The short AI vids screaming "CHECK YOUR POCKETS! IF YOU HAVE THIS PENNY, YOU'RE RICH!" were amusing at first, but now there are sooooo many of them.

[@TheQuickSilver101]

I've found a few errors but none of them are particularly valuable. Coin collecting is a lot of fun unless you're wishing you're coins were worth millions when they're not. Thanks, Daniel!

[@robertbihn3005]

One thing I keep seeing over and over is 1971 Lincoln cent "no mintmark error", or any other coin before the P mintmark was added. If you are a new collector the best tool to have is a coin Red Book, even if it's an older one.

[@cutlerylover]

biggest pet peeve is when someone googles a coin and think its worth $25,000...What they dont know is either they dont actually have that coin or they do have a very poor version of it and have no idea how much the condition effects that price...Also the one that sold for $25,000 was the most expensive auction wining bid in history lol that coin may not even be as popular or sought after now as it was during the time of that specific auction...its literally the very best case scenario for that coins value which probably wont ever happen again... second biggest pet peeve (im in a ton fo coin groups on Facebook) people asking the value of a coin they found with no mint mark thinking that means its rare or valuable..l???? (rolls eyes)

[@ronmueller1164]

Beginners should avoid "error" collecting altogether. It's way too advanced and subjective. So many other and more interesting areas to focus on. I believe social media has portrayed errors and varieties as the most popular way of collecting and it isn't.

[@scotts1356]

Great point. I've been collecting coins for years. To this day, I rarely, if ever, look for error coins. It takes too much time and if yoiu don't know exactly what you're looking for, you're wasting your time.

Thanx Daniel!! The amount of knowledge I have about coins is greatly surpassed by what I don't know about coins, Thank You for sharing your extensive knowledge!!

[@randallrruschmann-to8bs]

Daniel, I've enjoyed all your Info Vids for about 4 years or so. Thank You for your knowledge. I have purchased many manuals you have suggested, again, Thank You. I enjoy collecting World Coins, but also do U.S. coins as well. The only time I will use Google is if I am unsure of what country a coin is from. What I do is type in as much info from the coin as posable, usually I get back positive info on where the particular coin originated. I have many Standard Catalogue of World Coins for reference, weight, size, composition, etc. You are correct, this is a Hobby, meant to be enjoyed and have some fun. Yes, against your warning, I have put together coins for my kids. But, I let them know that what they have is for education for their kids and maybe grandchildren, and not to expect to get rich someday.

[@patchrat1]

What used to be cheap common errors that we Always tossed back into the bag; especially BIE die chips and Repunched mint marks are justbgoingbfor for insane prices; that and many influencers advocate grading everything in your collection, and influencers selling coin mats(what a Redbook is for) and buying a microscope, ughh!

This is a great video and great advice!!! First is I’m not waiting to settle this before I die and leave it to my wife or kids… they have never gotten into Coin Collecting, my daughter said she just wants a few key coins… my son will collect later… so I’m grading my Morgans (those worth it) and selling off extra commons… including all of my extra Proof and Mint sets… I’ll leave a nice word doc with instructions? Sites to use later and a few dealers to trust and those to avoid…

[@the_big_dog813]

Searching Lincoln and Jefferson rolls from the bank is just fun, it is usually not for profit -- you'd make a lot more per hour at Walmart! And if you do search coins, have a list of the varieties that you are looking for, don't just randomly look.

[@petervalenti6349]

[@jimpalsson4147]

That is good sound down-to-earth advice.

[@Handle_number_7]

Reminds me of a Mercury dime cud I found recently. My initial reaction was thinking I found something big. But as I thought about it, it occurred to me that it's a common date, and that there were likely many of them. Not to mention it isn't overly large. While it may be more valuable to a collector of mercury dimes, it isn't overly spectacular. I've learned to curb my expectations, and try to be more conservative. Though I have to admit, the bags of 'Junk' mercury dimes I've been picking up have some pretty striking coins in them 😳 Makes me wonder if they're even sorting through them. It can be time consuming lol

[@rickhicks6833]

I don’t look for errors. I do check my coins. Gound a 1916d mercury. Sent it to be graded to be graded. Came back g4. So I'm happy. I check ebay sold listing's, and the red book or something similar. Then sale somewhere near 2/3rds ebay, which is almost always higher then book value.

