The irony of a metric tonne of imperial coins 🤣

Thank you for spending the day with us! It was a lot of fun! Looking forward to the other videos 👍

You were very lucky to have been given the chance to look through such a lot of pre-decimal pennies.

Looks of time going through them.

Damn that’s a lot of coins. Let’s say the average coin in there weighs around 9g. 1 tonne is 1000kg which is 1,000,000 grams. Divide 1,000,000 grams by 9 and you have approximately 111,111 (one hundred and 11 THOUSAND) coins! And if one older penny is 1/240 of a pound, that’s over £4000 (I think, if I’m wrong please correct me).

Thankyou

Fantastic video guys. Start again I want to see them all close up 😀
Great to find some 1950 pennies and that 1862 was in great condition.
Looking forward to seeing you search through the rest of them 👍

凄い量でしたね。
選別お疲れ様でした😊

Isn’t the 1916 broken tooth error also called the 1916 recessed ear coin?

Great idea, I thought you were going to do the whole ton and some nice finds, lots of early copper coins in there too. That is amazing to get a tonne of pennies, I worked out there would be around 106,000 pennies in a ton as each weighs 9.45 grams, but given average wear it could be 108,000 - still just 1/25000 of all the bun head pennies minted between 1860 and 1970 - 4.162 billion coins. Finding the 1919 KN is a real coup, with a mintage of 683k, thats like 1 in every 6,500 pennies! My guess is you guys did around 50 - 80kg of searching or about 8,000 coins.

Your dedication is wild, I wished I would have done something like that, would keep me busy all day long!

Now that’s a coin hunt! Great video guys

Interesting Collab video!

Nice video. I have what feels like a metric ton of predecimal halfpennies to go through at some point! The cheat sheet was a good idea - some of those rare pennies are a bit tricky to catch...

My hobby is metal detecting and have done for 40+ years and have just about found every era UK coin going from gold 🥰 silver 😍 and bronze 🤩. In my vaste detected coin collection one coin sticks out above all others that I cherish the most ahead of my hammered gold coins and roman silver denari and countless silver hammered coins and that coin is a humble Victoria copper penny. 😀. On your list I didn't see the date of my coin maybe because it is one of the rarest dates for the Victoria penny series. 🙂. The other reason why this particular coin is my favourite in my metal detecting collection is the fact that out of the thousands 😀of old pennies I have found this particular coin has got to be the best condition of the lot. 🤗. My coin has been tentatively graded at EF which as you know is very seldom seen and displays a fabulous deep green patina. 😊. Oh I nearly forgot the coin is a Victoria 1875 H Penny. 😛.

Awesome!

👏👏👏👏👏 More 😎💜🍀

Do these old pennies hold much value? I have 4 shoe boxes full handed down to me, never sorted them.
