How do I get in contact with you to become a client? Small stacker/collector but sure do love it and am gaining a trainload of knowledge from you. I am grateful for you.

[@charlie59r]

Daniel, you are definitely one of kind. I’ve been following your videos for a while now and I’m so glad that I have. You are an honest and trustworthy dealer that tells things as they are. Unfortunately there aren’t enough people like you out there. We as human beings are naturally trusting and sometimes very gullible. We let ourselves believe that businesses are fair and have our best interests in mind. I realize that even you are in business to make a profit but your approach and honesty sets you apart from so many others. Let me not take up too much of your time and suffice it to say, thanks for your work ethics and honesty. I will continue to be a loyal follower.

[@smking100]

Thanks for the information! My first major coin purchase was in 2008 through a deal you described: a collection of US Mint Uncirculated Sets spanning 1968 -2006 that I paid about $700 for through one of those home shopping channels. The actual retail individual value of the set pieces totaled about $450, so I ended up paying $250 more than I should have, or more than 50% over value. But I was new and didn't know any better. 12 years later, I now purchase all manner of coins and currency, but not without doing extensive research on each before buying. Consider that $250 back then the cost of my education.

Very helpful video . I'm 60 years old have doing Collecting since I was about 8 or 9. I see these predatory people And I hope Karma Gets Them. I helped so many people out Telling them what not to buy . My own brother was gonna buy silver When it was 23 an ounce. I Asked him why he Said everybody says is going to go to 50 I told him wait it will go down I'll tell you when to buy. I bought10 oz from Provident Spot price free shipping. 14.74 an ounce last Night has a new customer.Called my brother today he said all let me think about it..

My grandfather fell for Littleton's coin gimmicks back in the 80s and 90s. I have no idea how many coins he actually bought off them, as only a few were still in the envelopes or package they came in. However, I see the writing on the wall so-to-speak as I'm going through his collection. These people will do just about _anything_ to sell you something for a quick dollar and it's sad to see the other end of the deal, the people they rip off, their hard-earned cash going to waste.

You're welcome I saw that as well.

[@tomfeldbruegge8744]

As always great advice! I only buy 1 mintset per year, just to keep my sets up to date. The mint has come out with so much stuff (proofs, reverse proof, enhanced coins and on and on) and make so much of it. I wish there was more honest dealers like you around. Thanks again!

[@elee950021]

Great video! You have to remember: "Rare Coins" are rare and valuable because they are rare and valuable! HSN and other marketers need items to sell that are available in large quantities and at such a low cost that can be marked up tremendously. Ask yourself: "How rare can the coins be if they are sold via TV, the Internet, magazines and direct mail?" Save up and buy one or several "rare" coins from a legitimate dealer such as Daniel that will have much more potential than the quarters, halves and dollars that are now cranked out by the US Mint! Do some research and let history be the guide to what's rare and desirable to collectors. Be well! Ed

[@pgreen6840]

THANK YOU for this video presentation. I recently came into possession of my wife's grandfather's "collection". I am new to this. This video commentary is valuable!!

[@MrDavidknigge]

The trouble is these people are isolated and not telling anyone what they're doing. The other day, I went into my local coin shop and there was a man and his daughter selling stacks of silver rounds so that she could get a puppy. After they left I asked the shop owner if they were for sale? He said he was putting them into the scrap bucket. Turns out they were 20-gram rounds with George W on them. Her grandpa was buying these from a TV ad and giving them to her. They were worth only a fraction of what he paid. If he had gone to the coin shop, they could have steered him towards a much smarter purchase that would have held much more value.

[@blindlemon9]

Unethical and misleading coin sales are the bane of this otherwise hugely rewarding hobby/investment. There is a very steep learning curve for novice numismatists. You do a superb job of educating some of us who might otherwise make a costly mistake during this learning process. I also like how you emphasize that certain types of sets such as paint or hologram decorated coins are fine to collect for fun to post on a shelf but really not with the expectation that value will stay the same or increase. Thanks for posting your enlightening videos.

