    I used to work in a reference library in the 1960s. Somehow got to the point where we had lunatics coming in every day demanding we value their coins! As if the public library was a coin dealer or auctioneer.
    Some - consulting the Seabys coin catalogue we typically referred them to - would actually return to the desk, demanding their money there and then!
    What caused all this? The local newspaper, with their regular valuable coins column - which stupidly never bothered to explain to their readers what a 'mint' quality coin was, or how that market actually worked. The problem didn't end until a group of local coin dealers - as sick of the situation as we were - threatened litigation against the newspaper.
    But I do remember a bright spot. Middle-aged lady with a 'cartwheel' penny. Not that uncommon - I have a couple myself. After consulting Seaby, she arrived at my counter demanding the £50 that catalogue said it was worth. I gently explained that - firstly - the library didn't buy antique coins, whatever they were worth. And secondly, Seaby was referring to mint or almost mint coins which hers most certainly was not. What did mint mean? It means, madam, that the coin is essentially untouched since it left the Royal Mint. She flew into a rage - how could such a thing be possible for such an old coin? She knew what I was up to! I was trying to rob her of her £50!!! I eventually had no choice but to have a couple of janitors lift her by the elbows and deposit her on the pavement outside.

    Just to clarify the whole 2p story, for the alarming amount of people that seem to be struggling with what was quite well explained.
    If you have a 2p from 1983 that reads 'New Pence', then you're laughing.
    If your 2p IS NOT from 1983, but says 'new pence', it's still worth 2 pence.
    If your 2p is from 1983, and doesn't say 'new pence', then see above.

    20🔘3 on it, so it looks this almost like I described. And five and ten pound notes with mistakes on them extra, printing ink smudges on the edges, extra on the mirgins. And on the opposite sides with print of 10's about fifteen of them on the face of Austin country side picture and meant to be on the other side of the note. And on others of some notes with missing print on the Queens neck and Winston Churchill eyebrow and the clock face of five pound notes, you can see the st Steven's tower it says three'0'clock and some on other notes saying quarter to twelve on some five pound notes and extra print on the roundals at the bottom of five pound notes with extra circles of black ink off centre and missing ink on note numbers and extra blobs as well. Notes with black ink on some of these numbers or on the bank of England bit and none of this washes off I have tried. How much could all these be worth. I had a row with one of those coin UA-camrs over a set of non circulation of a bad of coins that my bank said it had come from a bonded Wearhouse and all forty 50 pences saying they are only worth face value when they have been bagged up in October 2016 peter rabbit and kept at one of the bank's wearhouse's and I bought in 2019 when they were going to close up the counter service and I was told that they sold the rest of the coins to the post office and this person will be unnamed but in my eyes a clown has thousands of UA-cam videos and other videos on other platforms . Bonus on five pound notes if you look at the two figures half way down on the women she has a penis sticking out and those with bad eyesight, near her arse of the woman on five pound if you turn the notes horizontal you can make out a grinning face of a lookalike Ricky Chevaiz that's it from me also checkout two pounds with extra lumps on the skull of Shakespeare's coins and two pounds with the wheels in the centre of the coins with extra blobs of metal sometimes two or three wheels with extra bits of metal some have only one and the pip's on the front side only going half way round or the top and bottom pips gone but only pips on the left side and right sides that's my tips to look out for

      If you had watched it properly you would have seen it was 1983 coins with NEW pence instead of TWO pence tails side. Any earlier date was correctly struck with NEW pence (worth two pence) and any later date would be a fake. Maybe worth something?

    I have a 2012 silver shield one penny, took me a while to find out about this coin. It's a Lucky silver penny for Newborn babies. It is a non circulating coin although I got it in my change, I check my change all the time. It hasn't come out of a pack and could be mistaken as silver coins did come in a pack from the Mint in 2011 again they are NIFC and I think would be worth more than my coin. Keep checking you'll never know what you will find.

    Yeah yeah i know people!, 180 years ago , I posted a letter with a brand new Penny Black on it 😮 if only I'd have realised that nearly 200 years later how much it would be worth! Then there was that rainbow I saw with some little fella dressed in green, silly hat, mad buckled shoes, dancing round this shiny big pot with like yellow light shining out of it, it was only when i thought about it the next day, i wondered if it coulda been a leprechaun with a pot of gold?! 🤷‍♂️...But no one thinks at the time 😮.. AND DON'T get me started on that Horde of Coins i found in a field, hundreds of them with CAESAR on them, i just thought they a promotional giveaway for the Dog Food company, and they just dumped the leftovers, so i drilled holes in them to make buttons for me mums knitted cardigans! It was as i was drilling the last one, i thought, wasnt there a JULIUS CAESAR?...😮....What am I like, hey! 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️🙄....was thinking i might buy a lottery ticket on Saturday....but whats the point? I just don't seem to be lucky, nothing out of the ordinary EVER happens to me! 🤷‍♂️🫤
