When I was a kid I was with my dad when he bought a collection of coins at auction. In with the random assortment of coins was a collection of cigar wrappers and cloth inserts (I don't know the technical term but they were printed cloth decorations). I still have them decades later. Always enjoy these chat with Coin Guy. Thank you, sir!
Love the Coin Guy videos. About a hundred years ago my family owned three different small cigar factories in Cuba. The bands started out as utilitarian to lessen cigar smell on the fingers. They became the perfect advertising medium and so they began to be made flashier so that the smokers could identify their favorite brand from across the room. It also provided manufacturing information to prevent fakes. Eventually, just like cigarette cards manufacturers added historical and art series in order to entice the smoker to have to keep buying the same brand in order to complete a set. In my collections I specialize in Napoleon cigar bands which was a popular theme.
I'm surprised Guy's shop isn't always full of peeps just visiting him. My parents had a small gas/grocery store when I was young. She had a gift for gab and was very knowledgeable, like Guy. The store always had several regulars just standing around visiting. Ya just enjoy listening to Guy, a gem
I'm not a commemorative collector either, but I do collect the things I like when I see them, and I had the same reaction when I saw one of the Old San Francisco Mint commemoratives. That Heraldic Eagle hit my impulse button, and I bought it. I don't even remember what I paid for it. I just like it.
20:01 love that Trading Places reference, my mom used to showed that movie to her High School students to help explain the stock market. One of Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd’s best (classic) 👍
A cigar band started for women so their white gloves wouldn't turn brown from tar while smoking but makers quickly realized it was not only a good way to advertise but to have a look that sets your cigars apart from others :) people often will smoke to the band but many cigars guys remove it and smoke all the way down until the nub gets too hot to enjoy...Coll collection I have a book just like it with all the cigars ive smoked its fun to look back at it...
Coin Guy has a smart business he can sell off his inventory for 70% of its value and probably have around a million to retire. can't say that with most others especially the restaurant industry if they go broke that's it.
@@horstdouglas1 Yeah that's a hard business, competition rising food costs rising wages food waste cost. that's why you gotta charge $10 for a cheeseburger that costs you $2.
From what I've seen with proof coins graded 69, although they may be designated as having Deep Cameo, the relief usually isn't quite frosty white and/ or some slight details may be missing
Cigar bands were made to keep a gentleman's glove clean while smoking a cigar. (Victorian era) Of course the fancier and more elaborate the band, the higher the perceived quality and advertising to purchase a particular product.
Something the Coin Guy hasnt though about is that these hoards dont always hit the market. This particular hoard in Spain was aprehended by the Spanish Government, and will never make it to collectors. The fact ancients are affordable has to do a lot with the fact the niche is smaller, but also that we often underestimate the ancient peoples, particularly so the Romans. They had many hundreds of years to mint coins, multiple mints, it was a major state enterprise, and Im not exaggerating when I say they minted multiple billions of coins. A lot of these coins have reached our days, so the supply is surprisingly big. If you have interest in digging a bit deeper on ancients, I'd be glad to share some of my knowledge :)
Great video Speg. I have the gold coin in PF70 Ultra Cameo. I bought it a few years ago for under spot...those were the days my friend 🤓 Thanks for continuing to bring Coin Guy to us...he is awesome!
