I haven't been collecting for long but I waited tables half my life and my dad would tell me what to look for . I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU for a while now and i listen to you!! Thank you for helping so much!!
It was very kind of you Daniel, to point all of this out to my fellow coin collectors, in hopes of them not being scammed for lack of knowledge. Yes, it's very king of you, and I personally want to thank you for being so kind in doing so. Much luck to you always, and may you find that very special coin your looking for that would fulfill all your coin hunting assperations. It takes a very special kind of person to be concerned with what happens to strangers; I'd say a loving and kind hearted person to say the least. Best of luck to you and yours, you obviously deserve nothing less! Take care Daniel and, good luck!
Great Video, Daniel. You are my personal teacher as a Newbie collector. You get right to the point, and your knowledge of coins is unsurpassed to ALL others on RU-vid. Thank you, thank you!! Keep doing what you're doing, I have so much to learn :-)
Amazing video. I've been collecting for years and just now decided to start looking at my coins and trying to understand the differences of errors and coins to look for. I'm so glad you guys call these people out. They need to be stopped robbing people of what they think is real and being scammed.
I apologize on behalf of the human race that you had to make that video. I still watched the entire thing, making sure there wasn’t something I could learn. Thank you for all you do.
i love going to wreaking yard & pull carpets up & back seats today i got 2 64 D & P nickels plus a 64 D penny & a bunch of others. but i did do my first 4 bank rolls & i dont look for damage coins i look for errors & i do weight everything. & i do watch & lesson to your videos thanks for helping me & many of others
That was a great video! I've been messing around with coins and the Red Book since I was a teen. Even though I knew most of the information in this video, it's still nice to see and freshen up the knowledge on. A great video for people just getting into coin collecting, or even people expanding their collections to rarities and errors. Thanks!
Knowledge is power so thanks a million!! I'm new at this but am already intrigued. Coin collecting is a fascinating and realistic hobby that could change your life!
I have a bucket of junk copper pennies, save copper. The junk Zinc pennies can't even go through the Coinstar; best to flatten them and use for jewelry or throw them in trash can. You can melt war nickels, but way try because it's only 30% silver and trying to remove the slag is never easy. To smelt silver junk coins you need a furnace and lots of coin to make bars and rounds, very expensive. But everyone needs a hobby lol. Nice video Daniel!!
If you want to be a coin expert, buy The Big Red Coin Book. Not sure if that's the exact name of the book, but it's close. It cost around 220 or 50 bucks. You may be able to find a year old one cheap. Thanks for the info, Daniel.
Thank you so much for this post Daniel. An excellent demonstration of examples of coins that were subjected to becoming D.R.T. (Destroyed Right There)..Well done!
OMG! lol, this is great stuff. You're awesome for earnestly trying to push past language barriers and show people how they can determine what is an error coin and what is a damaged coin. I can tell (actually I'm picturing this in my head) that your trying to tell someone that their coin is damaged and they are refuting what your trying to tell them. This probably happens all the time, and it frustrates the heck out of you. You're seeing it more in boards and forums and it just fuels the fire. Keep in mind that there are always going to be people out there that are just looking at how much they can make off coins. They really don't care about the beauty of coins, the history of them, nor do they want to learn or understand them. Your doing a great job, keep it up! I'm learning a lot of stuff and hopefully one of these videos will break the through to some people and they'll 'see' what your trying to share with them. :) Cheers! .
I can tell you from my experience that searching for DD, Mint errors and everything in between can be overwhelming sometimes. I really do appreciate Daniel and his knowledge.
Man I love your videos! So informative!! I wish we lived close so I could go to your shop.. Maybe learn a few things in person.. Truth be told you remind me of my late Dad who we was into coins; got too sick to teach as much as he wanted.. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you Daniel, I started collecting when I was in my teens, I was always fascinated with coins and money, my collection was stolen by a family member and I lost interest. During Covid I started collecting again and I’m learning so much, thank you for sharing your knowledge.
