Great history, thanks!
@@dougstacks thanks so much for watching Doug! 🥳
Those gold coins were lovely and will surely be appreciated by serious collectors because of the high grade. I also like any coin with a Spanish influence too. Great coins.
@@SouthSideFrankie thanks for watching! They tick a lot of the boxes for a great addition to any collection that's for sure!!
Your shop is looking absolutely beautiful , well done Matt 👍
@@kaynefryday6637 thanks so much Kayne, it's been a huge project and it's so rewarding to have it all come together now! Hopefully one day you can drop in for a coffee!! 🥳
Great video - really informative. More like this please! 👍
@@UKDark_Mark thanks so much for watching Mark! 😊
@@ThompsonsCoins Genuinely educational with just enough info and video length. All good! 👍
Looks like I need to come in again and have a proper look and read around the shop.
Some serious history in there..
Good old Gidley
@@Dezy92 my goal is to create an everlasting sense of FOMO which will entice collectors to come back for a visit 🤣
Great Video Matt. I'll see you in the FRIDAY LIVE video tomorrow
@@lauriewilliams8221 thanks for stopping by and checking it out Laurie!! 🙂
Great to learn about this era of our numismatic history.
@@mattivation_inc. Thanks so much for watching I'm very pleased to hear that you enjoyed it 😊
Need people like you and a coin shop like yours in Brisbane
@@MC-py9mc I've got some pals named Peter and Charlie who run Colonial Coins and Medals and they are unbelievably knowledgeable on this subject, you should drop in and visit them! 🥳
@@ThompsonsCoins Thanks Matt, I might check them out!😊 What about in the bullion space in Brisbane, any suggestions?
Matt again a very interesting subject I'm just starting to get into this subject. Thanks for taking the time to educate us.
@@JohnFrazer-jb9oi thanks for watching John! It's definitely one of those rabbit holes which becomes even more interesting the more you learn about it too! 😀
Thanks for sharing ❤❤
@@smartfizi thanks so much for the kind words 🤩
Very interesting
@@kaynefryday6637 thanks for watching mate! Are you coming to the Perth Money Expo this year?
Great history lesson 🙆♂️. That 2 penny cartwheel looks in wonderful condition ( compared to mine🤣).
Keep up the enthusiasm 🙆♂️.
@@jamiefrost2091 thanks so much for stopping by Jamie!! I've always had a soft spot for the cartwheel coins, they have such a substantial feel in hand despite being comparatively affordable! 😊
Cheers for that information and your display wall looks great I'll get one of those gold coins one day 😂 cheers Matt. 👍👊
@@michaehector1018 thanks for watching Michael!! 😄
Great vid. Matt ,wish I lived in Melbourne.
Great informative video 👍🏼 !
Suggestion, an educational video on the 1852 Adelaide Pound coin
Your videos are great Matt, but I would've liked to hear you explain the retention of coinage a bit better. The values of the coins were all intentionally inflated by the proclamation, with the easiest example being the cartwheel penny being doubled in value to 2 pence. So any ships that took cartwheel pennies with them when they left the colony instantly lost half their value.
@@wellactually1510 there are many things I want to discuss but I try to keep my videos straightforward for collectors at all levels, if I had time and didn't have to open the shop this video would have been about 90 minutes 🤣
That is a beefy coin! Really cool!! I have the re-strike bullion of the Ducat! Really cool! The luster on the gold coin is FANTASTIC! When are you going to write a book?
Very informative video. Excellent topics. Hope business is going good mate.
@@desgoulding7154 thanks for watching Des! It's going very well but it's difficult to find time to put together videos, although I can't complain, it's all very positive! 🥳😄
nice video. you have a lot of great coins. your store front looks great as well. i'm in the usa just started to get interested in Austrailian coins.
@@foodini666 thanks so much for watching! If you're ever in this part of the world you'll have to drop in for a visit!! 😄
I'd like to see the history behind the George IV 1827 UK penny minted for use in Australia.
@@GaryBarr-o6o thanks for the suggestion! I'll keep that in mind for a future installment on this series 🥳😄
Cool video Matt
@@silvermad1 thanks for watching!! 😊🥳
My dad told me he and his brothers and friends used to "race" the old tuppence coins down the driveway when they were kids. I was devastated at the thought and nearly cried!! haha
@@nathieboy1987 hahaha well spare a thought for the bloke who decided to "clean the dirt" off his grandfathers 1930 penny before selling it.... He did this by scraping it on his driveway surface 🤣😭
Great video and some beautiful coins! - I think the other intention with the proclamation was to over-value the coins - so the lovely copper coin you had which was worth one penny in the UK, was worth two pence here - so it was worth trying to keep them in the colony rather than send them away on ships where they weren't worth as much. Looking forward to seeing what other proclamation coins you get in (even if I can't afford them!)
@@QuentinChristensen thanks for watching Quentin! I'm sure I'll be able to showcase each of the coins from the series in the future!!
@@ThompsonsCoins I look forward to it (and if budget allowed, might even be able to secure one myself 😊)
Great work mate 👍
@@simonstone3336 thanks for watching Simon! 😊😊
Hi Matt I have just finished your video, I must say I was captivated from start to finish, well done ✔️
@@iancrisp8652 thanks so much for the kind words Ian I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed it! 😊
Ive got the proclamation coin book, a signed one in fact! It’s a very good read and easy to follow!
@@Capncoin Fantastic! I think it's one of the best pieces of numismatic literature available in Australia! I'm glad you've enjoyed it ☺️
I’d love that book. 😀Another great informative vid, thanks Matt. The shop looks great. 🍻
@@JimWemm-ql1ge thanks for watching Jim!! It's been a long journey but it's so rewarding to have it all come together! 😄
Who did your cabinets !! They look incredible
Supercool Matt . Cheers mate 🙏👍🇦🇺
@@markwilliams4362 thanks for watching Mark!! 😄
You not running off on a tangent? Keeping things susinct? Have you met you before? And one of those books could be interesting. Go well with my new bullion bars book
@@stephenbeyer4315 hahaha thanks for watching Stephen!!! I'll keep an eye out and hound Andrew next time I speak to him! 😁
Very interesting Matt. Were the gold coins 22crt ??
@@peterepete-uv1oh the Johannas were but the 8 escudos was 87.5% just to keep you on your toes 🤣 thanks for watching!!
👍👍👍👍👍
@@stephenhill4716 thanks for watching!!
Love the vid Matt, as always a well presented vid 😉
Couple of questions... Are the gold coins 22k like the sovs, or 24k?
And what would a full set cost at today's rates?
Btw... Won't be in Perth when you're here for ANDA.... You'll have to coincide it with my work roster for next year 😂
@@mcduncanpresents9389 g'day mate! The Johannas were 22 but the 8 escudos were 87.5% so there was a nice bit of variety! A full set would cost somewhere in the order of $25k but it all depends on quality so there's a fair bit of fluctuating 🥳
Ahh well there's always next year!!
Currently $1 Australian Dollar is worth 40 cents as $1 doesn't buy you very much anymore
According to the "Australian Inflation Calculator" phone app I use 6-and-a-half cents in 1966 (the year our dollar was first issued) had the buying power of $1.00 today (approximately).
A$1.00 then is worth A$15.73 today according to the app.
@@samanthacunningham2802 it's certainly an interesting time for our currency and purchasing power! Thanks so much for watching 😄
