This was really fun to watch. 🥰 *Request* : I'd love to see you repair a watch. I've heard you talk about it with so much love, the watches, and what they are exactly, and I'd love to see you actually do a watch repair. Or attempt one, that's the same to me. I'd love a camera on the inners of one, and to see how on earth one manages to take apart, fix, and put back together something that small, into a working condition! I'd go scared just looking at those tiny tiny tiny parts!! So, very interested viewer here, and I wonder if you can just aim a static camera from above or something, when doing a watch repair. If you don't want to chat about it, that's fine too, if you need your focus on what you're doing. Just throw some music under and I'll still be watching with my eyes wide open 😃
You mentioned the Illinois Watch Company and my ears perked up! I went to high school across the street from the building that had housed the "Watch Company" as my elderly aunts would call it. One of them had been employed there in the early 20th Century. Mom still has a lady's watch from there.
My family was at the Hockey Hall of Fame the day Gretsky was inducted. Those tokens in that wrapping were given away free to anyone who was there that day.
Pretty good for an afternoon outing. Looking forward to seeing you sorting your ñew acquisitions in the recently finished treasure room (pool house). Hope you can get that pocket watch running. Stay well.
I remember when South Africa began selling 1 oz gold coins many people wanted than as investments but didn’t want to support the apartheid regime. Canada began minting the gold maple leaf coin which was not only beautiful but came with less baggage. Hadn’t seen the silver ones before this video- also a lovely coin. ❤❤❤
Good luck with your latest finds! I love watching all your videos, and watch every one. I hit the like button as aoon as it starts playing, no reason to wait for the end ❤😊
Very nice collection of coins. The Red Barn is a token coin, but it reminded me of the fast food restaurant, with the same name, lol. We had one in Windsor, Ontario and I remember we would sometimes get burgers.😮 The building was shaped like a barn and it was red, of course.
Oh, I love it when you go through all the boxes and show us all the little treasures someone had mentioned that the US money is very boring the one dollar bill I guess well yeah but then our quarters are quite unique every state and every little island has their own quarter It’s interesting
The 1780 Maria Theresa coin is a restrike, based on the letters SF below her bust. They are common and are valued at the price of silver plus a premium.
Alex is your next car going to be aPope mobile?😂. Melissa you are smart to put the hooks on the play clothes. I was always showing the kids how to hang the stuff up.
The Maria Threresa "trade Thaler" was in use as hard currency in the Middle East right up until WWI, so there are a bunch around. I found a 1/2 Thaler once drilled as a watch fob; that's the only reason I know. Somebody's lucky coin was sold as a pendant on a necklace, and since the price was about 25% of the silver weight darned tootin' I bought it.
Those silver Maria Theresa thalers have been minted up to the present day with the 1780 date on them. They have about the same silver content as a US Morgan or Peace dollar (slightly less than .75 Troy oz). The one Alex found is an older one, though. BTW, those Egyptian coins may contain silver, but it could be under the pre-1968 Canadian .800 fine standard.
Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎🇺🇸👍. Very cool estate sale you never know what can fall in your Lapp . One viewer comment about American money is bordering; me I do not care money is money 💰 wherever you go ! Very interesting items you got 👍👍👍👍
Alex, you are driving me crazy! Big difference between uncirculated and proof. Look at the mirror background on the proof coins. Proof coins are minted with polished blanks and often struck multiple times.
Alex, can you talk more about what you paid for things. It would make it more interesting, even if the profit isn't what you hoped it would be. That's the missing part for me.
Silver coins are typically .999% silver. Some coins are 90% silver. Some American Kennedy half dollars are 40% silver (1965-1967) I believe. Sterling is not a good word to use to identify silver in coins. Sterling by definition is .925% silver. 😊
the maria theresia thaler is made until a few years ago and they made billions of these coins they are still beiing used in the middle east ive been told as currency. Yours is probably just a 1980 to 2000 version of the coin ;)
I picked up that Eaton's catalogue at a previous auction. Let me tell you, they had some fancy milk separators featured on the front and back covers. Eaton's included their own in house modal and it is fancy enough to be a display :D. Also, the women's clothing section was fascinating.
Back in the day I use to work for Walter Payton, he use to play for the Chicago Bears, he promised me that he was going to give me one of his tokens that he had laying around in his drawer back home, and then he past away. I never got one but I was wondering if you just so have one of those tokens laying around that I can purchase from you ? ?.
The catalogue reprint is interesting . . . the back cover is quite different from my 1927 original spring and summer Eaton's. I'm assuming they did different editions for different parts of the country?
OK a google turns up that Catalogues were printed in Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, and Moncton and catered to the special needs of it's region, I guess we needed footwear more than we needed cream separators . . .
The Ottawa Hostel: previously a jail/prison. Site of the last public hanging in Canada. Gallows still visible between 2nd and 3rd floor, opens onto a courtyard below - the public viewing area. Odd thing to see. Stayed there one or two nights in summer of ‘78 while hitchhiking across Canada.
If you have the right Euro coin it might bring couple of hundreds of Dollars/Euros. Coins from Monaco can bring up to 400 Euros as much as I know. I am not into collecting coins, that is just what I have been told.
Hi Alex...my 9 year old Grandson would be over the moon for some of these coins, ie the two 125 Canada collector coin sets...my friend in Churchbridge, SK designed the image on the Loonie for this set of coins....he would also love the 1780 coin. At this time his oldest coin is a Canadian penny from the mid 1850s/1860s with Queen Victoria on it. He is on the Autism Spectrum, high functioning and very knowledgeable about Canadian coins...it just adtounds me what he knows...OMG! I would love to pm you to know if you would consider selling them to his Grandma to surprise him. 😊😊😊
Coins are nice and all but the real gem 💎 of the video is the adorable little dragon costume!!!😁👍👍
Nice finds. 👍👍👍👍
Love the video. ❤❤❤❤❤
May God Bless you & ALL of your loved ones ALWAYS. ✝️🙏✝️🙏✝️
I do love seeing all the goodies you purchase. It’s such fun.❣️
Not bad!!! I love watching your videos, thank you for sharing and have a great evening!!!
Hi Alex and Family 🙋🏽 good day to you ALL.
You live an interesting, quirky life, sure glad you take us along !! Good video !!

