    I know this is not Cointalk lol but still want to share my collection and hope someone shall find it enjoyable. I don’t regularly collect coins, but I bought this set one by one for a special reason… wonder if anyone can spot the thing they share in common;)

    All from London? I know nothing about British coins so maybe this is not necessarily a special feature ... :confused:

    Nice find actually, since the details of the last three are all gone:p but I think one of them is from the York mint

    Oh wow! The third one in my pic is a RII York mint penny, too. I have no study of all the different types though, so no idea when mine was struck. But I know all my coins are from the same 22-year-period.;)

    Have you seen the old British TV series The Detectorists? It is a charming series and well worth watching even if it seems rather calm and gentle humour by today's terms. I saw it on Tubi.
