Bought the Palladium proof......didn’t open it.......flipped it on eBay........made $700.........bought silver and gold. Great video! Very informative!!! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
I had NEVER flipped a coin before, but this was almost a no-brainer! After discussing it with Mrs. Yankee Stacking, I was ready to click at exactly noon. Then, when I got the confirmation after a few tense minutes, I had to talk with the Mrs AGAIN about NOT taking the $100. A much more experienced eBay Flipper helped me get it sold. What an experience!!! Not sure I’ll ever get another chance like that again, but I’m definitely back to my normal Yankee Stacking ways!! Thanks again for a great video! 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Andrew Hart Andrew it’s amazing that they were able to produce such amazing quality on a production toggle press. They really worked hard to polish and blast those dies. I agree with you bud.
Holy crap that palladium coin is beautiful. So beautiful that after seeing it the other coins don’t look as nice. Probably should send that coin alone, might make the grader think your other coins aren’t as nice after seeing something like that.
Your hilarious, that 1884cc is definitely a ms63 but is a beautiful PL. Great coin. I really like your videos because finally a TH-camrs putting up coins i collect personally
Yeah, bud. Just super busy... buried actually. But I can see some daylight 😂 Planning on many more vids when I can come up for some air. Thanks for checking up. 👍
I in no way, shape, or form know how to grade coins, but I agree that the Morgan, Half Dollar, and Quarter should have all received a better grade. All three were spectacular looking coins, especially the Morgan. I truly like the way you present the coins in a “guess the grade” format with very clear and detailed video.
I called that CC Morgan at MS63 PL. Compare it with others you have and you will see it is not quite nice enough to be a 64. Great coin though either way! I think the Mercury dime that got a AU58 was due to the eye appeal as well, just my guess! I was up in the air on getting that Palladium Mercury coin and I wish I did it really did jump! did you happen to see how high rhodium went up! I missed that ship and it has sailed unfortunately. Sometimes life takes over along with distractions and things are missed! Awesome video as always Dr. G.
@@Dr.G Great to hear from you as well. I have been popping in here and there but I have still been picking up coins. Mainly Morgans and Indian Head cents. I have some nice ones I am going to start posting. See you on another video! Awesome luck on that Palladium piece by the way. To log on a few minutes before the sale is pretty remarkable when you just found out. I have wanted to get something and forgot the next day. Don't count on me on that one Dr. G! lol
Hahaha. You could have fast forwarded that bagged up 63 Morgan I thought was a 64 LOL. I wish I had unlimited time to make videos. When the computer doesn't crash, and I don't forget editing commands it's pretty fun. That 38 set turned out to be a lot worse than I thought. Hairlines on the semi cam half, and lots of stress ridges on the quarter killed me. Oh well it's all good, I'll pass them on down the ebay road to someone who will enjoy them. Stay warm up there buddy.
@@Dr.G I'll take that toned Merc off your hands! That thing is awesome! PCGS was off their rocker on your coins this time. But like you said, the coins are way better than the grade so just enjoy the coins!
Question: Your opinion of the purchase of the 2016w ,1/10 oz , Gold Mercury Dime, graded MS 70 for $324? It’s nice. Thx You videos are are rich. Luv them.
Excellent video all around. I really like that you go into the periodic chart and pay tribute to master sculptor A. Weinman (incidentally, his son, Robert, is also a sculptor of very high caliber and R. Weinman's designs can be seen on a number of different medals. What a remarkable story you have with the ordering of your 2018 proof Palladium Eagle....I have heard many stories of people trying to place their order at 12 noon and not being successful. I do think the coin is one of the best designed and quality coins ever minted by the US Mint. I also like your 1938 proof coins
Hey, thanks a lot for the great comment. I did read something regarding Weinman's son. I'll look more into it. And I'll definitely keep my Palladium Eagle mainly because of the story behind it's purchase and now, it even has a video about it. :) Thanks again, I really appreciate the kind words. It does takes me a lot of work to get these out.
@@Dr.G No doubt it's a lot of work....I know because I've created some videos that have some elaborate editing and yeah, for a perfectionist like me, it's a lot of work to create a video that passes my muster. So I'm sure your videos take a lot of work too....from a person who knows, I can tell. I'm subbing to your channel....keep up the fine work and yes, I'm keeping my 2018 Palladium Eagle too.
Were you able to get 2019s enhanced reverse proof silver eagle this year same way, Dr G? Lots of people were trying to get one. Crazy profit for resellers (buy at $70 from mint, sell for 1000+ on eBay). Miss your videos!
