Wow, Archie Bunker is packing heat! Constitutional carry to protect his constitutional silver. Gotta luv dat guy.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know a method to get back into an instagram account?
I somehow lost the login password. I appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Jadiel Spencer instablaster ;)
@Salvador Rhett thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im in the hacking process atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Salvador Rhett it worked and I now got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account !
Knows his coins, packs heat, lives in crazy ol' Florida. Respect.
I know this guy is originally from North Jersey or NYC.
@@Elon_Trump no way, that accent is pure Floridia lol
nothing crazy about Florida- it's the fake media, they're still mad about algore losing here. and don't forget most of the people who live moved here from the Northeast
@@Mike1614b Thats what a Floridaman would say!
@@1000ydshot You better watch that language or I'ma sick my alligators on ya.
Could listen to this guy all day, wealth of knowledge.
Very humble and wise man, a combination you don’t see often these days
"You gotta prove to yourself that what your buying is real " . As a new collector this information is literally priceless.
A new coin collector just doesn’t have a chance if buying a coin unless it’s from a reputable dealer. Wow, thanks for the information!
No doubt, no more raws for me from eBay, lol.
Or pawn shops. At least not in my neck of the woods.
I could listen to him go coin by coin all day. Mad respect for Mr Guy.
I never realized that counterfeits are so prevalent in the real world. Thanks for the education fella too.
Must be a tough time to make any money in today's environment. Good luck in your business Coin Guy.
We need more of these honest coin dealers like him. Wish he was here in Cleveland Ohio, he’d definitely get all of my business knowing that he’s very fair and legit.
He's fake stack is worth more than my real stack hahah
Great vid
Lmao!! Probably mine to.
I see he has his customer complaints department mounted on his hip.
There is a extra space between mounted and on
@@owenh2395 There's a missing "n" before the word "extra" and a missing period after "on."
Doesn't everyone carry??
@@thegreatbutterfly: Are you saying it's a counterfeit comment? LOL!
I've had private party sellers & a couple LCS give me a hard time because I authenticate everything including 90%. Their reaction is always "Why would you check that? No one would fake that.". This video proves why you should check everything. Told to you straight from a veteran coin dealer.
I wish The Coin Guy was in my hood!
It is refreshing to see an honest gun-loving coin dealer.
Not sure where you live but almost all big city have a few dealers who honesty. Google coin dealer there love to talk and more off you go in with you stack of $100 the more you learn.
Makes you question ones’ whole collection
If they stick to a magnet its fake...some fakes don't stick..
The best thing he said was,history is important to everything,that was really cool. Everyone says to always buy from reputable dealers, but they can get fooled too.Knowing history and having the tools is important.I believe ancients only get a genuine grade,not numeric.There was a lesser known TPG'er,PCI, that was involved in a counterfeiting ring around 2015.Did you see the link I sent about the 64 Peace dollar? He had more fake coins than anyone I've ever seen.
It looks like you took my advice. More coin guy. Yay.
Experience is always fun to listen too
Please learn the difference between 'to', 'too', and 'two' so that you don't come off sounding like an ignorant moron. Thank you, that is all.
Nice way of putting that. I have no idea why Big Winna would make such a derogatory remark about your comment.
Thank you. What would I TOOO without you😂 Moron out. I do hope you relax and have fun on this platform though.
@@Snowzeus some people let pride allow them to think they are better then others and don’t know how to be humble and accept that people are not always right. As long as the message gets across loud and clear who really cares? Besides the grammar police ofcourse.
This is one of the most educational and entertaining videos I have seen in a very, very long time and I have been collecting coins since 1974.
Not all hero’s wear capes. Thank you kind sir
It would be fun to use a few silver or gold ones for poker chips, but that's all. I hope more coin shops will continue to protect us from a flood of fake coins. Thank you for this video, this will help all of us make smarter decisions in the future.