[@paulbowman1442]

[@leechild4655]

There are a lot more uneducated people collecting coins than people that have a good bit of coin knowledge really. To get educated you need to do a whole lot of reading of coin books and online in coin chatrooms etc. Not just that but looking at tons of coins at shops and coin shows. Learn how to grade based upon what graded coins grade. Lastly, don`t go cleaning yoyr coins unless you know exactly what you`re doing and even then, most experts will tell you, don`t clean your coins. Most times your well-intentioned cleaning will lower the grade and just ruin it it some way that lowers its value significantly. If you`re into it to make money, collect smart. How do you do that? Look at what coins never go down in value over time. Better dates and varieties for one. Or even junk silver if its for a long-term investment. Twenty years from now silver will most likely be much higher and you`ll be happy you got them cheap compared to that future value. Mainly if you invest in coins and/or bullion, think long term, not 3-4 years.

[@fossil9440]

The red book seems to be high retail for most common coins. To be more realistic, I use the blue book to get a better idea of what to expect for my common coins. Thanks so much.

It’s in really good condition. Guess what it’s worth? It’s worth a penny. I looked at Daniel’s video from 5yrs ago and I’m satisfied that it will be rolled and deposited! lol It was fun to find and to look at though. No one’s going to get rich off of this! Do it for the love and joy of it. When my visa bill is $209.01, I just found the .01 on the ground! 😂

[@LstrO42]

I gotta admit I do enjoy a good debate, but most of it is cut and dry as to value and varieties or errors. Even after a few years hoarding and learning, it still isn't as educational as looking and doing.

[@Errorsandoddities33]

Grading companies need to adopt cutting-edge technology like AI-driven analysis and advanced imaging to improve consistency! There’s already an incredible AI called N.U.M.I., built through GPT technology, and it’s insanely accurate. I’ve honed its skills with exclusive, in-depth prompts and even put it to the test with multiple blind grading challenges-covering the grades on slabs-and it has nailed them every time.

@CoinHELPu I was just pulling a 🦵🏻. I did catch that though one day I was looking at one of those quarters with the lady whose garment is full of words and I said to myself, how in the world is anyone supposed to read that without a microscope? At my age I can see much less than when I was 20 or 30. The U.S. Mint has lost their marbles. Then I saw the COD and then maybe I watch a video you had put out last year some time addressing this issue. I just wish they used a different font, something that looks more clear when it comes to the G, if you hold I one way looks like a G and if you hold it another looks like a C.

If you need a microscope zoomed in 50x to point out something that looks ever so slightly different its not a ^&$%ing error! its just a slight variation on the die due to wear or pressure.

I was going to ask you about a coin actually a couple coins I have three that I found looking through Penny bags couldn't figure it out no one knew anything. Then I looked on your site and I clicked on one of your internet addresses in your description and I think I may have found what you call a variant on the cap dye error. These examples look like a penny on the obverse and the reverse but the rimage looks as if the penny got stuck between 3 rotating or non-rotating dies this is a description and what it did is it raised the edge or the rim of the coin. It also shrunk the diameter down just a smidgen. Have you ever seen something like that? Keep up the good work enjoy your videos thank you

I have gone through over 5000 coins. I have 1400 on CoinSnap that I have kept and then I have little plastic Ziploc bags for them and I have them separated my foreign coins my silver coins, silver dollars even my 1955 double die, which isn’t as strong as the one that they always promote. But what I’m getting from you is why bother as well take them down to a coin thing and dump them all in the junk and get$.90 on the dollar.
