I haven't been collecting for long but I waited tables half my life and my dad would tell me what to look for . I HAVE BEEN WATCHING YOU for a while now and i listen to you!! Thank you for helping so much!!

It was very kind of you Daniel, to point all of this out to my fellow coin collectors, in hopes of them not being scammed for lack of knowledge. Yes, it's very king of you, and I personally want to thank you for being so kind in doing so. Much luck to you always, and may you find that very special coin your looking for that would fulfill all your coin hunting assperations. It takes a very special kind of person to be concerned with what happens to strangers; I'd say a loving and kind hearted person to say the least. Best of luck to you and yours, you obviously deserve nothing less! Take care Daniel and, good luck!

I been in coins over 30 years, great video, this helps everyone in the numesmatic industry as both a hobby and or investment

Amazing video. I've been collecting for years and just now decided to start looking at my coins and trying to understand the differences of errors and coins to look for. I'm so glad you guys call these people out. They need to be stopped robbing people of what they think is real and being scammed.

Great Video, Daniel. You are my personal teacher as a Newbie collector. You get right to the point, and your knowledge of coins is unsurpassed to ALL others on KZfaq. Thank you, thank you!! Keep doing what you're doing, I have so much to learn :-)

i love going to wreaking yard & pull carpets up & back seats today i got 2 64 D & P nickels plus a 64 D penny & a bunch of others. but i did do my first 4 bank rolls & i dont look for damage coins i look for errors & i do weight everything. & i do watch & lesson to your videos thanks for helping me & many of others

Knowledge is what it’s all about. The more you know the more you show. Let’s rock coin people.

I apologize on behalf of the human race that you had to make that video. I still watched the entire thing, making sure there wasn’t something I could learn. Thank you for all you do.

Professor Daniel, nobody is more instructive in the field of numismatics than you sir, and I do watch a number of videos.Thank you.

Knowledge is power so thanks a million!! I'm new at this but am already intrigued. Coin collecting is a fascinating and realistic hobby that could change your life!

That was a great video! I've been messing around with coins and the Red Book since I was a teen. Even though I knew most of the information in this video, it's still nice to see and freshen up the knowledge on. A great video for people just getting into coin collecting, or even people expanding their collections to rarities and errors. Thanks!

If you want to be a coin expert, buy The Big Red Coin Book. Not sure if that's the exact name of the book, but it's close. It cost around 220 or 50 bucks. You may be able to find a year old one cheap. Thanks for the info, Daniel.

I can tell you from my experience that searching for DD, Mint errors and everything in between can be overwhelming sometimes. I really do appreciate Daniel and his knowledge.

OMG! lol, this is great stuff. You're awesome for earnestly trying to push past language barriers and show people how they can determine what is an error coin and what is a damaged coin. I can tell (actually I'm picturing this in my head) that your trying to tell someone that their coin is damaged and they are refuting what your trying to tell them. This probably happens all the time, and it frustrates the heck out of you. You're seeing it more in boards and forums and it just fuels the fire. Keep in mind that there are always going to be people out there that are just looking at how much they can make off coins. They really don't care about the beauty of coins, the history of them, nor do they want to learn or understand them. Your doing a great job, keep it up! I'm learning a lot of stuff and hopefully one of these videos will break the through to some people and they'll 'see' what your trying to share with them. :) Cheers! .

Thank you Daniel, I started collecting when I was in my teens, I was always fascinated with coins and money, my collection was stolen by a family member and I lost interest. During Covid I started collecting again and I’m learning so much, thank you for sharing your knowledge.

This is very informative!! Thank you for pulling these examples together, Daniel!! I'm new & have learned so much from you!

Man I love your videos! So informative!! I wish we lived close so I could go to your shop.. Maybe learn a few things in person.. Truth be told you remind me of my late Dad who we was into coins; got too sick to teach as much as he wanted.. Keep up the great work!!

Thank you. I was looking for your answers. I appreciate all the many examples of damaged not mint errors.

"I own em, I have em, I can create em..." I felt that. When I was young, I would be amazed at anything different about a coin. I agree, when uneducated about the way coins are minted, it's very easy to think a coin has an error. Personally it was easier to deal with the disappointment of being wrong when you learn how coins are minted vs being told every single error you find is not an error. Thank you man for really trying to teach people the right way to collect, not by telling them what to collect, but more like what to avoid when collecting. I hope that all made sense lol. Have a great weekend Daniel

Great information for me because I have a few of these coins and figured they are damaged , not errors. This video confirms my suspicion.

During WWII, my father passed the boredom, aboard the USS New Jersey, by using a spoon to repeatedly taping a Panamanian Balboa and eventually made his wedding ring.

Thank you so much for this post Daniel. An excellent demonstration of examples of coins that were subjected to becoming D.R.T. (Destroyed Right There)..Well done!

I have a bucket of junk copper pennies, save copper. The junk Zinc pennies can't even go through the Coinstar; best to flatten them and use for jewelry or throw them in trash can. You can melt war nickels, but way try because it's only 30% silver and trying to remove the slag is never easy. To smelt silver junk coins you need a furnace and lots of coin to make bars and rounds, very expensive. But everyone needs a hobby lol. Nice video Daniel!!

