I paused the video at 1:27 to say this: The three part video of the first box that came into your possession was one of the main motivators and reasons I began coin collecting. They are some of my all time favorite videos in relation to this silver and gold hobby and I cannot wait to watch what I can only assume is another 3 part video. Thank you so much for these videos and sharing this consignment! And thank you to the original collector who is responsible for this amazing hoard and the family for getting in touch with you! Amazing collection and amazing videos, definitely a once in a lifetime time kind of find and we the growers get to experience with you. Beyond excited!
Thank you so much for that comment! I try to read them as much as possible and often miss some, but ones like these are super encouraging in terms of continuing to put out content! I will relay the comment - and hopefully this (and a few similar) collections can snowball so I can have vids like this every week!!
@@TreasureTownCoins absolutely! Also just out of curiosity, when are you releasing part two and three of this unboxing? It’s been a couple weeks and I find myself checking my phone every day in anticipation for those videos.
it makes me so mad that coin dealer that bought the first box for $800 would feel good about when they did. I have been collecting coins for about 9 years and have come across a few crocked dealers. It's good to get to know the dealers in your area and the collectors.
Both the seller and buyer are responsible to do their own research. If one is knowledgeable and the other is not, they are at a great disadvantage. Maybe the coin shop owner didn't know what they were worth. A lot of them don't deal with foreign coins outside of the usual bullion ,canadian junk and mexican pesos. If he didn't take it to a shop that specializes in old foreign coins then that was also a mistake on the sellers part. Today there is no excuse, everyone with a cell phone has access to apps that will search anything you take a picture of and give you links to historical and price data.
😢 i few wonderful coins I'd love to have most of them can't afford such a beautiful collection but I really loved 3 or 4 of them luckily i know the value the history and the great qualities of most of the coins presented 🎉on the video 😊
Totally! Excited to deliver fun results and show everyone an EPIC collection - I bet the collector (who was an adult in the early 50s) had no idea that ~100K+ would be able to appreciate the assortment that he had put together.
I love the toning on some of these surfaces. I have some album and cabinet toned coins that look great. I’m not willing to pay a premium for tone though😂
The dealer who bought a box of these for $800 should be frickin embarrassed to even call themselves a "dealer". Even if they weren't very knowledgeable about the coins offered, they knew darn well they were robbing the people blind. Thanks you for stepping in and helping the family and the hobby in general.
I've never seen so many coins in a video which I've only seen in photos from a catalogue. Did the executor or administrator of the estate have any reaction about the first box of coins they sold for $800 when one of the coins you handled from the second box realized $6,000? I don't collect these type of coins; I'm just amazed at the number of and the condition of the coins is this collection.
It was incredible to behold. The executor was quite disappointed - without giving too much information, someone who had authority over the items but not the knowledge had made the error. I may be being overconfident, but by structuring the transaction in the manner I did, I believe that the estate will realize far more than they would have by selling outright even to a world coin dealer - auction was the way to go here - and so the overall result isn't so bad (though I shudder at the thought of a row of the first box being all Chinese coins)
I wish!! Shows that it can be worth paying up for nice, original coins as the rarities seem to appreciate with more consistency (though not necessarily US key dates.. so many got found in quantity on Morgans, for example)
Is there a comprehensive book available that might have all the information as to the individual countries , what currencies they use, and what those currencies look like. I am in the beginning stages of looking for foreign currencies and am hoping a book like that would help me. Thanks in advance for any info that might help me learn.
i hope you do,, i would like to see a list of each country, maybe be able to click on it to show all the bills and coins, not just old ones, @@TreasureTownCoins
I have a few of these early early really cool coin, I wonder if any were used in the US at one time as a one world currency like The Spanish eight reales? They are amazing and about the same size as a silver dollar... Some are larger and all are silver... One I have for example is an Austrian thaler in beautiful condition dated 1601... It's huge.. About at least 40-42 mm.
Very nice, the Napoleonic coins were cool. Joseph was made king of Spain for a time and I think Marshal Murat married Napoleon’s sister. Interesting that they seem to be in the same fashion as French coins under Napoleon. ---Also, all these coins are well struck with prominent designs. It kills me that today’s coins with modern technology have just a slight impression to save a country .05% on production. Good money should look respectable.
Always been curious. I know it's the case for me, I've expanded my knowledge quite a bit. How much world history would you say you've learned since getting into numismatics? And how many languages?
@@TreasureTownCoins Definitely learned a lot more about the Holy Roman Empire into the German Empire. It's fall after World War 1 into the Weimar Republic, and finally the Third Reich. I've learned more about the British Monarchy in the history of Canada. A lot of things Americans can't really say they've learned in world history. I can say that I've learned how to read Arabic and Asian numerals by trying to find the years on coins

Fabulous collection. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome!
This is an absolute dream collection. Amazing, so much history in one box! I could not imagine letting go of that collection.
Amazing history there. Makes me wish I had a lot more disposable cash!
Hahaha same!
oh man i could spend weeks with that box , amazing
Right?! Thanks!
Beautiful coins. Love this series. Can't wait to see the results of the last box.
Thanks J!!
These are amazing coins ... love the history behind them.
Thank you!

No problem!
I’m actually jealous. 😎
Very thankful!
Amazing collection!

They sold a box for $800??? Its good to see the rest of those coins in good hands! Good luck with the auctions.
Totally! Excited to deliver fun results and show everyone an EPIC collection - I bet the collector (who was an adult in the early 50s) had no idea that ~100K+ would be able to appreciate the assortment that he had put together.

Totally! I like the album/cabinet ones too!
Awesome

Does this collection have any old gold coins in it?

Could you provide a link to the other videos on this series? Very interesting!
I will update the description, good idea!
Boa noite 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 sou fã do canal , parabrns pelas mais belas moedas

Krause is not bad! I hope to make a good website. Numista is a really good place.

More motivation to buy more “crown sized” coins 😁
Also nice that I own a few of the ones from the first row
Haha exactly!
@@TreasureTownCoins and I see you have some more… love the 1700’s Ecus
@@WWFCOHIO Yes! And most will be for sale through my channels, as opposed to that collection.
Sardinia probably is from Sardegna. 👍
Thanks
These coins are all grey, I guess corroded from the acids in the paper. How does this affect their value?
Won't decrease it much.
Boa noite ! Belas moedas
The Franz Joseph and Sisi Gulden is rare, i bought one for 500-600$
Great!

Good question! Tons of history. Only a little bit of language. What about you?
@@TreasureTownCoins Definitely learned a lot more about the Holy Roman Empire into the German Empire. It's fall after World War 1 into the Weimar Republic, and finally the Third Reich.

Also I know more about the US's involvement in the Philippines during the first half of the 1900s.
Algeria has coin books
This is museum material, I never seen collection like that.
Absolutely!
Tengo unas cuantas monedas antiguas pero no se donde puedo verificar su valor
❤
Show the sides of the roll of coins not just back and front.
Sorry sir do u buy coin? I have inportant coins few but needs on my gmail 10:07 10:12 10:50
at minimum each coin is worth a couple hundred .. but you would know better then me
I'd say an average ahead of $200 makes sense!
first
Well done
