Thanks for the shout out. I've read that some dealers pay more for coins in OGP rather than slabbed. Part of the appeal of OGP is that the coins are untouched and uncertainty of whether they'll grade 69 or 70. It's cool that you compared a proof Merc dime to the proof Pd Eagle.
Hahaha. You could have fast forwarded that bagged up 63 Morgan I thought was a 64 LOL. I wish I had unlimited time to make videos. When the computer doesn't crash, and I don't forget editing commands it's pretty fun. That 38 set turned out to be a lot worse than I thought. Hairlines on the semi cam half, and lots of stress ridges on the quarter killed me. Oh well it's all good, I'll pass them on down the ebay road to someone who will enjoy them. Stay warm up there buddy.
@@Dr.G I'll take that toned Merc off your hands! That thing is awesome! PCGS was off their rocker on your coins this time. But like you said, the coins are way better than the grade so just enjoy the coins!
My FRIEND ! GOOD TO SEE YOU ! It has been a bit. Sweet lineup for us today bud. These are amazingly beautiful. I need to get that box on the table done and put away. It's starting to overflow, LOL. Well bud, I look forward to seeing you in the new year. Be happy and safe bud.
Excellent video all around. I really like that you go into the periodic chart and pay tribute to master sculptor A. Weinman (incidentally, his son, Robert, is also a sculptor of very high caliber and R. Weinman's designs can be seen on a number of different medals. What a remarkable story you have with the ordering of your 2018 proof Palladium Eagle....I have heard many stories of people trying to place their order at 12 noon and not being successful. I do think the coin is one of the best designed and quality coins ever minted by the US Mint. I also like your 1938 proof coins
Hey, thanks a lot for the great comment. I did read something regarding Weinman's son. I'll look more into it. And I'll definitely keep my Palladium Eagle mainly because of the story behind it's purchase and now, it even has a video about it. :) Thanks again, I really appreciate the kind words. It does takes me a lot of work to get these out.
@@Dr.G No doubt it's a lot of work....I know because I've created some videos that have some elaborate editing and yeah, for a perfectionist like me, it's a lot of work to create a video that passes my muster. So I'm sure your videos take a lot of work too....from a person who knows, I can tell. I'm subbing to your channel....keep up the fine work and yes, I'm keeping my 2018 Palladium Eagle too.
An excellent video indeed! I've been waiting for another results video! I get to live vicariously through these and get some right and others not so much. Where to start, great story on the Palladium and it does look incredible for a modern piece. I knew about it, thought about it, and decided not to. However, seeing more and more of these videos I am kind of regretting not getting one for the personal collection. That walking Proof half is beyond amazing! Beautiful design and contrast. I guessed the Morgan grade and PL. I've seen them look as such and go for higher and also look similar and go for 63's. I'm guessing they didn't like the small scratch on the obverse at the 3 o'clock and chatter marks on her cheek. Nonetheless an still an excellent coin. Thanks for sharing as always!
Thanks my man. Yeah, That Palladium is a winner. It almost didn't happen for me. I also love the walker, too bad they didn't. LOL. The Morgan was graded correctly after I looked closely. The reverse doesn't have much influence. I have others in better shape I haven't looked at yet, but will show in upcoming vids. I wish I could get them made faster. I'll see what I can do. :)
I actually have bought old collections that were formed before the grading craze. And now maybe 75% of the coins I buy are slabbed already so I don’t show those much. I plan on doing that when I’m finished opening the graded coins I have still in the box from PCGS. I’m so slow. I don’t want to just open them and not enjoy the experience without a little history to go along with it. It’s a lot more fun that way. But of course slows things down.
I in no way, shape, or form know how to grade coins, but I agree that the Morgan, Half Dollar, and Quarter should have all received a better grade. All three were spectacular looking coins, especially the Morgan. I truly like the way you present the coins in a “guess the grade” format with very clear and detailed video.
Your hilarious, that 1884cc is definitely a ms63 but is a beautiful PL. Great coin. I really like your videos because finally a RUclipsrs putting up coins i collect personally
Andrew Hart Andrew it’s amazing that they were able to produce such amazing quality on a production toggle press. They really worked hard to polish and blast those dies. I agree with you bud.
Holy crap that palladium coin is beautiful. So beautiful that after seeing it the other coins don’t look as nice. Probably should send that coin alone, might make the grader think your other coins aren’t as nice after seeing something like that.
Thanks Dave, I really like that Walker. It's too bad the grade is low. You really have to look close. I didn't think it was going to hurt the grade that much, as I have seen coins in slabs with monster hairlines still getting high proof grades. I also think it was too bright. The grading companies are not liking shiny coins nowadays, they are afraid of cleaning. Dark, dark coins are getting high grades now. Who knows, maybe in 30 years bright white will be back in fashion. I guess it's a bit of a crap shoot. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend.
