#NEW SUBSCRIBER FROM CANADA seems like a good channel!! LIKED, Hit the BELL and SHARED this one!!! Be well!!! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Are Canadians welcome here????
Great point about the false-scam AI etc false info vids. Is strange how the ‘creator’ puts a tank you and a thumbs up on the comments that call out their BS. Thanks CoinHELPu for the facts and honesty. I took a 40-50 yr. layoff from the hobby. Am back into it as a passion. You have helped me greatly. I usually watch on my Smart TV. I come to my IPad to like or comment. Thanks again.
The best weapon against the fraudsters is EDUCATION. The more accurate information that people know and have access to, the less the rip off artists can take advantage of collectors and damage the hobby. Your contribution to education in the coin collecting community is something you should be proud of, Daniel. I’m impressed by all you have accomplished and continue to accomplish.
"Buy a Book" was the best advice I ever got in the hobby. There are many of us here that can direct newbies to the Red book or whatever book covers the coins you're interested in. Even a used book a few years out of date for a few dollars is valuable for gold silver and copper coin collecting. My first book was 5 yrs old and had everything I needed to know about the older coins. I appreciate the educational effort Daniel puts into his community. 👍
90% of my time is coin collecting, researching, looking around, learning all I can at my LCS and online through guys like this guy. I love Daniels videos.
I think all this gentleman should have to say is that he has integrity and is a man with character. Two rare qualities especially in today's world. Keep up the good work sir.
Only two videos I watch every day. Daniel’s and The Coin Geek. Sage advice for two experts. I only started collecting last year and everything I have learned is from these two gentleman. My heirs will not find overpriced premium boxes of coins from ads in Parade magazine when I go …. Thanks again and keep up the fight!
I finished watching the whole video. Thank goodness there’s someone who understands the aspects of someone new being taken advantage of and cares enough to speak out on it ! You covered everything I’ve ran across and I literally gave up collecting because not many people speak out about this issue. Again, I thank you for your voice in calling out what is wrong. So many people are literally trying to get every dollar from you by any means necessary. It’s sad but true. I haven’t bought a coin in months because of exactly what Daniel is telling everyone. Now, I can count on one hand who I will buy from now and don’t need all my fingers. I plan on many purchases coming from here.
I've learned so much from this channel, facts about coins. How to investigate and spot certain details and differences. I'm very grateful for the time you take to make these videos and speak truthfully about coin collecting.
Also when you buy on eBay, if they don't have more than 100 transactions, haven't been on there for a few years and don't have a 100% or damn close feedback, don't buy from them period! And sometimes if they check all those boxes and have thousands of sells, you need to check their feedback, they may have 10 negatives a month but enough sells to keep a 98% or something like that, but I wouldn't want to be one of those 10 a month, just not worth it. I'm just telling you my rules for buying and selling and it's worked for 24 years. Good luck and hopefully you stay in the hobby.
It's up to the buyer to do the research and become knowledgeable yourself. Some people still believe if it's too good to be true, lol? It must be true. That's called learning the hard way.
Two specific comments on this excellent video: 1) Concur that the Mega Redbook would make a superb text for a course on US coins. Its content is valuable and pertinent. 2). I do a lot of appraisals and virtually every one contains coins that are counterfeits, altered or way overpriced. It takes a good deal of tact and perspective to explain to the client how common this is. You do our hobby a great service, Daniel! I’ll see you soon.
"What's it worth" Back in the mid-60's a friend showed me his Penny book and the first question I had for him was "What's it worth". Moving on up to 1980 and me with a metal detector, I started collecting. Got the Whitman coin books and started filling them in as I found them. I upgraded coins as I found better ones. My motives changed, I really got a charge out of the beauty of a silver coin coming out of the ground. Coins are some great art work, hands on to history. "What's it worth" in collecting mint rounds, bars, To me is a different hobby? Investment? Silver stacking, paying MORE for a mint state, Millions of them, One just like the next one. "What's it worth" That's not Numismatics. finding a rare coin is great, But my first love now is the beauty of the coin is first.
