The old £ S D had so much character, individuality, intriguing shape and centuries of history. We lost so much when forced into decimal system.

When I was an apprentice joiner I was replacing my Grandfather’s floor in his living room, the house was built in the 1700’s. I found a penny in the dirt dated 1776, still got it in a drawer somewhere.

I recently picked up a 1919 KN in Utah (US) for a few bucks. Also picked up a 1918KN, and the 1953 as well.

i collected coins as a kid, and my grandparents gave me a huge amount (nan born in 1899 grandad 1894). I had all the coins, like threpence, silver sixpences, crowns, guineas all of them. And around 60 of these penny coins of different ages. some very old back in the 1800's, i remember some so smoothe you could just about tell it was a penny. That amazed me as a child because i understood despite being young that for them to be that smoothe they must have been through millions of pockets and hands. My dad had the huge £5 notes etc... Anyway, they simply went missing when i went looking for them years later, and as it happens many years ago now. Always wondered whatever happened to them all.

Love how descriptive you are in your videos thank you

Thanks. I’ll go through my tubes.

Another splendid video - clear and concise, as usual. There is an 1895 pattern penny (F777), an example of which sold at auction the other day for a hammer price of £10,000, that has the same 2mm gap between the 'P' and the trident but has an arc of dots from the shield to the sea on the right and a cross above Britannia. I wonder if the Royal Mint removed the dots and the cross and used that die to mint the first 1895 circulating pennies before changing to the 1mm version. The other distinguishing features of the 2mm variety also appear to be on the pattern penny.
There was also a 1919KN in EF condition that sold at auction last month for a hammer price of £700.

Great review of some notable dates/errors to look for 👍

I'll give you Britts this, your coins are pretty cool👍

Another excellent video Paul full of information as always.

I done my first penny hunt recently, from a lot of 7kg purchased at my local auction house.
I was quite successful in my view,  only five dates missing, from Queen  Victoria .
I will need to check them again for the variations,  it may be something amongst the lot.
Thanks for the video 👍

Thanks Paul, very enjoyable as usual.

Love these videos CP , very useful. I usually have a glance through the pennies now at my local coin stall 😆.

What about the High/Low tide 1902 + the ones with "H" and the other "KN"'s