No, I was one of the ones that had it in my shopping cart but was prevented from paying for it. I'm not a silver eagle collector but for 70 bucks I figured I'd try and get one for the collection. If you look at the price history of other very high priced silver eagles over the last few years it's amazing to see how much the price falls. I feel bad for the true ASE collectors though; most of them don't have deep pockets and enjoy collecting these because it's something new and affordable. The criminal dealers and flippers are brutal. They don't care who they rob. They will steal from the rich as well as the poor. Very sad. I hope congress approves another striking so that more of these coins will get into the true collectors hands. The greed in this hobby is sickening... and embarrassing. Nice to hear from you my friend. Thanks for the comment. 👍
It is sickening indeed. Very sad for true collectors. Mine is going to PCGS unopened next week, I was really lucky to get one. Hope to see you at Long Beach in February! Take care and thx again!
AGuySomebody101 I noticed that the other day. It’s a strange metal though often large price swings. I’m not in it for the metal price though, I just like the coin. Thanks for the comment my friend.
My father bought one, and sent to get graded...came back PF69. Total bummer!!!! Trying to sell, and not having any luck on eBay. Thinking about busting out of the case and just sell with mint case...what do you think? Thanks, keep doing what you do!!!
It's a great design. Yeah, I was in the Yukon for a month this year. All went well, stopped by the ANA in Colorado springs on my way back. Great museum.
It's hard to get higher than MS-63 on those Morgan CC's ...... That proof 38 quarter looked like the the end of the run for the dies.... Lot's of flow lines with a weaker strike than normal...... Plus Tard Mon Ami ...
You're absolutely right my friend. It's interesting for me to look at the finished video now. The Morgan is obviously a 63 but at the time I was seeing something else. I think the graders must have days like that.. LOL It was common for the early Washington quarters to be weak, especially on the reverse. There just wasn't a lot of relief to begin with unfortunately. And you are sure right about the flow lines, (stress ridges/radial abrasions), whatever you prefer to call them. That die was definitely on its last leg. Really poor for a proof coin. I've noticed that the grading companies completely disregard the quality of the die when they grade coins. Some horribly made coins can get very high grades as long as they have clean fields or some nice toning. I really disagree with those grades. Thanks a lot for all your comments. I appreciate it.
Merci for the reply , I have quite a few comments on your other videos.... I have been following you for a long time...On my gardening channel also , before I started my coin channel. My wife's Dr. is a coin collector also..... Looking forward to some new videos....
Bet your even more glad about this purchase now that palladium has passed up gold. I was looking at it when it was 600-700 bucks for a while just never pulled the trigger spent all the money on gold and silver.
Over the last 5 years palladium has risen significantly, but it is very volatile in the short term. I don't sell anything anyway. I would be happy if the price went to 5 bucks, then I could buy some more for my friends. LOL
I negotiated a sale with MCM later the same day. Unopened box for $2K. $600 profit. MCM allowed me to share the vid and many in the community benefited. ;-)
Yeah, it looked like you had some good contacts working with this deal. $2K is cutting their percentage down quite a bit, I'm surprised they did that. You're always helping everyone out bud. Well done. :)
My FRIEND ! GOOD TO SEE YOU ! It has been a bit. Sweet lineup for us today bud. These are amazingly beautiful. I need to get that box on the table done and put away. It's starting to overflow, LOL. Well bud, I look forward to seeing you in the new year. Be happy and safe bud.
I just bought one, sure I way over payed for it, I just really like the coin, plan on keeping it for at 5-10 years, mine in a proof prs70 dcam NGC, if I can break even at some point I’ll get rid of it,
That cc 1884 morgan ,I would give it a ms 62 at best , that's the problem with cc's a lot of them are banged up ,I have the same date in a gsa holder ,it looks like a ms 60 , it's like the mint workers liked to throw them around.
Your big merc looked like a 70 but I thought PCGS would give it a 69 for sure. Glad I didn't bet my life. However, they were bountiful in screwing you on several of the other coins! The 63's were absolutely ridiculously low. Who knows what they're smoking over there?
@@Dr.G And we should have known when Trump got in he'd be good for business, which means prosperity, which means new cars, which means catalytic converters, which means palladium becomes more valuable than gold. How the heck did we ever miss that one!?
Hahah, there you go.... :) I am a conservative. But I wish they would have conserved the society of 1800, or even 1920. LOL. I'm afraid my time has passed. The coins are a great connection though.
