Truly, a museum quality collection that should be preserved and kept intact for everyone to enjoy. The quality of those first American coins is just insane. It’s literally like somebody took them straight from the mint and kept them safe for 230 years. The only examples I’ve seen are nearly black and flat from use.
As a kid, I had a paper route and each week would go through the change that people often paid with looking for rare coins. I got almost a whole set of wheat cent pennies collected that way and it was a lot of fun. As you say, in this era I don't see the appeal to coin collecting for the youth because of all the technology distractions.
It's funny how they at pawn stars takes a deep breath and starts the scamming process. Well this is a nitch market, long time to sell etc. That's the pawn business.

My grandmother started me on my coin collection when I was a kid. I remember the teacher ask the class to bring in coins for show and tell, I had a 1797 coin that was brown in color I don't remember what denomination it was. He said he wanted to keep it and look into what it was, I never got it back he later told me it was fake. I lived in Newtown Connecticut at the time. I wish I had that coin today I could probably retire.
I have a complete highgrade Morgan dollar collection. MS 65 is the lowest in the whole collection All upper mint state . It's worth alot but this collection is astounding. It took me 44 years to get my collection and I will never sell it. It will go to my daughter who has shared in my joy of coin collecting since she was 5 years old. She is now 38. This collection displayed in this video is the finest of it's type in the world
this is just amazing , it took time for these coins to be of any value , we have coins in our possession right now that may be worth this much in 200 years , time is not on my side at 62. my next coin to collect will be the 2016 Wedge Tailed Eagle from the Perth Mint who never disappoints all coins I have from them are flawless. Wishing you all well.
Hmmm, probably not. Philly mint has the ability to make 32 MILLION coins a day. Clad, worthless coins at that. Modern business strike coins (and even proofs) I'm sure will still be virtually worthless in 200 years.
why U.S people think that their coins are so expensive or valuable? i prefer an Julius Ceasar or an Alexander the great coin for 5,000$ from 2000 years ago than a dolar from 200 years ago for 500k
Just Patcher because it’s our history and we enjoy our coins, it’s not that they think they’re valuable and expensive, it’s that it is valuable and expensive. There’s a limited number of really nice old US coins in good condition, all the wealthy numismatists want it so their collection can be the best.
I'd pay around 100 million but not double that. The flowing hair dollar is the most sought after dollar. Any coin before 1800 is rare. If you didn't know about the MS grades, the scale only goes to 70. So all are considered mint quality. Most of these coins are around the 3 to 15 grade normally, at best
Im falling in love with coins, my collection just doesn't grow fast enough, I just do t make the money to keep up. It so unfortunate because I'm always coming across things I want but can't get. But these collections are incredible

Apmexand jm bullion are charging about when silver is 18.00 per ounce and it's only 12.00 per ounce and they're making customers pay for their inventory loss.
That's not accurate. The spot price is more reflective of "Paper" silver - ETFs and futures, of which there is controversy and even ongoing investigations right now. Lot of folks sold off their paper silver to try to buy physical bullion, and right now the demand is far outpacing the supply, hence no drop in price.

Hey, in 1796, it wasn't the first year where the production of quarters started, in 1792, they made quarters, the only thing is that they were known as quarter dollars, only a few are known, then in 1796, they started producing quarters again.

