    I have no idea why UA-cam recommended me this video because I have no interest in collecting coins, but I just sat and watched you sort through the entire bag. Maybe UA-cam knows me better than I know myself 🤔

It seems some genius estate agent has managed to alter the image to such an extent, the post office is now called Canvey on Sea. Fabulous 😂😂

    I think the fried egg error is harder to find than the Jane Austen. The Jane Austen NIFC was meant for collectors and not for circulation while the fried egg error is 100% unintended. I also enjoy error coins way more than NIFCs.

    "Standing on the shoulders of giants" is actual a big diss to Hooke, so even though it sounds like a profound thing to say, it was actually because Hooke accused Newton of plagiarising his work on light, which to be honest, he had to some extent, but Hooke and Newton hated each other, and Hooke was a short man, so Newton responsed with "If I have seen further (than you) it is by standing on the shoulders of GIANTS (and not small people like you)"

    Are they worth much ?
    I know rarity doesn't always mean 'loadsa money ' , I just wondered about errors like that.
    Britannia is my favourite reverse, the Romans used her image on reverse of some of their British coins , imo we should always have a coin with her on it's reverse, :)

    I once got a £20 note from a cash point which had a big fold in it. Opened up, it had a clear un-printed strip running across it. I showed it to others who looked stunned and then declared it worth nothing but face value. I banked it because I really needed the money for what it was. I still think those who said it was worthless were lying through their teeth. That was over thirty years ago, so no internet to help negotiate the truth.

    Yesterday, I saw a thing pop up on my news feed about a guy that had found a mis-stamped £2 coin and it was on ebay for £400. I had a look and it's the golden guinea. I thought " I have a coin tin with £1 and £2 coins in it - about £500, I wonder if I can find anything that is collectible - i'm no expert and I don't know that much about coins ). Anyway, I saw his coin, went through my 100 or so £2 coins and a Shakespeare - comedies, a rugby, a darwin and................... the same golden guinea coin with the same mis-stamping errors as the guy selling on ebay for £400. His coin looks like it's been dropped into a tumble-dryer with a bag of nuts and bolts, but mine is significantly better condition. Is the guy selling the coin on ebay deluded? Am I deluded, or do I have something worth something?
