You'll Never Believe THESE Fake Coins! The Coin Guy Teaches! 

My dad had a restaurant in a small town in Tennessee during the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. We spent every night for years sifting through the coins eg. looking for "deals" eg. silver dollars; wheat pennies, etc. Over the years there were bags and bags. My dad would sort them out and sell them. He bought a couple of cars cash with the proceeds.

The Coin Guy continues to amaze me. I could listen to him all day.

I had a nice visit with Guy today. I'm visiting from San Diego on a family vacation. I never miss him on the videos. He is just as personable in real life. Thanks Coin Guy.

The Coin Guy is My Favorite. He is Honest and I Learn a Lot From watch Your Channel. I live and Georgia, Me and My Daughter are going on vacation and I'm going to stop in His Shop.

About 2 years ago I went to a coin show. A dealer had a $5 bucket. Looking through it I saw a coin I liked a 1934 1/10 Balboa from Panama. A few months ago I was looking at it and looked it up on NGC world price guide it was silver and only 75000 were minted. I sent it to PCGS and it came back a 64. That’s a good score.

Guy was an influencer before internet was a thing 💯❤️

The Coin Guy is indeed a great educator!

I always love Coin Guy videos. I especially liked the viewer questions part this time. Thank you both so much!

This video made me pull out my Silver Eagles & start inspecting them, lol😅

Great video!!! I'm a coin collector first before being a stacker I love coin shop video's!!! Those Mercury dimes are beautiful!!! I love it educator not influencer we need more of that in this world!!!!!

This was great! I had no idea some fakes look that good. Phenomenal video. Thank you for sharing.

I love listening to Coin Guys personal stories and of course the educational details he provides. Especially this one on fake coins. Thank you.

I loved this chat - thank you guys! Very interesting. Guy is our secret weapon!

We need more frequent videos of y'all, this could be a weekly podcast and do great!.

Pawn shops typically give out loans for coins, that are way below the actual value. What the customer overheard may have been a loan amount, rather than a purchase amount. If they pay the interest, they can get their gold coins back.

God bless our Speg and Coin Guy we are so lucky to have them .

Hello from Detroit Michigan brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for what you do

SSS, it would be nice if you'd spend a lot more time analyzing the fake PCGS holder. For example, does it have the numbers on the edge? If so, is the font correct? Please do a more complete video on fake PCGS and NGC slabs where you weigh them across different years, etc. Also, are you sure that the hologram PCGS decal, on the back, is always supposed to be inside the slab. I have some that I got direct from PCGS that appear to be on the outside. I'll check them closer.

The old lady story getting $1200 is why I need to simplify my stack at some point. I enjoy collecting and enjoy owning and remembering where I got things. But I've collected quite a bit of premium over time. I feel like I need to move it myself at some point and just buy gold.

I remember when I bought my first 1 ounce gold coin I paid $450 for it wish I can go back in time

Sir, you would have my vote every year for the near future. Your an educator and a honest businessman. Thank you for the education Coin Guy….

I like listening to The Coin Guy , he have great knowledge on numismatics, watch his videos and you will learn a lot.

if I was in a shop and didn't run that PCGS Morgan I would have been fooled, thank god the internet is in our hands these days.

It sounds like Guy navigated the second round of the virus much better than the first go around. Glad to see that he’s doing well. Maybe you’ll have some of those collaborative silver rounds in the shop next time I stop in.

Yay! the Coin Guy is back. Its been too long!

@ 38:08 -- I have a couple ancient coins w/ counterstamps. They definitely are rare, but they did do counterstamping back then. But of course.., gotta be extra careful, as a chopmark or counterstamp is very easy to add later on.

Everyone should be a lifelong learner...great video

You are changing lives for the better! There is no better feeling than seeing a kid starting down the right path! God bless!

I was at a garage sale and saw a fellow sell 101 pre 1964 half dollars, most of them quite old, for $1.00 each to a friend of mine who beat me to the sale. They had belonged to his grandfather. He figured that he was doubling his money on each coin. If it wasn't my friend buying them I would have offered him much more for them, but I didn't want to piss off my friend.

