA. 100 Dollars' is not struck right and a small bit of extra metal along the rim.
    Plus there are a bunch of oldies with holes in them where when researching them seem to have sold really well. Will have to research the ones I have.
    I know that there are 6 Spanish coins all the same that have sold for over $200. each. So not bad for a bag bought for $65., will take that all day.
    A morgan (along with other Morgans found in a box within a box while metal detecting) is one that is a mint error! It's soposed to have a mint but doesn't! Not sure the date right now, might be 1898.
    I've only just gotten into the coin world around 2 and a half yrs ago, but I'm retired so there's lots of time to learn about such a fascinating new hobby.
    If PCGS cks out the Morgan no mint error it would be listed as the 1st one found. Very exciting eh? I wonder what a coin like that might sell for?
    Well great luck to you with your coins and will thank you again for shareing your knowledge with us.
    I think of the coins as little pieces of history that you can hold in your hands. If you come across any American paper money, if the serial numbers don't match, you have a valuable bill, & if the green stamp is missing or way far down it's valuable
    I've got to get back to the British coins now. I live in an historic town where during the WAR 1812 folks hid alot of their valuables to keep the British from taking them. A cannon ball is still in one of our church walls ! Wasn't nice of them to burn alot of our homes down, eh? But we got to keep stuff like our lighthouse & keeper's house and a few pubs. we can drink to that!🍺🍻🍺

    I've heard it was possible but never seen it done, well done, great video - you can get lighting with 'warm' and 'white' light - the warm makes a big difference, also if you take the matte covers off the light it can make a big difference too - not just in studio lighting but home lighting (clear bulbs). Best wishes, Stefan, Jersey, Channel Islands.

    Also Try setting your webcam or your lighting at an angle (Not Both), The reflection from the light is probably what's causing the blur.
