When I started coin collecting, I had a two-cent piece that was different from the other two cent pieces that the guys in the club had. There were two guys and charge of the group then it were longtime collectors. One of the guys offered me $30 for my $0.02 piece. That time in 1979 $30 was a lot of money to a kid just out of high school with newborn son. Fortunately for me the other guy that was in charge of the club said that if that was a coin he thought it was it was a lot more valuable than $30 and he wouldn't allow him to make that deal with me. Turned out my coin is actually very valuable and rare. Thank goodness someone stood up to someone that was willing to take advantage of the beginner
@@kamoroso94 on the back of it the eagle is holding arrows in its hand. The cheaper one of the tool is holding eight arrows, four in each claw and the one that I have is holding 13 arrows representing the original 13 colonies. They made about 1000 of them 20 years ago. It was worth about $2500. But I’m not sure what it’s worth now I haven’t checked that stuff out. I’ve been really cool they’re actually about the sized of the half dollar.
I used to love how they looked when I was younger and I would collect those that were randomly found around the house and sometimes buy them, but I kept losing them because instead of putting them somewhere safe I loved them so much that I always had them with me so I would often lose them, now I only have 2 left! One of them is the British 10 pence, which I’m proud of because i live in the Middle East and the UK is very far away! The other one I have is my favorite it’s a 2000 irani riyal coin, which is a bit bigger than the British one and way more beautiful and detailed.
I see you, MTG! lol My mother got me into coin collecting when I was young and in my mid-20's my collection was stolen and I gave up. I'm almost 50 now and giving it another go, because I've never really lost my interest. There's a lot of very cool history in coins. Thanks for your videos!
May have been able to claim a homeowners insurance claim and get back maybe a few thousand? I’m just starting to really considering getting into it. Idk how you should start organizing to streamline? By type and years? Look for known errors that way? What about new errors discovered? Do you have to go back and review all your coins? Should you waste time trying to discover new unknown errors? So many opportunities I’d be worried I missed. I’ve been burned before for thousands selling an object so.. 😄
@chaddsteinberg3758 I'd say the higher value errors are fairly well known. You just need a list of dates and types of whatever series you want to collect. And you can catalog them however you like. By dates, years, countries, errors, or all the above..you'll find a system that works for you. And even though I've gone through my collection many times, I found a Franklin Bugs Bunny half in an old mint set. Also a 1962 "hanging 2" Canadian penny. Sometimes you don't see something until your looking for it specifically.
My grandpa was sad when my older brother showed no interest in coins and was thrilled when he learned me and my sister liked collecting so far my oldest coin is a penny from 1961
coin collecting is not about getting rich. it's about the love of collecting. videos like this will help enlighten more people as you all know. i'm more inspired
Ive been collecting for almost twenty years. I always tell newbies that collecting coins is not about getting rich , it's about the love of collecting. I also tell people that you don't have to be rich to collect coins I'm far from Rich and over the last 20 years I've amassed a very impressive collection with some very valuable coins. When I say valuable that can sometimes mean valuable as in money but most the time I mean valuable to me. As an example I love halftimes and they're not worth much money but they're valuable to me and I also love ancient coins from the Roman era and they are extremely cheap but they're so cool so my advice to any new collector would be have fun and whatever you do no matter what never clean your coins.
I just started coin collecting yesterday afternoon and hopefully this will be the video that teaches me what I can’t seem to figure out when I watch all the other videos because the terminology is just so far over my hands right now.
Great video even for the long term collector. Glad you mentioned your other videos and that coin communities like yours exists.. You are a great resource to us all. Thanks for putting the time into making this video.
Loved the video, but as a quick note to beginners: not every coin with a low montage will become a key or semi-key date. It all depends on how many were preserved. For example, many Carson City Morgan dollars aren’t very hard to find, despite the mintages being low. In contrast, some Morgan dollars from other mints are harder to find, despite the fact that more were made.
Thanks for the video! I got out of the hobby about 10 years ago (I can’t collect everything!) and was looking to get back into it. But I feel like I’ve forgotten so much. Great to learn some things!
Thanks for the videos. I've been a hobbyist for years with lots of wholes in my knowledge. I've been making my way through your videos as I work during the day. Learning a ton!
@ Pat: Basically you have to go to dealers or a coin show for the "old coins." However, I was lucky enough to find an 1850s silver 3¢ piece in a trash bin near a Coinstar machine,
I love your clarity when you're explaining things it's real gift. But I would appreciate it if you could talk to us about the types of error coins that are out I think that's would be important information for a. New collector.