[@CoinHELPu]

Thank you and you're welcome

[@BC3607]

[@TechnMoto]

Please don’t collect this stuff thinking your going to leave it to your family and it is going to be worth something. I now am dealing with this coin collection that was left to my wife and am quickly learning that it’s not worth anything or not much more than money value. The time it’s taking me to deal with this is astronomical and could be spent better elsewhere earning real money. Heck the money spent on this collection would have been better invested instead in the stock market. If you like coin collecting fine. But at least pass on your knowledge and let the people who your leaving this stuff to know it’s true worth. Daniel, great advice. Thanks.

[@tleav61]

Yeah, those “grab bags” are a scam. I bought a few rolls of pennies once. Never again! Every one of them were so smooth, that you couldn’t even see the dates.

my adviice , for new collectors, is simply dont buy expensive high ticket items....you can buy siilver coins for example for just a few bucks if you know where to look, and alot of coins, really neat ones that go for only five, ten , maybe 15 bucks,,... just start modestly....and as you learn what your doing...you can buy higher ticket items....and the reason i suggest silver, is becuase you can at least fall back on the silver content of the coin....so you know it has at least some value...anyways ....thats just my two cents..(pre 1982 cents) gl!

I am collecting for two reasons well actually three. Reason one I get lots of fun and joy out of it as I am sure most of us stackers do number two I honestly believe we will soon see the dollar become useless have zero value and we the people suffer is great poverty those of us with at least some precious metals will at least have some bater power and last but not least I want to leave my daughter and grandchildren something besides paper money maybe I can influence them to become stackers with me I am putting together a small collection for each of them in hopes they join me what a bunch of fun could we have collecting as a family huh.

[@meauxjeaux431]

To determine a coin's worth, I "watch" at least 10 coins, and preferably more, of the same year, mint mark, quality and wear. Then I average the prices they auctioned for. That's a fairly accurate barometer in my opinion.

[@CoinHELPu]

I agree

[@MrTommyboy68]

I have 80 % of my "stash" in pre 1964 dimes and quarters, 20% in silver Eagles. I buy locally and PAY CASH. Dimes and quarters will be easier to barter with than silver Eagles or ANY gold coins (when the whole shooting match melts down (and if it doesn't before i die, they go to a local pet shelter to be SOLD FOR MAXIMUM GAIN)

[@meauxjeaux431]

Wow, Same reasoning with me. I just posted this a minute ago...............I have a collection of all kinds of old U.S. coins. I don't collect as an investment as much as I do for an inflation hedge, since my cash only looses money just sitting in the bank. The other reason is for when, not if "IT" happens and paper money is worthless. I am seriously considering redeeming everything, including the silver coins in order to reinvest in dimes only. When "IT" happens, try buying something of value such as food, with that huge 25-50 dollar one dollar coin and see what happens. You sure don't want paper money as change. With dimes, you won't expect or need to get "change" back. You also don't have to convince anybody that your cute little silver "piece" is real silver, and you won't have to convince anybody that your dimes are real. Am I on track with my thinking or not ?

[@MrTommyboy68]

@@meauxjeaux431Yep. I've been saying this for YEARS. Silver Eagles are OK but getting change will be a problem. Dimes work much better as it is a SMALL piece of silver. For the past 2 years I have been buying rolls of dimes, pretty much stopped on the silver Eagles. I remember my history classes and how after WWII you needed a wheel barrow full of marks to buy a loaf of bread. WHEN the "crash" happens, the government WILL be at your bank when you go to open your safe deposit box and take it from you. People think I am nuts, but have NEVER BEEN THIS FRIGHTENED (and I am 64). Things are about to get real ugly. AND DON'T tell anyone you are keeping silver and hide it someplace secure. Good luck and thanks for actually reading my comments and thinking abut it. SMALL silver is the way to go, just avoid paying for "proof" or high dollar uncirculated coins. Circulated is OK because silver is silver.

