Rare Coins, World Coins, MORE COINS! With Richard From Harry's Coin Shop

From the perspective of a new world coin collector just going after any coin from any country find Richard's deeper perspective on importance and diversity of world coins inspiring and making me think bit more deeply about the aim.

That 2 thaler is a great deal, ive been hunting for one for years and never seen a real one for under 500

A closer look at the ancients would be cool too :)

Richard always impresses me with his knowledge. But he also impresses me with his ability to communicate and teach. It’s like he is taking information directly out of his brain and putting it into my brain.

Another reason to punch holes in coins, is so they can be more easily carried (tied together).

Go Richard!😂😂

fun fact: the first Thaler was in Tyrol, Austria. "tal" literally means "valley" in german so makes sense. Tyrol is a very mountanous bundesland and since people cant live on the mountains they all live in the valleys. so "thaler" makes sense hehe

We have a guy like him where I work, long hair, long beard, but he's the nicest guy ever, you can't get mad at him

Damn! He drives a really nice car lol

Very impressive knowledge. Richard is a coin slayer.. Thanks much.

What a nice guy! And knowledgeable. Great video. He's correct about the historical connections that coins bring to us. Not only the political leaders and royalty pictured on the coins, but holding such a piece in your hand, you have to ask, "What did buy with people buy with this coin back when it was new? The services of a blacksmith? A mug of grog?" It's amazing to hold such a thing in your hand.

Time spent with a humble master is never wasted. This kind of deep knowledge will save us all in the long run. Thank you Richard and Silver Dragons for sharing such goodness.

I really enjoying watching your trips to the coin shop. Such guys that are passionate about what they do. Keep these ones coming.

Some of that old silverware with actual silver. How much is some of that stuff actually worth. Like what percentage is legit?

Very knowledgeable

Would love to have this shop in my neighborhood..😯

I like watching content with Richard, a nice humble guy, reminds me of Fun with Flags with Sheldon Cooper.

The Dutch word he was looking for is 'Daalder'. That used to be the currency in the Netherlands in the old days. Hence 'Dollar'

i like the "belgium 5 fr" coins :)

For those of you wondering where the word 'dollar' cam from, the was a silver mine in the province of Joachimstal, which I think is in modern Czech Republic. They struck large silver coins of high weight and purity and a reputation for their quality followed and the coins were called, Joachimstalers, and just shortened to Talers. The Dutch Daalder used in Nieuw Amsterdam was an imitator. The dollar sign comes from the Spanish piece of 8. It origins are on the reverse. A serpent wrapped around a pillar of Hercules. This coin was made up of 8 Reales and was easily subdivided into pieces as small as one real. The size, weight and purity of this coin was the basis of the U.S. silver dollar. This coin was already in common use throughout the colonies. It is also the Pirate's silver treasure coin as opposed to the gold Doubloon which I believe was equal to 16 pieces of 8.

I share Richard's passion. I started collecting coins when I was 9 years old. I am now 71. By learning about coins you can learn about history, economics, geography and world politics. I started with U.S. coins and sold that collection as a down payment for my first home in 1979. There was dry spell until after 1997, my dad passed away and I inherited some money. Took up U.S. gold type sets which I sold again in 2011 to help pay for a retirement home (which I now live in. Then I took up Latin Monetary Union coins and did that until 2019. I sold those coins to work on another collection. The coinage of the Soho Mint in Birmingham, England. The first coinage in the world struck under power (steam) was in 1789. The U.S. did not start until 1836. I saw the cartwheel Richard was offering, that is 2 ounces of pure copper. It was unpopular because of its size and fewer than 500,00 were minted. On the other hand the one penny version (1 ounce of copper) was very popular and 44 million of those were struck. The first official government coinage struck under power. The 1789 striking was a 1/2 penny token.

I've been going to harrys for 5 years now and I know you like this kid but for me he is killing the coin shop. First he is so arrogant and second he puts anything good in the back now to sell online. Because of Richard I really only go to liberty or center street now. I was still using harrys for 90% and Harry always sold barbers for the Same price as all the 90 and now I'm sure because of richard his barber halves were 9 over regular 90% so ill just take my business elsewhere. Sad because I was harrys biggest fan

Ever wanna feel like a rookie, remember Richard is in the arena🤯

I ordered some coins over the telephone from Harry's and I'm happy with my purchased. I spoke with Adrian and Harry and they're two of the nicest people I've done long distance business with.

The Royal Mint has been making coins since the 800s, it was established by King Alfred the Great.

The only thing I don't like about being a silver stacker is the fact that you have to pay MORE than it's worth when you buy it, then get LESS than it's worth when you sell it. The only way to make a decent profit is if the price makes a big upswing.😠

How good are the silver 45 bullet

Once again these guys tricked me into learning stuff.

Richard is a very nice guy. Always willing to help, and what I like most about him is that he doesn’t make you feel stupid he’s always willing to teach you and help you learn every time I go into Harry’s I always love talking to Richard, and that goes for everybody at Harry’s coin shop as well. King 🤴 Richard! Lol

I don't know anything about coins but I'd listen to Richard talk about them all day. Fascinating stuff. Also love the videos Dragon.

YOU THE MAN RICHARD!

Be nice to see what British coins are available as the British market is huge.

from the dutch the name was: leeuwendaalder ;) much respect from the netherlands. We were also famous for the Ducats

I don’t even like world coins, and doubt I would start to collect them at this point, but Richard makes them fascinating. His knowledge of world coinage, even back centuries ago, is amazing!

Got to love my world coins..

Nice Australian 1937 crown in there

Next Harry's coin shop video, I say make it an even hour. Trust me, people will watch it.

Richard is awesome!

I just assembled a type set of 1935-1945 British pre-decimal coins. Farthings to crown. No gold sovereign yet. It represents my ancestral heritage and the coin values are fascinating, Making change was for smart people. Great video!

They are so good at what they do!