Daniel of London When I was six in 1963 a small coke and small popcorn at the theatre was 25 cents, now a small coke and small popcorn is 10 dollars. Now do we understand the value of fiat currency? We've been had. In 1963 a quarter was 90% silver.
doesnt make much sence, silver in that quarter would be worth like 3 dollars nowadays, so you would need triple the amout of silver at current price, by that logic silver lost shopping value
I mean i would do more research, and see what they are going for online. If it costs more to grade it than what they are going for, don't. example: if grading one coin costs $25, and it's worth $10 Graded, don't get it graded, unless it means something to you of course
i think he played it smart and sold at the perfect time, the financial system can collapse at any moment and when it does numismatic coins wont be worth anything. if i was him i would have taken that 200 million and invested half in gold and silver bullion, keep a couple hundred grand in cash and purchase farmland and livestock with the rest
Meow Mix I know you're trying to be a smartass but we'll see who's laughing when the American monetary system collapses and you're starving to death, you can't eat bullshit...
The last few financial disasters were bumps in the road, they were localised to the US only this will be a global collapse of the entire monetary system with massive widespread panic. Numismatic coins are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them so who's going to give a shit about Ben Franklin half dollar when the world around them is in turmoil?
Perceived value is applicable to almost every 'asset' one way or another. Why is gold worth so much? It doesn't do anything and it has extremely limited uses. Because of perceived value, people are willing to pay for it. Why are homes worth so much? Because of perceived value, people are willing to pay for and speculate on them (hence driving up the prices to ridiculous levels, which people then continue to buy). Why are so many equities worth so much, many of which are in my opinion over-valued? Again perceived value. People continually prop up the prices for irrational reasons, because they perceive it to be cheap relative to historical performances whilst discounting macroeconomic fundamentals. Take a look at the daily volatility you see in markets. That is irrational. 1 small piece of news that is completely irrelevant to the developing 1-3month trend developing via macro forces, can still completely alter the daily performance of markets in the opposite direction (but doesn't change anything regarding the overall direction). People are perceiving value in something from this 1 piece of irrelevant news. Even if systematic faults are occurring in the financial market for example, equities can still continue going up (as what occurred during the GFC), this is because it won't drop until the general market (money) catches on and realises something is wrong, then their perceived value drops and equities drop. Even food, a basic necessity, is open to perceived value. Pay $10 for a steak at a club/bar, or $50 for steak from the same stock of cattle at a restaurant? People are willing to pay the $50 because they perceive the food / food experience to be worth it etc. Humans even have digital currencies now. Literally backed by nothing. Yet they're worth 100's of dollars. I, like the person who created bitcoin, could arguably try and invent my own asset; and make money from it. It's just a matter of other people perceiving it to have value and then it will have value. The amount of value will depend on how much others perceive it to be worth.
The coins in this collection should be in a museum for everyone to see. why didn't the gov just print him his amount of fiat dollars ? 200 million dollars is a lot of money. I don't think most people understand just how much it really is and what you could with that much money. $200 million wow...
+Tank driver These coins will bring a lot of money no matter where they are sold. I hope they stay in America. Now as far as not old I bought a Roman coin from 2000 years ago a Roman head and Zues's owl on the back of it for way less then any of them coins are worth. I would tread in a heartbeat. look in a redbook at the dates he says. the prices are shocking .
peter hawryluk I live in Lincoln UK, my city was the Romans capital city when they invaded and we still use parts of their sewage system today and we also still have a few Roman walls about. also Viking's Norman's, celtic's and Anglo Saxons and many more have all lived and invaded this city over the time so lots of treasure buried i reckon.
Tank driver like that guy who found the Viking buried gold in a field over there. have you ever found anything ? I found a stone spearhead in Florida and a arrow point that is amazing. Good luck hunting...
+Tank driver I second that. in fact, you could get a metal detector in a field where I live in Lancashire and chances are you'll find coins hundreds or thousands of years old. it's pretty funny that in america you have buildings that are listed as 'historic' because they're 100 years old. the house I grew up in in England was 200 years old.
There was an Eliasburg collection that was literally every single coin made and of each type. I don't know what date it went to. I think the 80s. It was the most expensive til I saw this. The pedigree of an Eliasburg coin makes it more expensive too. After selling this collection I'd ask that Arab sheik to sell me the 1933 $20 saint Gaudens coin. I think he paid about 42 million. It needs to be in the USA. The reason its so expensive is that the feds made it illegal for citizens to own gold. Any gold a person had at their bank was seized. That's why old people didn't trust banks for years. But the government finally allowed these few $20 pieces to be legal to own. I think there may have been 7 or less. Maybe just that one coin. Its the most beautiful U.S. coin made. The first year was a 1907 high relief, which means the image on the coin was raised and the coin not flat. Banks hated not being able to stack the coins so the mint made them flat. The high relief is impressive to see.
Being a simple lover of the metals gold and silver I have a large collection paid a small price over spot. To me wear on a coin shows its history the hands it has passed through. If I have a choice between a 1,000 double eagle and a 2,000 double eagle with a little less history, I'll take the Wear.
I use to have one of those but I did not know they were rare... Back at my country I found a coin that almost had the same case but I lost the coin :( idk what it's worth tho and I forgot what it looked like