@@Dr.G I was re-reading "Seventeen" by Booth Tarkington, a wonderful story about a young man coming of age in pre- Great War America. (You might enjoy this book.) It has been rightly said that if such a book were written today the title would have to be changed to "Twellve." That's the pitiable truth. Conservatism has been dead for a hundred years. But you're right -- I can pick up my '09 VDB Lincoln cent and I'm right back in the day ...just wish it had an S. .....................lol
Nice job Dr G I've not seen your videos for awhile, We use to talk quite a bit before. Keep up the good work Great videos, I love your Palladium coin I also got one from the mint also grade PCGS 70 D cam I also ordered the 2007-w reverse proof of the Platinum II coin set if you remember when it come out and I also ordered 2-2007-w sets, low population and first & only platinum RP set and one set of mine was the 70 both coins reverse proof & the 70 proof of the two pcs Platinum coins in that set first strikes. Great talking to you dr. G keep up the good work brother must respect :-)🙏👍😳✌
Oh, man what a great group of coins you have. Amazing. Well done. I'm working on another couple videos. I have the coins I just need to find the time to put it all together :). But I'm still buying stuff and will show it all eventually. Nice hearing from you bud. Thanks for the nice note.
I've been super busy lately, but I've still been buying coins and other coin items. I'm working on another video, but it's a slow process. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the shout out. I've read that some dealers pay more for coins in OGP rather than slabbed. Part of the appeal of OGP is that the coins are untouched and uncertainty of whether they'll grade 69 or 70. It's cool that you compared a proof Merc dime to the proof Pd Eagle.
Hello Dr G I just stubbed over your videos . I have watched many of them and enjoyed them . Keep up the good work . I do have a question for you . How much should you ask when selling a PCGS slabbed coin from there market price value ? Thanks for your help !
I've only sold a few coins, and I just ask a few bucks less than the others on ebay. I'm not a dealer and don't collect for profit, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. Thanks for the great comment Clint.
I buy coins from all over. Ebay, Heritage auctions, coin shows, even Instagram. And I get lots of duds, but Ebay usually allows returns. Thanks for the comment. 👍
Hi Dr. G. Congrats on your spectacular Palladium Eagle graded at PF70. How lucky you were that you were able to purchase the coin in the extremely isolated location with very limited resources at the right time. That is fantastic. Thanks for all your educational material on both Platinum, Palladium, and the history of the design. I learn a lot each time. In return, I would like to share one extra piece of info for both Platinum and Palladium from the chemistry point of view. The respective boiling and melting point for platinum at ~3825 deg C and ~1768.4 deg C are higher than Palladium at ~2963 deg C and ~1554.9 deg C. Its higher values over Pd is due to two factors : 1) The better packing efficiency of Pt in terms of its higher density than Pd and 2) Based on their electron configurations, Pt has 1 valence electron in the outer shell (6s) while Pd does not have any valence electrons in its outer shell (5s). Thus, the valence electron of Pt are delocalized to form stronger metallic bond than Pd. Now you know which one you should melt first if you do need to use the metal. lol Thanks for sharing your great video.
Cool. That lone electron out there in that last energy level makes all the difference. The "Velcro" electron LOL. I love the Noble metals...Thanks for the comment. Science is so fun. :)
Sweet coins love the palladium I would not sell that one at all it's only going to go up in value but I like your certified coins that's all I get except for my generic silver and gold Love you video thank you for sharing
Thanks a lot Russell, buying certified coins sure takes the gamble out of it. You never know what you'll get buying raw coins. Every once in a while thought, you get a real beauty. :) I appreciate the comment.
Hey Alex, That is a cool set, but I probably wouldn't get them graded. It's pretty expensive and I'm not sure if the value will be that much higher if they're graded. Thanks for the comment my friend.
Whaddup G?I absolutely love your vids.Congrats on the Palladium coin,you deserve that.The 38's,they should've polished the dyes after each strike.Maybe bag marks on the Morgan kept it a 63.All stunners though.You gave me an idea for a drawing,if it turns out ok and you want it,I'll send it to you
Oh cool. Yeah, the bag marks on the obverse trumped the cool reverse on the Morgan. I'd love one of your drawings. Dr_kennyg@hotmail.com Thanks bro. Say hi to the boy.
Things are crazy over here Mike, still collecting like a madman. lol. I have lots to show but have been working on so many other things, including a few Instagram coin posts. Dr.g_coins. I'll make a new vid soon. Thanks for checking up on me bud.
Yeah, will I didn't have the money either. LOL. Put me in the hole. But at least I know I didn't "lose" money. At least not yet. :) Thanks for watching.
Congratulations on getting the PR70 palladium coin. I guessed PR66 for the 1938 Dime, but I was way off on the '38 quarter. PR63! Somebody had a bad day. I hit the 64 on the half due to the hairlines. 65 on the penny. Wear on the 1919 dime could be weakish strike. Guessed 63 on the Morgan due to bag abrasions on the obverse. Fun! and thanks.
