WOW!!! That $100 Gold Coin is worth (depending on where you look) $500 - $1000 Canadian... Very Nice find, and the fact that it has Meaning to you because your Grandpa worked that rig, makes it more valuable to you if you keep it...
Beautiful collection. Always enjoy your videos. You impacted my life a great deal, while in the hospital and I nearly died, listening to your videos even in my sleep, I learned a lot. My recovery, still, 2 1/2-ish years later, and I'm buying and selling vintage (mostly) items, and having fun selling them. I quote you, badly, and probably too often, but under a different, unassociated YT channel - not looking at riding anyone's coattails even a little bit, just wanted to send my occasional shout out to Alex and folks here, and say thanks, again!
@suzanneirving7257 Thank you for your kindness! It's a constant journey toward recovery, as my body will never be the same, but I'm still here, and I'm hopeful a new normal will be able to be achieved. It's certainly a worthy goal, to my way of thinking anyway.
@@TiptonMama for sure. I got a concussion at 21 and have had problems ever since and I’m just about to be 61. I have been disabled most of that time but I got married, had kids, hobbies, friends etc. It may be a new normal but it doesn’t have to be bad. Keep trying!
Out of curiosity, is there a guide or a book covering vintage marbles? I had at point in the past purchased a couple small jars of marbles from either a thrift or antique store and I’d like to see if they are vintage.or collectible. I also have a larger container of marbles from possibly the mid fifties to maybe the early 70’s. I need to downsize but I’d like to know what they might be worth if anything, before I do.
Fun collection. The U.S. walking liberty, although yours is in pretty rough shape, is a beautiful coin. The only better looking U.S. coin is the $20.00 gold St. Gaudens. The $1,000 note was incredible. I’ve never seen one.
"I do know the first thing, just not the second or third thing " That made me howl !! You seem to know quite a lot, a lot more than I do anyway. I'm not a collector, I do find the old currency very cool though.
The American pennies prior to leave 1962 had a different stamp on the back that are called wheat pennies. They're 100% copper and some of them are highly highly collectible. Especially if they have a D stamp above the date. So if you don't know about that just thought I'd share.
I work at an ice cream shop at our local zoo. A customer paid with Sacajawea gold dollar coins. I asked customers if they would like them instead of the dollar bills, most were happy to get those. Some of the government vending machines also issue them as change. FYI; US replacement notes have a star on them we call them star notes.
Looks like you did good there Alex. 👍👍👍👍 Another great video the i really enjoyed & loved. ❤❤❤❤❤ May God Bless you & ALL of your loved ones ALWAYS. ✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️
I haven’t looked through all comment but I think the large warn silver coin is a US Lady Liberty dollar. Fun exploring this with you, I have learned much from you over the last few years, thanking for your videos..
Back in the mid 90s i worked for a vending company. Filled and serviced soda and snack machines. Since I didn't have a full license I would dig through the bills and coins between stops. And since I was paid cash I took all the older bills and coins. Wish i kept it but sold it all shortly after at coin/stamp shows.
Oh wow What a assortment of coins who ever put it together really spent time getting all in one collection Not really much risk on ur part what with the x2 $1,000 bills The extra is worth the knowledge u will gain researching the coins Which will stand u in good sed On other buys Great video..
It always amazes me that people responsible settling estate affairs don't take the time to do their research before selling collections off. You should make a tidy profit there, Alex. Good on you. Looking forward to the update and subsequent auction. From UK.
I love all the coins and bills. It inspired me to look through all of my coin collection that I haven't looked at in a long time. I don't have that much and not many coins of value, BUT I did find a very rare coin that looks like it could be worth $100 in a collection of essentially worthless coins!
Uncirculated thousand and ten thousand dollar bills are high dollar. A gentleman brought 1 of each into 1 of the pawn shop shows ,to pawn in order to make payroll ,they lent him. $67,K on the pair
In 1970 I worked in a Savings and Loan bank. A customer deposited two $5,000 and one $10,000 bills. I didn’t even know they made that type of currency. All three were from maybe 1930 somethings.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 actually Alex Canadian Tire money can be worth a lot of $$. One from 1989 went for reserve auction $3000. $2 ones can be worth that as well depending on serial #’s. So may want to research those as well!
As a coin collector myself, I love these videos, and you are very very knowledgeable I must say. And you can't go through every error variation with such a huge lot anyway, I am sure true coin collectors will know that. A lot of these variations are often not worth that much more anyway.
nah nah i aint letting this slide. the dude straight up looked at the back of a box with a price tag that said 100 bucks. And then he said, oh theres a hundred bucks right there and therse a bunch in there. Nah dude thats not how it works. just cause i pay money for something doesnt mean its worth that amount. A coin in a case is NOT collectable UNLESS its in a graded sleeve and even then its debatable. yeah a decent amount of value, its just not what you think. because if u know there aint no way yall buying this video
@@sloanxxr1440 I'm a banknote seller myself since 2015 and I've bought scarce notes for few bucks and flipped them for ×5, ×20 their original value. You just need to look in the right place and to have some knowledge what to look for.
