    Awesome interview! As an aside, *re: Coin Guy's gold $ ring*. Back in the 90's I had a retail job and wore a necklace like that, bought in LV after hitting a jackpot. Long story short, one day a customer kept staring at me in an odd way. I finally asked her what was wrong. Her answer floored me! She was a school teacher and said that was what drug dealers wore. Duh...it's been sitting in a drawer since then. LOL

  • @neptunesmarsh

    I appreciate that Guy sees the value in the statehood proof silver quarters... those sets (other 1999) never held numismatic value, but have the same weight and purity as the pre-65 stuff. Over the past couple years I've been able to assemble multiple rolls of those proof silver statehood quarters, and much more affordably than unc. pre-65 silver even.

    Lol at the "you had shoes?" Such a retail interaction. You know you work with the public when you get that kind of response. Anything you say in public is subject to competition 😅. "Oh you had it hard? I had it harder." "Oh you had it good? I had it gooder." 😂 its almost like most people are contrarians by nature.

    I know of another similar type Salesman who opened a local Brick-n-Motor 'Coin & Currency' store in an area with no competition. He stayed open two years, cleaned out the 'Hoards' in the surrounding area, and then left Town.. of course he did not have an endless supply of anxious 'Sellers' derived from the support this type of media coverage provides.

    I literally start having freaking eye twitches and like I'm having a freaking aneurysm when I hear them talk about $20 these gold coins $400 an ounce!! ESPECIALLY when I just went and spent $30 Oz on some freaking silver yesterday!! Don't tell me inflation because I know my dad worked a lot back then and he didn't want to $20 or $100 $50 bills laying around well still works his ass off and yeah definitely not as many twenties fifties and hundreds anymore! So the money might be worth less but I'm telling you it seems like it's a lot harder to get on top of that! Swear I was born like 20 years too freaking late! I mean don't get me wrong I like all of the electronics and everything but at the same time I think it might have been nicer to not have him for longer in my life and man just the money that was able to be made back then with relative ease! I know that even just in the 2000's when I was only in my teens I was able to make almost as much money as I do now except I was in my freaking mid-to-late teens! I sure as hell was not working like I am now at least I wasn't working as hard! Maybe hard isn't the word for it but it sure wasn't as strenuous! What are the messed up part about it is that I knew about gold and silver and I just didn't understand!! I was talking to my uncle the other day and he had like the number one antique shop in all of South Jersey for a bunch of years running and I'm talking to him about silver and he knows about it cuz he watches prep videos and stuff like that but when I showed him what I was all happy about and everything he's like those? I can't believe everybody's freaking out about those! You know how many of those freaking silver dollars we had laying around! They were everywhere! Had them in piles and buckets just laying everywhere! Holy crap how much are they now?😮‍💨😳🤦🏼‍♂️🙇🏼‍♂️ my only response was yeah that's the way I feel too! Just thinking about if my dad who's in his mid-70s would have put a dime a week away when he was a kid and then even just like 3 or $5 a week when he was in his twenties up until I don't know even what a decade or two ago!! But if my uncle would have instead of spent those silver dollars just stuck them into those water jugs and had left two or three of them up in the attic and forgotten about them!! It's mind-boggling! Imagine if my grandfather instead of leaving all of his money in the bank says dollars would have instead make sure those dollars were transferred into dollar coins in a box! The same amount of money except just in a coin form and we wouldn't be worried about losing our families property in New York state now that's been there since my great-grandfather built it with his bare hands! They wouldn't even have had to have saved anymore money! All I had to do was trade those dollar bills made it so that it was all in the form of coins exclamation point exclamation point but they would have been like oh what about all the interest I'm missing from having it in my bank account! Holy crap if I could just go back and be like yeah know that interest that you're getting from the bank yeah throw that out the freaking window please and just go get gold and silver coins and stick them into thank boxes and he'll go bury some of them up in the mountain or in the walls! Just put a lawyer in charge of with your money form of gold and silver rather than USD but it wasn't even that hard because it was USD it was just coins for freak sake! OK I gotta stop... this stuff drives me nuts! People talk about well you're going to be wishing for the days when it was $30 an ounce for silver and 2,000 and ounce for gold and yeah I guess but thinking about it as in how much money my grandfather even made at his job at Philadelphia Gas Works and comparing it to the wages we make today! Man he made a ton of money and he made even more money as he was retired then he did when he worked! Between his retirement and all of the medical bills that were paid for!! No doubt about it he made Pride double or triple the amount of money in his retirement then he made while he was working if you know what I mean. I don't know there's no way anybody can tell me that it wasn't easier to make money and things weren't better back then and yeah I know about the recession but I don't know if it was quite as bad as what's happening today because I don't know if the US just going to bounce back today! It was still a young Nation back then and people were having kids and starting businesses and now it seems like the opposite they don't want kids they don't want to work they don't want businesses and instead of incentivizing it the government is demonizing it doing everything to make it so people can't get ahead! J incentivizes people sitting around doing nothing! They incentivize the male role models to be kicked out of the household and pay the single mothers more money to sit around and do nothing making sure the kids don't see anybody making a living and have no positive role models and I've got someone to help me instead it's more of hey is there another stimulus coming? I'm running out from the last ones while at the same time saying the United States is evil and horrible and racist and we need to get rid of it! Can I have a couple more dollars! The Constitution what a horrible useless piece of parchment! Hey you're suppressing me and you need to give me some more money! So yeah the difference between that and this I don't know man they had some sort of work ethic and just morals and ethics and general back then seems to be very scarce today
