This guy is exactly what I'm looking for he's straight to the point spits pure facts no run around no fast talking making sure you understand what he's saying 🙏 love the vid
I enjoy the fact you are trying to help people learn. Everyone starts somewhere and learn at different paces. I remember all those half dollars I had with the shelf doubling/machine doubling and thinking wow...look at all my double die halves I have. LOL Well, as i said your videos are great and I know I'll to continue to make mistakes in the learning process but it definitely is fun learning what is this and what it isn't.
I’m a diamond appraiser and fine colored gemstones stones dealer! And I must say, you nailed it when it comes to identifying items. Pictures just doesn’t do anyone justice in terms of knowing what it is! I must have it in hand to give it a good assessment. Thank you! You’re really good at what you do!
Hey Tim....sorry to ask here but my Mom passed away a year ago and she had a collection of raw gemstones, where would one go to get them appraised? I've checked with the jewelry stores and pawn shops near me and none of them deal with raw gemstones.
Aloha Shawna! First of all I’m sorry for lost. I’ll try and help you get some answers. Let see, when you say rough gemstones. What kind are they? Or do you know. And are they big minerals or crystals? Lmk
@Tim Le thank you so much, it's been tough losing her but it's getting easier to focus on the memories I have with her rather than the fact that she's gone! I'm not positive what they, some are minerals and some are crystals. I tried downloading an app to identify by picture but it will give a different gem on separate pictures so not sure how accurate it is. Is there a pen or something I could purchase to test them? They do look like almandine and pyrope, maybe a few rubies.
By far top of the list for MOST informative video you’ve made Daniel ( in my opinion of course ) Proper educational resources and a willingness to learn is EVERYTHING!
Daniel just wanted to let you know you have something going on with you microphone. The last few videos we can hear a buzz in the background. Just thought you should know. Much love and respect! Great video my friend!
Perfect video! Sensational job of teaching Daniel. Some of the best information/training I've seen to date by anyone. Vital information for coin collectors particularly new to the hobby such as myself. Thank you for sharing your knowledge to viewers like me who enjoy learning from a reliable expert like you. God bless you.
Thanks again Daniel for your time... He takes his valuable time to do these videos for us; Plus answering questions on the forum. There is a plethora of information on the internet not to mention sites specifically run for errors etc. I at least try and exhaust all my options before I post a question.
Like I have said before. If you stare at your coins too long you start thinking every coin has an error. Especially if you are looking through a loop too long. My favorite are the people that artificially tone a beat up eagle or silver coin and then try and sell it on Ebay for hundreds more than the scrap value. I purchased a 1986 slabbed artificially toned ASE in a NGC holder for $43. Then I broke the ASE out of the slab and used hot water and baking soda to remove the fake toning. What I was left with was a decent 1986 ASE with a scratch on it and now the original finish is off in some places. Not from the baking soda but from the original fake toning process. You have to be really bored to start soldering your coins and then pretending you have mint errors. What a waste of time.
Great show and Grave information because I'm just starting to get into this cuz I have nothing better to do. I see you in town retired, and I found it very informative. Thank you very much.
I just wanted to say when I first ran across ur channel, I thought u were harsh and a know it all, I just started coin collecting and didn't know anything. Now I go ur channel first. The video I stumbled on was harsh because people were getting ripped off and I didn't understand. I like that u care about people and have binged watched every video I missed. Thanks you for ur channel. I always learn something. I lean on ur info for what's true and what's BS out there. Thank u and I'm sorry I was so wrong with my first thoughts on u and ur channel, ur invaluable.
Thanks for another helpful video! My coin collection is about 60% ancient Greek/Roman and 40% modern. I've kept my ancient silver/copper/bronze coins in acid free paper flips for over 25 years, no problems at all with damaging or toning the coins. I like to use flips because I enjoy taking the ancient coins out and holding them, which does not hurt them. Modern coins may react differntly to acid free paper flips, I don't know. Some paper flips have been made with acid during the manufacturing process and this can damaga a coin, just a PVC plastic flips can cause damage with long term storage.
Far as I know here in Juneau, Alaska, we only have two coin sellers..a pawn shop and jewelry store lol, and all the rest of thr collectors are in Anchorage...so you help so much. I love YT lol!
