Everytime it’s called, make a variable to set it to the old value so if it changes again, you have the old value! Something like:

local testing = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Coins -- anything
local lastValue = 0

testing:GetPropertyChangedSignal("Value"):Connect(function()
lastValue = testing.Value
-- whatever code
end)

Use :GetAsync with the datastore to get it, :SetAsync to save it to its last value.
