I completely agreed. The hobby is becoming less and less accessible. A bunch of angry old men!
Very true!
It is accessible. Go to reddit. Check out the pages r/silverbugs and r/coins theres a great community of people and a plethora of information, access to finding at and below spot deals. If you haven't visited, check us out. There's even buy/sell/trade pages available at r/pmsforsale r/coinsforsale and others.
Hi Jigre,
You are right. The online community is very friendly for the most part. In person, at shops and shows I think it depends on the dealer. Price wise a lot of higher grade pieces have become inaccessible to the average collector. Thanks for watching and contributing.

Any hobby is worth doing if you enjoy it .it's not always about making money....it's therapeutic and fun...
Hi Marlene,
It’s great to hear from you again. I completely agree. Hobbies should be pursued for their intrinsic value. Look forward to hearing from you in the next one.
Best regards,
ACI
Agree
I’m one of those 50 something yr old collectors, although I am new to the hobby. And I so appreciate these videos you younger collectors provide. I’ve learned so much from you all. It’s a shame they treated you like that because your input on shows or expertise on coins is so so helpful! I’m from a small rural community and two hours away from any type of rare coin show and two hours away from a L& C. So a coin show vid would have been greatly appreciated. Sounds like it was their loss but don’t let them get you down. Keep searching we enjoy the videos! And they seriously very helpful. Thank you.
Hi Terri,
Thanks for watching. It’s great that you are getting into the hobby! Age should not be a factor. Unfortunately, I don’t think much is being done to reach younger or new collectors in a relatable way. It’s a shame I was not able to share the show with you guys. I will keep on trying! I am very glad you are enjoying the content and getting some helpful information out of it. I look forward to hearing more. Please feel free to reach out with any questions as well.

@@graywolf3584 what is a1909 penny worth
I use to help a Coin and Stamp Co. in the 70's, with set up and packing at coin shows. Unfortunately, the same attitude you experienced, was just as bad back then, among a good portion of the dealers at these shows. Probably the most knowledgeable coin dealer and author in the U.S., Q. David Bowers, use to warn dealers that they needed to encourage and teach the younger generation on Coin Collecting, if they expected the hobby to grow. Sadly, for the most part, it fell on deaf ears.
The hobby is certainly smaller than back in the 70's, but the younger aged collectors are more inclined to work the internet it seems, in their collecting, rather then going to shows.
Well, if they didn't want any cameras it should have been in your material you received and posted clearly at the event. So, this is an oversight by ILNA Illinois Numismatic Association Coin & Currency Show. If not given this information to those attending then I don't know what their problem is.... Maybe send your video to them and inquire.
Hi Tocimah,
Thank you for watching. It was not posted anywhere nor was it in any materials that I saw. I went to them to inquire about the camera since the dealers started complaining right away. The whole thing was very strange. If I was a dealer I would want any free plugs that I could get. I was not filming any people, only the coins and banknotes. Regardless, I will not be returning to this particular show or to any events run by the ILNA. Thanks again for your input. Please consider subscribing if you have not already.

Why the hell would they not want to share ? I am a coin collector since I was a child . I can’t believe no younger people are interested .... I’m 54 and also collect old bottles I have dug or bought . I would love to share my stuff .... I wish the younger generations was interested in coin,bottles & antiques ....
Hi Karen,
I too am interested in many different kind of antiques. I guess some people just never learned to share! Hopefully we can help turn this hobby around! Thank you for watching. Please consider subscribing if you have not already. I would love to hear more from you.

That's sad that you were treated like that.
Hi Josh,
Thanks for watching. They definitely lost my business. The sadder part is had I been a new collector and had been treated that way, I don’t think I would be returning to any coin shows. I think the shows need to be completely revamped.