Flip the pages of the collection catalogs. You already know you have to really cheque LOL um check thru things. That shin plaster was a remarkable find!
I was given a lucite cube with a set from my birth year (1966). When I moved out into my own house, it came with me and I noticed the hack marks in the edge where, apparently, I tried to break into it for money for penny candy one time.
Glad for you! interesting to see as I am from the USA and my husband's ancestors settled in Ontario, Canada back in the 1840s from Ireland. They immigrated to the USA in the 1890s.
Great find Alex. I love watching your videos. You know so much about antiques and a variety of things. I worked at Canada Post for 30 years, and loved seeing the coins come in. I have a few but only my favorite ones.
LOOKOUT ERROR COIN. The millennium oval quarter monthly coin set had an error. I can't remember exactly which month, but mine I ordered from RCM had an error. At the time I sold for $150.00 for that one quarter! Thanks for sharing the collection, so fun😊
The error was that the obverse dies used on some were from regular quarters, so they have no date. There were three of the provincial/territory quarters made like that in the 1992 set. Depending on how lucky you were, you could get a set with one, two, or all three of them. I got lucky. Mine has all three errors.
@@lisa-fg8zh I was wrong, it was the 1999 set. I do have it still. There are 2 months that don't have a denomination (25 cents) because the wrong obverse die was used. They are September and November. The set I got from the RCM in December, 1999 happened to have both. Sometimes you get lucky.
Wow, what a great collection! I hope Kastner`s auctioneers give a bit more time for bids during the live auction, sometimes I think they`re too quick to move on and maybe you`d get higher bids.
I don't know if it would matter or not, but Most of the first couple years of Toonies produced might be worth a little more then normal as well just because they had the "error" of possibly having the middle part fall out under certain, non normal use, circumstances. (Landing the "wrong" way after a drop, or subjected to severe cold.) I had one for years that I had found out side at -20 or so. When I picked it up, the Middle stayed on the ground. Just the heat from my hand was enough to make it so I couldn't put them back together.
Great score, Love the old coins, anything 1936 or older canadian, in my opinion, are some of canadas best minted coins. I metal detect for a hobby and it is very exciting to find them.
Nice find, I remember getting a coin from school 1977 Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her Silver Jubilee. Many British children received one of the coins from their school
I was born in New Glasgow ,Nova Scotia! That was exciting to hear. When I was a kid my dad came home with a $1000 bill from the bank to buy a car. We were all so excited to see one.
7:50 - Nice clipped planchet! As you noted, the clip is the same diameter of the quarter, and if you look directly opposite, you'll see the rim is weakly struck, because of the missing material. This little trick can let you tell a true clip like you have, from Post-Mint Damage. 18:17 - Ooh! I've never seen a tombac nickel. Neat!
Hi Alex , the nickels from the U S A from the years 1941 to I think 1945 are called war nickels and are worth more than 5 cents , I could be wrong so check into it. Cool video!
@@christoye5200 Some 1942, all 1943 - 1945 US nickels are 35% silver. Look for the large mintmark on the reverse above the Monticello's dome. The rest are copper-nickel.
Just curious if you will put a minimum at auction on the $1000 bills to ensure you get at least the face value back. That way, if you do not, you can take them to the bank to get back the full value and pay for your investment.
Some of those earlier sets in the holders, like the 1949 set you showed, could be absolute treasures, should they be Proof Like. Hopefully you'll find a 1948 set through the dollar. I would encourage you to work in conjunction with a reputable coin dealer for the disposition of the better items.
Most of it is going to just get sold off at auction as is, aside from what he finds. Someone else will buy it and do all that extra leg work, that's not what Alex does
Cool collection Alex ! I have a safe full of my coil collect. Not quite as cool as this collection you just got , but wow what a collection great buy‼️‼️❤️
According to NumiCanada, $2 bills that were printed in 1986 with the AUH-prefix within the seven digit serial code could be worth ten thousand times their face value. Depending on the condition of the bill (nearly perfect or signs of wear and tear) the value can be between $3,000 to $15,000.
I love watching you dig through collections of stuff. This was a good one. What a lot of time and effort went into that collection. I have some old English coins that dad kept. I just don't know how to find out if they are worth anything and if they are, or not, what to do with them.
You are the King of the Silver dollar, Not quite how the song goes or means but it's the best I can come up with. :) My Dad was an avid coin collector.
Trust me. I've been collecting since I was 9. (75 now) And though I know a lot, there's a heck of a lot I don't (and can't) know. When I'm gone, maybe you would be interested in my collection?🙂
I used to collect coins as a kid. My dad was really into the hobby too. Currently my interests are more practical, but I totally understand why people love learning history and collecting rare coins.
Wow I’d be in seventh heave……with my gloves on …….. and would be loving on those Error Coins…… I hope this doesn’t end up happening with my collection. I’m sure there’s a ghost looking over your shoulder 😂❤
The 90% silver coins are worth roughly 20 times their face value based on silver alone. If there’s any additional Numanistic Value that can go much higher so definitely do some research!