Bought the Palladium proof......didn’t open it.......flipped it on eBay........made $700.........bought silver and gold. Great video! Very informative!!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I had NEVER flipped a coin before, but this was almost a no-brainer! After discussing it with Mrs. Yankee Stacking, I was ready to click at exactly noon. Then, when I got the confirmation after a few tense minutes, I had to talk with the Mrs AGAIN about NOT taking the $100. A much more experienced eBay Flipper helped me get it sold. What an experience!!! Not sure I’ll ever get another chance like that again, but I’m definitely back to my normal Yankee Stacking ways!! Thanks again for a great video! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Hi Dr. G. Congrats on your spectacular Palladium Eagle graded at PF70. How lucky you were that you were able to purchase the coin in the extremely isolated location with very limited resources at the right time. That is fantastic. Thanks for all your educational material on both Platinum, Palladium, and the history of the design. I learn a lot each time. In return, I would like to share one extra piece of info for both Platinum and Palladium from the chemistry point of view. The respective boiling and melting point for platinum at ~3825 deg C and ~1768.4 deg C are higher than Palladium at ~2963 deg C and ~1554.9 deg C. Its higher values over Pd is due to two factors : 1) The better packing efficiency of Pt in terms of its higher density than Pd and 2) Based on their electron configurations, Pt has 1 valence electron in the outer shell (6s) while Pd does not have any valence electrons in its outer shell (5s). Thus, the valence electron of Pt are delocalized to form stronger metallic bond than Pd. Now you know which one you should melt first if you do need to use the metal. lol Thanks for sharing your great video.
Cool. That lone electron out there in that last energy level makes all the difference. The "Velcro" electron LOL. I love the Noble metals...Thanks for the comment. Science is so fun. :)
Thanks again I always learn something new from you. Got to agree with Adolph Weinman being a superior artist. We have T. Roosevelt to thank for the changes in coin designs.
Hey, thanks a lot Tim. I try to pack as much info as I can. It seems I'm always working against the clock. Most people don't have a very long span of attention, but I can't stop.... Hahah. Appreciate the comment. :)
That Palladium coin is amazing. Congrats on the 70. Lovely PL Morgan, I immediately thought MS63PL when I saw it, just a little to much chatter in the fields on the obverse I think. Great video! I always enjoy the content you present. :)
Thanks, buddy, and you're right with the Morgan. It's been a while since I've looked at them and I must have gotten caught up with the reverse looking so good. LOL. But that's why I like doing the vids this way, you get to see the real deal. Years down the road I'll enjoy looking back at my own reactions. Learning is lots of fun for me. Thanks for the comment.
Great video sir. I love the PD Eagle. It will be a Reverse Proof for 2019. Still no word whether it will be available in bullion version. Nice 38 silver proofs. WOW!
Hey Alex, That is a cool set, but I probably wouldn't get them graded. It's pretty expensive and I'm not sure if the value will be that much higher if they're graded. Thanks for the comment my friend.
So glad I stayed right to the end! hahaha The paladium proof was great but, hey, modern coins ain't quite my scene... So half way through you finally got around to the real stuff and, wow! Well worth the wait, eh, big lad? Stunning coins - just as well I'm not a professional grader cos I was WAY out on all of them!!! LOL Thanks for that CC Morgan at the end - they don't come much sweeter than that! I picked up a few decent Morgans myself recently - hope you can check them out and let me know what you think.
I called that CC Morgan at MS63 PL. Compare it with others you have and you will see it is not quite nice enough to be a 64. Great coin though either way! I think the Mercury dime that got a AU58 was due to the eye appeal as well, just my guess! I was up in the air on getting that Palladium Mercury coin and I wish I did it really did jump! did you happen to see how high rhodium went up! I missed that ship and it has sailed unfortunately. Sometimes life takes over along with distractions and things are missed! Awesome video as always Dr. G.
@@Dr.G Great to hear from you as well. I have been popping in here and there but I have still been picking up coins. Mainly Morgans and Indian Head cents. I have some nice ones I am going to start posting. See you on another video! Awesome luck on that Palladium piece by the way. To log on a few minutes before the sale is pretty remarkable when you just found out. I have wanted to get something and forgot the next day. Don't count on me on that one Dr. G! lol
Nice job Dr G I've not seen your videos for awhile, We use to talk quite a bit before. Keep up the good work Great videos, I love your Palladium coin I also got one from the mint also grade PCGS 70 D cam I also ordered the 2007-w reverse proof of the Platinum II coin set if you remember when it come out and I also ordered 2-2007-w sets, low population and first & only platinum RP set and one set of mine was the 70 both coins reverse proof & the 70 proof of the two pcs Platinum coins in that set first strikes. Great talking to you dr. G keep up the good work brother must respect :-)🙏👍😳✌
Oh, man what a great group of coins you have. Amazing. Well done. I'm working on another couple videos. I have the coins I just need to find the time to put it all together :). But I'm still buying stuff and will show it all eventually. Nice hearing from you bud. Thanks for the nice note.