ACI
I was going to go to this show, but was unfortunately unable to. It's so upsetting you were treated like that. If I was a dealer, I wouldn't mind if someone had and was using a camera. I don't know why it would be a risk to safety. I know being young a lot of dealers don't treat me very well. Some dealers do, and those are the ones I buy from. I can't stand the dealers that stand over me, say absolutely nothing, and make me very uncomfortable.
Hey IC Coins,
Great to hear from you again. I was not very persuaded by their “loss prevention” arguments either. They really could not explain to me what filming at the show had to do with stealing. They certainly treated me like a thief even after I completely stopped filming after they expressed their concerns. As you can see from the video I probably got 5 seconds of footage from inside the show. After that I completely stopped and was even going to take my camera back to the car. I had a lot of money with me and was ready to buy. I even showed my envelop full of cash to the elderly man (one of the show’s organizers) when he came out to try to fight me. The whole thing was surreal. Needless to say I will not be returning to this show ever again. Hopefully this kind of thing does not happen again. Thanks for watching.

ACI
Currency World I'm guessing they just wanted an excuse to not let you film. If they didn't want people filming, they could have just put signs up that said so, but not tell you a bad excuse. Because of how you were related, I'm probably not going to be going to that show next year either.
It's unfortunate that those old geezers kicked you out of their show. However grumpy old men aren't the only reason the hobby is dying. The lack of interest from young people is another factor. As a millennial, I know. Millennials dislike history. Ask any kid, and they'll tell you history is their least favorite subject in school. Young people tearing down old statues because of PC shows their disrespect of history. To appreciate numismatics, you must love history. In this modern age, digital currency and Google Wallet are the latest fads. The masses are forgetting that gold and silver was money. Yes, some millennials lack disposable income. However the ones that have money spend it on crap. The average millennial's idea of "value" are iPhones, Starbucks, weed, and overpriced sneakers. My peers are puzzled why I invest money in coin collecting. I've seen people ridicule others for being coin collectors. The mainstream view is that coin collectors are elderly or nerds. People who stack silver bullion are viewed as tinfoil hats or antisocial hermits.
Hi MrMonkeySwag96,
Thanks for watching. I agree with you. As I stated in the video, a lot of it is innate and has to do with changing interests. It may also be something millennials grow to appreciate in time. I believe we can help make a difference online and in our communities. I appreciate your insights. Please consider subscribing if you have not already. I look forward to hearing more from you.

I'm already subbed to you. That's how I came across your video. A better question would be are you subbed to me?
I did not realize you had a coin channel. Looks like great stuff. I subscribed!
Monkey you already know you and I have VERY similar interests when it comes to numismatics and I couldn't agree with your post more! I too am a (that M word and hate to say I am) because I think like you and could give a S**t about what cars, phones, netflix subscription, and wireless earphones I have! I love learning about history and moreover enjoy coins for their art and collectible factor. Nice post!
I believe coins themselves will disappear as a form of transaction in time. Once that happens, coins will go the way of stamps.
I think that will only be the case for modern circulation coins. The ancient coin market will likely do well
I totally agree with you, but I feel we shouldn't let people bring us down. I've definitely came across older people like the ones you describe, but I never let there bad attitude get to me. I love the hobby and will continue it for a very long time. I believe a big part of it has to do with selfishness and greed and also a bit of pride. some people just don't like to see others prosper especially when it comes to sharing information that is why they choose not to disclose it or they beat around the bush.
Hi Joe,
Thanks for watching. These people definitely did not bring me down, but I am afraid their attitudes will dissuade any new collectors. Hopefully we can help turn things around in the hobby. If you have not already, please consider subscribing. I look forward to hearing more of your thoughts and feedback.

Jealousy will rot your gut! So let them rot!
My favorite coin, currency, and collectible channel by far. I really like your series on the most valuable US coins. I’m looking forward to seeing more top 10 valuable penny, nickel, dime, quarter, half-dollar, and silver dollar videos in the future. It’s great to see that you are revitalizing the hobby!
I think the main reason for the declining of this hobby is that younger generations don't use cash at all, and it is hard to like something you don't use, the coin collecting hobby begins when you review your change to see if you have something interesting, then you can specialize in ancient, foreign, silver, gold, medals, etc
Yea man I agree and it was also TH-cam videos that got me into the hobby
Hi Ridge,
Great to hear from you again! I’m glad you’re in the hobby. The hobby needs more people from your generation. Hopefully, the online community can pick up the slack in places where traditional coin hobby outlets have been dropping the ball.