"I own em, I have em, I can create em..." I felt that. When I was young, I would be amazed at anything different about a coin. I agree, when uneducated about the way coins are minted, it's very easy to think a coin has an error. Personally it was easier to deal with the disappointment of being wrong when you learn how coins are minted vs being told every single error you find is not an error. Thank you man for really trying to teach people the right way to collect, not by telling them what to collect, but more like what to avoid when collecting. I hope that all made sense lol. Have a great weekend Daniel
Great video, thank you. I was aware of most of it, but my naive self, did not realise that people are trying to make money from purposely damaged coins. I appreciate the heads up. Will check out the help forum as well.👍😊🇨🇦
Excellent upload, Daniel! Really like these long form show-n-tell videos that you do! Your desire to share your knowledge and educate others is to be admired!
great info, perfect example right now on Ebay is a "finger print cent" someone is trying to sell a 2014 cent with a fingerprint on it for $80. i saw it and thought no one is stupid enough to buy it. but after watching this video i worry someone might buy it. as always great video!
I have to admit over the 30 years of collecting and searching coins I always put out the dryer coins thank you my friend for this helpful information video.
I have finally decided that when someone replies to my comment trying to sell me any coins I am going to encourage them to list them on eBay or Etsy. I am so done with those who keep trying to sell me their pocket change just because I comment on your videos. No fault of your Daniel, I will continue to comment when warranted. Love your sharing of the knowledge.
Right you are right Daniel those are not mint errors ppl need to start listening to you instead of arguing with you.. through my experience when you find a mint error what ppl don’t understand a error all of the devices will be raised the same it’s unmistakable I had to teach myself like I tell ppl God put ears on you for a reason all you have to do is listen.. ppl now days will argue with a fence post I don’t get it But Daniel you have a lot of patience God Bless you Brother..
Thank you so much for showing us about coins and how or what to look for . Appreciate all you do for us and inform us about coins , damage , value . 🙏🤗❤️🙏
7:52 Thank you for this photo. I found a dime in a new Dime Roll with a hole in the middle. I have searched everywhere for examples of this type of damage. You are right, definitely not a mint error, your dime example, is exactly the same.
I really like what you have done for coin collecting. I will be purchasing from your store in the future to help support what you do. Unfortunately, I am on a family event mission in Canada. Will do this when I get back to Texas. I did find a Canadian here that sold me some Morgan Dollars at $22.50 a coin so I got a great deal. See ya soon Mr. Daniel, thanks for everything you do.
During WWII, my father passed the boredom, aboard the USS New Jersey, by using a spoon to repeatedly taping a Panamanian Balboa and eventually made his wedding ring.
Thank you for sharing your damaged coin collection Daniel! I have a small collection myself and will soon post a first coin for review! Again great stuff you post! 👍
😂😂😂 how embarrassing for the person who was arguing with you shame on them because u r such an amazing person for the coin collector hobby thx for always being honest ❤😊 greatly appreciated
Thank u I've found a few errors but I don't think I've seen any u shown. I think it's a disgrace to the Hobby to have this fraud Taking advantage of those still learning they should be charged as such. I hope we do put these thieves out of business I think it's important to have professionals like u to help the generations to come and keep this Hobby booming 💥
Thank you so much! Today 7/24/23, I took a trip to BOA in No. Providence RI. One $10 roll of quarters an at least $7 was pounded so phony😢? I am very new, your video has just opened my eyes and I am so angry about this BUNCH OF BANK ROLLED JUNK... So thank you so much! I truly just got beat out of my money.. So folk take his word and be on 😮 alert. 🤔
Half way through the video, the coin with the hole in the center looks like it was shot with a 22 caliber gun and that’s why the reverse had a nipple type protrusion to it. My husband has several just like that one, ones that he shot with a 22 rifle himself. They look identical to yours unless yours have the drill marks scratch inside the rim of the hole. Amazing the damage coins endure. You video was very helpful thank you.
