Personally I love collecting these! It's like you said in the video, what stories could these coins tell us? To me it doesn't matter how much they are worth in today's money, they're just interesting and part of our history, and as such, valuable in that respect.
Great video. When I used to receive ( sometimes) a shilling for pocket money and change it for 12 pennies, the purpose was to rattle them around in your pocket in front of your friends to make it sound as if you were loaded. Ah the memories.I'm all nostalgic now.
A few pence seemed like a fortune
You can also easily get 1920 Threepences that are still sterling silver, they have a whiter yellowish look that the gungy green most worn 50% coins have. There is rumours some 1920 6ds may also be sterling. Given they were low face values, the mistakes were less lamented. Whereas all Shillings, Florins and Halfcrowns dated 1920 are known to be half silver ones.
I do not stack 1920 to 1947 (50%) silver coins because of the added volume of the non Ag component and the extra refining costs. In contrast, pre 1920 (92.5%) silver coins can be sold directly for their Stirling silver and if refined the refining costs are significantly less than refining coins with 50% silver content.
I have loads of 50% silver half-crowns. Love 'em. About 1/4 oz silver .
you admitting you overpaid, kudos for being devoid of an ego. refreshing. I'm about to overpay for some on etsy..but I want the coin.
So my 1900 Queen Victoria half Crown is 9.25 sliver right?
Ive got a dozen 92% crowns, half crowns, double florins and florins, all great designs and only one badly worn. Mine are better than those in the content.
I need a decent curtained half crown still.
Thanks for the video, interesting to see some old coins too. I'm from the UK and would love to add some 'junk' silver to the stack
Anything before 1920 is 92.5 Silver. Then 1920 - 1946 is 50 Silver. Anything 1947 onwards is cupro-nickel.
I still have my decimal coin wallet we got free a school to teach us the swap over
For the first part of 1920, they were .925 silver.Latter on in the same year they then became .500 then continued until 1946.
Don’t worry, I’ve managed to work out what the coin is.
It’s a 1698 William 111 half crown.
Also got a
1772 George 111 maundy four pence
1840 and 1855 Victoria Four pence
1921 and 1922 George V three pence
and also a very worn
1799 George 111 proof halfpenny. Would this be copper or bronze ?
Love the yanks - these in their coinage would all be highly collectable - not just scrap silver!
I am starting to collect silver foreign coins from around the world. Being from America I used to only collect old American coins, but I’m really digging the European silver coins especially the Irish and British silver coins.
I wouldn't give those smoothies a second look?
Nice of the Mighty Crown to send his collection in to get appraised
hahaha
Victoria on the 1850 half crown looks a lot like Cleopatra VII on the Egyptian coins of 1stC. BC. That was the famous Cleopatra who didn't look like much evidently.
Wow, great coins there. Looking to start collecting pre 1920 half crowns although I have no idea how to spot fakes so I'm probably going to hold off on it.
I got my first one in a lot that I got off of eBay. It’s a 1914, I love it. If you can get a couple in a reasonably priced lot, then why not?
The way i test them is the ding test, just tap the corner with another coin and a silver coin will have a nice long ring sound. A fake will be dull and short.
You get the nicest coins. I love coins and I get the grading thing-still bothers me to seal up them up from a collector’s viewpoint. Worries me that the investment we’ve put into collecting these historical items will be turned into a “card collection” with the actual coin being secondary. Numi -I envy you a bit for the great amount of wonderful coins you’ve collected. Always good information. Have a good one, amigo.
Thanks for the great comments. I have been lucky to be able to show other people’s coins as well as my own
Thanks for Posting Informative Collector FACTS ! 😉THANKS Again!
I like those, thanks for sharing those coins with us.
just my opinion it is easier to find british silver rather than american silver coins.
I've got a 1820 George 111 six pence but it has been damage
Another educational video. Thanks! Semper Fi. Dave
any one caught steeling two shillings or above would definitely be hung for his crimes the victim would often talk the amount down to save the neck of the thief
Love the silver have not seen before
Loving this British silver!! Where do advise buying from in the UK? Keep these coming, pleeeeease!!!
Need to keep your eyes open at Auctions or Buy on eBay
Sorry if a daft question, but how can I date a silver English coin when it’s difficult to read the date ?
If I tried to take a photo of it, would you be able to help date it for me. ?
Can't post a pic of the coin
Tha ks for the information in the video. For someone who's starting out trying to collect some pre 1920 coins. What sort of price should we be paying for these? It seems the sales on Ebay of coin lots sell very high.
Are the 1966 British Penny worth anything
A shilling was a lot of money to me, when I was a Child. Saturday morning cinema for sixpence. You have some very worn out coins.
The good ole days ! I’m sure they were good I don’t know 🤷♂️
Just think as a child l would moan if l had a purse full of English Penny's due to their weight wish l had kept the older ones only have 1966 - 1971 ones .
Just looked on ebay most for sale are pricy so you may not have done so bad
awesome
I have this can u tell if it has value its a 1780
Like
I never knew you collected all this so called "junk" silver for stacking.
You never know what interests I may have ))
I think it's good to have varied collecting. If only I could afford too :)
@@Numistacker Silver is increasing in price, so do not knock it. There is a shortage of silver now, because of Electronics etc, and used in industry, and they have just have realized it.
Its 1920 -1946 !!!!
Where can I buy these ?
Coin shops, in their junk boxes. flee markets etc.
First
Why not ezest dip these clean them up i assume you just adding to your colldection value each too low to grade but great history
because cleaning is damage?