Hi Adrian I had coin like that 1941
A lot of hobbies are dying. I also am a long-time toy soldier collector, and that is a major concern for those collectors as well. Same with sportscards. Cost is only one factor. Could coin collecting also be dropping from the heavy use of plastic? What you touched on is also big - everyone looking to make a buck - greed. More capitalism than collectors.
Thank you ser, keep going I’m with you all the way!!!
Hi Coronado,
Thank you, I really appreciate the support! Rest assured I will continue making videos, and I will try again at another show. I hope you continue to enjoy the content. Subscribers like you are the reason I make these videos.

I am a 51 years old Italian
two days ago I saw a box full of coins in a flea market
I saw some big coins with
Eisenhower and Kennedy
the salesman offered me the box for 20 € and I bought it
there were some silver coins inside I think worth 50 €
so I discovered the pleasure of numismatica it is a very nice hobby!
No Bitcoin, no interest! (and yes, that was a joke)
But truly, the basic precious metals markets have been quiet for almost a decade and that explains part of it (the lack of interest) right there. We'll know more about the hobby when the PM's start back up someday. Perhaps another year from now. Be patient.
Everything you said is true, though... but it's worth waiting to see how it all plays out. Given the demographics there's bound to be less interest... but it ain't over by any stretch. These younger people will inherit a great deal of real estate wealth -- what will they do with it I wonder?
As we say in the business (I was a Wall Street trader for 36 years) ... "markets make opinions". It's another way of saying that rising prices will make investors more bullish. So there you have it -- the one good thing about "old money" (like coins) is that old money is often "real money" which goes UP over time (because the dollar goes down) and that's what will keep the so-called hobby alive.
In other words, I believe what will save the hobby is self-preservation. The younger people are not stupid... once they figure out the real value of paper money they might come into this market in a big way. At least there's a good chance of it...
All the best,
`Mr. B
Hi Bruce,
Thanks very much for your thoughtful insights. I agree very much with most of what you said. In my opinion precious metals are still over valued and over bought if you look at historic trends. I think a lot of it had to do over-speculation by amateur investors in gold and silver during the early 2000s perhaps you are right and there will be another rush if the stock market starts nose diving again. Please consider subscribing if you have not already. I would be happy to hear more of your thoughts.

Awesome videos always informative and always great to learn about different coins, currencies, and banknotes. I especially enjoy your top 10 and top 15 most valuable coins video. Please do more content on U.S. coins!
I totally agree..iv been looking at coins since summer of 1995..found 3 badly double dies n a roll of new pennies..my daughter carried it to a coin collector n akron ohio n he gave her $5.00 said that was all it was worth..I really want my family n2 this hobby but they say it's not worth the trouble caz there's no money n it..I also think it's only for people that has money..wen it start 2 gets quiet they will come out with something stupid like small dates n stupid lookn doubled this n that just to keep the coin thing alive...by that time u put wat u looked at back n circulation....so it may well b it's not as popular anymore..also I'm tired of the coin gotta have a super high grade..who wants sissy coins that haven't been through the mill...its fun to see a old coin that people worked hard for n touched ..maybe even a president..hopefully the coin hobby pick up a whole lot more....
Hi Lecartier,
Thanks for watching. I agree with you having high grade old coins is nice, but I also prefer the look of coins that look their age. I also prefer the historical significant and design of the coins over their condition or rarity. Thanks for your input. Please consider subscribing if you have not already. I look forward to hearing more from you.