I bought thatcollection at auction for $23 MILLION,... got hungry one day and sold every one for a slice of PIZZA at Dominos Pizza,.. they seemed happy
+James Dolbeck call me a skeptic but I don't believe your story. I don't think Domino's sells by the slice. So, consider yourself exposed!!
+cdakskid ok,,.. I am exposed,.. my real name is DONALD GRUMP and I eat gold coins for breakfast
it was Pizza Pizza, my bad
A Quote from a Fav. movie "In Chicago it's worth 50 Bucks!".
Philadelphia (i checked it)
$969.14 face value. Now do we understand the current value of fiat currency? We've been had.
Oh god its one of these pretentious people
Daniel of London When I was six in 1963 a small coke and small popcorn at the theatre was 25 cents, now a small coke and small popcorn is 10 dollars. Now do we understand the value of fiat currency? We've been had. In 1963 a quarter was 90% silver.
doesnt make much sence, silver in that quarter would be worth like 3 dollars nowadays, so you would need triple the amout of silver at current price, by that logic silver lost shopping value
True
aeroman5000 got em!
And where are they stored again?
It gonna sit a while I have to frame it best I can do is 500 Nd remember I’m taking all the risk here
Daniel Mac: "Hey I like your coins, what do you do for a living" 😆
Rick off pawn stars told me to tell you the best he can do is $50.
I found a 2017p Lincoln shield penny. Printed on the wrong planchet. Dark planchet used. At 2.48gm Should I have it graded.
I mean i would do more research, and see what they are going for online. If it costs more to grade it than what they are going for, don't. example: if grading one coin costs $25, and it's worth $10 Graded, don't get it graded, unless it means something to you of course
i think he played it smart and sold at the perfect time, the financial system can collapse at any moment and when it does numismatic coins wont be worth anything. if i was him i would have taken that 200 million and invested half in gold and silver bullion, keep a couple hundred grand in cash and purchase farmland and livestock with the rest
+Kyle Kelly... lol. might as well spend that on MREs and guns for the upcoming zombie apocalypse
Meow Mix I know you're trying to be a smartass but we'll see who's laughing when the American monetary system collapses and you're starving to death, you can't eat bullshit...
u r right!..I agree totally
Numismatics never lost value across the past few financial disasters.
The last few financial disasters were bumps in the road, they were localised to the US only this will be a global collapse of the entire monetary system with massive widespread panic. Numismatic coins are only worth what someone is willing to pay for them so who's going to give a shit about Ben Franklin half dollar when the world around them is in turmoil?
nice to see someone who must to be quite wealthy while at the same time rather humble... )
I will never understand numismatics. I will never spend so much money on perceived value. I doubt there is a buyer for this ridiculous price
+reverse moustache cat you will never understand numismatics...plenty of other people will
Perceived value is applicable to almost every 'asset' one way or another.
Why is gold worth so much? It doesn't do anything and it has extremely limited uses. Because of perceived value, people are willing to pay for it.
Why are homes worth so much? Because of perceived value, people are willing to pay for and speculate on them (hence driving up the prices to ridiculous levels, which people then continue to buy).
Why are so many equities worth so much, many of which are in my opinion over-valued? Again perceived value. People continually prop up the prices for irrational reasons, because they perceive it to be cheap relative to historical performances whilst discounting macroeconomic fundamentals.
Take a look at the daily volatility you see in markets. That is irrational. 1 small piece of news that is completely irrelevant to the developing 1-3month trend developing via macro forces, can still completely alter the daily performance of markets in the opposite direction (but doesn't change anything regarding the overall direction). People are perceiving value in something from this 1 piece of irrelevant news. Even if systematic faults are occurring in the financial market for example, equities can still continue going up (as what occurred during the GFC), this is because it won't drop until the general market (money) catches on and realises something is wrong, then their perceived value drops and equities drop.
Even food, a basic necessity, is open to perceived value. Pay $10 for a steak at a club/bar, or $50 for steak from the same stock of cattle at a restaurant? People are willing to pay the $50 because they perceive the food / food experience to be worth it etc.
Humans even have digital currencies now. Literally backed by nothing. Yet they're worth 100's of dollars.
I, like the person who created bitcoin, could arguably try and invent my own asset; and make money from it. It's just a matter of other people perceiving it to have value and then it will have value. The amount of value will depend on how much others perceive it to be worth.
+Meow Mix So true. The fiat "money" we have today is not even truly money.
Supposedly the first three lots have sold ABOVE their estimates.
Well there are tens of thousands of us out there, probably more. I myself am a crazy one, spending almost my entire income on numismatics every month.
i have never seen such an amazing collection all my life
He’s selling them because soon they won’t be worth dik
why do you say that?
Makes me want to start metal detecting, elation fining a 1700's coin or a gold
The coins in this collection should be in a museum for everyone to see. why didn't the gov just print him his amount of fiat dollars ? 200 million dollars is a lot of money. I don't think most people understand just how much it really is and what you could with that much money. $200 million wow...
the sad truth about this collection was Brent never got to see the final few sales of his collection do to passing away
1792 not even old be worth shit in Europe
+Tank driver These coins will bring a lot of money no matter where they are sold. I hope they stay in America. Now as far as not old I bought a Roman coin from 2000 years ago a Roman head and Zues's owl on the back of it for way less then any of them coins are worth. I would tread in a heartbeat. look in a redbook at the dates he says. the prices are shocking .