Pretty cool of you to keep everyone informed! I used to help my Grandpa with his coins when I was young and tried to get back into it and was ripped off very bad...actually so bad that I just gave everything away and gave it up
The information that you provide is a valuable service to all collectors. I look forward to each episode, I learn something new each time, thank you. Each time a product is offered, there are creeps who ooze out from under a rock to separate neophytes from their money.
I’ve seen tons of idiots on line but you are always spot on when it comes to coins, I’ve been a hobbyist collector for 60 years and I wish I had 1/10th of your knowledge of coins ! ☮️🙏
I have 45 years of coin collecting experience, and I appreciate seeing an honest coin dealer like Daniel. I’ve lost my share of money learning my lessons from dishonest dealers.
After looking at the listings on ebay, everyone list error coins and never describe the error, Because there isn't one! That alone put me off on being a collector. Pick a year, any year any coin and there will be a ton of error coins for that year and its just not true. To many thieves to deal with. So I choose not to get involved with that
I agree. "The Coin Geek" is an excellent, honest, ethical, and informative channel. For those interested in stacking, "Silver Dragons" would be an excellent choice (coin collectors will be very interested in his videos with Harry's Coin Shop in Beaverton, OR.) There are many honest and ethical people in our hobby. Please support them.
Thank you, Dan, for educating and growing the hobby in an ethical way. I wish you much continued success!! I absolutely love your videos and I learn all kinds of cool diagnostic tools from watching your videos. I always look forward to watching your videos.
Good on you! I made a video about scammers in the community and never got so much downvoting and hatemail. These scammers will stop at nothing to maintain their ripoffs
There are so many fakes out there that I won't buy from person to person. I'll only buy from coin shops/websites or coin shows. I steer clear of eBay because honestly in not good enough to detect these fakes. Now we have fake slabs to deal with too. It really sucks. Honestly almost makes me want to quit coin collecting.
Thank u for everything u do for this hobby that I've loved and cherished thru out the yrs! As it's getting more difficult to keep any hobby from counterfeiting! Happy new yrs Daniel, looking forward to more of ur educational videos, please don't stop!
Thank you, Daniel. There are so many scammers out there. I did receive some items from my parents, and what they paid for them is outrageous. They put out adds drawing in people and ripping them off. Keep up the good work on exposing the scams.
I've been learning about the art world and it is filled with forgeries. So glad we have TPGS companies to offer a degree of protection. Still, Daniel is right, there is no substitute for knowledge.
I don't have a problem with grading services. I believe it has been a great help for collectors. I do have a problem with grading new mint releases such as Eagles. They are bullion coins, not in circulation, and the early release, first-day issue that is sold is BS. I have more about this, but will end it here. Thank you Daniel for what you do.
I agree with you totally but you should go look at the price for those silver bullion eagles from 1986-2000 in ms 70 They are 850- 6,000 wholesale. Just cause it was bullion and cheap had nothing to do with how scarce/rare they are in Ms 70.
You can say what you want about the US Mint, but for the most part they do a good job. Some coins struck may have a small scratch, blemish or what have you, but the first coin struck should be in the same condition as the last for the majority and are I belive. My local coin dealer told me of a large dealer sending in a couple thousand Eagles to be graded and they dictated that 1250 had to be MS70 and the rest in MS69. I don't buy them. It is a marketing scam that has sucked in thousand of buyers. @@RobertLee-wi5kc
I agree with you Daniel, all of these scammer and people selling their over price coins should be banned from selling anything on any channels. When ever I see one of these people selling their over price stuff I put the alert out to all of the coin collectors I know and asked them to also to complain to the channels that they are on and what they are doing if everyone in the hobby would do this it's will help to stop some but unfortunately not all. Thanks for this information video Daniel. If everyone in the coin community would do the same I believe we would have a good impact on getting rid of these people trying to harm our hobby. Thanks again Daniel and have a great day.
Amen!!! I have collected since childhood in the mid-late 1960’s. I promote the hobby whenever I can! I am also worried about the lack of young people with interest in the hobby. I like to give coins to them and tell about their history
Your presentations are excellent, I've learned from them. Your insight, knowledge and expertise is appreciated. Started stacking generic silver which made me appreciate bullion coins, now I'm all up on vintage US coins. There really is something for everyone. Stack on. OR collect on.
