    Excellent info, I even got a silver round album. It's nice because they're easier to look at...and show off. I've heard people bash having your coins in an album. But, they're mine, and I don't plan to sell anytime soon, so why not enjoy them!!! Keep doing what you do👍

    Anyone that seems to know what they’re talking about has told me, when collecting coins focus on typesets, date runs, key dates etc.. the more coins you can pair the more valuable your collection will be.

    • @oldschoolrr6077

      For what it is worth, you might want to rethink about passing your collection down. The reason is, I'm sure the grand majority of your learning was through trial and error, in accumulating your collection. (Like many of us). Pass along your wisdom and what you have learned, but let your grandson start fresh. He would probably be more likely to stick with the hobby. Just something I have learned from others, through the years.

    Another way to increase the value of your coin collection is to be picky and buy quality coins to start with. If you are collecting Morgan dollars, for example, you only buy coins with strong strikes and attractive luster. Paying extra for attractive luster is risky and if it has ugly toning you can hold out for better coins. THEN you look at the marks and decide whether the coin is fairly graded, overgraded, or undergraded. You simply avoid problem coins even if they are offered at a small discount. Obviously if a problem coin is normally worth $100, and you can buy it for $25 and sell it for $75, then do it. But for the coins you want to keep, you don't skimp on quality.

    I'm going to put together a submission and go for ANACs 10 for 107$ thing when they have it going. I have one coin that's a lower grade that I want graded just because it's for my own collection, but I know when getting coins graded, the more coins you send in, the lower amount you pay overall per coin. I have had a few coins put CAC stickers on them so far. I finally got a membership last year. They normally have a membership, they let me in due to me being a veteran. Having served in the military does have its benefits. I even believe I am a better person overall due to my service. Thank you for another great video. These videos are helpful, there's a lady locally who has run one of those places that buys gold and silver, but does some coin stuff too, I have been going there for something to do since they started in 2013, I told her about you channel recently and she subscribed to it.

Littleton website was great, but man, their prices were horrible........they wanted $353 for Lincoln, Washington, Morgan, Peace, Kennedy, Roosevelt, Peace, Jefferson, and Walking Liberty albums.

They were selling for $3 over spot at the time. it has a little milk spot on it, but still looks good.

    Yes, I'm moving from the accumulation stage to the collection stage. Looks to me that coin folders are more basic, albums are for aficionados, cardboard sleeves with binders or trays for serious collectors/traders and encased and/or graded for the true "professional". Although I'm a newbie at numismatics I'm a stickler for organization and appearance, nor do I want to go through progressive stages.
    I'm thinking sleeves in binders, you can see both sides, make notes on the sleeve, and you avoid handling them. Opinion?
    Your approach to this is systematic with no BS. I throughly enjoy your postings, Thanks!

    Some ideas that transfer over to Britain and Europe. Third party grading not so much. My best advice is to become knowledgeable about what you are collecting, do not overpay for your coins, learn to grade, do not buy problem coins if you can help it, keep a record of how much you paid for each coin.

I noticed multiple Ebay sales below this price with free shipping. Sets after 2011 jump in price. Also, 2019 silver sets are 99% silver and calculate at 30 dollars. Still way below, the cost from mint 54.88. Basically, stating some value can be found in early state quarter sets.

Like walking through a museum. They have serious experts in every field. Better than Christie's. I started buying coins from them, and picking the brain of their numismatic expert about medieval coins. He told me they do not auction off slabbed coins.

    Hi Daniel. You may have surmised I'm no fan of PCGS, but I do like the higher prices their slab brings -- deserved or not. This month I put them to the test. On EBay I bought a '91 silver eagle MS70 (ANACS) for $550. PCGS's recommended price is 3500. (in their slab, naturally). The coin arrived today. ANACS touted this coin as worthy of the Smithsonian. Its is! I've never seen a more pristine silver eagle in my life -- and I have dozens of PCGS's MS70 silver eagles to compare it to. Next I'm going to attempt a crossover when I attend the PCGS show in Long Beach soon. It ought to be interesting. I'll let you know what happens. My bet is it will NOT cross because I'm a nobody. I'm not a dealer. I'm not someone who spends thousands on grading fees with PCGS. That should be irrelevant! We'll see.

      @Conrad Pons: Key dates are usually your lower mintage years, but not always.The 1908 S Indian Head penny had a mintage of 1,115,000. The 1909 S Indian Head penny had a mintage of 309,000. The 1877 Indian Head penny had a mintage of 852,500 but is valued higher than the 1909 S Indian. From mintage numbers the 1908 S is the third lowest.

      Coins are of passion and value but we live in scary times. I'm telling you this because I truly believe of scary times ahead. Example, all out war, the US debt at 23 trillion. Go to USdebtclock.org to learn more. Also read Zero Hedge News. Learn more about Gold and Silver at Coinflation.com Great information on Home Page. As of today Silver is the most undervalued asset in the world. Example again, Morgan dollars in MS 65 are $100 give or take. But 4 Morgans in VG or just 5-1 ounce rounds are better value. I love coins but most experts will tell you of a possible Dollar collapse due to our national debt and unfunded debt obligations.. I was given a newsletter in 2003 and it read. Sell all your collector coins and put the money into Gold and silverr. I was glad I did. You must know all the Markets to make money. Understand every thing you can. Go to the Links above. This country is in a lot of trouble financially. The Repo Market is on life support from thee NY Fed. Its 2006 07 08 all over again. Let me add in Virginia the Second Amendment is under attack, Google that because riots could easily break out over this. Crazy times we live in. God Bless

    Love your advice but after 24 years in the business I don't know any dealers including myself that pay more fore a collection because they are in albums. A complete collection is the key point but not worth more to us because they are in albums. Just saying my experience. You hit it on the head though about buying the key dates first and then finish with the commons.