Very Nice find, and the fact that it has Meaning to you because your Grandpa worked that rig, makes it more valuable to you if you keep it...
Beautiful collection. Always enjoy your videos.
You impacted my life a great deal, while in the hospital and I nearly died, listening to your videos even in my sleep, I learned a lot.
My recovery, still, 2 1/2-ish years later, and I'm buying and selling vintage (mostly) items, and having fun selling them.

That's fantastic!
Slightly overwhelming, isn't it?
God Bless the hands that prepared
Your treasure box .
Good fun collected .
A great and prosperous day at the Archibold's .
Great collection. I love, coins, buttons, and marbles. I don't have many coins, but buttons and marbles, out of hand. Thousands each!

I had at point in the past purchased a couple small jars of marbles from either a thrift or antique store and I’d like to see if they are vintage.or collectible.

Coins always throw up a few surprises - happy hunting!
As a stacker it was nice to see all these different Canadian coins bills I’ve never seen. Experience got a plus.
Fun collection. The U.S. walking liberty, although yours is in pretty rough shape, is a beautiful coin. The only better looking U.S. coin is the $20.00 gold St. Gaudens. The $1,000 note was incredible. I’ve never seen one.

In the US here. My uncle gifted my mom two $10 silver certificates, one for me and one for my twin sister. I still have mine hidden away somewhere.
Love these unboxing videos.
Oh wow
What a assortment of coins who ever put it together really spent time getting all in one collection
Not really much risk on ur part what with the x2 $1,000 bills
The extra is worth the knowledge u will gain researching the coins
Which will stand u in good sed

Great video..
Looks like quite the haul!

In BC, some bigger 7-11 stores have a postal outlet inside them and they do display and sell some mint products.
Very nice collection!
Luv watching your show especially the coin ones...reminds me of my grandfather...he collected coins and would tell me all about them

Good Lord! Those biscuits must have been extremely heavy! 🏋🏽♂️ Alex, Copper is shooting up too!
Canadian pennies were 98% copper until and including 1996. You might want to sort the pennies, just for the copper content.
That error coin is known as a clipped planchet error. Great video, and super cool buy!
Cool collection Alex ! I have a safe full of my coil collect. Not quite as cool as this collection you just got , but wow what a collection great buy‼️‼️❤️
Your impression of the Queen was pretty much spot on.

Only problem is, they all have the same serial no.????
I love watching you dig through collections of stuff. This was a good one. What a lot of time and effort went into that collection.
I have some old English coins that dad kept. I just don't know how to find out if they are worth anything and if they are, or not, what to do with them.
Look them up on Google.
Thank you Alex!
That’s a good haul.
As you go through the loose coins you might find the missing coins to those sets.
a very young looking Queen Victoria... oh hey Melissa! the accidental comedic timing is on point.
Hello from Newfoundland, give us our money back! lol i'm kidding ofc you silly mainlander, great collection ;)
10:48 theres a key lol in with that awesome collection.
You are the King of the Silver dollar, Not quite how the song goes or means but it's the best I can come up with. :) My Dad was an avid coin collector.
Double check for a US 1976-S Bicentennial Silver Quarter that came in with a very high grade - sold for $19,200 at auction a few years ago
You always seem to find the best pieces. Lucky man.
I love your videos, thank you for sharing ❤
I enjoy your videos that was a really cool find
Trust me. I've been collecting since I was 9. (75 now) And though I know a lot, there's a heck of a lot I don't (and can't) know. When I'm gone, maybe you would be interested in my collection?🙂
Wow,that was unbelievable and unexpected! In a way you hit the jackpot a bit.👍🏼
Congratulations Alex, I hope that you make a mint.
The history in itself is awesome.
Can't wait to watch. 🇦🇺
I used to collect coins as a kid. My dad was really into the hobby too. Currently my interests are more practical, but I totally understand why people love learning history and collecting rare coins.
We have 2 dollar bills in abundance in the US. Great haul
Wow I’d be in seventh heave……with my gloves on …….. and would be loving on those Error Coins…… I hope this doesn’t end up happening with my collection. I’m sure there’s a ghost looking over your shoulder 😂❤
The 90% silver coins are worth roughly 20 times their face value based on silver alone. If there’s any additional Numanistic Value that can go much higher so definitely do some research!
Hello. In your Canadian penny book, you have the "1923 KEY DATE" which starts at a $25 value.
Hello from Colorado Springs
Alex there are some holy grales when it comes to coins and that is probably applicable for every country in the world, knowing these can make your year.
You tube has learned me that.
I love this coins cool 😎
Be on the lookout for the 1909 US Lincoln cent with the S mint mark and especially the 1909 S with VDB on the back which is even more valuable.
Elmer Fudding? LOL Funny but you were actually Porky Pigging. 🐷
Nice score Alex
Very good buy just paid over 2k and should make at least 6-7 k ..I'm moving up near you lol so I can follow you around and jump on yah stuff you buy...
Cool find
Makes me want to sell my coin collection. Family was clueless when they should have kept the collection
I love coins so I’m here til the end.
