Thanks for doing the collab my friend! I truely enjoyed it! I was thinking that the barber was real and the walker was fake because of the magnetism but wow the result is really quite amazing! thanks again Speg and i’ll be honest I had no idea what the harp coin and the london token were but I thought they were cool 😂🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🐉

I brought home some train tokens home from South America that look just like that London token. The groves interacted with the coin slot when you inserted your fee.

The horse coin is an Irish half crown! I have one just like it from 41* that’s 80% silver. And yes, that’s a harp :-)

The coin with the harp on it is from Ireland. Eire is Irish for Ireland

JD Coins Irish half crown 2/6 - 2 shillings and sixpence, a horse and harp

Still watching the video but judging by the way the edge on the reverse looks I would say the walker was in a money clip and liberty was gold plated

silver dragons lives near me, even told me what his favorite lcs for bullion is. great stacker and great dude

The 1962 coin is an Ireland half crown inscription is "leath choróin" (Half crown) although they were typically referred to as a "two and six" (2 shillings 6 pence) which was an 8th of a pound, or 30 pence. A pound at the time was 240 pence Which explains why Britain and Ireland went to decimalized coinage after about 1,000 years of so. The other "coin" is a grooved automatic token. These acted more like a key, the distance, number, and depth of the grooves would allow the machine to operate or a door to open

very neat - I would never have thought they were used for jewelry - great teaching vid :)

Good morning. Saw dragons video on the coins your testing. Like the collaboration. Fun quick video to watch with morning coffe. ☕

I saw this @Silver Dragons and voted Barber real. ... but couldn’t commit on magnet one. That was unexpected. I was thinking it was plated steel with plating worn out except rim. But the rim only magnet was a mystery. Mystery solved! ⭐️🔥

I have a few silver-dollar coins from the late 1800's & early 1900's, which I took to a local coin dealer and he said they were fake because they were sticking to a magnet. After seeing your video, maybe all along they are real. What are your thoughts on this?

I have an ASE that acts similar to the walker. Every test ive done including the gravity test days its silver. Also it was purchased @ provident. Im thinking something foreign in the planchett makes it react differently. Its a cull eagle too. Good info Speg😊👍

Been looking forward to this video! Also, I've been branching out into foreign coins more... might look up those gifts SD gave you. Great collab!

Great collab and Detective work!

Very cool Speg. Thanks for the info!

Sigma Magic Metal Machine is definitely on the list to buy eventually. Thanks Speg for the vid and Silver Dragons for sending in the coins for the test.

Hi Spegtacular. Thanks for another entertaining video. I’ve seen some walkers like that online that were gold-plated to accentuate the design(sun etc).

I have a 2018 1 oz fine silver dollar coin and it sticks to a magnet does that mean it's fake

Irish punt coin. Turned into the Euro early 2000s

great investigation and explanation

@11:52, the "horse coin" is an Irish half-crown, which was made obsolete by decimalisation (in both the UK and Ireland) on 15/2/71. The "harp/ bow" is an Irish harp, the same one that Guiness uses in their marketing. :) A half crown coin is 1/8th of a (in this case, Irish) pound, and that one you have is actually marked as two shillings and sixpence on the coin, which _is_ half a crown, so a crown is five shillings and a pound is 4 crowns. Therefore a pre-decimalization British or Irish pound was 20 shilliings and because a shilling was 12 pence, a pre-decimalization Irish or British pound was comprised of 240 pence. ..... There's more if you're interested. :)

@@Spegtacular There is probably enough history to write a book, but I will try to summarize predecimal British currency, _i.e._ before it was converted into 100 pennies to the pound that Americans would recognize, and is used by most countries today, dividing their currnecy into 100ths. So prior to 15 Feb 1971, 1 pound = 4 crowns = 20 shillings = 240 pennies, but the penny was divided into 4 farthings, so the pound was divisible into 960 parts. Although there were many coin denominations, the system was mostly reduced to pounds, shillings, amd pennies, abbreviated to £sd (or Lsd). By around 1960 the farthing was worth so little it was withdrawn, but there were 1, 2 and 3 penny ("threpenny bit") coins right up to decimalization. The threpenny bit is really cool - a 12 sided coin made from yellow-ish brass. Further back in time there had also been fractions of the farthing, all the way down to 1/4 and 1/6 of a farthing, or 1/16 and 1/24 of a penny, so the pound had been divisble into as many as 5,760 parts! All fractional farthings had been withdrawn by 1868. Then there was the guinea, that was 21 shillings, which led to weirdness like the "quarter guinea" which was a crown (or five shillings) and threpence!. but that was only issued in the 18th century. There have been numerous other weird factions of a pound issued, such as one third of a pound, which equates to 6 shillings and 8 pennies, but if you want to dig deeper into that world you should check the wikipedia page on pre-decimal British coinage. The current/ decimal "half pound", which is known as "50 pence", in the predecimal era was occupied by a paper 10 shilling note. There were several pre-decimal coins that survived decimalization - same physical coins used, but with an actual value that differed from what it said on the coin - e.g. "a shilling" was worth 5 (decimal) pennies (new decimal coins had "new pence" in the design for a number of years) even though historically a shilling was 12 (old) pennies. So one florin/ two shillings became 10p , one shilling became 5p , sixpence became 2½p ….. Yes there was a 2½p coin until 1980! But there were no decimal 2½p coins minted, only the old sixpences were used. Everything smaller was withdrawn, including the 3 (old) penny coin as well as the old penny, ha'penny and the fathing, which had already gone by around 1960. The replacements (smallest coins, not exact value equivalents) were 1 pence, 2 pence, and also the ½ pence, which was withdrawn in 1984 . The 10 shilling note was replaced with a 50p coin, and the crown was eventually "replaced" with a 20p coin in 1982 (I am not sure why they didn't go with a qaurter, like the US.) There was no direct replacement for the crown, but commorative crowns continued to be issued long after decimalization . :)