Bet your even more glad about this purchase now that palladium has passed up gold. I was looking at it when it was 600-700 bucks for a while just never pulled the trigger spent all the money on gold and silver.
Over the last 5 years palladium has risen significantly, but it is very volatile in the short term. I don't sell anything anyway. I would be happy if the price went to 5 bucks, then I could buy some more for my friends. LOL
Well I gained some "free" knowledge of of this one Doc !!!!!! And the coins were not bad either !!! Boy Ian will be pitching a fit in the morning !!!! LOL
Yeah, bud. Just super busy... buried actually. But I can see some daylight 😂 Planning on many more vids when I can come up for some air. Thanks for checking up. 👍
Whaddup G?I absolutely love your vids.Congrats on the Palladium coin,you deserve that.The 38's,they should've polished the dyes after each strike.Maybe bag marks on the Morgan kept it a 63.All stunners though.You gave me an idea for a drawing,if it turns out ok and you want it,I'll send it to you
Oh cool. Yeah, the bag marks on the obverse trumped the cool reverse on the Morgan. I'd love one of your drawings. Dr_kennyg@hotmail.com Thanks bro. Say hi to the boy.
Things are crazy over here Mike, still collecting like a madman. lol. I have lots to show but have been working on so many other things, including a few Instagram coin posts. Dr.g_coins. I'll make a new vid soon. Thanks for checking up on me bud.
That cc 1884 morgan ,I would give it a ms 62 at best , that's the problem with cc's a lot of them are banged up ,I have the same date in a gsa holder ,it looks like a ms 60 , it's like the mint workers liked to throw them around.
I negotiated a sale with MCM later the same day. Unopened box for $2K. $600 profit. MCM allowed me to share the vid and many in the community benefited. ;-)
Yeah, it looked like you had some good contacts working with this deal. $2K is cutting their percentage down quite a bit, I'm surprised they did that. You're always helping everyone out bud. Well done. :)
Just posted my first unboxing... Took some liberty to follow the Master.... Dr G Hope you don’t mind... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... 😉🇺🇸
I just got 27 Morgans and 11 peace dollars the other day and stumble across these videos learning about them. I have a few i might send off for grading might make a video of what i got.
Beautiful coin always loved the design of the mercury dime is the reverse side a new design?reminds me of the old standing liberty halves but different
Thanks great info. Nice coin. Some older minted coins just never rate 70s. Those often never got above a 64. But a 64 was tops for them. So for those a 64 is equivalent to a 70
It's hard to get higher than MS-63 on those Morgan CC's ...... That proof 38 quarter looked like the the end of the run for the dies.... Lot's of flow lines with a weaker strike than normal...... Plus Tard Mon Ami ...
You're absolutely right my friend. It's interesting for me to look at the finished video now. The Morgan is obviously a 63 but at the time I was seeing something else. I think the graders must have days like that.. LOL It was common for the early Washington quarters to be weak, especially on the reverse. There just wasn't a lot of relief to begin with unfortunately. And you are sure right about the flow lines, (stress ridges/radial abrasions), whatever you prefer to call them. That die was definitely on its last leg. Really poor for a proof coin. I've noticed that the grading companies completely disregard the quality of the die when they grade coins. Some horribly made coins can get very high grades as long as they have clean fields or some nice toning. I really disagree with those grades. Thanks a lot for all your comments. I appreciate it.
Merci for the reply , I have quite a few comments on your other videos.... I have been following you for a long time...On my gardening channel also , before I started my coin channel. My wife's Dr. is a coin collector also..... Looking forward to some new videos....
I just bought one, sure I way over payed for it, I just really like the coin, plan on keeping it for at 5-10 years, mine in a proof prs70 dcam NGC, if I can break even at some point I’ll get rid of it,
Question: Your opinion of the purchase of the 2016w ,1/10 oz , Gold Mercury Dime, graded MS 70 for $324? It’s nice. Thx You videos are are rich. Luv them.
Congratulations on getting the PR70 palladium coin. I guessed PR66 for the 1938 Dime, but I was way off on the '38 quarter. PR63! Somebody had a bad day. I hit the 64 on the half due to the hairlines. 65 on the penny. Wear on the 1919 dime could be weakish strike. Guessed 63 on the Morgan due to bag abrasions on the obverse. Fun! and thanks.
Man you’re right on buddy. I agree with you on all accounts. The half has hairlines that are distracting on an otherwise beautiful semi cameo coin. As much as I want to ignore the hairlines they’re still there. Lol. The grade is correct. I see many proof coins with high grades covered with hairlines that make me cringe. So I can’t change that criticism because it happens to be my coin. :). The quarter does look like the die was about to be pulled for repolishing. Lots of stress ridges, but again the graders usually don’t lower for that. I’ll look for a better one. The Morgan I just had a brain fade. LOL. That is obviously a 63. It’s been a while since I have looked at one and the reverse grabbed al my attention. Morgan dollars are graded almost 100% on the condition of the obverse (which has lots of bag marks on this coin). But I was in Lala land hahahah. My mistakes are visible to everyone, but that’s part of the fun of RUclips. :). I’ll look back years later and laugh. Grading coins for me is a lot like my golf game. One day I’ll shoot two over par and the next day I won’t be able to find the fairway hahahah. I always enjoy your comments, thanks again buddy.