I bought one if the Eatons catalogue for 20 and i love going through the hats and shoes, so fun.
Alex...Papal is pronounced > pay pull. Keep up the great work. You two have a beautiful family. Happy Saturday Feb. 10th 2024.
This is going to be quite the amazing auction this Saturday Alex!! All the best to you and the bidders!!
Pretty good for an afternoon outing. Looking forward to seeing you sorting your ñew acquisitions in the recently finished treasure room (pool house). Hope you can get that pocket watch running. Stay well.
If they kept the jewellery back to go through, you can bet that they went through the coins. Was surprised you got what you did.
Possibly. And then sold what they didn't want to keep. Isn't that the way these things work?
That Eaton repro is now older than the original catalog was when the reprint was printed! LOL
As a retired postmaster it was fun watching this.
That was very interesting.
I enjoy your videos😊

It's not all Sterling silver 925/1000, it's mostly 999 or even 9999 silver, and at least one Maple Leaf with a privy mark.
Great find btw. 😀
I came here to say the same thing
If you're interested, I have a solid gold pope mobile, only been shot a few times, practically uncirculated, make me an offer 🤣
Thanks, Alex! 💜💙💜
Oh, I love it when you go through all the boxes and show us all the little treasures someone had mentioned that the US money is very boring the one dollar bill I guess well yeah but then our quarters are quite unique every state and every little island has their own quarter It’s interesting

Love your videos by the way. 😊
Also, the Canadian Maple Leaf is a BEAUTIFUL Coin....!!
We have a popemobile in our local British Commercial Vehicle museum, it was built in Leyland Lancashire using a Leyland T45 base.
I am, as always, in awew 😊
Cool 😎 collection 😎
Alex is your next car going to be aPope mobile?😂. Melissa you are smart to put the hooks on the play clothes. I was always showing the kids how to hang the stuff up.
I like those two Canada 125th Anniversary sets i have a huge collection going, i don’t have those ones
Hi Good show ,the RED BARN Was a hamburger chain in the 1960,s
Always interesting...❤
Why do they put jewels in watches? What kind of jewels are they? I always wondered that. Thanks Alex!
Nice haul.
Thanks Alex!
Small correction, for those _English_ coins, let's simply go with either British or UK coins 😊
Thanks 😊
Very nice coins❤
Very nice Pick up!! Plenty of meat on the bones there! PS I'd have the Silver tested, esp that Austrian one. cheers JJ
THe Canadian parliament is AMAZING!!!