Thank you for this great content! They should make everyone on Etsy sell graded coins only! This would eliminate all the fake error coins!

Thank you so much for showing us about coins and how or what to look for . Appreciate all you do for us and inform us about coins , damage , value . 🙏🤗❤️🙏

I have to admit over the 30 years of collecting and searching coins I always put out the dryer coins thank you my friend for this helpful information video.

I’m just learning and your knowledge has helped me to understand more . I’ve still got a lot to learn and thank you so much for sharing! 😊

Great video, thank you. I was aware of most of it, but my naive self, did not realise that people are trying to make money from purposely damaged coins. I appreciate the heads up. Will check out the help forum as well.👍😊🇨🇦

Thank you again for teaching me sir. I appreciate the help and saving me the time of staring at damage coins for nothing lol

great info, perfect example right now on Ebay is a "finger print cent" someone is trying to sell a 2014 cent with a fingerprint on it for $80. i saw it and thought no one is stupid enough to buy it. but after watching this video i worry someone might buy it. as always great video!

Thanks Daniel for educating us about coins! I have learned so much from your videos! All the best!

7:52 Thank you for this photo. I found a dime in a new Dime Roll with a hole in the middle. I have searched everywhere for examples of this type of damage. You are right, definitely not a mint error, your dime example, is exactly the same.

Half way through the video, the coin with the hole in the center looks like it was shot with a 22 caliber gun and that’s why the reverse had a nipple type protrusion to it. My husband has several just like that one, ones that he shot with a 22 rifle himself. They look identical to yours unless yours have the drill marks scratch inside the rim of the hole. Amazing the damage coins endure. You video was very helpful thank you.

Thank you so much! Today 7/24/23, I took a trip to BOA in No. Providence RI. One $10 roll of quarters an at least $7 was pounded so phony😢? I am very new, your video has just opened my eyes and I am so angry about this BUNCH OF BANK ROLLED JUNK... So thank you so much! I truly just got beat out of my money.. So folk take his word and be on 😮 alert. 🤔

👍Thanks for the pointers and for sharing this info. Have an excellent day everyone!

Wow, this video is very informative. I’m a new collector, thank you!

Great advice Daniel. Btw the magnifying glass only appears in the desktop (browser) version of KZfaq, sadly not the app version.

I have a 2002 error penny that has 2019 date on it! Gonna make a fortune on etsy $$$. Thanks, have a great day Daniel.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I enjoy the education. Thanks for taking the time to share with all of us.

New to the channel, your tutorials are very informative and most helpful. Trying to go on your community page from the link in the description below. I have a 1982 3.1 with no mint mink and I also have a few 2.8 are these varieties common?

I really like what you have done for coin collecting. I will be purchasing from your store in the future to help support what you do. Unfortunately, I am on a family event mission in Canada. Will do this when I get back to Texas. I did find a Canadian here that sold me some Morgan Dollars at $22.50 a coin so I got a great deal. See ya soon Mr. Daniel, thanks for everything you do.

I’m an absolute beginner and wouldn’t think twice about any of those coins. It’s pretty clear the difference between mint errors and sanding or drilling or filing. I’m sure you’re making this video for the more… hopeful…. Beginners but none of those would have fooled me. On the other hand in another video you stated what someone thought was a double die was actually die wear or something of the sort. I’d like to see some examples of that as I have quite a few coins I think may be double die but it’s more like “letters outlined slightly off” if that makes sense. Edit:Edit: now watching the video you made about this question. Thanks!!

I search halves. When I find any of the known errors, it always comes with the apprehension that the good ole ring 'o death in going to make it worthless. Those poor halves have been machens sorted so many times it's on a lot of them.

Just joined the forum and posted something interesting I found. Thanks Daniel!

Right you are right Daniel those are not mint errors ppl need to start listening to you instead of arguing with you.. through my experience when you find a mint error what ppl don’t understand a error all of the devices will be raised the same it’s unmistakable I had to teach myself like I tell ppl God put ears on you for a reason all you have to do is listen.. ppl now days will argue with a fence post I don’t get it But Daniel you have a lot of patience God Bless you Brother..

As always educating all of us. Thanks for teaching us in all your videos

Excellent upload, Daniel! Really like these long form show-n-tell videos that you do! Your desire to share your knowledge and educate others is to be admired!

Thank u I've found a few errors but I don't think I've seen any u shown. I think it's a disgrace to the Hobby to have this fraud Taking advantage of those still learning they should be charged as such. I hope we do put these thieves out of business I think it's important to have professionals like u to help the generations to come and keep this Hobby booming 💥

😂😂😂 how embarrassing for the person who was arguing with you shame on them because u r such an amazing person for the coin collector hobby thx for always being honest ❤😊 greatly appreciated

Thank you very much for showing us them coins they helped a lot

😂, I'm with you on this video info ❤, I'm just amazed at what someone would try to create a mint error. Once again thanks 👍

YOU ARE A GOOD MAN HONEST AND SINCERE

Yes they might not be mint errors but coin collecting to me is about where an what the coins have been. I might be new to collecting only 2 an half year's an first thing I learned was collect full books an collect because of the history of the coins. Even though they are Home Made Errors Some are Still Cool.. Yes the Etsy coins are a joke byfar. Your video's an Find Your Video's more valuable then 95% of other's out there. Thanks for All the Info You Give Us Wish I was Closer to be Your Apprentice lol Keep Up The Great Work

Thank you for the information. I'm new to this. Just this year.