Here's an interesting cigar band article from 1994: Nearly three-quarters of a century ago, Norman Dennis began scavenging in passenger train cars in Allentown. He was about 8 when he started rummaging for cigar bands in trains that chugged into the Lehigh Valley Railroad station at 4th and Hamilton streets and the Jersey Central at 3rd and Hamilton. Dennis was continuing a collecting tradition started by his grandfather, Oswin. His grandfather handed his cigar band collection to his son, William, who in turn handed it to Norman. Today, Dennis has a colorful collection of more than 4,000 cigar bands, and he is one of relatively few cigar band and label collectors worldwide. "I used to live at 10th and Liberty streets, Allentown. I would walk from there to the train stations," Dennis says. "I knew when every train was coming in. I knew the conductors. They used to let me walk through the trains and collect the cigar bands. There were only certain coaches you could smoke in. "I use to walk close to the curb, too, and look for cigar butts. If it had a band on it, I took it off," Dennis says. Dennis, who is nearly 80, retired 18 years ago. He used to operate Dennis' Market near 12th and Turner streets, Allentown. He ran the market from 1950 to 1975. He attended Allen High School, Class of 1932. Dennis' cigar band collection includes a set of presidential cigar bands, ranging from President Washington to Theodore Roosevelt. Each of these colorful bands has a picture of the president represented. His collection also includes alphabetical cigar bands and Turkish ones, which include photos of people and animals. He also has a large 60-year-old cigar with its band. Dennis says he never bought a cigar band until four or five years ago. Then he bought a few here and there. When he started collecting, his late sister Agnes used to help him find cigar bands. "Cigar bands are very colorful, decorative and collectible," says Harry L. Rinker, antiques columnist for The Morning Call. "In a way, cigar bands are very fascinating ... They are the epitome of American lithography. The colors are as brilliant today as when they were put on 75 years ago." "The problem is that the number of people who grew up remembering cigar bands are diminishing. Collecting cigar bands has peaked in terms of maximum value. "They are worth maybe $40 apiece. Most price guides don't list cigar labels as part of the pricing structure, because only several hundred people are collecting. There's only a strong following among a select group of people." "Cigar band collecting was very popular around the turn of the century," David Freiberg of East Prospect, York County, says. Freiberg is a dealer in all types of cigar labels, boxes and bands. "But the interest in collecting these items died out in the '30s, '40s, and '50s around here," he says. "There are still quite a few collectors in Europe. There are a couple of societies in Europe that collect. "Cigar bands are more valuable if they have pictures on them. Their condition is an important part in their value, too. A crease or tear decreases their value. A presidential set, depending which one, may be worth $40 to several hundred dollars. Usually it's worth $40." The International Seal, Label and Cigar Band Society, based in Tucson, Ariz., has 100 members worldwide. About 80 percent of the collecting members are in the United States, the remainder in Europe. "Some collectors in Europe have close to a million cigar bands in their collection," Myron H. Freedman, society secretary, says. Freedman has 350,000 cigar bands. "We used to have a lot more older people collecting, but they're dying off. We do get new ones periodically. Our membership is not broken down by states," he says. Dennis' grandfather started collecting when he was a boy. He put together the bulk of the collection that he passed on to his son. When Norman Dennis got the collection from his father, it had about 2,000 cigar bands. Dennis, who has smoked only about a half-dozen cigars in his life, says he has "no idea what his collection is worth." But he says several years ago he was offered a new car for the collection. He started collecting because of the tradition established by his grandfather and father. "Well, my father, William, gave it to me," he explains. "He felt they were such a prize. I had to promise to keep them and take care of them because they were his dad's. "At the time, I didn't think too much of it. But dad thought the world of it, and I idolized my father." Dennis says his collection will probably go to one of his grandchildren. He and his wife, Dorothy, have two daughters -- Beverly Ann McDonald of Perris, Calif., and Norine Wrobel of Walnutport -- and four grandsons. "It will stay in the family," he concludes. "Whoever wants it is going to get it."
I have a few modern commemorative coins that I purchased from Guy. I have built a pretty nice collection of commemorative dollars. Most of them are pretty reasonably priced. They certainly make a beautiful collection.
Wow do YOU ship to NY??? Plz let me know.I WHOULD like 3 Assorted Rounds..Wish I was there THAT BOX of Rounds Are at a very Reasonable price..And I love To collect A variety of Different Rounds. Thanks for all that eye Candy !!.
The problem with selling Peace dollars and Morgans is, just like Coin Guy, they only want to pay silver value plus a little, but then they sell it for numismatic value. JM Bullion does the same thing. They buy at silver value and sell at numismatic value.
What do you recommend then, private sales or dealers? I'm trying to complete the Peace Dollars (call me weird I just think the Peace dollar is a beautiful coin and I think the Morgan is ugly). I know I'm getting screwed on premiums from dealers but I'm afraid of being totally screwed on counterfeits from private sales.