Reeded edges first appeared on U.S. coinage in the 1790s on half dimes, dimes and quarters struck in at least 89% silver, and on $2.50 gold quarter eagles, $5 gold half eagles and $10 gold eagles minted in at least 89% gold.
It’s like the ads that say “1 oz silver dollar for $9.95”. Sad people fall for that crap.
I have an Irish farthing that someone filed down and silver soldered to make it look like a silver threepenny bit. Now to you that may be of no value, but to me it’s priceless. Whenever I feel a bit poor, I hold it and think of the poor sod that spent all the time to do that. Gees were times hard or what!
This guy is a treasure trove of knowledge.
The story I heard about the 1964 Peace Dollar, and I can't remember where I heard it is that the government recalled all the coins. Of course not all of them had been turned in, but the stipulation that they have on the coins is that if they turn up in circulation that they are to be considered stolen from the government. The department of the treasury or the secret service (I'm not sure which is in charge of currency) has jurisdiction. I wouldn't want to be in trouble with either of those agencies.
PCGS offered a big reward just to get to hold a legit one.
@@Spegtacular No such thing as a legit one. They are all stolen. If PCGS admits that they have one, the government will confiscate it. Possessing one of these coins is the same as possessing a stolen car or stolen motorcycle.
I just ran across some "ASEs" listed on eBay (from a Chinese 🇨🇳 seller) for about $14. The experience rating is in the *DOUBLE DIGITS!*
I would love to see him go over modern fakes and how to detect them.
There are such things as legitimately produced replicas. For instance, in the late nineteenth century the British museum sold copies of rare ancient coins, such as the Syracuse Dekadrachm. It allowed collectors to at least have a copy of a coin they could never hope to afford..
Even today some of these replicas have value, with some fetching up to a thousand dollars. ...
Man this coin shop owner is so awesome he's the type that you could talk with for hours he's seems really pleasant and down to earth👍
I don't collect coins, but I will go through pocket change just for fun. I've got a few coins worth a "little" more than face value, *_very little_* - lol. I've watched a lot of videos about "How to spot a rare coin", but this is the first video I've seen on how to spot a counterfeit coin. This is very interesting, and something every collector needs to see. And the coin guy needs to write a book.
Love the guys Trump hat on the back shelf! Badass
fun and incredible video, lots to learn. thanks!
I love that “Fancy” was spelled “Fantsy” on the one coin. Good info and some laughs.
Enjoy getting to watch Speg Tacular and coin guy. Silver is tanking today great day.
I cant help rewatching all of the videos with Coin Guy in them, theyre just so good.
Thank you!
Hey Speg. I recently started collecting and stacking silver and been building a commerative half set and found at my local shop antique store a beautiful colombian exposition half. I appreciate the wisdom you put out combined with Guy it's helped me alot on my new journey!
Now I'm nervous about buying coins.....
Do a lot of reseach :) trust your gut :)
Love watching this coin guy, so informed and honest! Would love to spend the day with him!❤
The Coin Guy is a Genuine Card Carrying Archie Bunker Imposter... He was funny to listen to... He'd be my GO-TO-Guy if I had any coins to move... When I have coins, I make something with leather or Wood & attach the coins..
Is it weird that I want to purchase his entire collection of counterfeits just to have? Good counterfeits really amaze me, almost as much as the real deal!
Information overload. Love to watch coin guy. Great vid speg. Cheers from Plymouth England.
So many other industries should start using the certification technology. All the high end fashion companies to Nike shoes could wipe out the counterfit market with that.
As long as there are fools with money, there will be counterfeits.
The year without a summer was 1816, not 1815. The Shelley's were in Geneva in June of 1816.
Coin Guy is good. He is honest and well knowledged. appreciate his going over the counterfeits. Will probably save me some money in the future
I love this dude, how could anyone dislike ?!
The counterfeiters maybe?