Wow, you obviously don't get how detrimental this hobby is to not just the USA, but our whole world as one place for numismatists all over. It will always be number #1 collectables in history.
I agree with you that younger people are not interested in collecting like the older generation. I have been a collector all of my life and see collectors over 60 years old and very few younger people. I think that coin collecting will go away like stamp collecting and other collecting hobbies. You have to remember that coin collecting is only a hobby and not a way to earn a living. I tried to interest my sons in collecting and they have no interest in collecting anything.
I’m currently 11, and love coin roll hunting, I would hate to see this hobby die
Interesting observation. I think you're right in that the hobby of coin collecting could be dying simply because the collectors involved in the hobby have no desire or means to bring young people into it. Let me address a few of these "means." When I started collecting coins as a kid in the 1960s (yes, I'm an older guy) silver was still in circulation and even the older coins such as the "wheat penny," the "steel penny" the Buffalo Nickel, the Mercury Dime, and the occasional Indian Head Cent could be found in circulation. Accumulating a nice collection of these coins then could be done with very small cost. These sought after coins kept the hobby going. Another thing that kept the hobby active at this time was not only chasing these aforementioned coins, but also visiting the local hobby shop or coin store. At that time, almost any town of any size (even some department stores) either had a coin store or department store where coins and supplies were sold. These kept the interest of coin collecting popular. Nevertheless, there has to be more to the decline in coin collecting than simply not having hobby stores or coin stores. Today, it is actually easier to buy coins and supplies through venues like eBay, Amazon or other online coin stores. I think some have alluded as to why the decline of the hobby. That something is history. In collecting coins one automatically should have a desire to learn about the history when the coin was minted. Since the younger generation doesn't really like or enjoy history, the coin collecting hobby will only become less popular.
Please don't say that! Im getting my family into the hobby and I'm decently young
Hi G,
Great to hear from you again. It’s awesome to hear you are getting your family into the hobby. It’s up to us to change the trajectory of the hobby and I believe it can be done!

Yes, fewer people collect coins, but keep it up with this videos, more people will start to collect coins, i am myself over 50 and would love it to share some of my collectors items and stuff for sale
Hi. Thanks for making this video. I am a newbie debating whether if I should pursue coin collecting. After a few days looking at coins and researching banks for crh I was ready to take the plunge. Then I read coin collecting is a dying hobby and now I saw this video. You made me step away and think about if I should put my time and hard earned money into this hobby.
Hi Ernie,
Thanks for watching. I would say that you should definitely take the plunge if it is something you enjoy. The right kind of high end coins will always hold their value in my opinion, even if the hobby as a whole is in decline. The same can be said of baseball cards for instance. The super desirable high end cards still fetch crazy numbers at auction, despite interest in the hobby in general slowing down. However, aside from all of that you should collect what you enjoy. It is not necessarily about investing or turning a profit, if that were the case, then there are much better ways to invest your money outside of collectibles. I hope that helps. Please consider subscribing if you have not already.

I am sorry this happened to you. A couple of points, I have been a collector since 1967 and at least from my standpoint ,coin collecting has always been a hobby for the older crowd. Let's face it, most people are in their 50's or more before they can afford to collect of invest in coins. No offense. I believe that the hobby is changing for the reason's you indicated, but I also believe it will survive because some of the younger people today will get into it when they are older. No question we are in a slump right now. You have only to check coin price trends to see that. Prices are down on lots of coins, but I believe that is cyclical and will correct in the next few years. Just my two cents worth. New Sub here ! Thanks for sharing!! 😄
no much different than cars. young people start small and work their way up. you can have a few coins and be a collector.
nice watch. why is the type of watch so expensive
Hey Ridge,
The short answer is because the demand for Rolex is crazy right now. Even though Rolex is not the most prestigious watch brand, it is definitely the most recognizable. Thus it has the most mass market appeal. Rolex prices have been skyrocketing for the past year and a half or so. I hope that answers your question.

