Is it worth £1 or £17,000? How to find very valuable Victorian Penny Coins!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 вер 2024
- I met Alvin at Antiques On High in Taunton, Somerset and we chatted about Victorian Penny Coins. Alvin is a coin dealer and in this video he’ll tell us about the minuscule differences that make a huge difference when it comes to value of these coins. From £1 to £17,000…you’d never spot the difference, I know I wouldn’t…but we will from now on!

I have collected coins now for over fifty years, and have enjoyed the hobby. But I would like to tell people, please do not under any circumstances clean coins, please leave exactly as they are. So many people ruin coins by cleaning rubbing them whipping and polishing them. Doing any of this, ruins all their value and collectors will never want them. Just leave them as they are, so please don't do this. Many wonderful coins have been ruined by people cleaning them.
Thanks for the info
@@DavidHarperAntiqueshillo i have old coin i sell....
2:12 i have one how can I sell it off@@DavidHarperAntiques2:45
Nice tip ❤
I unfortunately fell into that trap when I 1st started,cleaned a coin I found that had been lying for at least 80yrs,luckily it wasn't a valuable coin I learned my lesson with.🧐
Great vid David great info …… he didn’t want you holding that coin did he 😂
So here I am in Philadelphia, wishing I was across the Pond in that
wonderful shop discussing coins with you. Books, books books!!
I have been an Antiques dealer for about 55 years and at 70 years
old have built up quite the Library on Antiques. Can not learn without
books. There is where the real research is. Thanks for this, it has brightened
my evening.
and thank you Laurie for your kind comments…brightened my day! cheers