Man you’re right on buddy. I agree with you on all accounts. The half has hairlines that are distracting on an otherwise beautiful semi cameo coin. As much as I want to ignore the hairlines they’re still there. Lol. The grade is correct. I see many proof coins with high grades covered with hairlines that make me cringe. So I can’t change that criticism because it happens to be my coin. :). The quarter does look like the die was about to be pulled for repolishing. Lots of stress ridges, but again the graders usually don’t lower for that. I’ll look for a better one. The Morgan I just had a brain fade. LOL. That is obviously a 63. It’s been a while since I have looked at one and the reverse grabbed al my attention. Morgan dollars are graded almost 100% on the condition of the obverse (which has lots of bag marks on this coin). But I was in Lala land hahahah. My mistakes are visible to everyone, but that’s part of the fun of TH-cam. :). I’ll look back years later and laugh. Grading coins for me is a lot like my golf game. One day I’ll shoot two over par and the next day I won’t be able to find the fairway hahahah. I always enjoy your comments, thanks again buddy.
@@meteoman7958 hey bud. Nice to see you. A blast from the past. I was in best buy today looking at cameras lol. I need to get the vids going again. Hope you’re well my friend.
Hey, thanks a lot Tim. I try to pack as much info as I can. It seems I'm always working against the clock. Most people don't have a very long span of attention, but I can't stop.... Hahah. Appreciate the comment. :)
Well I gained some "free" knowledge of of this one Doc !!!!!! And the coins were not bad either !!! Boy Ian will be pitching a fit in the morning !!!! LOL
Thanks again I always learn something new from you. Got to agree with Adolph Weinman being a superior artist. We have T. Roosevelt to thank for the changes in coin designs.
That Palladium coin is amazing. Congrats on the 70. Lovely PL Morgan, I immediately thought MS63PL when I saw it, just a little to much chatter in the fields on the obverse I think. Great video! I always enjoy the content you present. :)
Thanks, buddy, and you're right with the Morgan. It's been a while since I've looked at them and I must have gotten caught up with the reverse looking so good. LOL. But that's why I like doing the vids this way, you get to see the real deal. Years down the road I'll enjoy looking back at my own reactions. Learning is lots of fun for me. Thanks for the comment.
Not too sure, I hope it don't turn out to be as the same toss up as like the Royal mint did by making titanium coins for high cost going by metals of unique purposes. Now titanium is widely used in medical instruments and physical implants! Just pray palladium don't end up with the same fate
@@Dr.G it sure is! And i will get there myself. I have been at this stsckinng and coin collecting for only a few months and i have so far managaed a 2000 ms69 1/4 platinum eagle. Im sure in a few years ill be able to get the bigger items as long as i do things propperly
I hear what your saying but I'm gonna disagree. Every once and while a special item comes out. I'm no coin expert but I'm a collector of all sorts of things. I could see this one going higher in the future
@@chrisrock4428 Can you name another modern US example where this happened? Every example I can think of started out by massively increasing the price as initial demand and frenzy over the coin, then a year later was SIGNIFICANTLY off its highs. See: All Reverse Proofs, Gold Commem Walker, SLQ, and Dime, Liberty $100 metals from 2016 and 2017, ....the list goes on. I bet these coins sell for near their melt value within 12 months....but would be nice to be wrong. Using classic designs is a winning strategy for the US mint and I hope the continue.
Great video sir. I love the PD Eagle. It will be a Reverse Proof for 2019. Still no word whether it will be available in bullion version. Nice 38 silver proofs. WOW!
Adolph A. Weinman was an incredible artist. The mercury dime, and the walking liberty. I'm so glad he was working for the U.S. Mint. Classic designs. Thanks Metal Bum for the comment.
Thanks Dave, I really like that Walker. It's too bad the grade is low. You really have to look close. I didn't think it was going to hurt the grade that much, as I have seen coins in slabs with monster hairlines still getting high proof grades. I also think it was too bright. The grading companies are not liking shiny coins nowadays, they are afraid of cleaning. Dark, dark coins are getting high grades now. Who knows, maybe in 30 years bright white will be back in fashion. I guess it's a bit of a crap shoot. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend.
Hey my celebrity is back love the video thanks for the info absolutely gorgeous coin and maybe resend that Morgan???? I agree with you MS64 at least.!.!.!.! Thanks again bro man keep the videos coming!!!!!
Thanks buddy. I guess I got a little carried away with that nice reverse. Hahahah. After looking at it later, I guess 63 is not too far off. But that 38 proof set sure turned out to be a bust. I guess you can't win them all. LOL

Russia's company Norilsk Nickel ranks first among the largest palladium producers globally, accounting for 39% of the world's production.