Heating and toning. Amen. Makes perfect sense. Since first hearing and actually looking at a coin under magnification, seeing the detailed craftsmanship present in the image. It's like fine art with a press. Crazy right!
Hey Daniel, Thanks. I have been collecting for years, and have allot of stuff that is just like you showed. I am kind of upset that I really do not have anything of value, but still worth keeping just for the uniqueness of the coins.
This is the only coin channel I subscribe to, & rarely watch any other. Many of them hype up too much stuff, making people believe they have something special, when they don't. I don't get exited when I see something odd. But I will look it up, and then find out it's nothing special.
I have found a thicker penny from 2015 , it has silvery color around the ridge of both sides . It is very noticeable for it's thickness , the silver edge is also notably seen and that's what made me take a second look
Daniel thank you for sharing your knowledge of coins with the world. You are very knowledgeable and always thoroughly explain why things are the way that they are. Keep doing what you are doing because you do it so well 🤙🤙
I definitely trust Daniel's professionalism more than... I've listened to on other sites! Thank you Daniel for sharing your invaluable knowledge with us.
I keep a small scale for coins and a magnet near my desk. I think for a lot of coin videos, certain people just read the title and then think they have something. One thing I dislike is when I go to buy a GEM+ steel cent and I get a replated cent. I have had that happen a few times trying to get a D-P-S for my album. Thanks for another video.
Nice Video. I had a strange-looking Kennedy coin and made the mistake of submitting a question on CONECA but do not have a microscope/camera pic of the coin. I was almost scolded and someone ended up telling me I was experiencing Pareidolia or imaging things, but I decided to take my coin to a Coin Dealer and I was right. I was so pleased to learn that I wasn't seeing things.
CONECA knows more than the dealer and how I know is you’re still calling it strange. If the dealer knew what you had he would have given you some proper terminology. Paradolia isn’t a disease or a sin, we all do it, the difference is when you hang onto what you see as something actually from the mint.
Hey those weird colored quarters were mine once. Lol. I found both of them in the same roll. Put them in the small envelope cause I couldn't find my plastic or cardboard flips. Thanks again Daniel!
This video was so very helpful!! Thank you for sharing and educating us! Now I won’t waste my time wondering and obsessing over these haha. You are by far the best coin expert out here on the web. I just got into coins, not as a collector, but just for fun and hopefully making some extra money. I have already learned so much and it’s both fascinating and intriguing! I’d much rather learn from an expert than read tons of books especially when I don’t plan on becoming an expert or collector. Unless the universe has different plans for me 😂 Thank you again for such detailed explanations and a non BS approach! You’re not here to lie and give false hope to hundreds of thousands and thousands and thousands of people making them believe everyone is gonna find the holy grail. Keep up the great work!!
You are far from ignorant. You KNOW what you're talking about! I appreciate your knowledge and the fact that you share it . Thank You, You are awesome Daniel👍
I literally just posted 65 dime on coin community, I wish I had see this video prior to that . Thank you for time and effort its still gold in 2023 ty again
Those unusal or toned coins you showed there are still pretty cool. I personally save them, I have noticed some interesting toning naturally, anyway value is in the eye of the buyer 👍😃
extremely helpful!! Unfortunately, I made the mistake of getting into the hobby with too much enthusiasm to purchase coins I found fascinating because of history, however my knowledge was in human history not coin history. I lacked the education of the historical foundation of how currency came to be over the years. I sunk thousands of dollars into purchasing items on eBay, luckily not every purchase was a loss. I found one of your videos online and have been hooked since. This video in particular would have saved me a few hundred dollars but I'm not upset that I lost that money because like you I now have many examples (on hand) of what to look for. Your videos and suggestions to other reputable sites have made my past "bad" experiences help others. They too may make a few purchase mistakes but for every mistake is an opportunity to learn a better way for the future. Thank you the help you have given to this novice collector.
Thank you for this video, I am glad I didn’t go to a coin shop looking foolish, I have a lot of coins that are exactly what your talking about in the video.