Daniel I almost cried seeing that 1863 ruined like that

I am so glad I come across this video. I have learned a lot from your video Thank you.

Your video helps me educate more about errors and variety.

During WWII, my dad served aboard the U.S.S. New Jersey. When he had time he'd tap on a '34 Balboa and made his wedding ring out of it. He had me try my hand at it but I was to anxious and 6 years old, I bent it. Silver was in everyone's pocket all the time back in the day. I think I just threw it away, like an idiot.

By far this was one of the best vids, and I really needed the edu...on this topic.

I have watched 500 different videos trying to get the information I needed from this one video. 👍

Thank you I really love your videos there filled with so much real in formation ,thank you

I have a penny that's basically a blank planchet but there's a small amount of the penny was stamped and it was the side opposite the date but less than a quarter shows and it is bigger than a penny because of the stamp.there is no price guide for no date ones that have a small part of the coin. Its the liberty side of the penny. Its copper and have a blank planchet thats more modern. Never graded em.

Thank you for the Knowledge it helps a lot

Thank you for sharing your damaged coin collection Daniel! I have a small collection myself and will soon post a first coin for review! Again great stuff you post! 👍

I have directed a few customers to your vidios just so they know someone knows the difference thank you Daniel

I have finally decided that when someone replies to my comment trying to sell me any coins I am going to encourage them to list them on eBay or Etsy. I am so done with those who keep trying to sell me their pocket change just because I comment on your videos. No fault of your Daniel, I will continue to comment when warranted. Love your sharing of the knowledge.

Thank you!!! You just taught me HEAPS!

I consider those coins a form of art because they were created fabulous video Daniel enjoy your day.

I am I guess a new old guy collector.Your info will sure help me .Thank you.

Most important statement in the video "track record". Need history and provenance to be valuable. Thanks Daniel

Great video,you are teaching me so much about coin collecting.Keep up the great work.

That’s true the more you can learn the better off you are and I was impressed with some of the things that you had showed me on what you had done those coins to make them look like you know, there were rare or special cones that were made like that from the factory But now since I seen what you talking about, makes a lot more sense is those type of people that making it hard for the people like me and other that we’re trying to do this the right way you know it sucks not right, but life ain’t always right, but hopefully that’ll put a stop to a lot of it so anyway thank you for the video and good luck to you

Morning Daniel! 🍵 Not hard to see that those weren't mint errors. My lingering question is whether or not the Mint's work quality is diminishing?

This guy is exactly Right!

👀 GREAT INFORMATION! ☝✔ Peeps need to do their homework. Thanks for sharing.

Very educational video thanks for sharing nice show

Why would anybody want to read things? They may learn something. Great information Sir Daniel! Your knowledge is very valuable to me and others! Have a great day!

So educational! Thanks so much this is very very helpful!

More of "Dealing with the Public" 101. Be patient, be tolerant, be well-armed, stupid people do stupid things. If everybody was the same this would be a very dull place, but why do they have to come to MY store? Sigh...

Yes your right thanks for sharing

1995 Quarter philadelphia It's tour up and damaged , found it in a roll of quarters. Don't knw if it's from the mint that way. It's smooth but torn up on the edge see copper under the finish layer.

Wonderful info regarding Errors...

Thanks for the information you shared.

This was very helpful, I appreciate what you do

Good vid Daniel. Keep giving the good info and people can learn. Thank You.

Great video Daniel. Thank you for all the great information.

Awesome video and thanks for putting together and sharing. I keep all the damaged coins I find too.

Less then 2 minutes in and you already took a BIG dump on ANACS! GREAT VIDEO! Next make a vid on what is an error also.

Thank You for talking about this with us 🙂 Daniel You are the best 😎

Thanks for showing a mistake in plastic that nobody can see!

Thank you for making this video. I am going to check your website now

You teach a good information sir your great.

Glad I found this video. I ❤️❤️❤️❤️damaged coins like this I do keep them in a bad coin book.

Can't fault a new coin collector for trying to find that new discovery coin, but I understand the point. You always provide great info for us new coin collectors thank you

This is interesting because I bought bags of coins from a individual. There a few coins that are tampered with 😊

am really greatful for all the thing I have learned

I've been collecting for a long time, I love coins. Why anyone would waste .11 and a bunch of time to do it , is just beyond me.

That looks like a fun box to go through. Lol

Good Morning Daniel!!🍵 They are like soda pop with the fizz shaken out of it!! And seriously Daniel, I don't understand the bias against toning! Other than those "gone wrong" exceptions, I think it's beautiful!!

Some of those damaged coins may have been used as shims to level heavy furniture or machinery.
