      Junius Maltby hey does it have to have stamp in a coin to know if it's gold?

    Hi Junius. Great collection. You taught me things I didn't know about my own currency. Since giving up smoking a few years back I've spent my cigarette money on pre 1920's, 9.25 coins........... I'm close to 12 kg of coins. I enjoy your channel. Mark in the UK

      Thanks Mark! What did you learn about your currency you didn't know? Ever heard of a "Double Florin" only minted for 4 years and holds the silver of 4 shilling or 2 Florin. They were so confusing as their size was like a Crown that they were abandoned. It was an attempt at decimalization early on.

    The Gothic florin is one of my all-time favorites. What an amazing coin.

    This is great. nobody talks about the value of the coins back then. What people's earnings were and what they could buy with them. I've always wondered💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚

    Awesome history lesson about Victoria's family, wages, and the effects of inflation/debasement. The gold sovereign is one of my favorite foreign gold coins. I own a 1918 gold sovereign produced at the Bombay Mint in India. The Gothic Florin really is a beautiful coin. Please check out my latest video!

    Woah amazing coins!! Great video and hopefully I can find a few because where I live, there's like none.Lol.

  • @rleafs7144
    @rleafs7144 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Love the story about the gold sovereign and the truck bumper! Excellent idea to use that money for something that will be beautiful forever, and not end up in a junk pile!

    Think we may be cousins...didn't get into World silver and Gold coinage until past few years....and did a vid on how we got a 5 dollar Gold piece way back in 81...instead on getting a class A job repair on my 73 Dodge.. Still have the Gold! :))) Enjoyed the Coin Show J.M.👍

    Silver World coins in my Local coin shop are very expensive, so I buying the most affordable first and working my way up to the expensive ones.

  • @silverstrike6048
    @silverstrike6048 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great overview of the old British coinage system, and you have some really nice pieces there! It's weird that they could ever keep up with having 12 pennies per shilling and 20 shillings per pound.

    Being an anglophile (of the victorian period) this is most interesting as those measures never did make sense. Nice collection in just a few weeks.

    • @JuniusMaltby
      @JuniusMaltby  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. Nothing fancy. Most of them are barely worth above melt I am told.

  • @chrisgoff6544

    A sovereign will cost a lot more than $300 now, so that was a good investment .

    Great video! I'd really like to see a video with your opinion on "junk" silver as an investment if you will and not as a numismatic hobby.

    Great history lesson today brother! It's funny we both made trades with Mike GPO and we both kind of did a lesson about coinage. I don't know if you checked out my last video but I Kinda did along the same lines except I kept mine domestic. I love the fact that you are an international brother👍🏼🍺🥓

    Just found 1888 Victorian jubilee silver coin with 2 on reverse. Is it valuable?

    • @JuniusMaltby

    • @garrythompson2110
      @garrythompson2110 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      This coin was not officially issued as normal currency. It is part of a set of Maunday coins that the crown issued to a select number of OAPs each year.

  • @garrythompson2110
    @garrythompson2110 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I see you don't have a double florin. Unfortunately, they are not cheap to buy. Your Gothic florins are beautiful. Again, like the double florin, they aren't cheap to buy. Unless, you find one in a charity shop etc...

    Why do most prefer coins to bars?

    • @Elizabeth-jd3mn
      @Elizabeth-jd3mn 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      In the UK they are all tax exempt unlike bars that are subject to taxes.

    God teaches me that life in heaven is very similar to life on earth, and it is the centuries repeating every century. We live our lives in the same timespan we lived on earth. I'm going to be a 20th/21st century person, so will have my lifespan over two centuries (the remaining time at the beginning and the end is dead time in a sense). We live in the same world every century when it resets. The reason I am saying this is that old coins can legally be spent in the cultures you have access to by rights of whatever coin you own. That said, the buying power of something like a 1920 half crown from the UK is very strong in 1920, and in today's money they are not too expensive to buy. It's why the creator pushes numismatists (who do not really know that he does) to collect coins.

    I love metals over paper money 100% but if u look at the time frame:
    1800/1950 and u look at the global population vs available metals that where mined from the soil or u look at the time frame 1950/2017 vs world population vs mined minerals....................
    Back then the metal was the value.......................Sadly the bankers took over and revalued the metals.....In a world that spins on fiat yunk money where bankers name the metal price...........I would be a millionair vs 1817 with my storage of gold and silver....
    Right now i have a nice collection.....Soooo i really really dont see the market prices of metals rise quick wenn there is no major treath to the paper market industry and they learned there lesson from 2008 in terms of i dont see a big crash coming the next jears........

    I fell asleep watching this. It was so boring! except for all the coins! Sovereigns are my favorite gold coin. I think I just like the dragon fight.

  • @BNT1985
    @BNT1985 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Don't know whether you have clocked it but that Sovereign you have is Canadian.
    If you look at the date, 1917, look above the second "1" on the ground where the horses hooves are, you will see a "C" - at least it looks like a C to me - that's an Ottawa mint 1917 Sovereign.
    Im only 7 minutes in so don't know if you mention it in the rest of the video yet; just typing so I don't forget.

    • @JuniusMaltby
      @JuniusMaltby  7 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think it is Australian actually. "P" for Perth perhaps?

    • @BNT1985
      @BNT1985 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Junius Maltby do you own a jewellers loupe? If not they come in handy for aging eyes, bought mine 3 years ago; x40 magnification. It's great for identifying sovereign mint marks especially if they have been worn down and are faint.
      But yes, if it is a P it's from the Perth mint.
