As a worldcoincollector for nearly 50 years I've seen a lot of trades, visit a lot of stores, spoken to a lot of fellow collectors. I genuine think you are really honest and open with your customers. I have seen lot of times, huge collections wripped apart for there precious metals and got lowballed big times. It's a pity I live in the Netherlands otherwise I certainly would pay you guy's a visit. Keep making this interresting video's and thanks, howdy from the Netherlands 🤠
@@steve7201 I think your misinformed bud. Have you every talked to the people he buys from. Have you ever sold to him. If he lowballs elderly people why and how is he able to buy so many collections
@numismaticstacker yes he is, if that poster thinks he can do a better job, get a channel and do the same, see what he pays for a collection after driving all nite and staying in a hotel, pay for meals and gas and time,
So nice seeing fresh, original, nice coins like those Bust Half Dollars in the raw for a change! It’s so cool to hold one in hand instead of staring through plastic at it entombed in a friggin’ slab. I came up collecting BEFORE the slabs came along and remember those days fondly.
So glad you pointing out the natural orangish toning on that pre-33 gold pieces. I personally love the look of the toned gold pieces and super lucky enough to score a bunch of them
ive been collecting 50+ years. my grandmother got me started with a box of liberty walking half dollars when i was 10. i have nearly 100 sets of franklin half dollars and ike dollars along with the usual lincoln cents, buffalo nickles, mercury dimes, roosevelts, liberty quarters, washington quarters, walking liberty halfs, barber halfs, morgan and peace dollars and misc. coins. the better coins are being sent in for grading so my kids know what i have. along with my notes.
There’s a lot of collections like that out there, especially US Mint coin sets. I inherited (actually my wife) a bunch from her grandfather in the late 1990’s and I sold them a couple years ago. I looked through it all, there was nothing rare that was worth 100 or 1000x face value. There was a few thousand in face value that I looked up on eBay and selling for maybe 5x face, but the work you’d have to do get capture that wouldn’t be worth the effort. Given PCGS grading at a minimum of $40 per coin, you better know your stuff before you spend thousands to get them graded. I sold them for about 3x face value which was good for my wife and me, but a massive loss after inflation compared to what her grandad spent to buy it all.
Keeping coins in screw caps tubes keeps em dry in floods. Never pitch your tent in a dry riverbed old army saying also sometimes the soldier and the wood tent pegs are expendable items
I find it surprising how many of the high grade, important coins were not in flips or protected in some way. The two notes, both bearing the signature combination of Speelman-White are the most common of their variety (Fr. 36 & Fr. 37). Great video of a long-time collection!
In the intro you claim to be surrounded by all that water last week, but yet I see no watermark on your garage or anything else that I'm able to visualize 😮😮
Hi i have a question they don't milt 90 percent silver coins do they because that wou suck each coin has a history and just would be sad to melt coins of history
So you live on a Flood Plain . That ain't Harvey's fault . That is your fault for buying a home on a floodplain . Always be very aware of where you choose to buy real estate . There is an incredible amount of real estate that is on ' Flood Plains ' that has been sold to unaware people over the last 50 years here in America . I'm sorry for your ' troubles ' ! I hope you recover from this tragedy soon . I really enjoy your videos .
Ya it Appears astho these dudes do Fairly well…MOVE AWAY FROM THE “BELOW SEA LEVEL” HOME YOUS GUYS GOTS! I live in CA and Our state SUX… H O W E V E R…Its NOT a “Oh it’s Flooding again” Scenario…
What an Incredible opportunity you have to be offered a collection like this due to a collection like this is few and far between,,do you sell to individuals or do you just wholesale it out???also this collection has me thinking about mine that I was going to leave to my kids which I’m going to have a talk with them about if their just going to turn around and dump it like this or continue on with it for their kids ,,thanks for sharing this vid
I'm in fort myers..so you know what happened here..we were untouched hee as were in o e of the highest points here, 23ft over water level but meant everything was out around us and devastation on the coastline and river sides.
I’m a little late to comment but that one bag of constitutional in the beginning where he said here’s about 17,500 bucks of silver that means at a minimum there’s 3500 quarters of silver or however it’s mixed in and I really didn’t see that many in there but maybe that’s just me. I’ve bought 100 dollars in constitutional before one in mercury dimes and one in quarters and I was surprised to see how little that bag of dimes were so maybe I’m wrong but it didn’t seem like 17,500 to me
Saludos veo que tiene una super colección de todo tipo de monedas antiguas y billetes lo felicito por esa colección por más de 60 años y tiene una gran fortuna históricamente hablando nuevamente felicidades yo solo tengo una pequeña colección de monedas comencé hace 2 años y tengo 63 años y me gusta es mi Jovi saludos
Nice buy. Kust came across your channel and enjoyed. Maybe one day my kids will be doing sort of the same thing with you or a like collector. Understand your feelings about flooded times last couple weeks - I'm in Montgomery/Conroe. Prayers for all those affected. Subscribing to catch more of your videos.
Selling to wholesalers because "you dont have the clients for them" is a pretty ridiculous statement. Make rolls and put them on Ebay will be thousands more...makes no sense to me.
Always a Critic making waves that have No Reason to discuss this us about the collection not moving away from a flood plain... So with that done.... Hey Guys excellent video, I think You got a very Nice Collection and I'm kunda jealous lol You captured a beautiful collection there, that is what I want mine to be I'm actually still building Buffalo Nickels and Mercury dimes and just about anything else I can get My hands on.... In all I have 350 to 450 in collectible coins Lincolns, Buffalo Nickels, Kennedy half dollars, Ikes, and a bunch of sets but My all time favorite coins are Nickels any type but in MS condition if I'm gonna spend my money on something I try my best to get top shelf.... Great to see that collection gives me incentive to stride further in collecting!!!! Thanks Guys!!!!
What a dynamic and 'alive' purchase! Labor intensive to be sure, but undoubtably greater rewards to reap, and as you mentioned the pleasure of handling so many unmolested coins, and the excitement of genuinely coming across surprises/poss. treasures not looked at in a long while. That creamy 3 gold, and those bust coins should get any collectors heart beating faster, nice. Wow!
Hello and thank you for showing this video, and can I say that the key here is that I’m glad you guys survived Hurricane Harvey. I wasn’t aware of the situation but I say again glad you guys are okay and your home is still standing.
I kind of enjoyed this video on the collection you purchased. It reminds me a little of myself and my collection of sixty some years. I would have an interest in one of the 1951 proof sets, unopened. My birth year.
That does not look anywhere close to $17,000 face of silver coins. That would be more than a bag and a half of silver and you would not be able to pick it up that easily.
How does one possibly evaluate that much material within a reasonable amount of time in order to make a well-informed offer that works for both you and the seller? From the size of that old collection it seems like it would take WEEKS.
Freshly cleaned and dry hands are better than any gloves which might leave fabric particles on the coins or cause you to slip a coin out of your hands. Coin graders who handle the absolute finest and rarest coins in the world have been explaining for a little while now.