It's simple as this for me, if the dealer is an a$$hole, they don't get my business. For the great/excellent dealers I meet - I'm not afraid to drop more money if he/she has what I'm looking for, even if it's a little more expensive. Attitude is everything at a coin show. Bad dealers at shops and shows ruin it for everyone.
There are so many grumpy and socially inept dealers who have no life other than coins. Whenever I encounter people like that, it also makes me appreciate the fact that collecting isn't everything and reminds me of my priorities as a collector: 1.) Family 2.) Career 3.) Coins/other hobbies 4.) Other hobbies
Stay positive, there are good ones out there. For the bad ones, karma will take care of them.

Life experience has taught me not to trust those who say,,,I,ll be honest with you!
Hello, I came across this video and felt it necessary to comment. 1st, crappy you were treated that way and agree with others that it should have been clearly indicated no photography ahead of time. 2nd, However I also feel it's 2018 and change is inevitable. Just as you mentioned by showcasing your experience to the public you can reach more people and potentially influence others into the hobby. 3rd, I will say though that I don't think the hobby is dying. I just believe it is evolving into a modern type of market place. Large bullion dealers such as Apmex, provident metals, jm bullion etc. are selling out of product faster than they can stock the shelves. Their marketing strategy attracts to many in which you can search for your favorite coin at the comfort of your home and return it free of cost if you are unsatisfied. I prefer to get it in person, but the prices of most online dealers including ebay sellers are not comparable to most coin shops and coin shows. 4th and lastly, I do agree there is a generational gap but also feel that more collectors will come about in the future. For instance, myself for a prime example was really into the hobby as a young boy. At around age 12 I lost interest and sought out other things such as surfing (thus my channel name haha)! However, a few years back, I re-discovered that old shoebox of my coin collection as a kid and starting doing research. I was BLOWN away at how many options there are now days in the hobby! From the classics, to modern day stacking there is something for everyone. I think more will have similar stories in the future especially when collections are inherited and new interests are discovered. Sorry for the long comment! haha New Subb here! If you get time check out my channel!
Hi Silver Surfer,
I agree that the hobby will evolve, but I have seen large declines in prices for both coins and paper money across the board for everything aside from the ultra high end rare and high grade examples. This leads me to believe that demand has weakened. I also see that the coin shows are becoming more and more empty. This may be because people are buying through other outlets, many of which are online, but I also believe this is partly indicative of dwindling overall interest. I hope I am wrong! Great channel. You have some very nice Morgans! I subscribed.
Best,
ACI
I love collecting coins!
I've started my collecting for my Great Grand Niece . I have an antique box that I'm fixing that a Walking Liberty will be on top. She has a beautiful black mother and a handsome white father. She will be wonderful !!
Awesome video! I live near Springfield and its hard to find good dealers around here.
May I know how much is worth for the 1965 &1966 US quarter. dollar coins ?
I went to my local Coin & Stamp Show here in Spokane, WA for the first time. I was the youngest by like 30 yrs lol smh also got negative vibes until after they drew 5 silver Dollars(4 Morgans & 1 Peace) as winnings then their main prize which was A 1881 $5 Liberty Head Gold coin that I WON! lol Q&A were there, too.
It's more accessible than ever, but young people don't use much cash so don't care about coins, and the younger generation have way less disposable income than what was standard half a century ago
This is nothing to be surprised about. In "old days", numismatics has always been a hobby with some level of secrecy and discretion. And plenty of older collectors and dealers still think on this way. This especially goes for "old school" dealers who still try to "hide" valuable information from their clients. A significant number of them try to keep their clients in "dark" so that they can manipulate with them... This looks a bit funny in internet era, because all information is easily accessible. You can check the prices easily, rarity, whatever you want... Therefore, some of "old school" crew doesn't like modern technologies, internet, taking photos, videos, etc. I know this from my personal experience... However, I think that you should ignore cases like these. Btw. great channel! Regards, Zlatko
I totally agree with you and I have been collecting coins for more than fifty years. I have gone to large coin shows and all I see are old people and that is very bad for the hobby. I see very little coin stores in Southern California and that says a lot about the decline of the hobby. I have sons and they have zero interest in coins, stamps, classic cars, and other collecting hobbies and that is not good. I believe that coin collecting will decline like stamp collecting and old stamps will probably be thrown out when the collectors pass away.
Super info coin like 👍
I am so sorry you had this experience. I grew up in St. Charles and it is full of the most entitled, arrogant, mean-spirited people I’ve ever encountered. I avoid going back at all costs because the people there are terrible. I truly believe you would not have been treated this poorly if the coin show was in a location other than St. Charles (or the surrounding towns). I hope you try to record coin shows in the future in different locations with nicer people.
If you have coins worth something
How do you get your money for what they are worth?
It’s really a shame that they had to act like that. How disappointing! I actually found your channel because I’m trying to see if I can get my grand nephew involved in coin collecting because I too noticed the decline in interest.
With you all the way, I’m sorry you were treated that way!
Appreciate the support my friend. Thanks for watching.