I live in Lincoln UK, my city was the Romans capital city when they invaded and we still use parts of their sewage system today and we also still have a few Roman walls about. also Viking's Norman's, celtic's and Anglo Saxons and many more have all lived and invaded this city over the time so lots of treasure buried i reckon.
Tank driver like that guy who found the Viking buried gold in a field over there. have you ever found anything ? I found a stone spearhead in Florida and a arrow point that is amazing. Good luck hunting...
+Tank driver I second that. in fact, you could get a metal detector in a field where I live in Lancashire and chances are you'll find coins hundreds or thousands of years old. it's pretty funny that in america you have buildings that are listed as 'historic' because they're 100 years old. the house I grew up in in England was 200 years old.
Age has nothing to do with the value of the coins, It's the rarity, the low mintage, Numbnuts!
How much does one of the little coin holders cost?
Very cheap
WTF no gloves while handling the collection??? i'll pay 10% less now
I'm pretty sure no grading service uses gloves actually handling the coins, let alone the holders.
PCGS wears gloves, idk about the other bigger grading services but I'm pretty sure they do too.
YoloBagels Nope, there're videos on their youtube channel explaining that when you wear gloves you lose some tactile information.
mynameismatt2010 Oh, I get it now lol, but still wanna be careful not to get hand grease and stuff on em.
coins are meant to be held. you dont need to wear gloves. i have several ancient roman silver coins and i handle them without gloves.
You can't ever look at coins with face value. That's pure silliness. Maybe at spot value.
Anyone know the music at the start?
My metal detect and have 2 Capped Bust coins. A 1834 Dime. And 1837 Quarter, I have 165 silver coins and much much more
There was an Eliasburg collection that was literally every single coin made and of each type. I don't know what date it went to. I think the 80s. It was the most expensive til I saw this. The pedigree of an Eliasburg coin makes it more expensive too. After selling this collection I'd ask that Arab sheik to sell me the 1933 $20 saint Gaudens coin. I think he paid about 42 million. It needs to be in the USA. The reason its so expensive is that the feds made it illegal for citizens to own gold. Any gold a person had at their bank was seized. That's why old people didn't trust banks for years. But the government finally allowed these few $20 pieces to be legal to own. I think there may have been 7 or less. Maybe just that one coin. Its the most beautiful U.S. coin made. The first year was a 1907 high relief, which means the image on the coin was raised and the coin not flat. Banks hated not being able to stack the coins so the mint made them flat. The high relief is impressive to see.
Is there a real buyer of olds coins?? Coz of i have a lots and subject to sell
It depends. What are they?
Being a simple lover of the metals gold and silver I have a large collection paid a small price over spot. To me wear on a coin shows its history the hands it has passed through. If I have a choice between a 1,000 double eagle and a 2,000 double eagle with a little less history, I'll take the Wear.
Hi! Good day...I have several old coins from different countries...May I know, is it possible for me to sell these coins in an auction?
I use to have one of those but I did not know they were rare...
Back at my country I found a coin that almost had the same case but I lost the coin :( idk what it's worth tho and I forgot what it looked like
just because it is in a case doesnt make it rare or authentic for that matter
So it went to auction in 2015.
How much did it sell for?
U are such a lucky dude for having this collection I don’t have anything that is this valuable in mine as I’m just starting out but wish I did
Wow! What a collection.
$106,720,432.25. Amazing!
Beautiful piece
What a great collection!

This guy went after the primo stuff. Paid off.
How much did it get sold for?