Artificial Toned coins mainly Morgan Dollars (uncertified) but not stated A.T. in the listings with no return policy is robbing the novice collector and ruining the hobby for many . Only buy certified from a major grading company . Even white coins I only buy certified now to avoid cleaned , scratched and altered coins . Daniel is one of the honest sellers out there....
Good video. I totally agree with the damage being done by scammers and outright thieves. We all need to educate, especially seniors and gullible people that just don’t know any better. I have started to comment on adds that hype up coins and/or values and the listers don’t like it. No surprise! I’m going to keep doing it because I don’t care if they hate me. We need to try and shut these people down!
People can't help but see how much you truly love the hobby. Thanks for being such a positive influence. Also, I agree.... Ben @ The Coin Geek is a must watch too.
as a newbie and a nemismatic nummy,i've been a student of this guy from the start.i've gotten more from his videos than i know how to say.they've kept me going when i was surounded by discouragement and negitive vibes.what ever hes up to,i'm in!
Completely support and will join in on this war on dressers and those that are harming our community and scamming people that don’t deserve to be scammed!! Happy Holidays to you and your family and all in the CoinHelpU community!!
Just keep “doing you” my man as I know there are 1000’s of eyes on your videos that appreciate your expertise and videos daily! Cheers from Florida and Happy New Years too!
The Coin Geek, you and a few others helped teach me about coins that were cleaned, even if it is not harshly cleaned. I thank you. I also don't understand why the Coin Geek doesn't have a lot more subs.
Because numismatists are really a niche category. Lots of people collect gold and silver, because you don't have to know much, but true collectible coins merit lots of research and time invested.
@@jeffw1267 You learn new stuff all the time. I don't pretend to be an expert on their level. (Coin Geek, and Daniel.) I know some stuff, but learning all the time.
Ive been following you and Blueridge for years one thing i know is no matter how much someone loves the hobby educating yourself is essential. I watched you both and I've learned a great deal. I wanted to open up my shop but waited almost a decade to do so. Trust in customers is most important. The last thing id want to do is post a coin assuming its a variety or error not knowing for sure. When people see that it looks deceptive regardless if its intentional or not. This hobby isnt something thats learned in a decade its a life time education. Those out there wanting to get into the hobby be sure to do your research and know the correct sources to research from. If its just money one wants getting into the hobby to be honest, its probably not the hobby for you. Not saying it can't be profitable however to put the time in to educate yourself and admire and inform as well as taking critical feedback is just some aspects of whats to come. Educate yourself, be patient and soak up as much knowledge as you can things will start to come together. As for you Daniel, you are one of the few educators out there thats done things the right way. Love your vidoes and honesty keep up the great work!
Daniel you have a passion that is beyond rare you are absolutly right and i a applaud you i am that way with native plants and i collect coins also so i can relate and keep up the great work.
We All appreciate the work you do and time invested for your knowledge and expertise in the hobby! If more were as honest and thoughtful we would be great. Have a great day Sir Daniel! We love you too!
An advocate for the population of coin collectors every where! Thanks and keep on doing what is best for the folks who collect coins as a lucrative hobby that can potentially make thousands of profits for the collectors every where!
Daniel have a great new year your videos are much appreciated and are a great help to many people. Thanks For your time and effort that you put into the coin hobby and your videos.
The biggest pet peve I have about (some) coin RUclips channels (the content farms) is that they often make it seem like these errors and varieties are easy to find and everywhere. It's not even close to everyone just a few channels but they completely overlook the fact that a lot of these varieties are ridiculously and impossibly hard to find in pocket change. A lot of us new collectors don't realize it at first. They think it's a nice good way to make money. That's how me and my friend started out. After a few months I came to the realization that it's not a get-rich-quick-scheme and I'm okay with that because it's fun at the end of the day. But some videos are a little misleading. At least that's my opinion.
