In this video I’m going through my very old British penny date run and having a proper rummage through the pre-decimal copper. It’s one of those simple but really satisfying parts of stacking and coin collecting for me — trying to plug gaps, comparing dates, and seeing how the different eras and portraits show up in hand. I talk through what I’m looking for as I build the run, why certain years feel like they just don’t want to appear, and what makes a penny worth keeping versus one that’s just a placeholder. I also share a few practical takeaways from doing this over time: focus on condition where it actually matters, don’t overpay just because you’re impatient to “complete” a run, and keep it enjoyable — this is meant to be fun as well as educational. If you’re into UK coin hunting, old pennies, and learning as you build a stack, this one’s right in that lane.
