A Box of Coins From a Car Boot Sale For £20 - Was it Worth it?
I went to a local car boot sale early on a Sunday morning. I bought a wooden box with some coins in it. I paid the asking price of £20. Was it a good purchase?

You are now Coinelius Collectus! King of coins!
That Woolworths recipe probably had very faint print,as over time the ink fades.
The Maltese coins show a facsimile of the George Cross, awarded to Malta in 1942 by King George VI. Hence St George and the Dragon.

Another great video ! Lovely 1917 Farthing and '31 Half Penny, with an excellent '36 penny (really great condition) - not to mention all the silver and the Yes Badge, well worth £20 - look forward to the next one !
Nice little pick-up. Glad you allowed us to look over your shoulder while looking through

Thank you once again for sharing your coin hunts. For me, the 1936 penny was the outstanding find.
Nice haul of coins you picked up! Some in cracking condition! Nice one
The football clubs came from a set which was issued on the centenary of the FA Cup (although not the winners from the first 10 years or so when it was a mainly amateur competition and was won by such mighty clubs as Old Etonians and Oxford University). These came free with Esso petrol. The date on the other side was the year(s) that the club had won and who they had beaten in the final. I have a set but, being made from cheap metal, they are prone to corrosion

If that 1966 Australian 20 cent has a wavy baseline on the 2 in 20, it's worth around $200 - $700.
What a neat little box and collection. Love the video Coin patrol keep it up 🎉❤
The Rupee you stated as from india is in fact from Sri Lanka/ Ceylon.

A Pandora's box line that is always a good find at a bootsale. Some very nice coins and oddities
A neat find, thanks for the video.
The silver really boosted the value, nice little collection.
Some decent quality there! It sometimes pays to look up things like that 50 franc coin. I came across a 1958 specimen in about VF/XF, which Numista lists at £76 (low mintage). Sadly your 1952 effort is only worth £2.60 ... sorry about that ;o)
The Yes badge is collectable, Yes (prog not pop) have been going from late '60's to the present day.
I heard that Yes song in a pub recently and have been racking my brains trying to find it! Never expected to have found the answer here of all places! Thank you Paul! (And no, as far as I know I'm no relative of Steve!)
The Caribbean quarter could very well be a SILVER coin of 1956..
Great finds!
Great stuff. I love buying job lots from the boot and not searching through until I get home.

Wow Paul those coin are on very good condition and it was very surprising to see two 20c Australia coins and one was a 1966 and it a shame it wasn't what is call a wavey line and it would have been made in England if it was.A good mixture of currency nice pick up thanks for sharing cheers mate. 👍🇦🇺🖐
I have the identical silver saint Christopher here from the 80s which I bought in a jewellery shop , so definitely real silver

The animal on the South African 2 Cent coin is a wildebeest. I believe it is known as a gnu in some places. It was very cool to see that come up! Thanks for sharing your new acquisitions with us, Paul! One question - what is a JPM token? I have a few but I don't know what JPM is or what they were used for. Oh! And the coin from Asia that you showed us is from Sri Lanka, not India. 🙂

Hi Andrew. JPM International, Ltd. was a British designer and manufacturer of slot machines. They were in pubs form the 1970's. Some paid out jackpots in tokens that you could exchange for items at the bar.

Some excellent conditioned coins there. The 1936 penny looked almost uncirculated. Nice few bits of silver with the 1946 shilling and Canadian 50 cents as well as the Christopher Collects charm 😁. Bulls? Cows? Or were you just trying to milk it? 😂. The Football tokens were issued by petrol stations (Esso?) with the main side showing the winning team's name and crest, and the other side showing the clubs they beat and the year. Not a bad selection for £20

Paul, I'm hoping that the Irish 1968 1d. is the chickless variety it appears part of the second chicks body is missing, you'd have to put it side by side with a standard 1d to tell. If so worth £15-20 in that condition. You could also look at Tim's Coins he does a specific video on the 1968 chickless variety.