OMGosh!! If that is all true, you are my savior. I have hoarding and can't rid myself of anything off looking. I now can easily get rid of some baggage. Still keeping all coppers Thanks again KK
Your 'in the ground' coins look rather like those that I'd scoop out of the water fountain / pond at the local ice cream shop when I'd clean out the fountain while working there. I'd clear out the drains every few months, so it didn't take long for them to get that way.
I remember years ago, in Highschool, our Chem teachers would have people change coin colors to silver or gold (fake material based off color) most often pennies.
For me it's the early evening I wanted to thank you for your videos they're very educational and and explain quite a lot. I have a 1953 D wheat back penny that has both the D & S mint marks on it I'm very attached to the penny because I think it's one-of-a-kind Medias but I wanted to ask what should I do to get it graded or should I not should I keep it like it is please give me your advice thank you very much have a nice day
You just answered my question,,,, I have what looks like a copper quarter, But after watching your VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO, I now know that I did find it buried in the ground, So you just told me the Reason it is a copper color now. Oh well,,, I did have a few minutes of thinking It might have been worth something... PLUS, There is no 1787 1999 copper Philadelphia State Quarter. Thank You AGAIN...
Daniel, first of all, thanks for sharing your time and knowledge. Time laps-6:28, if you would enlarge that point and you see an edge that resembles a dime or maybe a British coin. I was mislead by a collector/Dealer/Shop owner recently. Told just pocket change after just seeing and not really inspecting. Was hoping for more but said pretty much have a nice day and used the 4.50 for gas to get back home. I have 5 coins left. Could you and if so how do I send photos and in what type setting or tone is best "ie" normal, soft, sharp? Thanks again for your time. I totally understand your audience is astronomical and I'm surely not alone. Keep it up for our sake.❤
Your right observation and lessons first . thanks for your service I appreciate your help ive😢 been watching a year maybe more it's three coin mentor's excuse me but I'm only calling it as I see it
I used to sell Winged Liberty Dimes on Ebay, and would advertise that they came with a free gift. My price was a Buy it now for $2.99 shipping included. I was sort of like an old Paul Mason commercial, I will sell not a dime before it's time for $2.99. For the free gift I would take a copper penny, put it on the gas stove, and burn the colors into it, and throw it into water! My pennies would look better than anything Daniel has shown you here, beautiful artificial rainbow tones. You too can be a Coin Doctor!
Thank you for the video. Sorry, for being so late to the conversation. I never even thought about plated coins being sold on the secondary market. Just my opinion (which I sincerely admit is not as well educated as yours), but I think that some modern collectors are a little bit different than more established collectors when it comes to toned or "unique" coins. I think some people are buying coins because of they way they look, but not according to a grading scale, according to eye appeal only. Sort of they way people appreciate artwork. This of course is going to mess up traditional pricing guides. Kind of like how a Jackson Pollock is worth tens of millions of dollars when everyone knows a child could paint a piece similar to his. If people are willing to pay it, people are going to charge it. That's just my thought. I welcome yours.
I just picked up a 1999 and a 2000 "24 gold plated" set. I know better to get these types of coins. I couldn't pass up on the price at a antique shop of $5 for the pair. I know they aren't worth anything but I couldn't pass it up. It's silly that these things go even exist. I'm sure another sucker before me ( and me for purchasing them) paid up for these.
Thank-you Daniel....by watching Your utube channel.....talking to over the phone......ifound a dime designed as a penny....but when measured it and weighted it I can clearly see its a fake....8ll he like u and take it out 9f circulation....keep up 5he good work
You big dummy! Lol you are definitely in the top 10% of knowledgeable and honest people in the business. Appreciate you sharing the knowledge and just keepin it real cause some ppl are just out of hand with coins and need to be told there wrong and educate themselves.
I bought an unopened bag of state quarters from a dealer. They were Rhode Island state quarters. Some of them have the golden tone on both sides of the coin. That being said, would you still expect the golden tone to be caused by mistake even if they were sealed by the mint? I can't find any examples of them other than the ones on your video in the envelope or the experimental planchets used by mint with other states.
I opened my 2020 W reverse proof nickel they are in a plastic sealed bag from the mint inside the lil envelope and they are toned now I’ve had them in my sock drawer has this has anyone else experienced this gold tone?
