Thank you, Daniel! Unfortunately not every coin dealer is as honest and forthright and ethical as you are. Sellers and buyers both need to self-educate and be cognizant of their own interests!

I love this guy!! I have watched all the videos I can find...he has been so very helpful - and NOW I have even MORE respect for him and his wife and crew...the way he speaks of honesty and KINDNESS!!!!!! He should speak to all peoples all over the world, every career office and every vocation! Just lovely!! And I'm so greatful he shares his knowledge - that there is also kindness shown to you and !!

This all is applicable to selling ANYTHING. You must know the subject with more than a hobby interest. You want to maximize your product and get the best that the market will bear. If you don't want to learn your product to sell then find someone you trust to help you. Great stuff Daniel.

The problem is people do and will continue to do everything you say not too. It is really more up to the BUYER to understand everything you've shared here. Great material!!. But buyers shouldn't just accept that seller is knowledgeable.

I'm in agreement with your Daniel. We also need more reputable dealers who don't try to over grade a coin.

Daniel you are about the most Honest Person in this Hobby and the Education you put out to us is nothing but You doing Your Best to help those who have the willingness to learn. You are a person that is in no way selfish and doesn't hold back or leave tid bits of information out that is crucial to understanding what this hobby is about. Thank You is all I can say.

My typical process for selling is 1: Know exactly what I have. 2: Before I look up the price I determine the grade and always go with the more conservative grade if it's a borderline grade. 3: research book prices and ebay sold listing. 4: put the price tag at 80% of that for more desirable coins and 70% for less desirable. If it's going up in the club auction that range can be anywhere from face value for the reserve and up to 80% for certed coins.

Spot on , about selling because you need money . Taught me a life lesson about saving and planning right , and managing money properly . Great video...

My favorite part of watching ur videos is you don't blow smoke u anyone backside n ur straight up. So rare nowadays. Thank u Plus there is so much to learn. ..I'm trying

I'm pretty new to your informational videos and love how you speak to us novices and are not afraid to advise us honestly! Thank you for all the information, I save every one of your videos. You're the best coin KZfaqr out there for novices. Keep the videos coming!!

I sell coins thru my coin club auction, which resolves a lot of these issues. This is because the guy that lists the lots in the auction does his own grading and estimated value of the coins. When I submit my coins to him, I put my idea of the grade and sometimes the estimated price also but he just uses his own opinion anyway in the listing. I trust his grading and estimates because I think he is better at it than I am. Usually, but not always, his estimated price is higher than mine, which is another reason why I trust him. Also, there is no need to take pictures of the coins because the coins are all displayed at the meeting so everyone can examine them for themselves. Seeing what coins sell for at an auction gives you a good idea of what the coins are worth. I generally get better prices for my coins thru the club auction than I would get from a dealer. Another of the many reasons to join a coin club!

Love so much that you consistently help people with your videos! Thanks, Daniel

Thanks man! Great video. Kindness and honesty are rare these days.

For all ,and I mean all , people thinking about buying and/or selling coins, I would highly recommend the photo grading books. Daniel is an amazing channel. He does exactly what he claims to be talking about in the title. No click bait, no hyper fixation on some of his or their coins and no salesman BS that other channels would try to shove down your throat, anything to sell you that coin or rounds or bars. If you need dependable information he would be definitely the person to go to. But after some of his videos, I wouldn’t be surprised if he gets so busy trying to answer all of the questions then he may not always have time for you. Do not ever buy from tv ads, chances are that they are selling you hyped up coins that are overpriced and over graded. Don’t buy from you tube channels that try to sell metals based on BS SHTF (shit hits the fan) or some other kind of financial meltdown, where currencies like the dollar or euro, go down to almost nothing in terms of value. Or any other type of ARMAGEDDON where you will need gold and/or silver to make purchases. Instead study up on currency fluctuations, look up for precious metal prices and history of their highs and lows of things that you might buy to see you through the cultural disasters. At least if you learn about them you can make an educated guess on what has happened in the past and what might happen in the future and I use the word MIGHT with a bit of tongue in cheek. I mean ,don’t believe everything that you think that you “know”.