@@VaporeonEnjoyer1 You're not weird and I'm the same way. The Peace dollar is probably my favorite coin next to a Mercury dime and I'm not much of a Morgan fan. I have them and like them fine, I just prefer the Peace dollar way more. To answer your question, I think buying them from a reputable place is the way to go and I guess pay the premium, but if you ever sell, try to sell privately. That's all I can come up with. My point is, these dealers need to sell for silver value, if they buy for silver value. If they want to sell for numismatic value, then they should buy for numismatic value as well. I'm honestly surprised Coin Guy pulls that stunt as well. I thought he'd be better than that. I bought a roll of Peace dollars last spring, AU's for 25.51 a piece and silver was right around 20 an oz and even though silver has went up 6 bucks an oz, if I went and sold those back to JMB, I'd get 22.86 a piece. Literally losing 2.70 a piece even though silver went up 6 bucks an oz. That's crazy to me.
@@johndunbar2393 " The Peace dollar is probably my favorite coin next to a Mercury dime and I'm not much of a Morgan fan. I have them and like them fine, I just prefer the Peace dollar way more." Wow great minds think alike. The Mercury dime is my second favorite coin as well. Thanks for your response, I'll keep buying those stupid premiums, but when I bite the bullet on the 1921, I feel like I'm going have to go super hard and paying a serious premium getting a slabbed coin, which I usually do not buy (except for the Eisenhower silver set as most dates slabbed at 69 are around 25-30 bucks and it's not a huge collection to invest in).
@@VaporeonEnjoyer1 If there's a time to buy a slabbed coin, a 21 Peace Dollar would be it. I have yet to pick up a '21 PD myself. Good luck getting your collection finished! Take care!
Coin guy, where is the pistol? 24/7 when you have it you won't need it!!!! But think about when you don't have it??? Hope Spegtacular had you covered... or your maybe your daughter. Be safe
I have that same coin. Great coin. That building was the only thing standing when San Francisco had that major earthquake. It served as a shelter for the homeless.
Speg - Great article. I enjoy the Coin Guy interviews. If I knew any collectors, then I would share your channel. Thanks again! I did not know that about gold being hard to get your hands on. I just stack silver. And it is getting harder to get in Texas... As for California, - Don't come to Texas, we are not going to California! Just so you know 'Open Carry' has been signed into law. Effective soon.
The one thing about the RFID chiped bills discussion that makes it seem less scary is the limitations of RFID. Firstly, if you didn't wanna get picked up by a scanner, get an RFID blocking wallet, and when you store money at home, put it in a metal box/aluminum foil. Easy. Secondly, I doubt that it would be economical to get a scanner that can scan through multiple walls of a house. That device would have to be really powerful, and even then the accuracy would be questionable.
The California thing is for state employees only, thought you would have read past the first paragraph. but there is a reason everyone makes fun of Florida... 😆
I posted the info for you to see. The fact that a state stops anyone from travel is the issue here. The part where you somehow think this is ok because only certain people are restricted is the problem. How is that not persuasive? If you came to FL, you wouldn’t be laughing at us. You’d be enjoying your life ;)
@@Spegtacular they cannot smoke pot even though it has been recreational for like a decade. Same government overreach. Problem is you left the state employees part out to fit the conversation since coin guy is a hard core trumpster, still love the guy..
when he first opened the cigar band book I though thy were little boxing championship belts someone had made lol. I thought they were sew on patches when he first opened it. great video.
Awesome video and coin guys knowledge is spot on! Especially with the market info and the Orwellian instincts. His politics is pretty spot on too. Happy 4th Speg and Coin Guy! Be well guys!
I love coin guy videos! Hahaha love yours too spectacular 🤣🤝🥂😅 hope you both stay safe for the storm! Already raining south 😬 that is a REALLY cool paper there showing how much items were worth back then! I've always been fascinated by ancient coins, but don't know zip about them. Lol more so the history not the value. Side note... I feel like the cost of putting a micro-chip into bills would not be cost effective. Just as the penny/cent lost value they stopped making it in copper. 🤷♀️
all Roman coins are just so plentiful and we are always finding more as this article showed and you figure if an Emporer ruled for 20 years billions of the same coin were made with their face on it in their life tie.
that is very cheap for 31 bucks that 1 and half ounces of silver coin, wow!! you should buy them all SPEG, hehehe!!! here in Canada they carry a higher amount of premium!!