as a young kid
keen on coins
back in the sixties
on holiday in
conway as it was
known back then
i came across a
1937 edward V111
threepenny bit
for sale in a little
antique shop...it
was six shillings
and six pence...
i implored my
father to buy it for
me because
they're very rare
and valuable...
even back then...
but he refused to
pay that much for
an old threepenny
piece despite my
tears...it was the
one that got away
big-style...later
realising his
mistake he joined
me in collecting
coins but sadly the
horse had bolted...
i used to offer kids
at school
fourpence for a
threepence or one
and a penny for
a shilling if they
could find me rare
dates or variations
in their small
change...those
were the days long
gone but not
forgotten...can't
wait for you to
tackle old
postcards david...
that's been my
special interest for
the last forty
years or so.
Thank you Eod, postcards will crop up for certain!
Pity you didn't buy it 250 thousands today
I find that hard to believe. There were none released into circulation and so the circumstances of one ending up in a shop are very unbelievable. Most though KE8 didn’t even have any coins made until the 70’s when a box of his coins were unearthed from the royal mint archives:
@@lovecraftianwalrus4490
that's to the best
of whatever source's
knowledge you
quote from...it's not
definitive in terms
of possibility...i know
what i saw and
had in my hand...
back then i was a coin
collector and
i was certainly able
to tell the difference
between the
two busts of the
different kings...
i was a grammar
school kid
not a dummy from
a compy...
finding this darned
coin back then
has haunted me over
all these ensuing
years...
it's been like
a numismatic
albatross around my
neck...missing
out on something
big in life is always
a real downer...
if i got to know
beyond a doubt that
it was a
fake of some sort
or that back in 1966
i'd momentarily
entered
the twilight zone...
or whatever else...
believe me
nobody would be
happier about it than
me...i'd be overjoyed.
I was the underbidder on the slender 3. At the time thought unique but there are TWO.
A great video, thank you for posting! I have recently inherited a huge unsorted stamp collection, which came also came with an unexpected coin collection. They were passed on to me because my father has had them untouched in the attic for the best part of 40 years. He finally accepted that he was never going to spend the time to go through the literal sacks of coins and stamps that were just waiting to be sorted and put in the right album/given away/sold. The collections had been started by my great great grandfather and though it had been passed down through four or five others before coming to me, none of them have touched any of it, except to add some more coins to the bags here and there. I haven't a clue what I'm doing and though I'm really enjoying learning, it is a mammoth task. I would be very interested on your thoughts about the APPs that identify your coin for you and even tell you what it's worth. Are they really that accurate? I've been using one to start me off, so I at least know what I'm looking at and so far it seems pretty spot on. But I can't help feeling that they surely can't have captured every tiny detail and quirk that goes into making a coin rare or valuable... Then I remember that we have self driving cars now and it suddenly doesn't seem like such a stretch. Now I just have to find an APP that does the same thing for stamps because there's an awful lot more of them than there are coins. God help me, this is going to take years...
Cue everyone and his wife sorting through grab boxes of Victorian pennies this weekend! Great stuff as always, David.
I know and I must have missed one or two over the years!
Good morning I have old 1958 conic ghnan
Lol the way you keep taking the coin and he just smoothly takes away lol
the way you keep taking the coin from his hand ... and he keeps taking it back out of your hand
that little back and fourth war going there is hilarious 🤣🤣
He doesn’t like parting with his coins!
I found this hilarious. He didn't want you holding them did he 😂
I was an Church alter boy in the early 1960's and one of the Clergy and I would go through the Sunday collection himself looking out for any silver and myself swapping any Vic or Edward pennies for Queen Eliz ones. I must have handled thousands of pennies, I sold some to a coin stall in Woolwich market to buy others to make year runs. We knew nothing about die marks or 5 over 3 or dot pennies, if only I knew, but I had and still have fun collecting.
So interesting, going to look through my box now
So can you imagine trying to tell the Mrs "But If you look through this magnifier you'll see the three is a little bit thinner than normal!"
I found an 1875H (in poor condition), in 2023 for 10p! Also got a 1918KN for £2. On the not so scarce side, I found a BU! 1938 Halfpenny, also for 10p!! Also from the same place, FOUR Calm Sea 1957 Halfpennies - yep - 10p each!
Wonderful share. interesting subject on coins. Really enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing. 🪙
Thanks for watching
You've been the helpful out of all the coin sites I've watched
Thank you
The 1863 slender 3 was resold and got 8,000 only 3 years later. The original 17,000 buyer well overpaid and it shows the folly of trying to speculate in coins. Right now the market is down the toilet.
I thought the great rarity version of the 1863 Penny, is the one with the Die Number under the date, I'd love to find one! I found an 1875H (poor condition) last year (2023) for 10p!
I also narrowly missed out on an 1860 COPPER in the mid 90's, VF, for £185. I bet that's worth a bit now!
Quick question, when you say the slender 3 do you mean the number 3 on the coin? or the thickness of the coin itself ?
@@michaellooney1089 I've got the 1863 die no.5 (Two known) Cost a lot !
i got quite a few vicky coins too never thought of the money side of anything i got just love digging up old history
Very funny.
Great video, very informative!
Thank you!
Condition is everything in coins ,,😊
Rarity too!
1863 Appears to be a year of rarity for certain mintage's of coin from pennies through to solid Gold Sovereigns for example below.
1863, Queen Victoria Gold Sovereign standard Gold = £ 500 to £1200,
1863, Queen Victoria Gold Sovereign with Rothschilds Gold Burrs and swarf - Die 22 #827 = £14000 to £27000,
Got a penny dated 1963 with a small 3if any good .
I go metal detecting and I have loads of these coins so I'll watch the video later and see what value they are
Let me know if you’re make it rich!
Those pennies went back and forth through more pairs of hands in 5 minutes than they probably did at the time lol , 😂😂
Hi there, I got a 1963 half cent with the two birds behind ,can u value it
Just found 1933 george v one penny from my late fathers old coin collection and much more.
No way
Been told its fake.😢
I have one of those pennies. In fact, it is quite thick and heavy. A hole was drilled through it many years ago and I would think it was done to take a fob-watch chain, the size being around 1/4 inch in diameter. Probably worthless now, but maybe not. How would I find out?
It’s a Google search or get in touch with the antiques Centre. contact in description
@@DavidHarperAntiques Thanks, David.
Hi David
Great video 👍
Any way I could get in touch with Alvin as I have 2 of the 1863 and would like to know more ?
Thanks
hi, if you get in touch with the antiques Centre. Contact info in video description. Cheers
I remember in the sixties checking our change for a 1933 penny , not knowing they had all been accounted for🙄
Hoi there any one no the true value of my 1834 penny of William IV in mint condition,my local shop hear in Northumberland offered me £2 but I wouldn't sell it for that price,it was dug up from my garden whilest shifting soil around,just thought I would try utube
I depends on condition, but in poor or fair condition it could be worth $15 USD or 11.71 gbp, again those prices are depended on condition.
How much it value of 1859 Victoria one penny coin?.I have one in mint condition.
I have old coins one 1891
My oldest was 1866. They were all stolen 😢
I do have the 20 pence peace I couldn’t believe it but now I have another 20 pence copper coin 😊