@@meteoman7958 hey bud. Nice to see you. A blast from the past. I was in best buy today looking at cameras lol. I need to get the vids going again. Hope you’re well my friend.
Hello Dr G I just stubbed over your videos . I have watched many of them and enjoyed them . Keep up the good work . I do have a question for you . How much should you ask when selling a PCGS slabbed coin from there market price value ? Thanks for your help !
I've only sold a few coins, and I just ask a few bucks less than the others on ebay. I'm not a dealer and don't collect for profit, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. Thanks for the great comment Clint.
Hey my celebrity is back love the video thanks for the info absolutely gorgeous coin and maybe resend that Morgan???? I agree with you MS64 at least.!.!.!.! Thanks again bro man keep the videos coming!!!!!
Thanks buddy. I guess I got a little carried away with that nice reverse. Hahahah. After looking at it later, I guess 63 is not too far off. But that 38 proof set sure turned out to be a bust. I guess you can't win them all. LOL
Sweet coins love the palladium I would not sell that one at all it's only going to go up in value but I like your certified coins that's all I get except for my generic silver and gold Love you video thank you for sharing
Thanks a lot Russell, buying certified coins sure takes the gamble out of it. You never know what you'll get buying raw coins. Every once in a while thought, you get a real beauty. :) I appreciate the comment.
Yeah, will I didn't have the money either. LOL. Put me in the hole. But at least I know I didn't "lose" money. At least not yet. :) Thanks for watching.
Always educational, thanks Dr. G! Beautiful coin. Love the detail on the feathers on that eagle. Nice! Don't sell it! Any tips for someone interested in heading up north and trying gold mining? I've always been interested in it.
I'll keep it Robert. It has an interesting story being a little connected with the gold mine. I'd recommend a couple weeks poking around Dawson city one summer and getting the lay of the land. Just get your foot in the door, so to speak.
I hear what your saying but I'm gonna disagree. Every once and while a special item comes out. I'm no coin expert but I'm a collector of all sorts of things. I could see this one going higher in the future
@@chrisrock4428 Can you name another modern US example where this happened? Every example I can think of started out by massively increasing the price as initial demand and frenzy over the coin, then a year later was SIGNIFICANTLY off its highs. See: All Reverse Proofs, Gold Commem Walker, SLQ, and Dime, Liberty $100 metals from 2016 and 2017, ....the list goes on. I bet these coins sell for near their melt value within 12 months....but would be nice to be wrong. Using classic designs is a winning strategy for the US mint and I hope the continue.
Were you able to get 2019s enhanced reverse proof silver eagle this year same way, Dr G? Lots of people were trying to get one. Crazy profit for resellers (buy at $70 from mint, sell for 1000+ on eBay). Miss your videos!
No, I was one of the ones that had it in my shopping cart but was prevented from paying for it. I'm not a silver eagle collector but for 70 bucks I figured I'd try and get one for the collection. If you look at the price history of other very high priced silver eagles over the last few years it's amazing to see how much the price falls. I feel bad for the true ASE collectors though; most of them don't have deep pockets and enjoy collecting these because it's something new and affordable. The criminal dealers and flippers are brutal. They don't care who they rob. They will steal from the rich as well as the poor. Very sad. I hope congress approves another striking so that more of these coins will get into the true collectors hands. The greed in this hobby is sickening... and embarrassing. Nice to hear from you my friend. Thanks for the comment. 👍
It is sickening indeed. Very sad for true collectors. Mine is going to PCGS unopened next week, I was really lucky to get one. Hope to see you at Long Beach in February! Take care and thx again!
My father bought one, and sent to get graded...came back PF69. Total bummer!!!! Trying to sell, and not having any luck on eBay. Thinking about busting out of the case and just sell with mint case...what do you think? Thanks, keep doing what you do!!!
AGuySomebody101 I noticed that the other day. It’s a strange metal though often large price swings. I’m not in it for the metal price though, I just like the coin. Thanks for the comment my friend.
Thanks for sharing, Your attitude is what makes your video's fun to watch. Keep em comming.
Thanks a lot my friend. I like to show everyone what I'm thinking... even if it makes me look a little stupid later eg. the Morgan. Hahaha

Awesome, It's a lot of fun. 👍
Great coins and video. I always enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.

Glad to see palladium offered with a historic design. Great addition to USA bullion.
Just found this video. WOW what a beautiful coin Dr G! You sure have some wonderful coins!
Thanks Dale. 😊
Nice coins man. Miss your old videos
Thanks buddy. I’ll have another general coin video pretty soon. I have lots to show but little time to record. Thanks for watching bud.