Hi UK money
Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎🇺🇸👍. Very cool estate sale you never know what can fall in your Lapp . One viewer comment about American money is bordering; me I do not care money is money 💰 wherever you go ! Very interesting items you got 👍👍👍👍
Great coins!😊
Pretty good haul 😊

... all so nice & clean ..... good find
Alexander,
That's when men were men, women were women and pennies were pennies:)
Great little amount of intriguing coins and watch and book to see what was cost.
🙋♀️❤️. If they ever do sell the Popemobile, you must buy it!😂
It would be strange buying products based on a drawing in a catalog.
Wouldn't that jail hostel be a hostile hostel? You missed out on a good dad joke Alex!
Check the 1973 canadian mountie quarter, if it is a large bust minimum $100!
I saw a 1975, 5 TL coin of Republic of Turkey. Doesn't worth much, but definitely a history for us, the Turkish people.
I like coins, i have collected a few items over the years…
Your favorite wasn't the KFC Buck!🤔
The 1 dollar paper bill is a misprint. On the right, upper corner. Looks minor, but would still be worth more than face value.
Alex, can you talk more about what you paid for things. It would make it more interesting, even if the profit isn't what you hoped it would be. That's the missing part for me.
Maria Theresia, Empress of Austria, that should an Austrian Empire Coin. 😮
A Thaler by the short look we got of it
Silver coins are typically .999% silver. Some coins are 90% silver. Some American Kennedy half dollars are 40% silver (1965-1967) I believe. Sterling is not a good word to use to identify silver in coins. Sterling by definition is .925% silver. 😊
wow
❤❤❤❤❤

I lived in Ottawa when the Pope visited and instead of a popemobile he was in a popeboat!
Some fun for sure. 😵💫
I wonder when we will be getting coins with the new king's head? That would be ia set I would buy.
the maria theresia thaler is made until a few years ago and they made billions of these coins they are still beiing used in the middle east ive been told as currency. Yours is probably just a 1980 to 2000 version of the coin ;)
There is a pope mobile used by Pope John Paul II during his visit to Ottawa in 1984 at the Museum of Science and Technology in Ottawa
The British 1pound is an older coin it's not that shape now not super old but some people like them

The 2 european coins look like British £2 coin!

And you lived to tell your story ...
@@virginiaf.5764 barely.
I stayed in that hostel!
It's a Maria Teresa taler most likely a restrike.
I love that you are not religious or political but may I say that it might be hard these day.

1903 Indian coin was made up of silver bro lots of love from india❤ I am a currency collector 😊

I remember seeing your video several years ago when you purchased the whole antique store in Churchbridge, SK. 🙂
They are actually all up for auction now here :)bidlive.kauctions.ca/KASTNER-AUCTIONS_as92694_p2?so=2
Thank you.
What are those rockets I saw in your garage??
Papal...pronounced Pay pel ❤
Yeah, and skated over revealing he had no clue of the Pope's name.
Those bigger Egyptian coins will probably be silver, like 64 or 75% or so.
Yes they are
😊
Gilles Villeneuve was my favorite F1 driver.
Take a shot every time he says silver.
Get a tri pod and free up both hands please
I'm pretty sure what you id as a Australian token is actually a Spanish Reale probably a 8 reale
I'm not Canadian but I was born in 74. What is one of those cubes worth?
I'd love to buy the coins if for sale
How much for the pocket watch?
Cool coins!
Oh my, I want that Villeneuve coin!
Why aren't you in the pool house?
I think the pool house is probably meant for larger hauls
Versus sitting at the kitchen table with the wife?? lol
When looking at prices from 1920's one must keep in mind the average salary was $3200.00/yr