Great video, Spegtacular! It's one of the best I have seen yet. It shows that even the best of them still get scammed. I got my first counterfeit over two months ago at the flea market I go to. I bought what was supposed to be a Mexican 1882 8 Reales from a guy for about $15. As soon as my coin dealer in the same flea market pulled his magnet out, the coin stuck like glue. All the other silver I bought from the guy was real, including a 2006 Silver Panda, so maybe, just maybe, he honestly didn't know about that one. One may say that I'm out $15. But, what I done was buy myself a teaching tool to show others for much cheaper than a school teacher pays for theirs.
Wish we had someone like you Guys here in Somerset Kentucky . I have to drive over 70 miles one way and have to make appointments just to get a coin or a round .
Love listening to the Coin Guy.
I am glad the Coin Guy is talking about counterfeiting in this video specifically if there is no date and he has a lot courage telling people especially in a flea market setting.
The Royal Canadian Mint did a pilot project they called "DNA" where every quarter minted was passed through a scanning machine. The computers created a separate file for each coin. We tried to fake out the machine by tossing coins that were already scanned. The system identified the coins correctly by pulling up the file specific to the coins that had been already scanned. Even told us the date they were scanned, and and the original operator's name.
This guy is great! man knows his trade..Excellent video!
I will continue to purchase from him great,bless him!
Wow! Eye opener!!!! Very knowledgeable!! Thanks for sharing!
Could watch this adorable guy forever
Entertaining and informative, as always! Kinda scary that someone like him with so much knowledge, experience, and tools can still get taken by a fake.
Excellent. Taught me a lesson. Buyer beware. I know so little. So much to learn. Kinda scared to buy another coin in the street. Thanks for the lesson.
I bought a large lot of Indian head 2 1/2 and 5's that were about 60% fakes luckily they were real gold and I didn't spend more than spot
30 years ago I worked in a teller line for a couple of years. It was a great place to find old coins and bills. Every couple of weeks a family would come in and deposit a large jar or bottle of coins that they had inherited from a deceased relative. I would leave a signed blank check in the counting room, and when they ran one of those jars, and rolled it, the girl in the commercial room would just fill in the amount of the coins on the check, and give me all the rolled coin in a sack. I would spend that evening unrolling those coins and inventorying the silver, the buffs, cents, et al. And then there was the bills. So many Silver certificates, U.S. notes, and even once, a $100.00 gold certificate. Collecting is still fun, but not as much as it was back then.
amazing that he is trying to explain to someone that she is selling fakes and she screams at him. he is giving her free education and her reply to that is to raise her voice. amazing
Way back in the 80s I was really into coins. Weekly trips with the folks to various flea markets around central FL (dad was stationed at MacDill AFB in Tampa) netted my 99% complete books of Liberty dimes, Buffalo nickles, Lincoln pennies, Indian head pennies. Didn't know then what a key date was, other than certain ones were harder to get, like the 1916-D Liberty which I finally found in a loose change jug at a flea market in TX in 91. It was badly worn but the features were still legible. It was the only rare coin I ever bought before selling off what I did have. Just cause I had hunted that one particular coin for so long, anytime I see one in really nice condition, my BS meter goes into overdrive, regardless if it's authentic or not.
I wonder what the story is with the 1990 zinc & aluminum cent to the left of the 1944 steel cent at 11:52. Is that based on a real thing that the mint made?
I bought 9 silver Washington quarters and 2 regular silver rosevalt dimes and 2 proof mint state 90% dimes for 28 dollars on Friday at the pawn shop and In the 9 silver quarters I found what might be a 1944 silver quarter DDO and a 1942 S over D I have 2 pawnshops in my area in Maryland that don't check for errors
If they are real, you made a great find.
I’m planning on visiting coin guy this spring break!!
Thank you. I need a friend like you, both.
This is why I stick to what I know! you got be expert on this crap.
Love his stories. Always very interesting.
