    Not sure why I am so fascinated watching someone else collecting coins, you do make it very interesting and informative, thanks, Gary 👍 😁

    It’s a Sunday. Never had an interest in coin collecting and yet I’m watching these episodes back to back. Great content. Subscribed. 👍

    I never realised just how much fun looking for collectible coins could be ....I’m more into spending them than collecting.

    We saved £2 coins for years. Was well over £2000 worth when we took them to the bank. Never knew there was edition coins. Got quite a few hundred quids worth in a bottle now in the cupboard. Think I'll go check them now.

    Some coins get battered around in a washing machine or tumble drier. Hence rough edges. 😊

    This is not really an interest of mine and was randomly suggested by CZcams, but there is something really satisfying and endearing about watching someone engage in their hobbies rather contently. New suscriber here 😃

    Every now and again I get recommended something out of the ordinary. Last time it was "The lock picking lawyer" and I am still addicted to his channel. I suspect this one may be similar.

    • @synaesthesian

      Also was suggested the lock picking lawyer, which I am now subbed too.

    The universe works in strange ways. I literally came across this video on Guy Fawkes Day, so I was surprised to see 1605 on the coin knowing it’s significance. Being here in California, the only £2 coins I’ve come across were rejects at a CoinStar machine.

  • @angelodiragusa4770
    @angelodiragusa4770 Před 2 lety

    When I was growing up in the sixties you could pick a lot of coins out of your change, even 60's Lizzie II coins...the prooflike 1961 half crown for one. It was a way to get into coin collecting and make a few pounds . The two pound coin which he thinks is strange is a copy...from a mile off !

  • @MrBobmeadows
    @MrBobmeadows Před 3 lety +2

    Christopher, re-check the milling. The '+' sign was not aligned with the reference 2015 £2 coin you used.

    • @simonshepheard1877
      @simonshepheard1877 Před 2 lety

      I noticed that too, at 5.38 on the video when he lines up 'standing' you can see both the '+" signs just to the left...they are not in the same place on the rims. I don't know anything about coins, so I am not sure if this is significant, but it certainly looked different to me.

  • @kimb4285

    @adietrueman6093 Před 2 lety

    I was very lucky with some change given to me in B&Q.
    Four two pound coins and they all are 2016 William Shakespeare and they are worth more than face value.
    Its thanks to watching this dude that I'm kinda getting into coin collecting.

    @NapoleonGelignite Před 3 lety +1

    I think your 2015 coin might be a die proofing coin. These are used to check dies before using them, but the coins are not washed or tumbled after they are struck.

    It looks like a weak strike, worth keeping though. A nice hunt buddy 😊

  • @britishmodified
    @britishmodified Před 2 lety

    50p rare coins seem to be a lot easier to find for me. I do have a few of the £2 coins you found there though. I also got a big 5 new pence coin in my change once which I thought was a 10p coin.

    Hi; Very interesting. I decided to collect £2 coins when I found 3 different ones in my pocket about a month ago. Imagine my surprise when I stumbled across your CZcams channel. can I ask you a cupel of daft questions, when did the £2 coin first cum out, and wear do you get all of your coins from, that you sort through ? Keep up the good work, all the best, BOB.

  • @stevenallan2166

  • @chrissahar2014
    @chrissahar2014 Před 3 lety

    If you like hunting coins by looking at their edges for errors, try the Native American $1 coins from the US. There are some errors where the edge lettering is missing so no year nor mint shows.

  • @bk8753
    @bk8753 Před 2 lety

    I think I have a very rare error £2 coin in my collection I think it’s the first of its kind.
    The last two digits of the year are printed on but they look a bit off and if you look at from a angle you can see that they aren’t printed properly also if you run your finger across them you can’t feel them as if they aren’t printed.
    I also have another £2 coin which I like too call the queen wiv a booger Cose the queen head has extra dye on the nose.

    Where do you get your sealed £500 £2 coins from?

      Yes exactly.
      I unsubscribed with this guy because he doesn't seem to look through the comments left & reply were neccessary.
      I found another collector I prefer, who does takes the time to look through the comments left on the vlogs & reply, thus engaging with his subscribers much better.