PS. I have been watching a lot of your videos for about a year now and totally never knew you were a prison guard. That must have been a humbling experience. Much love man ❤️
Wow I just got goosebumps watching this video!! Thank you so much for being real about this hobby/lifestyle!! I am new to error coin collecting and your the only one to watch on you tube! I wish you did have classes
I would probably be at your store every other day… I quit going to my lcs when I took a couple error coins to get an opinion on and he told me they were worthless and it was pmd when I already knew what I had. I watched him pay a guy 25% value on 5 gold coins because the guy was desperate for money at the time. It’s not just online that people suck, but I agree with what you’re saying.
Daniel, I have been with you from the beginning I think. I have helped a lot of folks and gotten a lot more help from the community and you. I have watched a lot of your videos, but I think this is one of the best if not the best video, 'I believe, you have put out. Congrats on 1400 plus videos, help videos about numismatics. BTW, those coins were to drool over. lol Keep making these informational videos that come from the heart and soul. All I can say it great video.
I 100% agree with you on this Daniel. Coin collecting is under attack with all these companies selling fake coins and others scamming on the weak minded people who are not educated on what’s authentic or fake. I always recommend researching your item before buying. I help out in any way I can to get them the right information. I’ll be joining this war against these companies pushing fake coins. Thanks for posting this.
Right on Brother D. I mayyyy possibly be your biggest advocate of these types vids you do. Thank you, thank you, and sincerely... Thank you. For those of us who have spent a vast part of our lives immersed in numismatics, INTEGRITY is most important to us. Other than CoinHelpu, I know no other university that anyone graduates from that earned a bachelor's in numismatics. There are no degrees, certificates one receives. No manuscripts of provenance, if you will for ones knowledge. Only integrity of the good name exists within this field and those whom have spent yrs, decades building a solid reputable name, have a deep loathing for the sniveling, that are undermining those whom are putting out real, authentic, accurate information. Peace🙏🕉️
Daniel I have been collecting since I was a kid. I have learned more from you over the past 4 years than my previous 56 years. I appreciate your integrity and knowledge my friend
It's so nice to have you helping unsuspecting coin collectors. So many people even dealers sell these people garbage for high prices. I can honestly say that this makes me very sad and angry. We must inform every collector to buy books on coins to see the price they are really worth. Thank you zDan. Your still as handsome as ever ❤
Daniel, your not the type to let anyone get under your skin, your so helpfull, with all your information. We thank you. A sincere thankfull, happy coin collector. Have a great day 😊
YES !!! Thank you Daniel. I am so happy you are going after these people. I have been cheated so much, by whom you ask ? By my LCS. By online people. By people that are in small antique shops . It is terrible. I look at your site once per month but I can hardly find what I am looking for. I do purchase from you when I see something I want, and I also by from the US. MInt, and from JM Bullion. But that is it. I tried to buy from the Perth mint and the Austrian mint but I cannot get them to tell me the price in dollars. So , oh well. But thank you again for helping us.
There is Absolutely Nothing Wrong with You making Money , you are Human😊 You Teach People about Coins & it's TRUE. Thank you for Sharing Your Knowledge ❤
This is the third video I ever saw of yours and I'm glad I saw it. I got to know you're point of view of things. I love coin collecting too I've been collecting since I was seven and I'm 42. ❤️
Every coin is a page from history. And it has traveled to you in bags and boxes and people's pockets. And most importantly in the Hands of untold millions of human beings. I am thrilled to hold and Adore them and think about the folks who held them. And fakes are lies about history, it's why it's a federal offense to counterfeit! Well, I think! LoL❤
Being educated and familiarizing yourself with coins of interest will prevent you from falling for scams and overpricing, which includes only buying from sellers you can trust.

as a newbie and a nemismatic nummy,i've been a student of this guy from the start.i've gotten more from his videos than i know how to say.they've kept me going when i was surounded by discouragement and negitive vibes.what ever hes up to,i'm in!
Completely support and will join in on this war on dressers and those that are harming our community and scamming people that don’t deserve to be scammed!! Happy Holidays to you and your family and all in the CoinHelpU community!!
The information you give us about our hobby is invaluable... Thank you for all you do...👍👍
I really appreciate what you do. Thanks hopefully one day we will get to were people will start doing the right thing.
Thanks for your hard work Mr. D.