[@meauxjeaux431]

@@MrTommyboy68 BIRDS OF A FEATHER ! I'm 66, and as frightened as you, because unlike so many people with their heads in the sand...I PAY ATTENTION ! I will NEVER buy a cute, special, "collector" or uncirculated coin either, because I already have too many of those. all I want is just silver dimes in decent shape...PERIOD ! The biggest problem I have is selling my collection and not getting what it's really worth, and then turning right around and buying dimes at the same value. And NO you are not nuts, unless I am too. My Truck NEVER goes anywhere my 9.mm does not go, and I have several guns, all fully loaded AND chambered in easily accessed places throughout my house. And if that's not enough, my entire outside living area including my house is surrounded by an 8 foot high "Trump wall" !

[@meauxjeaux431]

@@MrTommyboy68 I don't see somebody trading me more of a product because a coin is shiny, pretty, uncirculated or a collector piece either, because at that point, people won't be looking for "collector" coins, but just silver....PERIOD ! I'm also wanting to keep up with inflation, because banking my cash does NOT work. In the 60s you could buy a loaf of bread with a silver dime...today, with the same exact dime....YOU STILL CAN ! I know that 1st. hand because In the 50s, 60s, and 70s, my dad sold bread house to house and back then, would get paid with silver dimes, quarters, .50c pieces, and even dollar coins, even after '65 because people never valued them. He had lots of foresight because during those 30 years, he kept EVERY silver coin, plus every real old nickles and pennies.

[@jamess.829]

The U.S. Mint sets up a lot of secondary dealer markup prices by selling a coin or a set with a projected low mintage with no household limit. I've tried to get something from the mint that sells out within the first half hour, or less, and then go immediately to EBay and find as many as I want at a huge marked up price. Now, since the Mint has started putting a household limit on their low mintage coins I have received emails and have seen advertisements asking people to buy these coins from the Mint, and then sell them at a small profit to these dealers so that they can turn around and sell them at a big profit.

1st strike means struck within the first month of release which means nothing. The dye for ase's are replaced now and then so I just look at detail, most are probably 69 anyway from the mint .In the old days friends of the director would get first strikes , maybe the first 100 , those were real first strikes ,probably still happens today. These slabs could be 100,000 or more and I have never bought them . But I think you're right as usual not to "invest" in these things .keep it up ,enjoy hearing what you have to say.

[@paulgoss1371]

I agree with everything you said about tv dealers. For the most part they are rip off artists like you said. I am extremely picky about where I buy coins and I avoid them like the plague. That being said,there is one,and only one that is legit with descent prices. That is AVC. They sell huge amounts of mint sets,for example,and they usually boil down to $6-8 per set if you do the math. I’ve purchased only one thing from them and that was an MS64 1957 Franklin half slabbed and graded by NGC. I paid $29.95 for it which I thought reasonable. But that is my second favorite coin next to the Kennedy half so I didn’t really care if I spent a few bucks extra. It’s a beautiful coin and I love it. Check them out. AVC on channel 87 on Dish. All the other tv dealers,and I’ve watched them all,are exactly what you said. Overpriced. If I’m worried about buying a certain coin I go straight to the U.S. Mint and make my purchase. Private mints suck and they produce high priced junk in my experience. Plus I don’t trust them. Just because they say something is silver doesn’t mean it is. And I do deal a lot with eBay because they have their own money back guarantee and they are on the buyers side not the dealers which is awesome. If you feel you got scammed by a seller they will make it right. So U.S. Mint or eBay are what I stick to mostly and Provident. I have nothing but good things to say about them. The Franklin purchase I made from AVC was an exception but if you haven’t,check them out. Their prices are not like typical tv dealers. Believe me,I’m as cautious as it comes when I spend my money. Some would even say cheap but that’s ok. I got ripped off by a local coin dealer when I first started collecting because I didn’t know anything so I made it a point to educate myself. Overall,excellent video especially for new coin collectors. I wish I would’ve had advice like that when I started cuz I learned the hard way but I think we all make a mistake along the way once in a while. Keep those videos coming!! You and BlueRidgeSilverHound are my two favorites. Both very knowledgeable and I know a good bit but I still learn something new every day. Nobody can know everything and if they tell you they do,they’re delusional. Lol. Thanks again for the video!! I’ll take all the advice I can get!!