I used to plate palladium along with gold and nickel. I wish I had grabbed one of these Eagles. I heard they sold out in 6 minutes. It is stellar.
Just found you. Love the fun you have and the excitement. Do some more videos.
Enjoyed the show Brotha! The quarter was stunning! Preesh the fun!
Hey, thanks. I think the quarter had too many stress ridges for them. I didn't see much else wrong with it. The grader wasn't in a very good mood. LOL
Great video with lots of info and beautiful coins my friend! Thanks for the show.
You're welcome Alexander. Glad you enjoyed it.
Gorgeous 38 Proofs, Dr. G! That proof Walking Liberty is stunning!
Yeah, I think it's nice. I guess the hairlines knocked it down, but really don't know. Oh, well, back to the drawing board. LOL
Great benjie quote.
I do love the palladium beautiful
Hi Dr. G. Congrats on your spectacular Palladium Eagle graded at PF70. How lucky you were that you were able to purchase the coin in the extremely isolated location with very limited resources at the right time. That is fantastic.
Thanks for all your educational material on both Platinum, Palladium, and the history of the design. I learn a lot each time. In return, I would like to share one extra piece of info for both Platinum and Palladium from the chemistry point of view. The respective boiling and melting point for platinum at ~3825 deg C and ~1768.4 deg C are higher than Palladium at ~2963 deg C and ~1554.9 deg C. Its higher values over Pd is due to two factors : 1) The better packing efficiency of Pt in terms of its higher density than Pd and 2) Based on their electron configurations, Pt has 1 valence electron in the outer shell (6s) while Pd does not have any valence electrons in its outer shell (5s). Thus, the valence electron of Pt are delocalized to form stronger metallic bond than Pd.
Now you know which one you should melt first if you do need to use the metal. lol Thanks for sharing your great video.
Cool. That lone electron out there in that last energy level makes all the difference. The "Velcro" electron LOL. I love the Noble metals...Thanks for the comment. Science is so fun. :)
It is indeed. So many of them are running around like in the race track. lol I feel the same way that science is an endless fun for everybody.
Nice Coin. Great Analysis. More people should think these things through. 👍
Thanks for the interesting video friend
You're welcome. :)
Thanks again I always learn something new from you. Got to agree with Adolph Weinman being a superior artist. We have T. Roosevelt to thank for the changes in coin designs.
Thanks Brian. Yeah what a great talent he was. I’m glad he was able to get his designs minted.
Thankyou for your knowledge I learn something every time you produce a video very good cool coin
Hey, thanks a lot Tim. I try to pack as much info as I can. It seems I'm always working against the clock. Most people don't have a very long span of attention, but I can't stop.... Hahah. Appreciate the comment. :)
That Palladium coin is amazing. Congrats on the 70. Lovely PL Morgan, I immediately thought MS63PL when I saw it, just a little to much chatter in the fields on the obverse I think.
Great video! I always enjoy the content you present. :)
Thanks, buddy, and you're right with the Morgan. It's been a while since I've looked at them and I must have gotten caught up with the reverse looking so good. LOL. But that's why I like doing the vids this way, you get to see the real deal. Years down the road I'll enjoy looking back at my own reactions. Learning is lots of fun for me. Thanks for the comment.
Great video sir. I love the PD Eagle. It will be a Reverse Proof for 2019. Still no word whether it will be available in bullion version. Nice 38 silver proofs. WOW!
Thanks my friend. I prefer the standard proof but the reverse will probably sell out as well.
Wish I could buy these coins easier . This Washington is fantastic
Hey, I am not sure if I should get the pride of two nations and get them graded with ngc, what are your thoughts
Hey Alex, That is a cool set, but I probably wouldn't get them graded. It's pretty expensive and I'm not sure if the value will be that much higher if they're graded. Thanks for the comment my friend.
Dr. G I think I will be passing on this. Not enough money to be made and with a mintage Of 110,000 it is too high
So glad I stayed right to the end! hahaha The paladium proof was great but, hey, modern coins ain't quite my scene... So half way through you finally got around to the real stuff and, wow! Well worth the wait, eh, big lad? Stunning coins - just as well I'm not a professional grader cos I was WAY out on all of them!!! LOL Thanks for that CC Morgan at the end - they don't come much sweeter than that! I picked up a few decent Morgans myself recently - hope you can check them out and let me know what you think.
Yeah I’m with you brother. Us old guys like old stuff lol. I’ll check out your morgan’s when I get back to my desktop. Thanks bud
Keep up the videos. I enjoy them!
Thanks bud. Appreciate it.
This is a beautiful coin
I called that CC Morgan at MS63 PL. Compare it with others you have and you will see it is not quite nice enough to be a 64. Great coin though either way! I think the Mercury dime that got a AU58 was due to the eye appeal as well, just my guess! I was up in the air on getting that Palladium Mercury coin and I wish I did it really did jump! did you happen to see how high rhodium went up! I missed that ship and it has sailed unfortunately. Sometimes life takes over along with distractions and things are missed! Awesome video as always Dr. G.
