Thanks 🙏🏻 I must admit I wasn’t aware that Coin Patrol had done that until I watched his last but one video. I’m very grateful for the support and response 👍
They are great designs, and as a set maybe worth more than face value, but individually, in my opinion, they are fairly common, going on their mintage figures.
Thanks Paul. Yes, the Marconi looked too perfect to be a circulating variety, and I always check the little dots around the portrait, as in the majority of cases they aren't quite aligned, meaning they are circulated.
They’re getting better with disguising those fakes, the first lot of 2008/2011 were truly dreadful, but some of these 2014/15’s are passable to the untrained eye. Superb Olympic Centenary, which makes the hunt a success within slim pickings😂😂
I seem to be getting fewer and fewer finds, but with the odd nice coin thrown in. Agree on those fakes. Normally a "chocolate" coin stands out like a sore thumb, but the latest ones can sometimes be missed (and I have missed some in the past). Now I hear there are some dodgy Salmon 50p's knocking about 🤷🏻♂
@ Yes but those dodgy salmons are privy marked, so easy to spot. Unless there’s a new batch I am unaware of. I bought my salmons in Dec 23 & Jan 24, so I’m glad to be away from any future dodgy ones 😀
Enjoyed watching. Shame about the fakes and having to keep an eye out. Do they weigh the bags to make sure there are correct quantities and no fakes? I’m surprised the pound coins got in.
The fakes weigh roughly the same, so if a bag of £20 has a fake in it, and the cashier weighs it, it will not be noticed. As for the pound coins, although I didn't do it myself when I worked in a bank, I know some cashiers would make up full bags with bag of another denomination to keep the amount right e.g. putting £1 of pennies into bag containing £19 of 2p's to make £20. It's very rare, but does happen.
Hi Glen, nice Olympic. Have a question to do with different circulated and year set coins. I know 50p B.O.B and £2 Abolition, Navy and Magna Carter are different are there any other I can't remember ? And on a Monday Mix is it possible to show the correct flip sizes for pre decimal coins please, as the channels I watch don't seem to use them 😂☃️👍
The only ones that spring to mind are the 2022 Jubilee with the John Bergdahl obverse, and the Coronation 50p with crowned portrait of KCIII, although the latter was not in an annual set. With regards to flip sizes, I should be able to do that, although I don’t use flips on my pre-decimals either 😁
@mackemmoolah 😁 with regards to the £2 Abolition was it released in the Royal Mint hang bag ? Had a quick look on eBay and can only see ones cut from a set or proof ☃️👍 Also while I remember, I had some 50p and £2 in self adhesive flips in a box, recently went to put them in a sheet and down one side of the flip it had come undone. When I seal them I also push them flat with an old cash point card. I flipped them less than a year ago and as I know you flip buncs these might be worth checking again. ☃️👍
@@ian.s424 I've had no issues as yet with my flips. Also the Abolition coin did have its own individual BU release in an RM pack, and there has been a BU version found with "Standing on the shoulders of giants" on the edge, so another error to look for. 😂

Not the best of hunts, very little in the way of fines, seem like there’s less and less, of either the common£2 and the rarer ones 😢, still a nice Olympic two pound fine 🙂
It’s been going downhill for a while. Dunno if it’s more collectors taking the commemoratives out of circulation or that there is not much coinage about in general.
Coin Patrol sent me over here - subbed. lets get you to the thousand!

Nice hunt saver, even if found early.
An early good find usually eases the tension, and I think I'd rather have that than relying on a last gasp find in a final bag! 😁
nice Olympic find and i like the Shakespeare set, some of my favourite designs 👍🤘
They are great designs, and as a set maybe worth more than face value, but individually, in my opinion, they are fairly common, going on their mintage figures.
i've got a couple of sets mate and you're right about the price. i'd like to find an edge error one though 🤘
Nice Olympic Centenary for your Star find,I agree I think that shiny Marconi is from a bunc set, that Mary Rose cleaned up lovely.
All the best.
Thanks Paul. Yes, the Marconi looked too perfect to be a circulating variety, and I always check the little dots around the portrait, as in the majority of cases they aren't quite aligned, meaning they are circulated.
Well thank goodness for the Olympic Centenary, so hard to find commemoratives at the minute. x
8 finds a few weeks back, and just 12 in this hunt shows how things are declining.
A lovely Olympic Centenary find MM 😊👌. That Mary Rose cleaned up a treat 😊.
The MR was loads better than when it was originally found. Not much in the way of finds, but at least I managed a low minted keeper 😁
Nice London 1908 👍
A decent find among a pretty tough batch. Thanks again btw I appreciate the help you have given. 👍
Nice Grubby Olympic Centenary but a good one to find 😊
I’ll have to give it a go and cleaning it up a bit! 😁
Coin patrol sent me here! I have subscribed and liked! Good work keep it up sir!
Appreciate the visit and thanks for watching 👍
Coin Patrol sent me over here... looks like his Dirty Mug got you to 1K subs! Woohoo!
Certainly looks like it! Thanks for stopping by 👍
@@mackemmoolah us UK coin collectors got to stick together! :D
A nice Olympic centenary 😊
I’m surprised you managed to complete the Shakespeare’s from the rest of the finds
Great stuff Mackemmoolah 👍🏻
Me too, as there is a distinct lack of commemoratives lately.
Nice star find. I agree with your Marconi, ex BUNC. 🎉
Certainly has all the hallmarks of one.
Nice Olympic Centenary Glen makes this hunt worthful 🙂🙂🙂 would be even better if you would find a bee or fried egg error in that £1 bag 😁😁😁
I’m not that lucky M 😁 but at least that OC saved this hunt.
Nice Olympic 👍 return rate in general is on the decrease
Very true Gavin. I’m not hitting on any supposed cash ins. Maybe too early I don’t know.

Not many commemoratives for 480.00. 😢Keep the Faith the Commonwealth Games 2 pounds are still out there. 😊
I obviously need to start raiding your fishing spot 😂
