Today we take to the great outdoors to discuss different types of silver coins and why someone might prefer coins which aren’t entirely pure silver. What type of coins do you prefer to have in your collection? Let me know in the comments! Thanks to Vintagetimegems for the great question!

Nice work Matt , remember the Aerogard next time .👍🙏🇦🇺
Thanks for watching Mark! Great idea too! 😊😊
I had NO idea about GST being attributed to non bullion silver and gold coins. Thanks Matt. You certainly had your problems with “THESE FLIES”! You were doing the “Australian Salute”! Onya Matt. Another GREAT video! Cya! 🇦🇺👻😁
Is that your backyard Matt 🤔
Hi Stephen! In a sense it is, but unfortunately I don’t own the location 😂
Thanks for watching!
Hi from canada again Matt … our silver coins were 80% silver …. USA 90% … I have a good sized world silver coins … many 100 years old …. I no Australian tho …. many at less than there melt would pay … ??? CAN YOU PLEASE DO A VID ON AUSTRALIAN.SILVER COINS …. thanks
Hi William! I hope all is well over in Canada!
That’s a great idea and I think I could probably do a nice overview on the old Australian silver coins, so in the future keep an eye out for something 😊😊👍
If you have ever wondered where they got the 92.5% figure it dates back to royalty demanding 7.5% of every ounce of precious metal be forwarded to them. Greedy bar studs. Good to see you back Dad. How many flies did you eat? 😂
Royalty certainly knew how to run a profitable business though right?! 😂
Thanks for watching mate! I had a few do their absolute best to get in there but managed not to eat any, probably would have been my breaking point for the day 🤣
@ThompsonsCoins 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Matt. I suggest aeroguard or bushman’s next time you do an outdoor video, 😅
Thanks for the suggestion Ivan! I’ll definitely have to look into some of those options 😂
Hi Matt,
Question from someone whose worldly collection’s slowly growing…
Do you have an app/site recommendation for keeping track of ones coin collection? I noticed Numista offers this option for those with an account, I’ve also heard recommendations for Coiniverse (apparently also have an app too)… What are your thoughts/suggestions?
Old World coins are the best
aussie coins get very boring
I agree! I love all the variety in size shape and design with older world coins!
The Japanese rectangular bars are fascinating too!
Nice video, thanks for the info.
Thanks for watching! ☺️
Hi Matt great video I love the Olinda Arboretum look out. Some other great places in the Dandenongs are Burke’s lookout, Alfred Nicholas Gardens and Olinda Falls.
Thanks for watching Jared! I love those spots and I think I’ll definitely make my way over to a few in the future too ☺️ thanks for watching for the great suggestions!
Very informative commentary Matt, full marks for not missing a beat with all those bugs around, you were certainly giving the great Australian wave a work out.
Cheers Peter J 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for the kind words Peter! There were a few moments of contemplating whether or not I’d be able to finish filming but I’m glad I held it together 🤣
That is a NICE BOULDER!!! I have a handful of such coins and love them as much as any of my bullion coins! Hope you are well and love the nature! Well said about the lifetime of a coin and all it may have seen. I have always thought that.
Hahahha outstanding quality boulders in Australia as you can see!
Thanks for watching! I’m glad to hear you’ve got some older coins too! 🥳
I always learn something from you mate. I have a question for you, “Where’s ya hat with the corks to keep the fly’s at bay”? It will free up your hands and get them back to expressing your words.
Thanks so much for the kind words Paul!
As for the cork hat, that’s a sensational idea, I wonder if somewhere will make me a custom Thompsons Coins one? 😂
Great spot for a video! Have to love the pesky flies! Another informative video!
Son has got into the old coins, some consist Of Chalgrove Rome coins, Charles I shilling, Elizabeth I sixpence, halfgroat and Edward I pennies. He also loves the history side of them.
Didn’t realise GST was attached to the silver and gold coins.
Doesn’t matter where you head if there is view like that! Gippsland, Phillip Island, Great ocean Road, too many places. Throw a dart on a VIC map
And see where it lands!
Thanks for watching Dianna!
It sounds like your son has a great collection of fascinating coins!
I agree there are so many stunning locations in the state, I’m looking forward to getting out and filming a little more in this style in the future! 😊
The great outdoors, nice🌲🦘🪰, interesting take on silver content of coins. Thanks for education.J.
Nice Vid Matt
Shame the files became the Star of the content 🤣🤣🤣
I guess that’s showbiz Phil… One day you’re a star and the next you’re standing in a field playing second fiddle to a bunch of flies 🤣 thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the video Matt. Very informative. The GST component on non-pure silver coins is a good tip. That can be overlooked. I have to admit I like the designs of the world coins. Like you said, it can be quite fun to take them out and look at them.
Thanks for the great question! I suppose when dealing privately with other collectors the GST isn’t a big factor but it certainly can impact decisions when buying from a dealer! 😊
7:38 I do enjoy sitting down and going through my collection, but rarely do I do so when naked. Whatever floats your boat, I suppose 😂😂
Well I thought it was funny 😂😂 No offense meant 🤓👍
Excellent video Matt 👍🦘
I collect foreign circulated silver coins. I know I will not get a good return on investment but I am having fun. I use Numista frequently. It is more of a type set rather than a date set.