Hey thanks bud, nice to hear from you.
@@Dr.G Great to hear from you as well. I have been popping in here and there but I have still been picking up coins. Mainly Morgans and Indian Head cents. I have some nice ones I am going to start posting. See you on another video! Awesome luck on that Palladium piece by the way. To log on a few minutes before the sale is pretty remarkable when you just found out. I have wanted to get something and forgot the next day. Don't count on me on that one Dr. G! lol
congrats on getting that lovely coin completely agree with the eagle design being the best
Yeah, a classic design. We're lucky to have had him.
wow very sweet coins great vid
Thanks Kevin. I appreciate it. 👍
Nice job Dr G I've not seen your videos for awhile, We use to talk quite a bit before.
Keep up the good work Great videos, I love your Palladium coin I also got one from the mint also grade PCGS 70 D cam I also ordered the 2007-w reverse proof of the Platinum II coin set if you remember when it come out and I also ordered 2-2007-w sets, low population and first & only platinum RP set and one set of mine was the 70 both coins reverse proof & the 70 proof of the two pcs Platinum coins in that set first strikes.
Great talking to you dr. G keep up the good work brother must respect :-)🙏👍😳✌
Oh, man what a great group of coins you have. Amazing. Well done. I'm working on another couple videos. I have the coins I just need to find the time to put it all together :). But I'm still buying stuff and will show it all eventually. Nice hearing from you bud. Thanks for the nice note.
Bet your even more glad about this purchase now that palladium has passed up gold. I was looking at it when it was 600-700 bucks for a while just never pulled the trigger spent all the money on gold and silver.
Over the last 5 years palladium has risen significantly, but it is very volatile in the short term. I don't sell anything anyway. I would be happy if the price went to 5 bucks, then I could buy some more for my friends. LOL
Well I gained some "free" knowledge of of this one Doc !!!!!! And the coins were not bad either !!! Boy Ian will be pitching a fit in the morning !!!! LOL
Hahahahahahah
Stunning looking. Wow! Congrats on the purchase. :)
Thanks my friend. I got lucky with the notification.
Happy to see a new video.
Thanks bud.
Badass DR g
Dr G - Love your videos... When is your next one coming out... ??? I have watched them all... Love the Unboxing Videos... Waiting on doing one myself.
Hey thanks buddy. I just saw some really cool stuff on your channel. Everyone needs to jump over there and have a look. :)
Dr. G Thanks Dr G.... From the JV Team... your vids are unreal
That is such a beautiful coin. Makes me wish I had not sold it. Well, not really lol.....
Thanks bud. Did you sell to the dealer? or on ebay.
Dr. G I took the Silver Bean Counters deal with MCM.
Yeah, that was a crazy deal. I think you got the top price.
Dr. G where are you friend. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!!!!!
Yeah, bud. Just super busy... buried actually. But I can see some daylight 😂 Planning on many more vids when I can come up for some air. Thanks for checking up. 👍
Whaddup G?I absolutely love your vids.Congrats on the Palladium coin,you deserve that.The 38's,they should've polished the dyes after each strike.Maybe bag marks on the Morgan kept it a 63.All stunners though.You gave me an idea for a drawing,if it turns out ok and you want it,I'll send it to you
Oh cool. Yeah, the bag marks on the obverse trumped the cool reverse on the Morgan. I'd love one of your drawings. Dr_kennyg@hotmail.com Thanks bro. Say hi to the boy.
@@Dr.G What's up buddy?If you want,send me an address or POBox to hodge667@gmail.com, I have something for you.My son said whaddup G?😉
Another great dime.
I have not seen any new vids from you. I hope things are good with you. Keep up the great work
Things are crazy over here Mike, still collecting like a madman. lol. I have lots to show but have been working on so many other things, including a few Instagram coin posts. Dr.g_coins. I'll make a new vid soon. Thanks for checking up on me bud.
Love your channel. Great vids.
Thanks Ron, I appreciate it.
That cc 1884 morgan ,I would give it a ms 62 at best , that's the problem with cc's a lot of them are banged up ,I have the same date in a gsa holder ,it looks like a ms 60 , it's like the mint workers liked to throw them around.
Ha, yeah. It's tough to get a nice one for sure. Thanks for the comment James.
Hi Dr. G. I love the toning on the 1919 Merc.! *:-)*
Yeah, that is a crazy coin. I couldn't pass it up. Thanks for watching bud.