Great channel, I've learned a ton here. Thank you for all you do!
Just keep “doing you” my man as I know there are 1000’s of eyes on your videos that appreciate your expertise and videos daily! Cheers from Florida and Happy New Years too!
Keep up the good fight Daniel. Me and many others support you.
Daniel, you are spot on, thank you for all that you do
The Coin Geek, you and a few others helped teach me about coins that were cleaned, even if it is not harshly cleaned. I thank you. I also don't understand why the Coin Geek doesn't have a lot more subs.
Because numismatists are really a niche category. Lots of people collect gold and silver, because you don't have to know much, but true collectible coins merit lots of research and time invested.
@@jeffw1267 You learn new stuff all the time. I don't pretend to be an expert on their level. (Coin Geek, and Daniel.) I know some stuff, but learning all the time.
Ive been following you and Blueridge for years one thing i know is no matter how much someone loves the hobby educating yourself is essential. I watched you both and I've learned a great deal. I wanted to open up my shop but waited almost a decade to do so. Trust in customers is most important. The last thing id want to do is post a coin assuming its a variety or error not knowing for sure. When people see that it looks deceptive regardless if its intentional or not. This hobby isnt something thats learned in a decade its a life time education. Those out there wanting to get into the hobby be sure to do your research and know the correct sources to research from. If its just money one wants getting into the hobby to be honest, its probably not the hobby for you. Not saying it can't be profitable however to put the time in to educate yourself and admire and inform as well as taking critical feedback is just some aspects of whats to come. Educate yourself, be patient and soak up as much knowledge as you can things will start to come together. As for you Daniel, you are one of the few educators out there thats done things the right way. Love your vidoes and honesty keep up the great work!
Daniel you have a passion that is beyond rare you are absolutly right and i a applaud you i am that way with native plants and i collect coins also so i can relate and keep up the great work.
Keep fighting the good fight. I appreciate you. Been collecting since I was 12. Almost 66. Education is the solution. Thank you.
We All appreciate the work you do and time invested for your knowledge and expertise in the hobby! If more were as honest and thoughtful we would be great. Have a great day Sir Daniel! We love you too!
Appreciate all you do, thank you for all the information/education that you share with us.
Keep doing what you are doing . You help me understand the hobby of coin collecting or Numismatists.keep fighting the good fight .
Thanks Mike
An advocate for the population of coin collectors every where! Thanks and keep on doing what is best for the folks
who collect coins as a lucrative hobby that can potentially make thousands of profits for the collectors every where!
Your a good guy with incredible integrity thanks for your videos.
Daniel have a great new year your videos are much appreciated and are a great help to many people. Thanks For your time and effort that you put into the coin hobby and your videos.
Daniel you've done so much for this hobby. Lots of good information from you, reaching a lot of us newer collectors. Thank you for your service 🙏
The biggest pet peve I have about (some) coin RUclips channels (the content farms) is that they often make it seem like these errors and varieties are easy to find and everywhere. It's not even close to everyone just a few channels but they completely overlook the fact that a lot of these varieties are ridiculously and impossibly hard to find in pocket change. A lot of us new collectors don't realize it at first. They think it's a nice good way to make money. That's how me and my friend started out. After a few months I came to the realization that it's not a get-rich-quick-scheme and I'm okay with that because it's fun at the end of the day. But some videos are a little misleading. At least that's my opinion.
PS. I have been watching a lot of your videos for about a year now and totally never knew you were a prison guard. That must have been a humbling experience. Much love man ❤️
Wow I just got goosebumps watching this video!! Thank you so much for being real about this hobby/lifestyle!! I am new to error coin collecting and your the only one to watch on you tube! I wish you did have classes
You're the man , man!!!❤ 😎
Thank you for being so insightful and honest about what's going on
I would probably be at your store every other day… I quit going to my lcs when I took a couple error coins to get an opinion on and he told me they were worthless and it was pmd when I already knew what I had. I watched him pay a guy 25% value on 5 gold coins because the guy was desperate for money at the time. It’s not just online that people suck, but I agree with what you’re saying.