How does this channel not have 1 million followers lol this is crazy. Best coin channel on any platform around.
Cause he lowballs misinformed elderly people and takes advantage of then. I mean just look at the guy how do people sell to him.

He actually pays higher than 90% of dealers. Makes his money by moving lots of coins fast. Drew seems like a pretty honest dealer in my opinion
Thanks for the behind the curtains look. Much appreciated. As you know it only helps your rep - great work!

That seated dime with the ornate reverse is a love token, nice!
Please keeping making videos on this collection that you bought. I can't wait to see what is in some of those rolls and boxes!
Love the unopened 1951-1953 proof sets.
Me too !! I’d love to buy 1 of each

We had close to 15ft at our apartment during Harvey. Luckily we were on third floor. Bottom 2 floors totaled though.

Very useful information ^^

Enjoying your videos!
Do you have any of the unopened 1951 - 1953 proof sets available for sale?
Excellent video!! Very entertaining to see an original old-time collection.

Harsh but true
We are on a 500 year flood plain on the north side of Houston. We actually were flooded from an upstream dam. Please ask before assuming.
Hey self-righteous dude! dumb when someone is in pain to pile on! 6’ of water Not a flood plain normality
What are you doing with those leather back books on the side counters in the kitchen, cleaning and airing? A message from England........

I believe that the term is not demand a premium but , instead it should be command a premium. Just saying “for a friend” !
14:10 Woah. A trade dollar. Congrats.
Have a wheat penny with the Lincoln face blank. Any idea what it’s worth or where I can find out ?
If it’s face is blank then it is worn down an not worth much more than $0.50-$2.00

great video. really glad you guys. are safe, was praying. i have family near houston as well
When you have a collection like this in your videotaping out your windows. Don't be surprised when robbers show up.

Jesus finding an 1877 loose is wild
Welcome Back so glad the flood is behind you
Congratulations on surviving the flood. I suggest you take advantage of your near miss and move to higher ground.
good vid thanks
13:20 Nice bust half
that's a great collection!! thanks for sharing

That does not look anywhere close to $17,000 face of silver coins. That would be more than a bag and a half of silver and you would not be able to pick it up that easily.
I assume he meant that's what it's worth.
Would you send that half in for grading as it is ?
Nice coins Drew. Thanks
My guy how much was that all
Glad y’all are Ok with all the water Texas has lately. Thank the Lord for His protection!
Another great video thank you
Just wanted to say your voice is similar to Anakin's
Two bags of 90 percent is $17,000 worth. Uh huh.
Love to get one of those sealed proof sets....
What a nice collection guys

I genuinely gasped out loud when I saw that 1877. Genuinely a dream coin
The Connecticut looks great!
How do I contact you about purchasing or selling coins guys
Coucha resale
What a shame! All that time and effort in collecting these coins, and then you pass away. How lame!! He probably died broke
I got one word COOL
50 -D NICKLE might be worth searching for.
Very nice!!!
Too bad the Black Eagle notes have been folded for all those years
You should look through those war nickel rolls to see if there are any 1943/2-P
wow if they were still sealed shipping box's unopen PCGS would grade them first strike that would be so cool.............
Nice collection like a time capsule
The 1877 Cent is a huge score!!! Ive got lucky searching through lots but nothing remotely that valuable
thanks

The isabelle also caught my eye.