Oh My Gosh, thank you Spegtacular. This was great info. Thank you Coin Guy.

I belive the motor and emissions system are calibrated differently pending what metal is in the "catholic" converter, maybe as simple as temperature. Thank you for another fascinating, fun and educational video Mr. Speg and Mr. Guy. I believe I've watched every one at least twice but many of them more than that. I missed my opportunity to get in on your signature round it sounds like but I would be my pleasure to purchase a couple if the opportunity arises. Thanks for the laughs and the knowledge Speg, I enjoy all of your content. Cheers

Coin Guy rocks. Hope the round you guys are coming out with does good, but I'm sure it will. Those fakes are pretty scary. I could see myself falling for them but that's why I only shop through reputable companies and dealers

I just subscribed, first time I saw one of your videos, thank you I learned something today.

31:00 that's admirable to hear about people getting a fair deal or even a better then expected offering for their metals. It's good that she will be more aware of the value for the future.

I notice that Facebook is allowing ads for fake coins.

Some people faun over Beyoncé. Some people faun over Lebron James. I just spoke to Guy on the phone and was literally shaking with nerves. I ordered three of y’all’s rounds and Nathan took my order. I can’t wait for them to get here!

You my friend had a counterfeiter in your shop. Whenever I buy I take down that individuals information and if I happen to come across something that is counterfeit on the spot, or later that day, I turn that person in. I was wondering if you turned this individual in to the authorities? Counterfeiters come in all sizes, one individual, a small group, all the way up to countries like china & n. korea. Counterfeiters need stopped! It is bad for our hobby. Would love to hear your response to my comment. Thank you, Gunny

My I kindly suggest multiple metals runs of the logo/owl rounds. Copper rounds will sell most likely also. I enjoy how coin guy talks New York, very upfront.

I enjoyed seeing the gold Kazakhstan Proof in the case. 2012 was the year of the Dragon and the coin shows the Chinese Zodiac in the outer ring and the position of the stars in the night sky in2012.Rare and Beautiful. Thanks Guy and Speg.

I went into 2 coin shops last week and was offered less than $20 for my proof sets 99-09(2 2009) I had 12 silver proof sets and 10 commemorative proof silver dollars and a pds 3 olympic dollar silver dollar collector set and a 2 euro charles darwin silver proof and one shop offered me $400 the other offered me $460 for everything over 26 oz in melt weight alone

I had a friend try to sell me 10 of the 2020 Silver Eagles loose and not in any holders.. The first thing I did was a ping test and it did not "sing" like a real silver dollar. I paid him $250 for the 10 coins but I told him I wanted to check them out better at home. My small scale wouldn't weight them so the only reliable tests I could do was a ping test on each one then also a magnet test. All 10 silver Eagles were magnetic. I asked him for a refund and I returned all 10 coins. Now he knows that they are fakes and he won't try to sell them to anyone else.

With platinum it's the fact that South Africa still has large platinum mines. They are mining them out like crazy. The mines are not going to last that much longer.

Some great coins shown here, I loved the Dimes and Cents. Speg, a large coin is rarely, possibly very rarely found in Gem Grade because they are too big during production and packaging, but you can always find the smaller coins in exceptional condition although still very hard to find nevertheless, therefore the Dimes do not need to be bigger if you collect condition. Great Video and coins.

im seeing several of the 1881 CC fakes. Thanks Speg they weigh 21grams. @7min I wish coin guy would of weighed one genuine and the fake in the holder. I bet there is 6+ gram difference

I was in a local coin store. A couple needed money. The mom passed away. Small store so I over heard he gave them $550. They said another place only offered around $300. I'm only going to that shop. 🇺🇸

Good thing you are experienced... Young person getting started might be fooled. Hate thieves!

Another great video, Guy you the man, Speg you the man, GOD BLESS AMERICA, Keep Stackin bros’

Awesomeness again. Thank you, brother. Need more Coin Guy videos. ❤

On the fake 1881-CC, it should NOT say "MORGAN" on the holder. PCGS will Only put the word "morgan" on the 1921's or 2021s

Influencing their selection with ad $$ = influencer. I think coin Guy might be on to something there. Always love listening to his knowledge. I would like to be a more of a collector but wouldn't know what is what. I'm jealousof spectacular. Wish my town had a coin Guy.