There's something about your intro music that brings me back to when I was a kid. Like a Saturday morning nickelodeon cartoon or PBS special on tv type of feeling
Me too. That’s why I’ve kept it in spite of some of the hate people give me about them ;)
Coin Guy is awesome and the education he gives is priceless
thank you for this lesson. I worked at a coin shop for 12 years and had fake coins come in. Like you said when the coins are rare dates, often in lower grades, be suspicious of China fakes, weigh them, inspect the rims, for casting marks.
This always makes me wonder what if a handful of coins were minted before the fire began or sometime after just a small batch so no one ever really had record of it...and so a real copy sits inside someone fake book...lol I just always wonder because in modern time we have seen errors where say a coin is produced on the wrong planchet....so cant it be possible a proof is accidentally made or a coin from another year...or a handful of lost coins people lost record of production due to a fire...Id love to research more into it as I have not yet
Man I learned a lot from this video spectacular mr guy is a real coin dealer an honest one at that keep the videos coming
Great video. Thank you and thanks coin guy
Very interesting. I didn’t realize so many coins were counterfeit. I collected coins way back in the late 50’s. It was all stuff I found in my change. Never found anything of much value but had fun doing it.
Loved this video. Wish I had a guy like him I’m my local area I can talk to like this
Pretty intriguing. Good show.
The U.S. had reeded edges even in the 1795 Flowing Hair series, like the half dime
Great video, great education as well.
Thank you
Really good "fakes" can be made by simply producing more copies off book at the same factory that made the authenticate items. Workers run the machines with left over material and produce a few copies for their own channels. Obviously doesn't work for coins stamped at the mint, but could for plastic coin slabs?
I love these videos so informative coin guy is the best thank you.👌
Coin guy knows everything.
They are getting so good at counterfeiting it is getting extremely difficult for us to find the. A novice can can just forget rinsing them. Especially when the actually DO make the silver and Gold fakes WITH silver and gold.
Amazing fountain of knowledge from this Gentleman
love the Coin Guy!
Always a good chat with Coin Guy & Speg. Thank you.
Hey my dad found a gold coin in a old house we lived in. It was the wall. The house was build in the 1920’s. Idk if some one would fake a coin and put it in a wall.
It makes me so happy when i see a new Coin Guy video up.. thanks guys :)
It's nice waking up early on saturday when i have the tv to myself and seeing a new video with you and coin guy. It amazes me how people can be so shady and lie to your face and take your money for something they know is fake. They obviously don't care that you could have worked you rear off to come up with that money. Just so long as that money ends up in there pocket. Thanks for another great video! I always like watching the interviews with you 2.
I remember reading about Mary Shelly writing Frankenstein because of the "Year without a Summer" when I was in school but had forgotten about it. Cool. Just goes to show how much of an effect a really powerful Volcanic Eruption can have on the planet.
It is always awesome to see Coin Guy.
As I have said before ,I try and collect American coins but even here in Australia there are so many US fakes ,Governments should do more .Thanks coin Guy.
THEDRAGONBOOSTER8....I live here in the U.S. and it seems to me that your Australian government is too busy taking away your guns and your freedom of speech to do anything about the coins. You might as well ask a thief to protect your home while you are gone on vacation.
@@marbleman52You are spot on .Thanks for understanding. Cheers.
@@marbleman52 and australia is basically owned by China now. I saw a video of Chinese flags being flown at an Australian police department...
Good content. Very helpful to me as I'm going through dad's silver collection. Pete in Palm Beach
More coin guy!!! Love These videos. Guy is a wealth of knowledge. More!!!
I like the 6 shooter. no jams and plenty of power with a fecal factor.

I can tell a fake bar if it's in my hands, but coins... you have to know your stuff!
LOVE SPEG AND COIN GUY.. GREAT TEAM.
He's got nicer fakes than my real collection, hahaha! Great video, thanks for sharing your information.
Thanks for watching, Pepe!