Thank you for the informative video, Daniel. Recently, I was interested in a coin auction by a seller I see quite a lot of on Ebay. The photo's in the auction looked almost like negatives. They most likely revealed bag marks, etc., but displayed nothing in the way of luster, so I contacted him and asked him about the luster of the coin and/or whether it had been cleaned or dipped. His response to me was they handle so many coins that he didn't know, but he told me I should assume that all of his coins are cleaned or dipped. He told me he had a return policy, so if I didn't like the coin, I could send it back. -I declined to bid on the auction and don't plan on participating in any of his future auctions.

Excellent video! I saved it to remind myself of what needs to be done to sell coins. Just one other thought here. I have sold coins on Ebay, and it is possible to make a Little bit of money doing things honesty, and correctly...yet do not think you will make a ton of money. It is just that when you think of the labor making the picture look properly, labor writing the description, labor to package, price of packaging, Ebay fees, Paypal fees, and Auction hassle...you might do better getting your coins together and selling them to a honest Dealer.

I can think of a few television channels that should take this to heart (particularly 3,2, and 1) in addition to many online sellers.

Thank you for everything you do Daniel!

Your videos are SOOOOOO helpful and I really appreciate the time you take to create these for those of us trying to learn. Thank you sooo much!

This is the 2nd or 3rd video of his I've watched and I feel like he's a stand-up guy. I appreciate this kind of content.

Thankyou Daniel for your time and honesty.

What a fantastic video, Daniel ! You tell it the way it is brother , that’s another big reason why I like watching your videos , I am always learning something and always thankful ! ❤ CB

Great video I'm glad you're here

All though I need to sell a coin to keep going/learn about the business. Daniel you have taught me more than anyone else

Outstanding video! Thank you. Have a great day!

Thanks Daniel. I started off buying junk Morgan & Peace dollars. I was stacking for weight, not collectability. Most of my silver is in one ounce bars & rounds. I don't need to sell now (already retired), but if / when silver gets over $30.00 or more per ounce I will go to a local coin shop and sell most if not all I have.

Very good video Daniel!

Thanks Daniel !! Excellent points.

I love reasons 1 and 2 the most. Great video Daniel!👍

YOURE THE MAN DAN!! I learn ALL my stuff From YOU!! Youre THE best on YT and That’s BOTTOM LINE!!

Great video Daniel! Coin hoard! Estate sale coin! Unsearched! Should have coin info for you by the end of the week per our email conversation. Darn work keeps getting in the way 😂

Solid advice Daniel

❤ you're my favorite Daniel!. 🤗 You're the sh**!! Real talk!! Always 💯% real.

Thank you Daniel. I really enjoy your videos, learning from your expertise. Moreover, I trust you as a fellow human. :-) I also am very pleased with the purchase I made from your online store. Best wishes to you and yours.

Great job. I've always admired your integrity. And the best in the business appreciate you. I'm very proud of you.

Great advice

Thanks for good advice.

very well said ...friend thanks

Daniel yet another huge thank you is owed to you! You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink. Thank you for leading the way for us rookies. Hopefully it will sink in 😜

I agree with many of the issues that are covered. And honestly it all can be summed up to number 2&3 if you are not interested in the hobby and want to learn and make it better…….. don’t sell your own coins. Thanks again for the advice and the informative post.

Great video, I'm agree with you.

Thank you for this video

I’ve been a collector for several decades. When I have a third party graded coin that’s high quality, but there is no price guide for it because it’s an ancient or medieval or foreign coin - but it is really nice mint state or higher, I have sold my own coins online. I have not cheated or claimed the coin was something it’s not. (I have hyped the positives it actually had - like the third party mint state grade, and/or the actual population or rarity of the coin.) I’ve sold because I had purchased a higher grade or the coin no longer fit in my collection. I never lost money, because the “money” is made on the purchase end not the selling side - and I’m a careful buyer (unless I so desperately want a coin that I’m never going to be selling it!) I’m not selling as a business, but I certainly can sell my own coins when I need to.

Thank you Coin For putting out a video about how to sell your coins In the future, I want to start selling coins.

Thank you Daniel.. I'm an honest person and have a number of coins that I'm going to sell because I've lost interest in the hobby. I still check every single coin.

Yeah, I hate when sellers give little or no description and say, “Pictures are the description.”