Daniel, I have been with you from the beginning I think. I have helped a lot of folks and gotten a lot more help from the community and you. I have watched a lot of your videos, but I think this is one of the best if not the best video, 'I believe, you have put out. Congrats on 1400 plus videos, help videos about numismatics. BTW, those coins were to drool over. lol Keep making these informational videos that come from the heart and soul. All I can say it great video.
Thank you!
Awesome video. Thank you so much for what you do. You have taught me a lot about coins.
I 100% agree with you on this Daniel. Coin collecting is under attack with all these companies selling fake coins and others scamming on the weak minded people who are not educated on what’s authentic or fake. I always recommend researching your item before buying. I help out in any way I can to get them the right information. I’ll be joining this war against these companies pushing fake coins. Thanks for posting this.
A very thoughtful and insightful message. Five stars!
Right on Brother D. I mayyyy possibly be your biggest advocate of these types vids you do. Thank you, thank you, and sincerely... Thank you. For those of us who have spent a vast part of our lives immersed in numismatics, INTEGRITY is most important to us. Other than CoinHelpu, I know no other university that anyone graduates from that earned a bachelor's in numismatics. There are no degrees, certificates one receives. No manuscripts of provenance, if you will for ones knowledge. Only integrity of the good name exists within this field and those whom have spent yrs, decades building a solid reputable name, have a deep loathing for the sniveling, that are undermining those whom are putting out real, authentic, accurate information. Peace🙏🕉️
I find your channel to be very informative and helpful and I appreciate your efforts a great deal… keep up the good work my friend 😁🍻
Daniel I have been collecting since I was a kid. I have learned more from you over the past 4 years than my previous 56 years. I appreciate your integrity and knowledge my friend
Thank you!
It's so nice to have you helping unsuspecting coin collectors. So many people even dealers sell these people garbage for high prices. I can honestly say that this makes me very sad and angry. We must inform every collector to buy books on coins to see the price they are really worth. Thank you zDan. Your still as handsome as ever ❤
Thanks for all you have done for everyone...thank you...your doing a great job
THANK YOU. SO MUCH, LET EM HAVE IT. BLESS YOU. YOU'VE HELPED ME, YOUR SO RIGHT.
Daniel, your not the type to let anyone get under your skin, your so helpfull, with all your information. We thank you. A sincere thankfull, happy coin collector. Have a great day 😊
Just started to get deeper into coin gathering appreciate your videos.
I never quit learning! Thanks Daniel! Another good video.
Thank you for your truth and honesty. Best wishes for a prosperous New Year!
YES !!! Thank you Daniel. I am so happy you are going after these people. I have been cheated so much, by whom you ask ? By my LCS. By online people. By people that are in small antique shops . It is terrible. I look at your site once per month but I can hardly find what I am looking for. I do purchase from you when I see something I want, and I also by from the US. MInt, and from JM Bullion. But that is it. I tried to buy from the Perth mint and the Austrian mint but I cannot get them to tell me the price in dollars. So , oh well. But thank you again for helping us.
You have helped our hobby tons Daniel ! Hope you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Daniel - we truly appreciate your advice and hekp!!
Thank you for your efforts. Most of us appreciate your videos and the information they provide.
💯 Agree that with the amount of fakes,fomo and shady practices by LCS dealers or private sellers can and will ruin the hobby.
There is Absolutely Nothing Wrong with You making Money , you are Human😊 You Teach People about Coins & it's TRUE. Thank you for Sharing Your Knowledge ❤
You have helped me from buying a coin that was bad over priced and I thank you for it.
This is the third video I ever saw of yours and I'm glad I saw it. I got to know you're point of view of things. I love coin collecting too I've been collecting since I was seven and I'm 42. ❤️
Every coin is a page from history. And it has traveled to you in bags and boxes and people's pockets. And most importantly in the Hands of untold millions of human beings. I am thrilled to hold and Adore them and think about the folks who held them. And fakes are lies about history, it's why it's a federal offense to counterfeit! Well, I think! LoL❤
Being educated and familiarizing yourself with coins of interest will prevent you from falling for scams and overpricing, which includes only buying from sellers you can trust.
I definitely appreciate your passion.