👍 They control it.

Merci for the reply , I have quite a few comments on your other videos.... I have been following you for a long time...On my gardening channel also , before I started my coin channel. My wife's Dr. is a coin collector also..... Looking forward to some new videos....
Dr G - Love your videos... When is your next one coming out... ??? I have watched them all... Love the Unboxing Videos... Waiting on doing one myself.
Hey thanks buddy. I just saw some really cool stuff on your channel. Everyone needs to jump over there and have a look. :)
Dr. G Thanks Dr G.... From the JV Team... your vids are unreal
Bet your even more glad about this purchase now that palladium has passed up gold. I was looking at it when it was 600-700 bucks for a while just never pulled the trigger spent all the money on gold and silver.
Over the last 5 years palladium has risen significantly, but it is very volatile in the short term. I don't sell anything anyway. I would be happy if the price went to 5 bucks, then I could buy some more for my friends. LOL
I negotiated a sale with MCM later the same day. Unopened box for $2K. $600 profit. MCM allowed me to share the vid and many in the community benefited. ;-)
Yeah, it looked like you had some good contacts working with this deal. $2K is cutting their percentage down quite a bit, I'm surprised they did that. You're always helping everyone out bud. Well done. :)
My FRIEND ! GOOD TO SEE YOU ! It has been a bit. Sweet lineup for us today bud. These are amazingly beautiful. I need to get that box on the table done and put away. It's starting to overflow, LOL. Well bud, I look forward to seeing you in the new year. Be happy and safe bud.
That box is overflowing on to the floor buddy. So much cool stuff... Get on it buddy. LOL.
Badass DR g
This is a beautiful coin
Just found this video. WOW what a beautiful coin Dr G! You sure have some wonderful coins!
Thanks Dale. 😊
I just bought one, sure I way over payed for it, I just really like the coin, plan on keeping it for at 5-10 years, mine in a proof prs70 dcam NGC, if I can break even at some point I’ll get rid of it,
It's a beauty. 👍👍
Happy to see a new video.
Thanks bud.
That cc 1884 morgan ,I would give it a ms 62 at best , that's the problem with cc's a lot of them are banged up ,I have the same date in a gsa holder ,it looks like a ms 60 , it's like the mint workers liked to throw them around.
Ha, yeah. It's tough to get a nice one for sure. Thanks for the comment James.
Keep up the videos. I enjoy them!
Thanks bud. Appreciate it.
wow very sweet coins great vid
Thanks Kevin. I appreciate it. 👍
The PD Eagle is gorgeous, but out of my budget.
Yeah not not cheap unfortunately.
Another great dime.
Your big merc looked like a 70 but I thought PCGS would give it a 69 for sure. Glad I didn't bet my life. However, they were bountiful in screwing you on several of the other coins! The 63's were absolutely ridiculously low. Who knows what they're smoking over there?
Haha, yeah, it's a crap shoot. I like the big Merc. Strange metal.
@@Dr.G And we should have known when Trump got in he'd be good for business, which means prosperity, which means new cars, which means catalytic converters, which means palladium becomes more valuable than gold. How the heck did we ever miss that one!?
Hahah, there you go.... :) I am a conservative. But I wish they would have conserved the society of 1800, or even 1920. LOL. I'm afraid my time has passed. The coins are a great connection though.
@@Dr.G I was re-reading "Seventeen" by Booth Tarkington, a wonderful story about a young man coming of age in pre- Great War America. (You might enjoy this book.) It has been rightly said that if such a book were written today the title would have to be changed to "Twellve." That's the pitiable truth. Conservatism has been dead for a hundred years. But you're right -- I can pick up my '09 VDB Lincoln cent and I'm right back in the day ...just wish it had an S. .....................lol
Ha, San Francisco would definitely have been a better place to be in 1909 than Philadelphia. :). I'll check out the book. Thanks for the tip.
Grate video
Thanks buddy. Glad you liked it. :)
Wish I could grade some of my coins but I see them more like museum relics.
Interesting vid
Thanks Carl.
Nice job Dr G I've not seen your videos for awhile, We use to talk quite a bit before.
Keep up the good work Great videos, I love your Palladium coin I also got one from the mint also grade PCGS 70 D cam I also ordered the 2007-w reverse proof of the Platinum II coin set if you remember when it come out and I also ordered 2-2007-w sets, low population and first & only platinum RP set and one set of mine was the 70 both coins reverse proof & the 70 proof of the two pcs Platinum coins in that set first strikes.
