He shared a clip which starts with someone cleaning their pre-decimal penny, something you should never do as it could tarnish the value of the coin.

The user said: "Here we have the 1894 pre-decimal penny and this was actually the last pre-decimal penny to feature a young head of Queen Victoria or otherwise known as Bun Head.

"As you can see, the obverse features the bust of Victoria facing left hair in a bun."

Discussing Queen Victoria, he revealed how she was the longest reigning British monarch at 64 years until Elizabeth II in 2015.

He added: "The reverse shows the helmed Britannia seated facing right, holding a trident, hand resting on a shield with the date below. The 1894 penny in extra fine condition easily sells for over £160."

Then turning his attention to a second coin, the user explained: "This is the 1882 H penny from the United Kingdom. Unlike other varieties, the H mint mark on this penny is found underneath the date rather than to the left.

"The H is very small so make sure you use a microscope as it can get very worn too. On the obverse is the young head of Queen Victoria.

"[Meanwhile] on the reverse side of the coin is Britannia seated next to a shield and holding an almighty trident. The 1882 with a H mint mark is very valuable and has been known to sell for £280."

The video has been liked numerous times since it was shared. Out of the comments, one said: "Another informative video, thanks." While another chimed in: "I have four of this coin."