The cigar rings I think that they were tax stamps at one time like the seal on the older liquor bottles they were stamps I use to save them what is interesting all those commemorative coins I looked on another coin site they have a bunch of them also what gets me if you see a bunch of some type of coin out there you usually see them at other places
morgans are going up in value. no way i will sell them at spot price. coin guy love your show with spegtacular morgans to me are worth more than a OZ. of silver. happy forth of july
I Really Love the Videos with "The Coin Guy" as they are Super informative !! but sadly I dont care for the videos with the ugly toned silver pours that have way to many stars ! I have been subscribed to your videos for a few years and Always try to bring more watchers to you !! THANKS Jessi !!
Coin guy is truly a man of wisdom and good old fashioned common sense....
The band on cigars were to protect women’s gloves while smoking. They quickly became a form of advertising.
Also the mens!
As a woodworker, I can attest that the work on that assortment of items is extremely good. Beautiful.
When I was a kid I was with my dad when he bought a collection of coins at auction.

Yes
Indeed
Coin guy definitely makes my Friday better 😄
"Trading places"was the movie with a run on orange juice starring Dan Aykroyd and Eddie Murphy
Don’t forget Jamie lee Curtis!!,😍🥰😍🥰
Its one of my favorite movies. "It was the Dukes, it was the Dukes"
Great movie. Remember it well
"Those men wanted to have sex with me "
Spegtacular is awesome but theres something extra special about the Coin Guy videos. I hope you both have a wonderful Independence Day.
This guy gets more famous all the time and rightfully so. Gotta love a Guy vid 🙂
Thank you Speg, Coin Guy is awesome
Love the "Coin Guy" He needs silver rounds with him on them!

A pound of black pepper is worth the same amount as 800 eggs....wow that's crazy.
Black pepper was worth more than gold back in the day...
I thought the same thing, must have been rare and hard to get

If you came to FL, you wouldn’t be laughing at us. You’d be enjoying your life ;)
@@Spegtacular they cannot smoke pot even though it has been recreational for like a decade. Same government overreach.
Problem is you left the state employees part out to fit the conversation since coin guy is a hard core trumpster, still love the guy..
Dude, it literally says state travel in the photo I posted. Are you arguing just to argue? Knock it off.
🪙 COIN GUY ROCKS!! VERY INTERESTING!! 🙂👍
Thank you gentlemen for the video.

good to see Mr. Guy !!
Awesome video and coin guys knowledge is spot on! Especially with the market info and the Orwellian instincts. His politics is pretty spot on too. Happy 4th Speg and Coin Guy! Be well guys!
I love coin guy videos! Hahaha love yours too spectacular 🤣🤝🥂😅 hope you both stay safe for the storm! Already raining south 😬 that is a REALLY cool paper there showing how much items were worth back then! I've always been fascinated by ancient coins, but don't know zip about them. Lol more so the history not the value. Side note... I feel like the cost of putting a micro-chip into bills would not be cost effective. Just as the penny/cent lost value they stopped making it in copper. 🤷♀️
I like cigar boxes also some of them are just truly amazing
Zebra wood I think it’s the most expensive oil around beautiful the thing with holes in them is incense burner Maybe
The owl is to protects shops
all Roman coins are just so plentiful and we are always finding more as this article showed and you figure if an Emporer ruled for 20 years billions of the same coin were made with their face on it in their life tie.
I love that old mint coin!
Coin Guy' Is The MAN! Thanks for the video...

Coin guy for president , whoooo
What is "a few bucks" coin guy? I like the cigar wrappers
The cigar rings I think that they were tax stamps at one time like the seal on the older liquor bottles they were stamps I use to save them what is interesting all those commemorative coins I looked on another coin site they have a bunch of them also what gets me if you see a bunch of some type of coin out there you usually see them at other places
Love the Coin Guy!