    • @CoinHELPu
      @CoinHELPu  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I missed some points on that. Coins in folders can often have dark toning on the reverse and sometimes it's not the correct mint mark. So I was really shooting for the fact it makes them more valuable not because a dealer would pay more but that I can see both sides of the coins and that is more valuable to me and to other collectors. Other collectors will often pay more for a collection in a Dansco than a Whitman Folder. I didn't say it how I was thinking.

    I at one time was an experienced collector. Could you tell me what grading company is the best for error coins? I am not interested in selling them anytime soon. I watch the videos and really enjoy them.. I am the guy who bought all his coins from guys like Steve Ivy (we nicknamed him the Big Dipper and Professor Wiz) and other guys in Dallas and large coin shows and even some dealers were friends and most of my good stuff is cleaned. In the 70's and 80's all these dealers were cleaning everything and serious collectors knew it but nobody said not to do it till the grading companies killed cleaning coins. Everyone was taking AU sliders cleaning them and calling them UNC or BU.. I really think those were the best times for this hobby. People did not want high end coins that were dirty and tarnished so they cleaned them maybe not the really rare early stuff so much.. I have really nice stuff that I saw the coins before the dealer or I cleaned it. Then they were cleaned and they look stunning and I bought them.
    People never thought this would hurt the coin and its value. I really think if it is done in a correctly it should not hurt the value. Then the grading companies came along and scammed people to think the stuff is trash if it was ever cleaned. Hell I cleaned a a bunch
    of my BU and Proof all key dates of 3 cent silver and 3 cent nickel coins at a dealers table at a huge show in front of lots of people and dealers some big dealers helped me and the coins looked looked stunning. I got tired of the hobby and sold a great deal of stuff and invested in in real estate stock market and other real investments. That was the right move..Hope you are wise enough to also do that now. . Also back then the dealers if you knew them would buy or sell you coins with not much % so the spread was not much.I only think Grading companies are good for is if the coin is genuine. Now they can counterfeit the grading holders that look real so now what do you do. I have seen counterfeit stuff that looks truly amazing. I have seen fake Morgan Dollar key dates in fake NGC and PCGS holders in MS65 and 66 struct on silver planchette with the correct weight that friends have brought back from China. They paid $400 to $500 each for and if they were real they would be worth $15,000 up. They bought them to fill sets or show other collectors and 98% of the coin public and probably more than a few dealers could not tell the difference . I would not put more than 4% of my investments in coins. And If say I had $500,000 I would not put more than $20,000 in coins and not buy anything worth under $2000 a coin. What do the rest of you guys think. Why does this hobby not have women? Leave your comments please.

    • @CoinHELPu
      @CoinHELPu  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      NGC or ANACS on the best company for errors because they're cheaper. You bring up a lot of points. I was around the hobby on the coin dealer side back then.

    A CAC sticker doesn’t mean the coin is appropriately graded or that they somehow agree with the grading. Instead, a CAC sticker indicates the coin is solid in that grade and generally a “good value” for the grade. Generally speaking, it suggests the slabbed coin is at least as good or better than the grade it received. It is considered a “good value” within that grade.
    Green CAC stickers indicate high-end for their grade while gold CAC stickers indicate the coin is definitely undergraded and would at least receive a green CAC sticker in the next higher grade.
    If you have a PCGS or NGC slabbed Coin that you feel is undergraded, send in to CAC and try to get it stickered )assuming the value is there - not worth it on a $20 coin obviously. )

    • @CoinHELPu

    Here's my nickel's worth: (1) Cull the coins without investment value from your collection and reinvest the funds in investment grade coins, (2) have your coins professionally graded preferably by NGC, PCGS, or ANACS, (3) if your collection is particularly valuable, have it insured, and (4) be prepared to hold coins through up- and down-swings in values. Only buy coins that are rare and valuable today. Coins that aren't rare and valuable today will likely not be in 30-years either. Be sure to enjoy your collection too!

At that time i scolded myself asking "what the heck was I thinking". Im not saying a collection should only have big ticket stuff, but i myself try my best to stay focused, be patient, educate myself, buy when the good deal presents itself and do my best to go after quality rather than quantity, I still have my moments of weakness and occasional bonehead moves, but far less often than in years past.

      "You can also seek out the opinion of vendors at local flea markets and antiques shows who sell similar items, or find an established antiques shop with a good reputation. But never rely solely on an appraisal from someone who wants to buy your item -- he or she could lowball the price to get you to sell the item for a song."

    buying coins from a dealer is not going to increase hte value of your "collection" as you are paying above market or full MSRP for the coin. Gerading of coins only started when these agencies started a grading thing.. If you are just now getting into coin collecting I would not.. Only thing you can do is get rolls of uncirculated coins and sit on them.. For years.. which atleast you would only be in the coins for their face value. I have some rolls of uncirculated 62's pennies I got from someone who was a manager at a bank and knew they existed. When I was young I got a few uncirculated rolls of current years back in the late 70's I also kep any and every half and full dollar I found. Went through coin collection of a friend who was kinda out of it and got a few coins. All it is now is like collecting sports cards.. Its just like the fools who collect hotwheels. it is just silly.
