That Japanese coin, as soon as you showed it, the graffiti jumped out. Some idiot had attempted to put their name on it. The Grant Half Dollar was blatantly cleaned as well. Quite a few of those pieces shouldn't have been sent for grading really, but you live and learn. Even expensive mistakes have positive consequences in the long run. At least your coins have been confirmed genuine. That Dutch gold coin was a beauty!
Thanks! And I agree, something where I need to learn and show that process off to other people so they don't lose the money themselves when going to grading.
Thanks for this video Christian. Beautiful gold from the Netherlands. Everywhere one looks, coin dips and even the suggestion of using acetic acid and baking soda are presented right along with coin listings and values. Unfortunately, these tips seem to give the "OK" to "clean" and are misguided. If you understand the chemistry, its a no-brainer.
4:00 Not only is there a large gouge near "AMERICA" on the reverse, but there's a scrape above the eagle's head that obliterates one star and wipes out about half of another. There's some serious gouging under "STATES" as well. Gold coins are soft and prone to this damage and sometimes the graders will let one instance slide. I think because there are THREE separate damaged areas on the reverse, it moves the coin into "Details" category. Luckily this coin is very popular and there will still be multiple buyers for a Details example.
This is glorious, I been tryin to find out about "what coins are best to collect?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. You ever tried - Wonenry Sonucas Approach - (just google it )? It is a great one of a kind guide for uncovering a proven options trading method to get fast results minus the hard work. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my friend Sam at very last got excellent results with it.
I LOVE you young man thanks for your videos and for teaching someone your mom's age a thing or two always smile and dance life is too short so live it ONE LOVE ALL LOVE
Sorry about the couple of misses, but that's how this goes. I think you handled it well. One minor comment for future disclosures is to hold the label with the grading info steady on the camera for a moment because we all want to see that closely. Great video as usual. I especially like the focus videos on a single coin, those are very educational.
Sounds good. I've already filmed my next 3 or 4 grading unboxings (unfortunately since I'm at school I can't film right before I upload) but in about 6 months I will have corrected it!
"Da-lon-a-gaa" I had problems pronouncing it until I visited a friend that lives there Glad I run across your video, it helps me for sure decided what and when to send to grading
This caught my ear too. Perhaps a better phonetic representation would be "Duh-LON-uh-guh." I have a little vial of flakes I panned out of a sluice there - seeded for the tourists, of course! Pretty part of Georgia. But this guy does know his coins!
The amount of inflation that the huge 1912 ¥1 silver coin demonstrates is mind blowing. It's the size of a US silver dollar from the same period. One yen is worth less than one cent, 0.85 cents to be precise, today, March 12, 2022. Unbelievable.
Hey TT, how did you send this mix submission? As world coins? Regular? Modern Value? Errors Attribution? Did you specified the quarters as errors missing clad or PCGS does it and then charge you. Can you make a video submission of modern coins for regular gradding and at the same time sending some errors for gradding? in the same submission? Thx.
Concidred damaged because its a abbrasive cleaning not just a dip whatever they used altered the surface can see it in the fields and thats why ur not seeing no damage nice coin tho
It would probably be my dream job to work at a coin shop. I'd be happy to sit in the back room all day and sort coins and bills. The only problem is that I might spend my whole paycheck on silver
Details grade always sucks. Some of these were obvious however. I understand the high value stuff is worth getting graded regardless, however I would really examine everything under a loupe so you can set your expectations right. First time seeing you -- love the content.
I didn’t realize that the Colorado coin is worth so much money and that’s a lot of money you went from 5975 right up to 6775 that’s a huge jump nice coin
DANG those gold peices looked fine to me. arent those quaters like 25 50 buck i think you added them as like 200 dollars. still worth a shot on gradeing that stuff keep up the good work.
Ducats are Netherlands .. I have a 1615 1 ducat which is 0.11 oz t so 1/5 ducat is about 0.03 t oz My coin is in a NGC AU55, and it’s actually the finest known lol …. Still it’s only worth probably $300
The 1853/2 Damage is a cleaned coin with some residue it appears. Nice coin either way, variety gold is awesome The one dollar gold right after is definitely damaged where you pointed another amazing coin being Dahlonega. Very cool stuff! Love the coins in the video and great editing!
Wrong - Residue would come back in a body bag - it probably was repaired ex jewelry piece .. you don’t show a good enough closeup for a long enough view. Check 9:00 and 3:00 or 12/6 for possible removed mounts Possible holed and filled or possibly filed rims even though there is a separate code for filed rims it’s considered a type of damage If it had residue they’d return it in a flip so you can get the residue off the coin before it further destroys the metal
I'm actually not sure, but it's some type of silver cleaner that removes the top layer of silver from the coin. I should look into it. Tons of coin dealers do it in a non-invasive way (just the truth, not trying to defend it) and when done properly strips the coin of haze untraceably. A lot of newer people will scrub around and make a coin obviously cleaned instead of 'conserving' the coin.
@@TreasureTownCoins interesting! Hope u do a video on this (even if it's a short one). Wld be interested if I should do this with some circulated coins to remove some dirt or etc. TY so much for clarifying this btw! Was very kind!!! 👍
@@inhishonorinfinityx3961 For sure! I'm planning on filming one in the next few days - will probably release October 29! And will be more clear about the process.
@@Coincollector81 Makes sense - I have to keep them moving (most aren't mine, some are, but just holding doesn't make sense for someone who's more into buy/sell)
So you're buying circulated coins that are cleaned, paying to have them evaluated, and then trying to re-sell? Sounds like a market top to me. I hear there's no silver coins available. Buyer beware.
Bummer. But glad others can take away some lessons, and they were bought at a price where it's really a matter of not making much money instead of losing.
@@InTroutWeTrust Ok - honestly that seems a little high but you never know! Grading probably wouldn't hurt if you have a batch of other stuff to send it in with, otherwise it could cost a good bit of money.
I had PCGS grade a 1962 Benjamin half dollar with a DDO on the date you could see without a magnifier an they missed it an just graded it as a MS 64 how does a high end grading company miss something so obvious? I got screwed by PCGS guy who graded it must of been smoking meth?
Don't buy coins from companies like "Great Southern Coin" which many times appear to be good deals but most of the raw coins they sell are "problem" coins or they are extremely exaggerated in their description. Also, I would love to make you a listing on a special "Treasure Town" grab bag in my ebay store (which is actually empty right now). I have been selling on ebay for 11 years with 100% positive feedback. Your channel has really come along! I remember when you first started. Well done lad, well done.
Hi Sagan - thanks for the comment! I don't sell on eBay because the grab bags can be returned, and since I put a lot of effort into mine and making sure the value is strong, I don't accept returns. If someone returned one and didn't send back all the coins on eBay, I'm out of luck, and I've had lots of success nearly selling out quickly on my site. Appreciate the offer though and thanks for sticking with the channel for a long time.
I have a Lincoln Cent penny 1968 Denver mint. Also I have a 1944 wheat penny a1948 wheat penny a 1951 wheat penny Denver mint a 1945 wheat penny known mint mark a 1946 wheat penny 1959 known mint mark just to name a few.

Very interesting 👌range of 🪙💰coins in type and value. Because I want to submit some to NGC, to which I am a subscriber, your comparative results give me some insight how grading works. 😞Sorry that some did not turn out as you had hoped.