Great talking to you dr. G keep up the good work brother must respect :-)🙏👍😳✌
Oh, man what a great group of coins you have. Amazing. Well done. I'm working on another couple videos. I have the coins I just need to find the time to put it all together :). But I'm still buying stuff and will show it all eventually. Nice hearing from you bud. Thanks for the nice note.
Enjoyed the show Brotha! The quarter was stunning! Preesh the fun!
Hey, thanks. I think the quarter had too many stress ridges for them. I didn't see much else wrong with it. The grader wasn't in a very good mood. LOL
great video btw do you still post videos
I've been super busy lately, but I've still been buying coins and other coin items. I'm working on another video, but it's a slow process. Thanks for watching.
no worries thanks for replying to my comment can't wait to see your next video :-) :-) :-)
when is the next video coming?
I'm working on it buddy. Little by little. :)
Thanks for the shout out. I've read that some dealers pay more for coins in OGP rather than slabbed. Part of the appeal of OGP is that the coins are untouched and uncertainty of whether they'll grade 69 or 70. It's cool that you compared a proof Merc dime to the proof Pd Eagle.
cool video
Thanks my friend.
Love your channel. Great vids.
Thanks Ron, I appreciate it.
Great coins!
Hey, thanks a lot. Glad you liked it.
Amazing coins
Thanks my friend.
Hello Dr G I just stubbed over your videos . I have watched many of them and enjoyed them . Keep up the good work . I do have a question for you . How much should you ask when selling a PCGS slabbed coin from there market price value ? Thanks for your help !
I've only sold a few coins, and I just ask a few bucks less than the others on ebay. I'm not a dealer and don't collect for profit, so I'm probably not the best person to ask. Thanks for the great comment Clint.
Where do you find/buy these coins? Do you get any duds or are they all winners?
I buy coins from all over. Ebay, Heritage auctions, coin shows, even Instagram. And I get lots of duds, but Ebay usually allows returns. Thanks for the comment. 👍
@@Dr.G right on! Thanks for the insight!!
Hi Dr. G. Congrats on your spectacular Palladium Eagle graded at PF70. How lucky you were that you were able to purchase the coin in the extremely isolated location with very limited resources at the right time. That is fantastic.
Thanks for all your educational material on both Platinum, Palladium, and the history of the design. I learn a lot each time. In return, I would like to share one extra piece of info for both Platinum and Palladium from the chemistry point of view. The respective boiling and melting point for platinum at ~3825 deg C and ~1768.4 deg C are higher than Palladium at ~2963 deg C and ~1554.9 deg C. Its higher values over Pd is due to two factors : 1) The better packing efficiency of Pt in terms of its higher density than Pd and 2) Based on their electron configurations, Pt has 1 valence electron in the outer shell (6s) while Pd does not have any valence electrons in its outer shell (5s). Thus, the valence electron of Pt are delocalized to form stronger metallic bond than Pd.
Now you know which one you should melt first if you do need to use the metal. lol Thanks for sharing your great video.
Cool. That lone electron out there in that last energy level makes all the difference. The "Velcro" electron LOL. I love the Noble metals...Thanks for the comment. Science is so fun. :)
It is indeed. So many of them are running around like in the race track. lol I feel the same way that science is an endless fun for everybody.
Great coins and video. I always enjoy watching your videos. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks buddy, I appreciate it.
I absolutely love seeing your coins and hearing your opinions!
Thanks Diana, you're very kind. :)
Sweet coins love the palladium I would not sell that one at all it's only going to go up in value but I like your certified coins that's all I get except for my generic silver and gold Love you video thank you for sharing
Thanks a lot Russell, buying certified coins sure takes the gamble out of it. You never know what you'll get buying raw coins. Every once in a while thought, you get a real beauty. :) I appreciate the comment.
I getting certified silver eagles collection all 69 and my Morgan's are all 63 cuz I can't afford to get anything better
Sounds like fun. 63's are fine. Awesome.
Hey, I am not sure if I should get the pride of two nations and get them graded with ngc, what are your thoughts
Hey Alex, That is a cool set, but I probably wouldn't get them graded. It's pretty expensive and I'm not sure if the value will be that much higher if they're graded. Thanks for the comment my friend.
Dr. G I think I will be passing on this. Not enough money to be made and with a mintage Of 110,000 it is too high
Whaddup G?I absolutely love your vids.Congrats on the Palladium coin,you deserve that.The 38's,they should've polished the dyes after each strike.Maybe bag marks on the Morgan kept it a 63.All stunners though.You gave me an idea for a drawing,if it turns out ok and you want it,I'll send it to you
Oh cool. Yeah, the bag marks on the obverse trumped the cool reverse on the Morgan. I'd love one of your drawings. Dr_kennyg@hotmail.com Thanks bro. Say hi to the boy.