Where can I get a recent coin book and a coin Magnifier
My number 5 comment. Actually ive done 5 before so this makes 10 altogether.
Well as there is still a back up value of metal went up May 2022
Keep up the good work your doing
Good morning sir, I have a 1993 close AM penny. Is this a fake?
I am trying to get into it. I would have to try in do it over the spartphon
Coin hobby is dying or nearly dead. The investment coin market is hot but bears no resemblance to the hobby.
Have you covered the release of W mint quarters and coins, and any potential value they may have?
In my late 40s and didn't grow up with a phone in my hand, WiFi, PayPal....etc
So I think it's declining as far as younger collectors. But for those who are younger....man the technology at your fingertips is super. If thier exposed to it rather than Call of Duty.
I'm on the fence about filming. Me....id say film me I don't care. I carry a Peace Dollar and a Peace Maker lol.
But thieves are sly. It's outside or another show I think is risky if they watch a video of a collector. But to each thier own. Good luck my friend.
I do not think so. I have lots of young subscribers. I have collected coins for years and buy them all on the internet, no coin shows or shops. Internet has more coins.
Hi Gumardee,
Thanks for watching and great channel you have. I agree that online coin sales have supplanted a lot of the more traditional venues, but I do feel like there’s a bit of generational disconnect. Either way I believe channel like ours can help in getting more young people involved. Keep up the good work! I will be subscribing to your channel.

Wow you can come film my 40 yr old coin & 3yrold paper collection just the last 4 yrs put in 📚
It's because of most numismatic professionals are A-holes. You post a picture of a coin, ask a question and get bashed immediately. I posted a penny with some unusual doubling and tripling along with some what looked like a strike through on both sides. I even said in the post, "I understand it might have no numismatic value, I just want to hear what you all think happened to it. I understand it might not be a variety or error". Well you thought I just told them to F-off because it was brutal. One guy named Ken told me it was "Fu##ing damage" on Facebook. Lucky he lives 2500 miles away in Florida.
the old farts are dropping off like flys and so are the value of coins..one factor is these so-called error coin scams that have flooded market.
I have a 1975 dime that has a no s mark that I seen in one of your other videos saying they could be a lot of money how do I go about talk to someone about it
1 last thing is that I think you should do a vlog when you might get a chance, and not a show like that
Sounds like Wednesday bingo in my town
I got a taste of this attitude from another Utube site. today. It is a dying hobby. Easy to buy hard to sell, counterfits. What the hobby needs is a computerized system to grade coins, paying anyone a $100 to grade a coin is insane. I've tried to sell coins I purchased some 40 years ago. the offers I have recieved were insulting. You want to collect coins. I have the answer buy monster boxes of silver eagles not as for collecting but for bulk silver. When the dollar collapses you will be able to use those eagles as real money. I no longer look to sell my collection I pass them down to the grandchildren in thirty years. I no longer collect coins actively either. Maybe in a hundred years this hobby will have a computor system grading coins at like .50 cents per grade until then. It's going to be a dying hobby.
I couldn't agree more. Im 36 and the few shows ive attended , made me feel the same way.
I feel ya bro :( need to just be anonymous by hiding your cam man. Ty & GL
I see a lot more young people at coin show. Not so much at stamp shows. Even on TH-cam there are a bunch of college kids and younger starting coin collecting channels.
I hope it never dies!!
I got so many Sir how to contact😂you I arrange already
Hi Adrian
Ya, that place seems really weird but a similar thing happened to a coin show I went with with my dad very long story short when we were gonna buy a foreign note from Russia these older people we were buying from started to draw nazi Signs and when my dad went to the bathroom this old man started talking to me about how I should join a neo nazi group!? That place was really weird and it was my 1st coin show too 😟🤭
Also I’m 13 and I am interested in coin collecting and so are some of my friends
Hi Pixxa,
I have never had that type of experience, but as with any hobby, there are a good amount of strange people at coin shows. I have had better experiences at those. I now tend to only go to the larger coin shows, then again that may not be an option for people that do not live near major metropolitan areas. Thank you for watching. Please consider subscribing if you have not already. My hope is that this channel can help bridge the gap in the coin and currency hobby for younger generations.