Please make more rounds. They sold out so fast that I missed it.

I'm building a toned Dansco set. I would've called in for yours, Speg.

Spegtacular, CoinGuy, you really cheer me up! I ust got some good news. I'll be moving to Flushing, NY in a few months! Thanks again guys!

9:41 When he said he had covid last week he got quiet for a whole minute 😂

Thanks gentlemen great video, information,entertainment. I always enjoy watching 👍

Imma need one of these new CoinGuy/ Speg silver rounds!

Coin Guy, I wish you were on the west coast. I really appreciate your honesty and just pure love of teaching numismatics to people like me. Any one you can recommend here in the Los Angeles area?

Got to love the coin guy videos ... thanks for you hard work making it... nice channel coin .....

another great video with Mr. Guy !!

I like the coin guy... he's a awesome person...🤘🙏🤙

There's a lot of people taking advantage of this situation, I live in a very small town, and our little store is 3 times the amount of what it should be. 5.75 for a box of way off brand saltines. Go to giant and pay 1.89 for a better brand. IT'S SICKENING.

Very helpful and informative video, thanks. In the video, one of the tools Coin Guy refers to using is “the machine”. Specifically what machine is he referring to?

I’ve been into many coin stores where I knew I wasn’t wanted in there. My wife and I own a commercial cleaning and janitorial company and we still work in the field at some very dirty places and between jobs if there’s a coin store we stop and sometimes I might not look like a model customer wearing the nicest clothes. The funniest thing I’ve ran into was, I should know what I want before I came in there or the I’m not here to teach you about coins. This is the main reason younger people won’t walk into these places and why I don’t like it either. There is a local guy to me and he is really nice and helpful so at least there one near me.

Countermarks are not rare on Roman Imperial coins. Not real common either.

The fields look “rough” on the fake. The genuine ones have a “smooth” field. And the numbers are always “bubbly” looking.

Another Great Video !!! Can't wait for the next one !!

I found a 1807 half dime at a grocery store. I haven’t had a graded, but it looks like at least the 60. It has to be stolen from somebody’s collection.

The 64 Kennedys are the scariest ones cuz you can put those in a roll and the LCS would not notice if you brought in a bunch to sell.

Ordered 2 can't wait to see them. I also wrote Guy in on Most Influential.

On the fake PCGS dollar I noticed the label had “Morgan” under the grade… Pretty sure that is not normal. In fact I have never seen them list the nick name of the coin on the label.

The fake PCGS slab has the "sonic" emblem on the back which is on their current holders, however....the one thing the counterfeiters have not gotten right with their attempts to counterfeit that holder is the RFID chip that are in the legit holders. If you hold the label up to the light you'll see the chip that's between the labels......no chip, no legit. Look for this when purchasing the current PCGS slabs.

Fun show fellas

My first visit, you came up on my RU-vid feed. Glad I found you. I carry a magnet with me, have stepped away from many Chinese counterfeits.

I'm a new coin collector. Thanks for the good info. Like u men! Thanks a lot. I'm hoping to visit ur place!

Regarding the fake PCGS slab, it should also be noted that the fake has 4 small prongs on the edge view holder whereas a legit slab has 3 wider prongs. Also, the NFC icon should be embossed on the plastic itself. I don't believe the counterfeiters have duplicated the NFC chip yet so you could always scan it with the app on a smartphone. Appreciate all the education you provide.

Coin guy is great, love the stories 😀

The "CC" on the real coins seems harder to see also. The fake one the mint mark seems to pop more

I really want a Spegtacular/Coin Guy round. Looking forward to more information about that.

Thank you for sharing…much love to you and “the Coin Guy” from Spartanburg, S.C. 🇺🇸

Man I’m scared I’ve got a few Morgan’s myself I am in Aw at that cc. Hmm hahahah five strikes against you buddy I ain’t buying it man I love coin guy

Thank you gentlemen for the video.