@@Dr.G What's up buddy?If you want,send me an address or POBox to hodge667@gmail.com, I have something for you.My son said whaddup G?😉
very nice pieces, I like that 1938 quarter
Thanks my friend. You have some nice coins as well. :)
I have not seen any new vids from you. I hope things are good with you. Keep up the great work
Things are crazy over here Mike, still collecting like a madman. lol. I have lots to show but have been working on so many other things, including a few Instagram coin posts. Dr.g_coins. I'll make a new vid soon. Thanks for checking up on me bud.
Congrats Dr G on 7000 SUBS
Thanks bud. :)
Wish I had the jack $ to purchase, stunning coin, worth it to get graded!
Yeah, will I didn't have the money either. LOL. Put me in the hole. But at least I know I didn't "lose" money. At least not yet. :) Thanks for watching.
Dr. G 👍
Ya im about to post my PF70 on Ebay.
Good luck with it buddy. Did the other your dad bought grade 70 also?
Congratulations on getting the PR70 palladium coin. I guessed PR66 for the 1938 Dime, but I was way off on the '38 quarter. PR63! Somebody had a bad day. I hit the 64 on the half due to the hairlines. 65 on the penny. Wear on the 1919 dime could be weakish strike. Guessed 63 on the Morgan due to bag abrasions on the obverse. Fun! and thanks.
Man you’re right on buddy. I agree with you on all accounts. The half has hairlines that are distracting on an otherwise beautiful semi cameo coin. As much as I want to ignore the hairlines they’re still there. Lol. The grade is correct. I see many proof coins with high grades covered with hairlines that make me cringe. So I can’t change that criticism because it happens to be my coin. :).
The quarter does look like the die was about to be pulled for repolishing. Lots of stress ridges, but again the graders usually don’t lower for that. I’ll look for a better one. The Morgan I just had a brain fade. LOL. That is obviously a 63. It’s been a while since I have looked at one and the reverse grabbed al my attention. Morgan dollars are graded almost 100% on the condition of the obverse (which has lots of bag marks on this coin). But I was in Lala land hahahah. My mistakes are visible to everyone, but that’s part of the fun of TH-cam. :). I’ll look back years later and laugh.
Grading coins for me is a lot like my golf game. One day I’ll shoot two over par and the next day I won’t be able to find the fairway hahahah. I always enjoy your comments, thanks again buddy.
@@Dr.G I miss your videos.
@@meteoman7958 hey bud. Nice to see you. A blast from the past. I was in best buy today looking at cameras lol. I need to get the vids going again. Hope you’re well my friend.
@@Dr.G Glad to hear it. Your videos were fun and educational. I also love seeing gold dug out of the ground.
Thankyou for your knowledge I learn something every time you produce a video very good cool coin
Hey, thanks a lot Tim. I try to pack as much info as I can. It seems I'm always working against the clock. Most people don't have a very long span of attention, but I can't stop.... Hahah. Appreciate the comment. :)
Well I gained some "free" knowledge of of this one Doc !!!!!! And the coins were not bad either !!! Boy Ian will be pitching a fit in the morning !!!! LOL
Hahahahahahah
Plz make more videos
Will do buddy. Thanks.
Yay!
:)
Thanks for the tip!
You're welcome Brad. Thanks for the comment.
The Walking Liberty has the best eagle 🦅, no question.
👍👍
Stunning looking. Wow! Congrats on the purchase. :)
Thanks my friend. I got lucky with the notification.
Great video as always, the palladium eagle is beautiful, it makes the gorgeous design stand out proudly.
You’re right Bruce. A great design, jumbo size. Very easy to appreciate. Thanks for the comment:)
Gorgeous 38 Proofs, Dr. G! That proof Walking Liberty is stunning!
Yeah, I think it's nice. I guess the hairlines knocked it down, but really don't know. Oh, well, back to the drawing board. LOL
hi DR G. WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE NEW UP DATE VIDO LOVE THEM
I dropped off some coins at the long beach show yesterday. When I get those back I'll make another video. Sorry for the delay. Just super busy. 👍👍
Dr. G thank you for responding I really appreciate I love the way you express each coin and history you’re awesome
Thanks bud. :)
Good to see you back! Thanks for the knowledge!
You're welcome buddy. Thanks for the comment.
Thanks again I always learn something new from you. Got to agree with Adolph Weinman being a superior artist. We have T. Roosevelt to thank for the changes in coin designs.
