Level Up: I Bought A $400 Grab Bag of Rare Coins Off Of Instagram

[@tw-squared1196]

Too cool. I love the errors and the Shipwreck Recovery Coins! Thanks, Christian for another great video in the Grab Bag series. 👍

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Was a really fun hunt!

[@jimthompson9992]

Just discovered your channel and now I'm a subscriber...great video!! This looks like a fantastic haul! Love seeing coins that you don't see every day and even more fun that they're errors! I'm a history fan and that's the reason I started being interested in this country's coinage. Looking forward to more videos!👍🇺🇸

[@christianhartch3108]

Thank you very much! Same in terms of the history background... one of the main reasons I enjoy it (just seeing I am writing from my personal acct)

[@TimeTravelersCoinExchange]

Fun seeing so many varieties in one place. Thanks for the video.

[@NumisCanadawithBruce]

That was a spectacular grab box. I love the el Cazador coins I have a 1/2 Real, 1 Real, 2 Real and 8 Real Silver coins authenticated by NGC along with a screened print of the el Cazador ship. It's all hanging in my living room. All the old error coins you received were also spectacular. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome grab bag and video. I never bought an grab bag this awesome. This is how grab bags are supposed to be.

Hi, Christian, I collect mostly IHCs, so I'm familiar with the Snow 9 designation. Richard Snow is quite an expert on Flying Eagle and Indian Head Cents (Eagle Eye Rare Coins). He's literally written the book on FE and IHC errors. From his book on 1856-1858 Flying Eagle varieties, on page 55: "It is 1857, and a coining press has been used recently to strike Liberty Seated 50c pieces. A 50c obverse die is in the hammer position and a 50c reverse die is in the anvil position. It is desired to strike Flying Eagle 1c pieces using this press... The 50c reverse die in the anvil position is removed and replaced with a 1c Flying Eagle obverse die. With the newly-fitted 1c obverse die in place in the anvil, opposite the 50c obverse still in the hammer position, the press is run through a cycle, and the 50c obverse die in the hammer position strikes the 1c obverse die in the anvil position. Clash marks appear on both obverse dies." Clash marks appear above each wing, above the eagle's head, through "ERICA" and below the tail feathers. Richard says 100 of these errors had been reported (as of the 2001 printing of his book).

[@christianhartch3108]

Thank you so much for this explanation!! I really enjoy owning the coin... often I resell items in grab bags, but kept most of this one for myself since there were some neat finds.

[@jeffw1267]

Just because the catalog value is over $400 doesn't mean you should pay more than that. Some of that stuff will be tough to sell at catalog price. That's why you'll see dealers at coin shows with a hundred 1971 proof sets. You have to discount those items if you want to sell them quickly. For varieties and repunched dates, you have to find the right buyer to get the price you want and that could take years. The point is, I'm not seeing MS CC dollars and MS early Indian cents in that lot (coins that you can hope to sell quickly and get catalog price for).

[@johnjacobs1625]

Nice Job Christian. Wish you would have scope the Flying Eagle. Regards. JJ

[@harryscoinsvillage786]

GREAT I LOVE GRAB BAG COINS THANKS CHRISTIAN😁🙏❤🇺🇲🗽👍

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Glad you enjoyed Harry!!

[@andrewsnow2605]

He probably made it good because it was going to get reviewed

[@joshrobertson8189]

I'm sorry but if I need a microscope to see the "error" then it's not an error in my book.

[@josevarjas8263]

So much I need to learn.

[@daver8521]

The "shipwreck" coins aren't that valuable. I would not have paid $400 for this lot, but I'm not into error coins. To each his own!

[@j4y_37_____3]

He paid 400 for eveything

[@TheZigzach]

I don't get the error coin or double die thing, unless it's a big obvious error then it's pretty cool. But some little little line you can barely see I don't see the big deal

[@TheZigzach]

@@j4y_37_____3 he knows daver said "lot"

[@Michel-7.7.7]

What is the deal with repunched mintmarks? Isn't the strike process done with 1 die, with the whole coin face on it? Are there separate date, mark, head and lettering dies?

[@Mr.Isquierdo]

I love errors. I learn alot about the minting process through them

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Definitely.

[@b.anonymous8120]

Great grab bag ... thanks for sharing.

[@Wi-Fi-El]

I like error coins and shipwreck coins, but I don't actually have any shipwreck coins in my collection yet. I plan to buy some Spanish silver with pirate connections soon

[@David_Quinn1995]

crazy box you had there.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thanks!

[@ehrenkrause9861]

I'm really surprised you don't have a coin scope

[@NefariousEnough]

Very entertaining!! Thanks.

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ImTheLetterP]

6:46 I guess that's historically accurate 😳 Edit: Kennedy joke

[@ladida1031]

I like off Center Error Coins. In Germany it is almost impossible to get a Standing Liberty in Good Condition. That Flips me off and Freaks :D me Out!

[@theneighborlynumismatist8201]

Wouldn’t it be nice if off center ancients went for just as much as these hahaha

[@yemengoto4905]

Exciting grab box!

[@davebeveridge3314]

Take more of the close up pictures of the errors

[@readyvideos]

great nice findings!!!

[@dennisjamieson3328]

Learned about more errors then I remembered

[@janiel747]

Wow!!! Just wow!

[@chriscourson2824]

I love you grab bag videos!

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thank you!

[@bullionaddict9164]

Great Haul 👍

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thank you!

[@surfersurfer8824]

~~WAVES~~ AWESOME HAUL!!!

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thank you 😁

[@TheZigzach]

I don't understand error coins that you can barely tell that there was a mistake.

[@coloradocoinhunter6475]

Wow 😳 nice coins bro 👍

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Thanks 👍

[@MidnightSniper402]

I just got into the coin collecting hobby and have a small amount of cool coins. It would be amazing if you made me a coin grab bag with stuff to help boost my coin collecting considering it’s going very slow

[@gregorymccoy2842]

If he doesn't I have a lot of errors and varieties if you would like to see pics.

[@secondrule]

Why is the seller not offering grab bags to the public? I would love to get some random stuff and see what i get.

[@SmouseHouseHobbies]

Awesome grab bad

[@yeetyeet4213]

he called the 1864 indian head cent a 1964 one

[@RobertBallMagician]

sweet🤜🤛😊😊

[@joshuagrunnells8498]

Pretty sweet knowledge bro🦾

[@jamesc.guillory2604]

1864 not 1964 !

[@janiskar7892]

Likes👍👍👍👍👍

[@theblake5356]

Why on earth would you do that….?

[@TreasureTownCoins]

Important to keep up relationships!

[@Rob-ur4ft]

Too much mumbling for me to listen to!