Thanks for you comment! I learn something new everyday. I agree blueridge is good, about like me on most things. Thanks for watching!

[@virgilrw]

I just saw exactly what you're talking about by looking at the U.S. mint just this morning... 😎 Thank You! ☆☆☆☆☆

[@danielmalloy6093]

Thanks for your honesty. We need more people like you in this world. I've learned something valuable today. As for myself, I will invest in a good metal detector and follow your advise on selling!

[@CoinHELPu]

You're welcome

[@charlesv.anthony43]

Good job Daniel I almost fell for the thank you.

[@Timothy--vb7rr]

HSN had 1994-1999 S green box sets. $100. I won't go into the hype of breaking the sets up were. My wife said that I should not yell at the TV. LoL.

[@CoinHELPu]

LOL!

[@saminsalaco5829]

Great information. So glade i found your channel, its been a huge help.

[@suec3215]

Thanks for sharing all this knowledge.

[@davidphillips5840]

We definitely need to be careful.I got ripped off for 20 dollars from a lady from a coin site.She told me she would send me a roll of early 1900 coins.I sent postal money order an never got my coins.Actually she lied at first and used she sent them,never did and there wasn't much I could do.I quit any kind of coin checking or looking.I ve taking that lesson an chalked it up,PayPal is the way to go.

[@Muttleytech]

I remember the 1999 silver proof sets selling for $475 each from all the hype. Look what they go for today. Still not bad though for what I paid for mine from the mint.

[@troodon1096]

Even the clad 1999 sets were selling for crazy prices at one point, because people were trying to finish their sets of the state quarters. But they've come way down since then.

[@gregmccoy8311]

Yea ive seen adds saying they took a cross country trip buying unsearched wheats and estate lots.I couldnt imagine me being a coin junkie and having them, without searching .I'd be searching some asap.

[@CoinHELPu]

Exactly

[@pennsyltuckyden9823]

This is quickly becoming my go to coin channel.

[@CoinHELPu]

Thank you

[@DrBill-zv5dx]

Excellent job , I enjoy you integrity , honestly, genius, but most of all your information is spot on. Thank you so very much. You’re saved my ass a few times.

[@CoinHELPu]

Thanks and great to hear

[@zatoth13]

I bought some rolled coins on eBay. Some interesting stuff in one. In the other-wheat pennies. A 1943 they advertised so I know this was searched. The first had three Indian head pennies and I figured their value made at least half the cost. The other I felt a bit cheated. But I bought them more for the fun of seeing what’s in them. But I avoid “estate” stuff. A good thing: check eBay feedback and especially any negative feedback. The same complaints will give you an idea what you can expect.

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us ! I've learned so much from you and continue to do so and tell others about your channel. I tries to tell a friend about some of the stuff you've taught us but he wouldn't listen and he got burned by spending alot for so called 'unshearched coins rolls' at $500. a box and of course he found nothing. He's subbed to your channel. I guess better late than never eh? I just found a few Enlish pennys with my metal detector, 'worth anything' prob. not but It sure is fun to find coins and they're worth alot to me (of course not 'money wise') because it's like holding little pieces of history. You wonder how many times those coins passed from hand to hand over the years from the early 1800's, what was bought with them and what could their storys tell. Thank you so much sir ! And God bless.

