Another excellent video guys. I love how you dive into coin dealing/grading theory. I find myself just as fascinated with that as I do the coins themselves. I know the purist collectors don’t like it but it adds a lot to the hobby for me
I don't know if I e ver left comment s before. But that being said I almost cried watching your video seeing how far you've grown in this hobby, and knowledge, and the video qualities. Congrats on the weight loss as well. Great video. Thanks
Thanks once again you guys. I am such a small fish when it comes to collecting, and many of the coins you are talking about aquiring ,and deals you are putting together are, for the most part just interesting stories to me, and completely out of my wheelhouse as I am not a dealer, and my little collection is probably only much of anything at all to me. I currently do mainly use NGC's online retail price guide to try to determine what I will pay for new aquisitions, working to pay at least a few dollars to several dollars under on anything I buy. (Mainly earlier foreign silver including, minors, 1/2 crowns, crowns, reales etc.) I do purchase U.S. coins as well, again primarily silver , in both smaller and larger denoms. When you think of older european and other nations rich coinage histories, and how much farther back they go, and think about how much more we value our own coinage (sort of obcessively it seems at times) vs much older beautiful coins from other countries it often leaves me feeling like I can get a lot more 'bang for my buck' buying some other nations near ancient silver in amazingly detailed condition for it's age and history (and sometimes even rarity!) for a 1/2 to a 1/3 of the price of some early 1900's Barber 1/2 in VF or something. I do very much enjoy your content due primarily to your excellent work on presenting, I always welcome the opportunity to see the great coins you and your brother find and excellent interactions with dealers, shop owners, collectors , and above al valuel what I perceive as a straightness and integrity in your dealings. Wishing you continued success P.S. That 1834 $5 gold in XF wow! How nice, beautiful piece of history.
Excellent advice drew i watch you coin geek and coin guy love how you guys do business ive learnt loads over the last few years . My recent graded coins from ngc have just been accepted into royal wooten basset for specialist sale in September. I have some early milled british coins of william the 3rd one has only 3 known in the cencsus and other has a rarity r4 bull 1237 few other bits George iii crown n Victorian bits. I slabbed them shopped around for estimated auction results and now got them all in auction with a reserves set and profit on all 5 coins on reserve 😊. i cant wait for the day . Its my first official auction 🤞🤞🤞. Watching from over the pond as always myfriend ❤
Unfortunately i do believe what you say! I can sell my coins for 84 dollars on Ebay! After 12 percent fee and shipping i get 68, you pay 70 fair price!
another way to put it to a customer is like this. your wheat cent is worth 300% of it's face value and that's really not bad. any time i'm selling pocket change for 3x face value i'm doing good that day.
Found your info to be accurate as a long term collector stuck close to bullion myself as silver was 4-5x sold some at 24x gold was 350$ took 10 yrs to break 400$ now 2500 . $ utility stocks done better w div re. In ira . 2500$ to 54k
I recommend for those with medium to large size collection to maintain a spreadsheet of your coin acquisitions. I recommend Excel, and dividing the workbook into sheets with coin series. For example you may have a sheet of Golden Dollars. You would have the year, uncirculated or circulated, proof or business strike. what you paid and, i f possible original government price at issue. Then Mintage, metal composition and location and how it is stores (if one location you can indicate it on the first sheet). One thing to keep in mind regarding a collection is that some of the modern coins with modest mintages likely will become scarcities and scarcities, rarities in 1 - 2 generations. Even common coins may start to attain a premium after 2 generations but require being held longer for a substantial one, depending on condition. A good example are the Jefferson nickels between 1938 - 1941. Those in EF or high now go for several dollars and high grade uncs higher. In the past there were only 2 -3 coins from these years that had already a nice premium (1939S and one or two other 1939's with errors)
I have a coin collection and I live with a friend he's 79 veteran and he has a collection. We cannot travel who is someone honest to come and look at our collection .we r interested in selling but we want honesty .we live in Paris Tenn
Good discussion. I don’t know of any other channel who does this type of education for beginners.
I don't know why these guys don't have 50k subs. Always spot on info presented in a way we can all understand.
There are so many options nowadays- old coin dealers should be your last resort, if at all....
Just picked up some coins from you on eBay great content and nice coins👍👍
Pcgs coin facts price is usually 1.5-2x more than auction price. Auction comps are a good resource tho.
True
You can bet I pay attention to your videos. Thank you for helping me understand the workings of different coins.