My father did the same! He left me 3 months ago and There is SOOOO much and he left no instructions or descriptions!! No clue where to start! I did notice I have many that he spoke about and referenced in this video so that’s good I guess lol
Thanks bro. I inherited a coin collection a year ago and looked at it when I got it but didn’t really know what to do. Now I’m gonna collect but I’m naive. The oldest coin I received I believe was 1885. Tons of early 1900’s dimes/Pennie’s.
I’m hooked. I refuse to spend any change I get before looking at them. This isn’t good because I’m saving too many ! How do you decide what to keep and I mean in hope of resealing for a profit or gain ? I need advice before I’m consumed in coinage !
The entire reason I'm thinking about getting into coin collecting, is because I just found a 1945 Wheat penny just like yours, not as shiny of course. But I found it pretty neat.
Hi Christian, I enjoyed your video, nice over view for the novice. I have collected type coins for many years, off and on, but also major mint errors. You might consider doing a video on the different kinds of error coins. Thanks again, Bill
I hope he has made some since you commented this because I'm mainly only interested in collecting the error coins! I'll have to sub and check his videos for ones about errors.
Thanks I just found a cool looking 1946 no mint mark wheat penny in some spare change Finding a cool coin motivates me to check every nick and dent in all my coins trynna find something cool
Okay. Great video and you seem to know your stuff. I don’t want to get that “involved”. I just want to know if the change I got from the store is potentially worth more then face value. Like a quick guide. And I’m speaking in terms of::: I got .35 cents in change, 3 dimes 1 nickel, are any of the 4 coins worth even 1¢ more then it’s face value! How do I find this out?
as a new collector,i appreaciate a young expert who devotes his time to the public.as a novice in coins and ebay,i bought a few things and love grab bags which u mentioned.the problem is the guys aren't fair.can u supply me with the honest guys?thnx.
@ Josh: A majority of e-Bay sellers are "Wanna bees" looking for a "quick buck." I usually stay out of e-Bay. Some coin shop dealers (and vendors at Coin Shows) have 1 Pound "Grab Bags" for (about) $10 -$12.50.
I'm very new to this hobby and think i have found some possibly valuable coins. Is there somewhere to go to assure i have something valuable before sending it out to get graded? Please help I'm lost and don't know what steps to take next before spending the money to get them graded and them possibly not even be worth the grading fees.
🇨🇦thanks for clear instructions. I found container of Canadian pennies in storage. I appreciate may not have much value, but their not in use anymore. but I imagine in time they will be. can you suggest a strategy or any counsel. thank you. I will stay in touch with you.
Low-key just made the video to flex those coins on us😂 Jkjk I think you did a great job showing the different types, varieties and other aspects. I wish I had this video when I first began!
You're doing a fantastic job! I have a quick question: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (proof inner hobby bounce blouse able donate virtual luggage cart morning ticket). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
No no no do not clean your coins it takes away the value of the coin even if your not going to sell eventually it will mess a coin up if you don't no what your doin
I started with collecting coins of my country, one coin from each year of minting since new currency was released, when I collect all 259 of them I will move on older ones, I don't like to spend more than $5 per coin but I got extremely lucky when I bought a bulk of 200 coins from all over the world for just $20 and found couple old ones of wich oldest is 200BC wich alone is worth way more than I paid for and Its so exiting to search through hundreds of them and find rare ones
I was waiting eagerly for the M in your collection to see what coin from Mexico (my country) you have, I was trying to guess if you have a 5 pesos or 10 pesos or 2 pesos... and I was surprised for this rare 10 pesos coin in your collection, I didn't now it. What year is this coin?
I am just getting into the hobby do you know of any specific coins or notes I should be looking for or any I should be staying away from and places on buying coins or notes
I just got my first old bill, which has pushed me into coins. I just feel like i am not rich enough to collect the good stuff. I am just going to attain the stuff i like.
Thanks, I'm a green horn. Had had a bucket of change. I'm overwhelmed, didn't know we're to begin. Is there any tools or how to store? I don't have money's two spend lol. Right now cheapest route
Well the s mint made 91 million and the d mint made 128 million and the Philadelphia mint made 300 million so it’s not very worth much unless it’s in good condition or if it has a significant error
You can tell if pennies are pre 1982 by doing a drop test, the pre 1982 ones have a higher ringing sound while the post 1982 ones will sound sort of like a low pitched clunk
Thank you for the video I would like to start collecting coins but I am not sure if I should collect all coins or just start with one type example quarters any advice on this thank you very many
I love to see videos explaining the basics of coin collecting. It definitely helps people join this fantastic hobby.
Thanks for watching! I appreciate it!

