  • I met Alvin at Antiques On High in Taunton, Somerset and we chatted about Victorian Penny Coins. Alvin is a coin dealer and in this video he’ll tell us about the minuscule differences that make a huge difference when it comes to value of these coins. From £1 to £17,000…you’d never spot the difference, I know I wouldn’t…but we will from now on!

    So here I am in Philadelphia, wishing I was across the Pond in that
    wonderful shop discussing coins with you. Books, books books!!
    I have been an Antiques dealer for about 55 years and at 70 years
    old have built up quite the Library on Antiques. Can not learn without
    books. There is where the real research is. Thanks for this, it has brightened
    my evening.

    I was an Church alter boy in the early 1960's and one of the Clergy and I would go through the Sunday collection himself looking out for any silver and myself swapping any Vic or Edward pennies for Queen Eliz ones. I must have handled thousands of pennies, I sold some to a coin stall in Woolwich market to buy others to make year runs. We knew nothing about die marks or 5 over 3 or dot pennies, if only I knew, but I had and still have fun collecting.

    as a young kid
    keen on coins
    back in the sixties
    on holiday in
    conway as it was
    known back then
    i came across a
    1937 edward V111
    threepenny bit
    for sale in a little
    antique shop...it
    was six shillings
    and six pence...
    i implored my
    father to buy it for
    me because
    they're very rare
    and valuable...
    even back then...
    but he refused to
    pay that much for
    an old threepenny
    piece despite my
    tears...it was the
    one that got away
    big-style...later
    realising his
    mistake he joined
    me in collecting
    coins but sadly the
    horse had bolted...
    i used to offer kids
    at school
    fourpence for a
    threepence or one
    and a penny for
    a shilling if they
    could find me rare
    dates or variations
    in their small
    change...those
    were the days long
    gone but not
    forgotten...can't
    wait for you to
    tackle old
    postcards david...
    that's been my
    special interest for
    the last forty
    years or so.

    A great video, thank you for posting! I have recently inherited a huge unsorted stamp collection, which came also came with an unexpected coin collection. They were passed on to me because my father has had them untouched in the attic for the best part of 40 years. He finally accepted that he was never going to spend the time to go through the literal sacks of coins and stamps that were just waiting to be sorted and put in the right album/given away/sold. The collections had been started by my great great grandfather and though it had been passed down through four or five others before coming to me, none of them have touched any of it, except to add some more coins to the bags here and there. I haven't a clue what I'm doing and though I'm really enjoying learning, it is a mammoth task. I would be very interested on your thoughts about the APPs that identify your coin for you and even tell you what it's worth. Are they really that accurate? I've been using one to start me off, so I at least know what I'm looking at and so far it seems pretty spot on. But I can't help feeling that they surely can't have captured every tiny detail and quirk that goes into making a coin rare or valuable... Then I remember that we have self driving cars now and it suddenly doesn't seem like such a stretch. Now I just have to find an APP that does the same thing for stamps because there's an awful lot more of them than there are coins. God help me, this is going to take years...

    The 1863 slender 3 was resold and got 8,000 only 3 years later. The original 17,000 buyer well overpaid and it shows the folly of trying to speculate in coins. Right now the market is down the toilet.

    • @michaellooney1089
      @michaellooney1089 Před 4 měsíci

      I thought the great rarity version of the 1863 Penny, is the one with the Die Number under the date, I'd love to find one! I found an 1875H (poor condition) last year (2023) for 10p!

      @michaellooney1089 Před 4 měsíci +1

    I have collected coins now for over fifty years, and have enjoyed the hobby. But I would like to tell people, please do not under any circumstances clean coins, please leave exactly as they are. So many people ruin coins by cleaning rubbing them whipping and polishing them. Doing any of this, ruins all their value and collectors will never want them. Just leave them as they are, so please don't do this. Many wonderful coins have been ruined by people cleaning them.

      @@DavidHarperAntiquesTV I still don't understand the logic, assuming one thinks of their currency as real money (which it isn't) why would anyone speculate on an item that has no intrinsic value. It's not like as though it's a 400 Yr old masterpiece. Philately has me baffled too.
      I have over 30 Victorian shield back (gold) Sovereigns which have cost me much the same as that single penny. Having expressed my confusion, where preserving ones wealth is concerned, bitcoin is yet another confounding conundrum; I would have switched out of it into something more tangible at it's previous high to less fashionable commodities of intrinsic value.

    Alas, no Victorian pennies here, or not many anyway. They do however do the same thing with American ones. The holy grail is a 1943 copper; they made pennies that year out of zinc over steel because the copper was needed for the War. Few to zero coppers were made, so the few in existence are worth a small fortune. (Tell Alvin to keep his peepers peeled!) If he gets drilled ones, off someone's fob chain, jewelry crafters would be all over them!
