    Does anyone else get really excited when he slows down the video because he is going to find a good coin

    The great thing a about this hobby, even if you get really common ones, they are still worth face value so haven't actually cost you anything

      I opened a shiny charizard when I was around 6 in a card store, never been happier in my life. Then someone stole it from me about an hour later. Never saw it again :(

    What a difference five years makes, not just for the channel and your confidence growing, but also the amount of decent coins found compared to today 2024.

    My memory keeps telling me I have had a Kew gardens in my hand a year or so ago. I remember looking at it, being a stamp collector and coins in my youth, I always look at the unusual ones, but being out of it for a while I did not know what this was worth. To top it off I took my mum down to the Bournemouth air show on Sunday. I saw her tossing a 2 pound coin into a charity box, I saw it was a commonwealth games one, sods law is telling me it was a NI but I will never Know.

    I remember years ago I had a Kew gardens 50p, I remember looking at it not realising the rarity then, and then proceeded to insert into the coffee machine at work for a 20p cup of coffee, I did the same with an undated 20p, it was the 1st coin I had when they bought the new backs out and I remember saying, "oh look they no longer have dates on" the 2 most expensive cups of coffee I have ever bought!

    @amyoloughnane3024 Před 5 lety +5

    I currently help out for my dad who is a football coach by working in the tuck shop selling teas, coffees and sweets to the players. Most things are priced at 50p so I tend to get a few rare ones I can swap out! My motivation to work!

    • @myyowwnemmpire127

    I got three of the Kew gardens 50p coin in one lot of change about a year ago everyone was so hyped about them as far as I was concerned I only needed one so I deliberately spent two to put them back out there for someone else to find one. Since then I have found another and now have two in my collection my hole collection is all from change given at shops

    Congratulations on finding the Kew Gardens 50p. As I'm not a coin collector, but rather someone who just 'puts aside' any commemorative 50p coins I get, I didn't even know the Kew Gardens coin existed. But I'm pleased you finally got one, and hopefully you'll get the Olympic Boxing and Wrestling ones pretty soon.

Christopher, its most strange how all of a sudden one becomes in touch with god......and a strange goosebumps feeling happens...i had this exactly feeling ..and shouted oh my god.........when i found a coin,.id been searching 4 years to find with my detector...a gold coin. just a little funny observation ive noticed with people....great video.

  • @trevorjohnson4927
    @trevorjohnson4927 Před 5 lety +3

    Hi,there. These are bags straight from the mint,Because the banks clearing house was bring in new stock of 2019 coins and needed to get rid of old stock. That's what I was told by the bank clerk, she said people was telling other people about this and she couldn't see what the fuss was all about. I said the bag a lone was worth money with bank of England stamped on it. The coins sell for ten pound each but a bag unopened from the Bank of England, got to be double or treble the values. Does your records show when you got them 2016, Yes they arrived October and some in the January 2017 and where have they been in one of our security storage facilities straight from the mint in Wales. G. . A small God. Goofus. Allegedly.

    Congratulations on the Kew Gardens 50p! Just seen in one of your comments that you're from Hampshire. I am as well so it fills me with hope I may have a chance of finding one!! I've been getting 50p's from the bank but they always come in the open money bags and I haven't had much luck, how do you go about getting the sealed ones?

    • @ChristopherCollects
      @ChristopherCollects  Před 5 lety