I really liked how you explained your findings. I’m new to this whole silver world lol. Any advice or videos to watch on how to buy, where to buy, range of acceptable pricing? I’ve gone on many sites and if silver is say 22.00/oz why is it 30-80$ to buy the coin? I really want to learn but nobody I know does this. Again any help to steer in me in the right direction; so I too can learn, is greatly appreciated. Thanks Jenn

12:35 "that country" is Ireland by the way ^^

Very cool Speg, great that Silver Dragons coins are the real deal. The Irish Half Crown is copper nickel. They were silver from 1928 till 1943 and from 1928 till 1937 had the words SAORSTÁT ÉIREANN meaning Irish Free State on the Obverse.

Very cool info my brother 👍 Cheers from western Australia

Great video, really enjoyed it. Question, how do you feel about US comememorative silver dollars? They are 90% silver and genuine US currency yet their premium is much lower than other 90% US silver? I have not been able to find a video on them. Do you stack them?

I think someone had that Silver dollar as a necklace before with magnet wires and that's the reason it has magnet now

I enjoy both your channel and Silver Dragons. Bought a poured cobra from him. Keep up the good work, both of you.

I have a 1796 liberty dollar coin but it sticks to magnet is it real still or not ? Is it still worth anything found it at the malls parking lot

Interesting. Enjoyed watching & the Eire was a nice gift from Dragons. 🔥🐉

Speg I remember the Dragons and Yankee coast to coast show I was one of the ones who said send it to Spegtacular. I've been waiting to see this collaboration for a while now. I new you'd figure it out. It's a Harp the coin is from Irland.

Great analysis

Thank you for the video.

I saved a dime from my childhood I thought was silver but everything I read says 1977 dimes are not silver. It is shiny, the edge has no copper layer and it sounds different when you drop it. I did a magnet test and it barely stuck on a super strong magnet. Perhaps it was coated. With something?

Eric Silver Singletary: It works (I've done it using salt instead of baking soda) but it takes the shine off the coin. It also makes the room stink of sulphur (like rotten eggs) for a few days afterwards because most of the toning is caused by sulphur in the atmosphere and this is released again when you clean coins with this method !!

Hey Speg, no plucking on KZread! lol Good video, good information.

The 1962 is an Irish half a crown. There were 8 of these to the pound. Predecimal.

Dragon is a fancy boy lol. Jive video and great info. I appreciate this type of stuff, since I’m still learning. 👍🏻👩‍🦳🌼

Excellent video.

Speg, you mentioned the different alloys for different years. This would be a very interesting subject.

Nice video speg. The harp crossbow from minecraft Dungeons. Lol

I stand corrected, it is Irish, pre decimal, value about $90

I saw these when he had them on his video. I thought they were both real . I didn't know what to think when I saw the mag stick to it. I don't think he said there was a collar around the the coin. Glad things worked out for him.

I love these videos about fake coins

Soak it in 70% rubbing alcohol sealed for 24 hours that should take that glue off.

Wow, that is a tight bezel on that baby. ahah Very cool. Threw me for a loop!

Wow, u have perfectly clean and manicured fingernails for what u do. What about an ice cube on silver bar melting quickly? Does this prove it’s real? Love ur work! Thank you!

I would guess it was plated with a magnetic material

It doesn't matter any more. The thrill is gone. Prices are ridiculous.

I thought everything was real except that walking liberty. I need one of those machines

I have one of those walking liberty coins that came from a money clip and I have another one that came from a keychain and all they are is steel coins, fake as hell. In fact on one of the coins the plating is chipping off of it. They were made just for money clips and keychains.

Good thing that coin didn't end up in my hands. I would have probably destroyed it thinking it was fake. I never considered magnetic material ending up on a legit piece of silver.

I would like that dragon Logo in silver 😎 I'll check him out Thanks Speg your the best

The first one is an Irish coin.

It must be a pcs to a bezel

Good video glad they turned out to b real

Pew pew pew... machine gun style😂... great video Speg 👍 Love the new intro😁

Horse coin is an Irish eire

I bring my magnet with me to flea market and test the sliver coin if it sticky and I can ask for better price and have a knowledge of 90% sliver.

Dragons needs to get a metal magic machine too!

And, before I watch it, I'll just go out on a limb. (LOL), and say, "BECAUSE IT"s COUNTERFIT". Well, obviously I was wrong, but I'm still a little baffled at the ability of a bezel to make any part of a 90% silver coin magnetic. Hummmmmmm!

The horse coin is from the country of Ireland.

A nice Irish (Eire) horse coin there😎

I have a 1984 quarter that was for sure a cheater coin. All it needs is the string. The wear on it is crazy.