Sweet Shout out T very nice of Keri to send you the gift of affiliate program 👍 You're doing it right my friend.

Great show. Thanks to both of you for posting this. Guy's predictions in this video are pretty accurate. Almost scary lol.

I love watching your show. I think you are honest and to the point, I feel you have been burnt and screwed over or took advantage of because of your humble person. I am new to this game but I am putting in the time to get educated from the ones that find and sell, the ones that buy and sell such as you. The graders and auctions.

Guy said 'Gobrecht Dollar' at 35:40 - I don't know why he pronounced it that way. It's my favorite coin, and the Liberty Seated Collectors Club has a magazine named after Christian Gobrecht and his dollar which was the basis for the Liberty Seated Dollar and other Liberty Seated coinage.

I love this guy! ❤

I live over in Lebanon N.H. I buy metals when spot is down. I always love buying numismatic coins bank notes ect. Especially love the seated design and Era. Flying eagles get the blood pumpin too. Who doesn't love morgans and peace. I gotta check u folks out

I hope the kids get to see this video , Very educational :) QC

catalytic converters used to use much more platinum than palladium. now many use more palladium than in the past but still use more platinum than palladium overall. those two metals help reduce hydrocarbon and CO emissions. rhodium was introduced when NOx standards went into effect. but only a very small amount of rhodium is needed. a typical catalytic converter will have a higher content of platinum over palladium and only a very small amount of rhodium

My friend went to a coin show. Thugs followed him 2 hours to his home town, and broke into the car when he got a bite to eat. Thank God he didn't go straight home.

Very good to know! Thanks!

I found a 1916 std lib qtr last year in a roll from APMEX that I paid $200.00 for. Big full rims and partial date, vg 8 for sure. In my whole time collecting (60 years) it's one of the two luckiest buys I've ever made. The other landfall was a 1924 Huguenot. Paid $1,050 for it raw and had it certified, sold it back to the same dealer (Ed Lee) for $6,000.00!

Just found your channel and i really enjoy the history lesson that gentlmen Guy really knows his history and the episode where he picked up all those roman and byzantine coins had me in absolute awe for someday i will own gold silver bronze of all my favorite Roman emperors especially Nero . Caracalla. Geta . Caligula. Elegabalus

I love coin Guy......

Great video as always 👍👍

They switched to PALLADIUM for catalytic converters....due to geopolitical risk in South Aftrica (they currently are having brownouts...so add inadequate electrical supply to that also)

Great vid. Love the Coin Guy!

How do I get the Giant Gold Coin on the wall Behind Guy. Lol

Ask coin guy if the proof quarter sets are worth keeping instead of buying just a silver round? Will they be worth something more in the long run as numismatic coins? Or just as much as rounds? Don Los Angeles California

Any videos on the SBA coins with SMOOTH RIMS ? - MY dad has 2 of these and collected 1000's of these over his lifetime but he only ever found 2 smooth rims. For the record he only got his SBA coins from the post office. I read an article somewhere a long time ago that the Smooth Rim SBA coins were Experimental coins by the Mint made for the Blind so that they could distinguish the SBA from a Regular quarter. The plan /program was dropped though after blind folks told the US Mint that they could "read" the lettering on the coins to tell them apart with their fingers. So, a bit of a "Thanks for thinking of us blind folks at US Mint, but we got this...lol". Apparently its the old story of an experiment where the coins made were to be destroyed but more than a few escaped into circulation. I've contacted the US Mint and got no information, PCGS and NGC both said this isn't an error coin or variety and won't recognize it as such but neither would they state if they had ever seen or graded one before. Only other theories I've heard are "Intentional after-Mint damage" where the rim was filed down smooth... but for what point??? ... I've also heard that the rim was worn off but slot machine players - however, if so, the coins would bear far more circulation damage and the 2 we have are clean and pristine, just as if they went straight from mint to PO. Which is what the Mint did to get the coins into circulation and more widely accepted - Which of course didn't work out. Additionally, if the slot machine theory were true these smooth rim SBA's would be far far more common to find in circulation. -- ANY AND ALL ADVICE AND INFO IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! ... Keep up the Great Videos -Love every one!