I have a 1799 cartwheel penny in quite good condition, there is hardly any wear on it at all, I don’t suppose you would have any information about the old cartwheel pennies would you. ? Thank you.
It’s a google search or contact the antique Centres…link in vid
@@DavidHarperAntiques Thank you.
@@DavidHarperAntiquesI have the exact coin he has there is it worth anything
Hey, there wasn't any cartwheel pennies issued in 1799, only 1797; in half penny and penny, the half penny weighs in at 1oz and the penny weighs in at 2oz, in 1799 there were only the half pennies and no cartwheels. Hope this helps.
@@vintageavenuerarecoins Thank you, I had that coin looked at and it is a half penny, Thank you for the reply, I'm keeping it as my grandfather gave it to me when I was 9 years old.
The other video said that coin.cost 34.000.if you git one
Tengo 5 de esas cuanto pueden valer
I have this Victoria coin.from mlk Malaysia
Surely there's a difference betwixt polishing a coin and merely wiping off old greasey, smeary, grime ¿?
Yes there is, but you never want to wipe a mint state coin, you want to dip in a coin dip solution then rinse then blot on a micro fiber fabric.
Unfortunately coin collecting is going same way as stamps, the modern coin has become a cash cow for the royal mint ,would also warn Chinese imitation coins are now as good as original have a fantastic copy 1933 penny from Ebay,,only deal with a reputable seller or dealers
Its oddly coincidental, I paid £17,000 for 20 x 1oz gold britannias in 2016, at current rates the scrap value of those 20 x 1oz coins is a little over £36,000.
Why would anyone speculate on a seriously overpriced worn penny?
Very different market obviously
@@DavidHarperAntiques I still don't understand the logic, assuming one thinks of their currency as real money (which it isn't) why would anyone speculate on an item that has no intrinsic value. It's not like as though it's a 400 Yr old masterpiece. Philately has me baffled too.
I have over 30 Victorian shield back (gold) Sovereigns which have cost me much the same as that single penny. Having expressed my confusion, where preserving ones wealth is concerned, bitcoin is yet another confounding conundrum; I would have switched out of it into something more tangible at it's previous high to less fashionable commodities of intrinsic value.
I could go on regarding metal detecting....... I'm happy to watch them from the comfort of my armchair, but they'll never accumulate as much than if they purchased from a local coin shop.
@@DavidHarperAntiquesI come back, to you after some months, and still cannot see the logic in spending all that fiat currency on a copper disk, that used to buy a pint of beer.
Even today that £17,000 that once bought me 20oz of gold could still get me 9oz of gold. If you had 9oz of gold in your hand, I dont think you would see that victorian penny in the same light.
I've come to the conclusion that perceived value is not in the item itself, but how much fiat currency you have accumulated after having sold it on.
I could go on regarding hyperinflation when bartering replaces currency........ what value a copper penny then?
Pity you didn't have superglue on your fingertip,then he wouldn't keep taking the coin from you.
He wasn’t keen on me having it was he!

Hi no disrespect intended when I say iv noticed when people in comments ask you if certain coins are worth anything you never say you always tell them to ask else where why is that? We have subscribed to you to learn about coins .... CONFUSED 🤔
My channel is all about antiques, history, stories and introducing people to other experts in the business - my role is to make the films. I pass on clients to the dealers and auctions who’s job it is to value, buy and sell and who very kindly give me their time for free. This is a non profit making passion project for me

Alas, no Victorian pennies here, or not many anyway. They do however do the same thing with American ones. The holy grail is a 1943 copper; they made pennies that year out of zinc over steel because the copper was needed for the War. Few to zero coppers were made, so the few in existence are worth a small fortune. (Tell Alvin to keep his peepers peeled!) If he gets drilled ones, off someone's fob chain, jewelry crafters would be all over them!
Leave his MF coins a loan 😂😂😂
He’s very protective!