Thanks Brian. Yeah what a great talent he was. I’m glad he was able to get his designs minted.
If only you knew how good a buy that palladium coin would turn out to be. Weinman's Walker eagle is definitely the best.
Glad to see palladium offered with a historic design. Great addition to USA bullion.
congrats on getting that lovely coin completely agree with the eagle design being the best
Yeah, a classic design. We're lucky to have had him.
Yes was a good buy
Nice dime.
man that is a beautiful coin. new sub
Thanks my friend. I appreciate it.
That Palladium coin is amazing. Congrats on the 70. Lovely PL Morgan, I immediately thought MS63PL when I saw it, just a little to much chatter in the fields on the obverse I think.
Great video! I always enjoy the content you present. :)
Thanks, buddy, and you're right with the Morgan. It's been a while since I've looked at them and I must have gotten caught up with the reverse looking so good. LOL. But that's why I like doing the vids this way, you get to see the real deal. Years down the road I'll enjoy looking back at my own reactions. Learning is lots of fun for me. Thanks for the comment.
Not too sure, I hope it don't turn out to be as the same toss up as like the Royal mint did by making titanium coins for high cost going by metals of unique purposes. Now titanium is widely used in medical instruments and physical implants! Just pray palladium don't end up with the same fate
I just like the coin Chris. I'll never sell it anyway, it was just fun to check out the prices. Thanks for the comment.
I certainly was!!!
I cannot wait to be able to get into this level of investment! This is on my dream list.
Thanks Corey, it's quite a piece. 😊
@@Dr.G it sure is! And i will get there myself. I have been at this stsckinng and coin collecting for only a few months and i have so far managaed a 2000 ms69 1/4 platinum eagle. Im sure in a few years ill be able to get the bigger items as long as i do things propperly
Have fun with it buddy. :)
The best part of the video 0:00-22:20
Hahahahahahahaha
Great video with lots of info and beautiful coins my friend! Thanks for the show.
You're welcome Alexander. Glad you enjoyed it.
Always love your videos! If it were me, I would take a $600 profit and run :) - US moderns tend to use value over time.
I hear what your saying but I'm gonna disagree. Every once and while a special item comes out. I'm no coin expert but I'm a collector of all sorts of things. I could see this one going higher in the future
@@chrisrock4428 Can you name another modern US example where this happened? Every example I can think of started out by massively increasing the price as initial demand and frenzy over the coin, then a year later was SIGNIFICANTLY off its highs. See: All Reverse Proofs, Gold Commem Walker, SLQ, and Dime, Liberty $100 metals from 2016 and 2017, ....the list goes on. I bet these coins sell for near their melt value within 12 months....but would be nice to be wrong. Using classic designs is a winning strategy for the US mint and I hope the continue.
Great video sir. I love the PD Eagle. It will be a Reverse Proof for 2019. Still no word whether it will be available in bullion version. Nice 38 silver proofs. WOW!
Thanks my friend. I prefer the standard proof but the reverse will probably sell out as well.
Thanks man just posted video. Forgot name of artist who does those lovely eagles bro.
Adolph A. Weinman was an incredible artist. The mercury dime, and the walking liberty. I'm so glad he was working for the U.S. Mint. Classic designs. Thanks Metal Bum for the comment.
One of the best coin vids I've seen in months. That walker, wow!
Thanks Dave, I really like that Walker. It's too bad the grade is low. You really have to look close. I didn't think it was going to hurt the grade that much, as I have seen coins in slabs with monster hairlines still getting high proof grades. I also think it was too bright. The grading companies are not liking shiny coins nowadays, they are afraid of cleaning. Dark, dark coins are getting high grades now. Who knows, maybe in 30 years bright white will be back in fashion. I guess it's a bit of a crap shoot. Thanks for watching and commenting my friend.
Dr G ... you FANS are ready for another UNBOXING VIDEO... I am having withdrawals and need to see DR G 😉😂🤣
Hey my celebrity is back love the video thanks for the info absolutely gorgeous coin and maybe resend that Morgan???? I agree with you MS64 at least.!.!.!.!
Thanks again bro man keep the videos coming!!!!!
Thanks buddy. I guess I got a little carried away with that nice reverse. Hahahah. After looking at it later, I guess 63 is not too far off. But that 38 proof set sure turned out to be a bust. I guess you can't win them all. LOL
@@Dr.G
Lol no you can't when them at all lol
That proof 1938 quarter looks great. Should have graded higher than PR63.
😍👍👍👍
SILVER COINS & Дмитрий Васильев thanks buddy :)
I was lucky enough to buy one, decided to keep it
Awesome, I'm not really into bullion, but I like this one. Well done.