Hi my name is Jerry from San Jose California I have some of those old coins.how I'm going to sail it.
How I'm going to sale it
unbelievable they pretty much violated your rightsfreedom of press in photography it's a shame that we still live in times of gestapo in the land of the free...sorry for that bad experience
This video is not very encouraging to Young investors and I think a black eye to the numismatic community. Unfortunately this is not the first time I've seen a video like this and I'm sure it won't be the last. I've been a longtime coin collector but only had a circulated change and maybe things out of the pawn shop I've never been to a coin show and I probably never will now

The coin community has only grown and these old fucks obviously just wanted to put on their own show..... I see more young people collecting as i goto shows around the west coast and when it comes to the coin community around here the old people show more respect to younger collectors. Next time this happens i want some names! We dont need these people putting on coin shows and making this hobby look bad! I'm 29 and have been collecting for 20 years, I dont plan to stop anytime soon!
Hi Bilton,
Thank you for watching. It’s unfortunate that people act that way. It doesn’t bother me as much, I’ve attended dozens of these shows over the years and met some great people, but for a new collector it would be devastating. Good to know there are other like-minded, passionate young collectors out there. Please consider subscribing if you have not already. I look forward to hearing more of your perspectives.

Currency World funny that you wrote that because about an hour ago I thought to myself "I like that guy's Channel I need to subscribe when I get back to the computer", LOL. I like your videos Man keep it up!
Thanks I appreciate that. The videos thus far have been pretty amateur but I’ve decided to dedicate a lot more time and energy to up the production and content quality. Hope you enjoy it. If you are ever in the Chicago area feel free to reach out.
that sucks
And you should not have done that because now other people are gonna thing it’s yours.
u would have been better collecting BITCOIN..use to be $1 initially and now $60,000US. coins r dead weight.
These items are expensive. you wouldn't walk into an art auction filming people with loads of money, buying valuable artwork. it's more than a privacy issue, it's to safeguard dealers and buyers from thieves. they don't know who u are. next time, ask for permission. and don't stoop to their level. I buy everything online. brick and mortar is yesterday. you want to appeal to a younger audience, use online auctions, forums and websites. only my opinion.
Hi Matt,
Thank you for your feedback. I understand your point and agree in large part. I do not think an art auction is comparable and even assuming that it was I routinely see people filming at art auctions and even at coin auctions. The other argument is the same one they made and in my view, it is nonsensical. What is the difference between seeing a rare coin and noting which particular dealer is in possession of it, and filming the rare coin? Filming a coin would not aid in stealing it and would probably hurt one's chances of doing so. I think a lot of these people have seen too many movies. If the concern was having peoples' faces in the videos then I think that would be a valid argument. The 10 seconds of footage I was able to get inside the show was purely me filming the cases. I fully agree with you that online is the way to go. However, it is nice to go see coins and currency in person every once in a while, and I know most people that watch the channel do not have the chance to attend. Thank you for your feedback. Please consider subscribing to the channel if you have not already. I look forward to hearing more from you.
Best,

That's sad that you were treated like that.