Got a pocket full Iod change? 😄

All i know is that the older copper pennies sound cooler when you flip them through the air
Try a real silver coin
I know this is a year later...but this cracked me up
Really, I need to try now
Make sure you check every 1983 penny this way!
Actually, they sound better when they land...silver, even moreso.😉

In coins it's condition/grade, year, mint.
I'm always trying to get people into collecting coins and these types of videos help a lot, thanks.
Just started collecting and started following you I am learning alot from your videos thank you so much and I think I have seen you on whatnot
Thanks for the video! I got out of the hobby about 10 years ago (I can’t collect everything!) and was looking to get back into it. But I feel like I’ve forgotten so much. Great to learn some things!
Thank you for sharing. I had a $500 bill one time no idea, and wheat pennies, I lost collectibles… Now I’m learning.
I love error coins! That penny you showed brought back memories.
This was super helpful! Even though I am in Canada, the same things apply. Great job, I am a big fan!
Thanks for the videos. I've been a hobbyist for years with lots of wholes in my knowledge. I've been making my way through your videos as I work during the day. Learning a ton!

Those old coins are SO cool. I have been looking for some of those early 1800's coins but haven't had any luck.
@ Pat: Basically you have to go to dealers or a coin show for the "old coins." However, I was lucky enough to find an 1850s silver 3¢ piece in a trash bin near a Coinstar machine,
Good luck! Can be really tough - if you save about $50 you can probably buy a half cent, large cent, 2 cent, and 3 cent which would be pretty sweet!
eBay you will find some good deals on there just be careful of the seller always check the comments
Rewatching my friend! Excellent video and thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks again!

I’m just starting! Any specific advice??
I just like the way silver coins sound
You didnt really explain how to get started with coin collecting but thanks for the help
I've got a few rare coins that I'm interested in selling, how do u recommend I go??? Please point me in the right direction.
Hello, is there any good methods how to renew coin by myself to increase it's value if it looks like 8:10 ?
You can’t
Awesome video!
Hello I am getting into coin collecting on what’s not for the first time and do you now anything about a penny from 1941
Well the s mint made 91 million and the d mint made 128 million and the Philadelphia mint made 300 million so it’s not very worth much unless it’s in good condition or if it has a significant error
Are there any coin microscopes that show the entire coin?
Man I have some old Turkish coins and I truly need your help to know its value and its history
What does the info mean in top of the clear little cases.
You can tell if pennies are pre 1982 by doing a drop test, the pre 1982 ones have a higher ringing sound while the post 1982 ones will sound sort of like a low pitched clunk
Thank you for the video I would like to start collecting coins but I am not sure if I should collect all coins or just start with one type example quarters any advice on this thank you very many
Start with whatever catches your eye and makes you happy my friend
Also be prepared to get addicted lol it's like a drug!
Hi everyone I have a question I have a nickel from 1943 and a penny from 1951 are they worth anything
Thanks for beginner overview. :)