I negotiated a sale with MCM later the same day. Unopened box for $2K. $600 profit. MCM allowed me to share the vid and many in the community benefited. ;-)
Yeah, it looked like you had some good contacts working with this deal. $2K is cutting their percentage down quite a bit, I'm surprised they did that. You're always helping everyone out bud. Well done. :)
very nice pieces, I like that 1938 quarter
Thanks my friend. You have some nice coins as well. :)
Just posted my first unboxing... Took some liberty to follow the Master.... Dr G Hope you don’t mind... imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... 😉🇺🇸
Just saw it bud. Very cool. Keep it up man. :)
I just got 27 Morgans and 11 peace dollars the other day and stumble across these videos learning about them. I have a few i might send off for grading might make a video of what i got.
Beautiful coin always loved the design of the mercury dime is the reverse side a new design?reminds me of the old standing liberty halves but different
Thanks great info. Nice coin.
Some older minted coins just never rate 70s. Those often never got above a 64.
But a 64 was tops for them. So for those a 64 is equivalent to a 70
Thanks, Yeah, I guess I was a little over optimistic. :)
Great coins!
Hey, thanks a lot. Glad you liked it.
It's hard to get higher than MS-63 on those Morgan CC's ...... That proof 38 quarter looked like the the end of the run for the dies.... Lot's of flow lines with a weaker strike than normal......
Plus Tard Mon Ami ...
You're absolutely right my friend. It's interesting for me to look at the finished video now. The Morgan is obviously a 63 but at the time I was seeing something else. I think the graders must have days like that.. LOL It was common for the early Washington quarters to be weak, especially on the reverse. There just wasn't a lot of relief to begin with unfortunately. And you are sure right about the flow lines, (stress ridges/radial abrasions), whatever you prefer to call them. That die was definitely on its last leg. Really poor for a proof coin. I've noticed that the grading companies completely disregard the quality of the die when they grade coins. Some horribly made coins can get very high grades as long as they have clean fields or some nice toning. I really disagree with those grades. Thanks a lot for all your comments. I appreciate it.
Merci for the reply , I have quite a few comments on your other videos.... I have been following you for a long time...On my gardening channel also , before I started my coin channel. My wife's Dr. is a coin collector also..... Looking forward to some new videos....
I just bought one, sure I way over payed for it, I just really like the coin, plan on keeping it for at 5-10 years, mine in a proof prs70 dcam NGC, if I can break even at some point I’ll get rid of it,
It's a beauty. 👍👍
Question: Your opinion of the purchase of the 2016w ,1/10 oz , Gold Mercury Dime, graded MS 70 for $324? It’s nice. Thx
You videos are are rich. Luv them.
Beautiful coin man. Love it.
Congratulations on getting the PR70 palladium coin. I guessed PR66 for the 1938 Dime, but I was way off on the '38 quarter. PR63! Somebody had a bad day. I hit the 64 on the half due to the hairlines. 65 on the penny. Wear on the 1919 dime could be weakish strike. Guessed 63 on the Morgan due to bag abrasions on the obverse. Fun! and thanks.
Man you’re right on buddy. I agree with you on all accounts. The half has hairlines that are distracting on an otherwise beautiful semi cameo coin. As much as I want to ignore the hairlines they’re still there. Lol. The grade is correct. I see many proof coins with high grades covered with hairlines that make me cringe. So I can’t change that criticism because it happens to be my coin. :).
The quarter does look like the die was about to be pulled for repolishing. Lots of stress ridges, but again the graders usually don’t lower for that. I’ll look for a better one. The Morgan I just had a brain fade. LOL. That is obviously a 63. It’s been a while since I have looked at one and the reverse grabbed al my attention. Morgan dollars are graded almost 100% on the condition of the obverse (which has lots of bag marks on this coin). But I was in Lala land hahahah. My mistakes are visible to everyone, but that’s part of the fun of RUclips. :). I’ll look back years later and laugh.
Grading coins for me is a lot like my golf game. One day I’ll shoot two over par and the next day I won’t be able to find the fairway hahahah. I always enjoy your comments, thanks again buddy.
@@Dr.G I miss your videos.
@@meteoman7958 hey bud. Nice to see you. A blast from the past. I was in best buy today looking at cameras lol. I need to get the vids going again. Hope you’re well my friend.
@@Dr.G Glad to hear it. Your videos were fun and educational. I also love seeing gold dug out of the ground.
The US Mint will offer the Palladium in Reverse Proof in the Fall of 2019
I’m not a fan of the reverse proof. It will be a big seller though no matter what they produce. Thanks for the info.
I missed it!
Hello Dr G I just stubbed over your videos . I have watched many of them and enjoyed them . Keep up the good work . I do have a question for you . How much should you ask when selling a PCGS slabbed coin from there market price value ? Thanks for your help !
I've only sold a few coins, and I just ask a few bucks less than the others on ebay. I'm not a dealer and don't collect for profit, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. Thanks for the great comment Clint.
Amazing coins
Thanks my friend.
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Thank you Maxxx. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
Hey my celebrity is back love the video thanks for the info absolutely gorgeous coin and maybe resend that Morgan???? I agree with you MS64 at least.!.!.!.!
Thanks again bro man keep the videos coming!!!!!
