    My dad had a restaurant in a small town in Tennessee during the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s. We spent every night for years sifting through the coins eg. looking for "deals" eg. silver dollars; wheat pennies, etc. Over the years there were bags and bags. My dad would sort them out and sell them. He bought a couple of cars cash with the proceeds.

      I’m the collector in the family. Sure do wish my Dad had done that but he said it was just money to put in the bank back then.

    I’ve been into many coin stores where I knew I wasn’t wanted in there. My wife and I own a commercial cleaning and janitorial company and we still work in the field at some very dirty places and between jobs if there’s a coin store we stop and sometimes I might not look like a model customer wearing the nicest clothes. The funniest thing I’ve ran into was, I should know what I want before I came in there or the I’m not here to teach you about coins. This is the main reason younger people won’t walk into these places and why I don’t like it either. There is a local guy to me and he is really nice and helpful so at least there one near me.

    About 2 years ago I went to a coin show. A dealer had a $5 bucket. Looking through it I saw a coin I liked a 1934 1/10 Balboa from Panama. A few months ago I was looking at it and looked it up on NGC world price guide it was silver and only 75000 were minted. I sent it to PCGS and it came back a 64. That’s a good score.

    SSS, it would be nice if you'd spend a lot more time analyzing the fake PCGS holder. For example, does it have the numbers on the edge? If so, is the font correct? Please do a more complete video on fake PCGS and NGC slabs where you weigh them across different years, etc.
    Also, are you sure that the hologram PCGS decal, on the back, is always supposed to be inside the slab. I have some that I got direct from PCGS that appear to be on the outside. I'll check them closer.

    The old lady story getting $1200 is why I need to simplify my stack at some point. I enjoy collecting and enjoy owning and remembering where I got things. But I've collected quite a bit of premium over time. I feel like I need to move it myself at some point and just buy gold.

    Pawn shops typically give out loans for coins, that are way below the actual value. What the customer overheard may have been a loan amount, rather than a purchase amount. If they pay the interest, they can get their gold coins back.

    I belive the motor and emissions system are calibrated differently pending what metal is in the "catholic" converter, maybe as simple as temperature.
    Thank you for another fascinating, fun and educational video Mr. Speg and Mr. Guy. I believe I've watched every one at least twice but many of them more than that.
    I missed my opportunity to get in on your signature round it sounds like but I would be my pleasure to purchase a couple if the opportunity arises.
    Thanks for the laughs and the knowledge Speg, I enjoy all of your content.

    @ 38:08 -- I have a couple ancient coins w/ counterstamps. They definitely are rare, but they did do counterstamping back then.
    But of course.., gotta be extra careful, as a chopmark or counterstamp is very easy to add later on.

    Some great coins shown here, I loved the Dimes and Cents. Speg, a large coin is rarely, possibly very rarely found in Gem Grade because they are too big during production and packaging, but you can always find the smaller coins in exceptional condition although still very hard to find nevertheless, therefore the Dimes do not need to be bigger if you collect condition. Great Video and coins.

    I was at a garage sale and saw a fellow sell 101 pre 1964 half dollars, most of them quite old, for $1.00 each to a friend of mine who beat me to the sale. They had belonged to his grandfather. He figured that he was doubling his money on each coin. If it wasn't my friend buying them I would have offered him much more for them, but I didn't want to piss off my friend.

I was wondering if you turned this individual in to the authorities? Counterfeiters come in all sizes, one individual, a small group, all the way up to countries like china & n. korea. Counterfeiters need stopped! It is bad for our hobby. Would love to hear your response to my comment. Thank you, Gunny

    I had a friend try to sell me 10 of the 2020 Silver Eagles loose and not in any holders.. The first thing I did was a ping test and it did not "sing" like a real silver dollar. I paid him $250 for the 10 coins but I told him I wanted to check them out better at home. My small scale wouldn't weight them so the only reliable tests I could do was a ping test on each one then also a magnet test. All 10 silver Eagles were magnetic. I asked him for a refund and I returned all 10 coins. Now he knows that they are fakes and he won't try to sell them to anyone else.

    The fake PCGS slab has the "sonic" emblem on the back which is on their current holders, however....the one thing the counterfeiters have not gotten right with their attempts to counterfeit that holder is the RFID chip that are in the legit holders. If you hold the label up to the light you'll see the chip that's between the labels......no chip, no legit. Look for this when purchasing the current PCGS slabs.

    Any videos on the SBA coins with SMOOTH RIMS ? - MY dad has 2 of these and collected 1000's of these over his lifetime but he only ever found 2 smooth rims. For the record he only got his SBA coins from the post office. I read an article somewhere a long time ago that the Smooth Rim SBA coins were Experimental coins by the Mint made for the Blind so that they could distinguish the SBA from a Regular quarter. The plan /program was dropped though after blind folks told the US Mint that they could "read" the lettering on the coins to tell them apart with their fingers. So, a bit of a "Thanks for thinking of us blind folks at US Mint, but we got this...lol". Apparently its the old story of an experiment where the coins made were to be destroyed but more than a few escaped into circulation. I've contacted the US Mint and got no information, PCGS and NGC both said this isn't an error coin or variety and won't recognize it as such but neither would they state if they had ever seen or graded one before. Only other theories I've heard are "Intentional after-Mint damage" where the rim was filed down smooth... but for what point??? ... I've also heard that the rim was worn off but slot machine players - however, if so, the coins would bear far more circulation damage and the 2 we have are clean and pristine, just as if they went straight from mint to PO. Which is what the Mint did to get the coins into circulation and more widely accepted - Which of course didn't work out. Additionally, if the slot machine theory were true these smooth rim SBA's would be far far more common to find in circulation. -- ANY AND ALL ADVICE AND INFO IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! ... Keep up the Great Videos -Love every one!