[@CoinHELPu]

Thank you!

[@williameubank9167]

You do a great job telling the truth about coins. HSN is the worse. I watch I just to see different coins that I may not be familiar with at the time. When they show a coin and the price I immediately go the eBay to see a realistic price for the coin. I just can’t believe HSN or any place would allow someone to knowingly over charge people, especially elderly people and claim it’s a great coin to pass down to you grandchildren. Just plain crooks ! I enjoy your videos and try not to miss any of them. You are truly an honest coin dealer. Thank you.

No one would sell rolls not searched. Who would risk selling an expensive coin? No one

[@jonathonrichards3471]

I use the PCGS App on my phone to check current auctions prices. I've purchased a couple of those 'Estate Lots', got some decent finds out of it (nothing to write home about, of course). But now, I'l check the App before agreeing to any 'sale' price on coins.

[@slicksilver9441]

I do the same thing. I was watching a show the other night and they were selling some pre-33 gold for wayyyy more than the actual value.

[@danacunningham4239]

Thanks for the great clip on marketing of coins.

[@davidstrange2482]

i worked in Retail for years and Wholesale and now as a collector. I see these Huge Retail Coin Dealer's Use all the same Tactic's as a Retail department store's! ( I heard a saying in those Days anyone who has to Push a Product of there's all the time means it's Trash. if it's a great product people will buy it once and keep buying it because it's worth it. but if they buy it once and know it's not worth it? no repeat customer's.? so that company has to spend more and more on marketing almost begging please buy lol) the Picture with the 1922 Peace Dollar i know that ad...Littleton and i sent them Multiple Emails to stop Over Pricing i sent 3 E mail's. i got 2 of the same Message's Back from them. They say the same thing in both. they say Red book is worth less in the real world and that they go by there stock and thats how Dealer's sell. and ALL OF THE DEALER'S ON EBAY SELL EF SILVER CLEAN IT AND SELL IT AS UNC! both time's? and the last Email i Never got a response back.I bought a couple coin ad's from them, of coins that were at price or lower and the coins on demand got sent right back and said send no more. and i like the Coin Albums and Folders THATS ALL I WOULD BUY FROM THEM. BUT BUY THOSE ALBUMS ON EBAY. IT'S CHEAPER AND NO SHIPPING, SLIP COVER'S ARE CHEAPER FROM LITTLETON LOL..... Barns and Noble sells there folder's so you can buy them there! but other than that ( they sent me catalogs by mail I used them as a list every time i bought some thing ( From a local dealer or Ebay) i would check it off! lmao, other than that there price Point is ridiculous) ...I do not think they will Last another Decade! they are the FingerHut of Coin Dealer's! ( BUT when i first started collecting I made a Mistake not thinking a friend gave me some of those State Quarter commemorative Boxes . so i bought some to finish the set i realized they are just unc State. I LOVE QUARTER'S ALL /ANY FOR SOME REASON?? But i got the rest of the gold plated i believe i bought 14 boxes for 70 dollars i realized i made a mistake and some time's the only way to learn is buy getting burned lol) I bought some Sterling from a private sale in 2020! . a little over a pound worth i paid 5 dollars a Coin ( 20 total) and sold them when Silver was over 30+ an ounce and made 300 dollars used that to buy a bunch of proof,mint,silver proof set's for my Albums. was a great deal on my part. but the guy who sold those said he paid a lot and no one would buy them off him he was on his way to the Pawn shop. i said hell i will give you a 100 dollars...and it will save you the Gas money and Time. he then said ok... i felt bad. but i learned a lesson on his Mistake! i stay a way from Horde's and First Strikes . Bullion Shark Calls me twice a month begging me ! It's always buying these Common Date Slabbed American Eagle's . one time it's First strike MS-70, Or some Horde i NEVER HEARD OF? i started to hang up on them? i do not know how they got my number? anyway thanks Dan! Always thought provoking!