Thanks buddy. I guess I got a little carried away with that nice reverse. Hahahah. After looking at it later, I guess 63 is not too far off. But that 38 proof set sure turned out to be a bust. I guess you can't win them all. LOL
@@Dr.G
Lol no you can't when them at all lol
Russia's company Norilsk Nickel ranks first among the largest palladium producers globally, accounting for 39% of the world's production.
👍 They control it.
Sweet coins love the palladium I would not sell that one at all it's only going to go up in value but I like your certified coins that's all I get except for my generic silver and gold Love you video thank you for sharing
Thanks a lot Russell, buying certified coins sure takes the gamble out of it. You never know what you'll get buying raw coins. Every once in a while thought, you get a real beauty. :) I appreciate the comment.
I getting certified silver eagles collection all 69 and my Morgan's are all 63 cuz I can't afford to get anything better
Sounds like fun. 63's are fine. Awesome.
That proof 1938 quarter looks great. Should have graded higher than PR63.
I would send the 1938 Washington quarter to CAC, it may get a gold sticker, a 63 is ridiculous.
Yeah, that might be fun to try. A gold sticker is sort of an announcement to everyone that the grading company really screwed up. LOL 😂
Wish I had the jack $ to purchase, stunning coin, worth it to get graded!
Yeah, will I didn't have the money either. LOL. Put me in the hole. But at least I know I didn't "lose" money. At least not yet. :) Thanks for watching.
Dr. G 👍
Always educational, thanks Dr. G! Beautiful coin. Love the detail on the feathers on that eagle. Nice! Don't sell it! Any tips for someone interested in heading up north and trying gold mining? I've always been interested in it.
I'll keep it Robert. It has an interesting story being a little connected with the gold mine. I'd recommend a couple weeks poking around Dawson city one summer and getting the lay of the land. Just get your foot in the door, so to speak.
Yes was a good buy
I certainly was!!!
Always love your videos! If it were me, I would take a $600 profit and run :) - US moderns tend to use value over time.
I hear what your saying but I'm gonna disagree. Every once and while a special item comes out. I'm no coin expert but I'm a collector of all sorts of things. I could see this one going higher in the future
@@chrisrock4428 Can you name another modern US example where this happened? Every example I can think of started out by massively increasing the price as initial demand and frenzy over the coin, then a year later was SIGNIFICANTLY off its highs. See: All Reverse Proofs, Gold Commem Walker, SLQ, and Dime, Liberty $100 metals from 2016 and 2017, ....the list goes on. I bet these coins sell for near their melt value within 12 months....but would be nice to be wrong. Using classic designs is a winning strategy for the US mint and I hope the continue.
Beautiful coin!
The PD Eagle is gorgeous, but out of my budget.
Yeah not not cheap unfortunately.
Were you able to get 2019s enhanced reverse proof silver eagle this year same way, Dr G? Lots of people were trying to get one. Crazy profit for resellers (buy at $70 from mint, sell for 1000+ on eBay). Miss your videos!
No, I was one of the ones that had it in my shopping cart but was prevented from paying for it. I'm not a silver eagle collector but for 70 bucks I figured I'd try and get one for the collection. If you look at the price history of other very high priced silver eagles over the last few years it's amazing to see how much the price falls. I feel bad for the true ASE collectors though; most of them don't have deep pockets and enjoy collecting these because it's something new and affordable. The criminal dealers and flippers are brutal. They don't care who they rob. They will steal from the rich as well as the poor. Very sad. I hope congress approves another striking so that more of these coins will get into the true collectors hands. The greed in this hobby is sickening... and embarrassing.
Nice to hear from you my friend. Thanks for the comment. 👍
It is sickening indeed. Very sad for true collectors. Mine is going to PCGS unopened next week, I was really lucky to get one. Hope to see you at Long Beach in February! Take care and thx again!
I'll be there bro. Best of luck with PCGS. I'm glad you got one. 😀
cool video
Thanks my friend.
man that is a beautiful coin. new sub
Thanks my friend. I appreciate it.
My father bought one, and sent to get graded...came back PF69. Total bummer!!!! Trying to sell, and not having any luck on eBay. Thinking about busting out of the case and just sell with mint case...what do you think? Thanks, keep doing what you do!!!
Agreed...walking liberty half dollar is my FAVORITE!!!!
Nice dime.
Thanks for the tip!
You're welcome Brad. Thanks for the comment.
Grate video
Thanks buddy. Glad you liked it. :)
Wish I could grade some of my coins but I see them more like museum relics.
So Palladium has gone up a bit...
AGuySomebody101 I noticed that the other day. It’s a strange metal though often large price swings. I’m not in it for the metal price though, I just like the coin. Thanks for the comment my friend.
Love this video!! Now I want one!! 😂
Get one brother. I think these are worth hanging on to. Beautiful design, and super cool metal. Thanks for the comment.
Interesting vid
Thanks Carl.