Your teachings of information and exspreances with coins, has given me the reality of the coin collecting world, iam a baby here, iam so new and so lost, I jump in thinking ,this cant be that hard, little did I know theres so much to be learn, many site has done nothing but confuse me, with those 10.000 error and other error that are to be worth thousands, but iam finding it's not really that simple, because I have several of those high pay off error and iam not able to do anything with them, most of those post are out dates 3 and 4 years old, and those value has change drastically, just how you talk about the grading a 67 and a 68 are very different in value though those two numbers are so close, iam just not sure what to do anymore with coins I have,I keep following your sites that I may find my solution, thank you again, Peace.
Yes they might not be mint errors but coin collecting to me is about where an what the coins have been. I might be new to collecting only 2 an half year's an first thing I learned was collect full books an collect because of the history of the coins. Even though they are Home Made Errors Some are Still Cool.. Yes the Etsy coins are a joke byfar. Your video's an Find Your Video's more valuable then 95% of other's out there. Thanks for All the Info You Give Us Wish I was Closer to be Your Apprentice lol Keep Up The Great Work
I’m an absolute beginner and wouldn’t think twice about any of those coins. It’s pretty clear the difference between mint errors and sanding or drilling or filing. I’m sure you’re making this video for the more… hopeful…. Beginners but none of those would have fooled me. On the other hand in another video you stated what someone thought was a double die was actually die wear or something of the sort. I’d like to see some examples of that as I have quite a few coins I think may be double die but it’s more like “letters outlined slightly off” if that makes sense. Edit:Edit: now watching the video you made about this question. Thanks!!
I search halves. When I find any of the known errors, it always comes with the apprehension that the good ole ring 'o death in going to make it worthless. Those poor halves have been machens sorted so many times it's on a lot of them.
More of "Dealing with the Public" 101. Be patient, be tolerant, be well-armed, stupid people do stupid things. If everybody was the same this would be a very dull place, but why do they have to come to MY store? Sigh...
Hey hair stylist for 50 years. That'll make you crazy. I always said, 15 minutes in my chair is too much. 😂. I was blessed to have that job. But at the end of the day 🤪 lolo
I have a penny that's basically a blank planchet but there's a small amount of the penny was stamped and it was the side opposite the date but less than a quarter shows and it is bigger than a penny because of the stamp.there is no price guide for no date ones that have a small part of the coin. Its the liberty side of the penny. Its copper and have a blank planchet thats more modern. Never graded em.
That’s true the more you can learn the better off you are and I was impressed with some of the things that you had showed me on what you had done those coins to make them look like you know, there were rare or special cones that were made like that from the factory But now since I seen what you talking about, makes a lot more sense is those type of people that making it hard for the people like me and other that we’re trying to do this the right way you know it sucks not right, but life ain’t always right, but hopefully that’ll put a stop to a lot of it so anyway thank you for the video and good luck to you
Why would anybody want to read things? They may learn something. Great information Sir Daniel! Your knowledge is very valuable to me and others! Have a great day!
Good Morning Daniel!!🍵 They are like soda pop with the fizz shaken out of it!! And seriously Daniel, I don't understand the bias against toning! Other than those "gone wrong" exceptions, I think it's beautiful!!
New to the channel, your tutorials are very informative and most helpful. Trying to go on your community page from the link in the description below. I have a 1982 3.1 with no mint mink and I also have a few 2.8 are these varieties common?
Can't fault a new coin collector for trying to find that new discovery coin, but I understand the point. You always provide great info for us new coin collectors thank you
Yea my husband thinks he's something special I agree I think it's his passion for the hobby and the fact he turned something he loves to do and made bank off it just like my hubby .so yeah basically this guy changed my husbands life got him addicted to collecting now dealing it's a rewarding hobby that can easily become a successful business with a PayPal card and eBay but you have to love it it can change ur life you will hit road bumbs but get back up it's worth it Dan here teaches us allot of skills so people a year or more into this don't mess the flow up listen to him he loves this and all his video s are 120% accurate dannial knows what he's doing
During WWII, my dad served aboard the U.S.S. New Jersey. When he had time he'd tap on a '34 Balboa and made his wedding ring out of it. He had me try my hand at it but I was to anxious and 6 years old, I bent it. Silver was in everyone's pocket all the time back in the day. I think I just threw it away, like an idiot.