You are the man 💪💪

SO true I see mint errors and variety's on Ebay that are wrong or over priced. My favorite is no "P"

Daniel honesty is the respect between us as collectors and friends people need to learn🤝🤝🙏

Thanks great video I haven't sold anything not worried about it I like posting when I have time live collecting an can't believe the prices people put out there I go by the red book an I look up the info

Good Morning Daniel!☕🎃

This made my night Thanks Daniel Go Astros🎉🎉🎉🎉

If you have a coin you think is valuable ,get it valued. I just started , a few months ago. I've learned sooo much. But not enough.

Very good points! Thank you. I would way rather learn about my coins before i sell them.

And dear heavens, DO NOT PUT YOUR COIN IN A SCANNER. I see people with ebay businesses using a scanner. I have learned what a good coin looks like in a scanner but most people don't. I love a picture that appears like when you look at it under a lamp because that's how you will see it. It is not going to look like the "true view" pic the grading company sent.

Dan can teach a college class on coins before I even buy a coin or sell a coin I watch a couple of his videos so I don't get ripped and the buyer don't get ripped he's right we need to get rid of all these dishonest sellers I don't have enough fingers and toes to count of how many dishonest sellers I came across you don't respect the hobby like the song says Hit the Road Jack and don't come back no more great video Dan

Hi Daniel, Brilliant video. Thanks. Just getting into coin collecting here in the UK. Can you (or anyone reading this), recommend a magnifier to attach to my IPad, so I can get nice clear images of my coins? Thanks Tom

This video was honest to god one of the most necessary coin and currency presentations for everyone invested in this hobby to watch. Everything you said here was spot on. I’m fairly new to the hobby and like everyone else watching this video got “hooked” to it pretty quickly once I discovered it. I’m taking my time, learning as much as I can with the little time I have because life is so busy. I know there’s so much to learn and would never kid myself that I’ve learned enough and now I can start moving big numbers. Slow and easy wins the race in this instance. Thanks for the blunt truth here. 👏🏼 💰

I have learned about the history. They mean so much more

Thank you, coin help you.

All common sense reasons. Thank you for pointing out what should be obvious to all.

Again Daniel , you are Right- On ! Ya all ways tell it with honesty . Again , thank you so much . Tom Daytona Beach , FL. 8, April 2024 .

At this time I don’t pan on selling my coins but if I decide to sell any I will consult with the proper companies so that I don’t say anything wrong or accidentally hurt someone monetary wise.

There is so much garbage on e-bay error coins, Almost do not want to sort through all the useless listings.

If I had to narrow it down even further I’d say heed #7 & #5. Great points all tho

This is true! Ebay and place won't pay what a real valuable coin is worth.

Believe me I've learned alot in 2018 when I became lost 3 months durin the pandemic, I learned about books & paper 💰🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😊😮 love Star Notes🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤

I am taking videos of my error collection so I can sell the whole thing. Coin collecting has changed a lot and so have I. I am going to sell it for 40k, it is worth far more graded but I don't have the time, love or resources for it anymore unfortunately. Never thought this day would come.

This could all be summed up with one single concept which seems to be rapidly becoming obsolete: Integrity - or the lack thereof.

I like 😂the eBay auctions that when u read the small print says similar or even more better yet “stock photo”. Yea right

You are what we need a honest coin dealer people like you only prosper on life

I see the word "Rare" thrown around a lot on ebay.

I've sold a number of items (not coins) on eBay. I found out the hard way that I need to limit my words to just a couple of facts and then let the photos tell the rest of the story for me. If I did sell coins, I would say what the coin is (US dime, quarter, etc.), and year. If it is in a holder, I would mention the grade on it. A potential buyer would need to look at the pictures to determine all other details. I would simply make too many beginner errors if I described it.

Great news I won’t show and give you the true description and education of my coins still learning 4show coins going too keep my band 100%

Hey I'm not so good w internet are there any books that tell u about like hub marks and adjustment marks n things of that nature to authenticate coinage n do they have them for all coins

have some old wheat steal pennys 1943 D and 1943 S would like to know should I sell them..?

There is one guy on ebay who sells tons of morgan's and lies about grades and doctor's his images. I think we all know who he is hopefully! That being said i have bought from many great sellers on ebay!

Images of coins is the largest reason I pass by coins or bills.

I feel like a large number of collections get sold by family members after the collector passes. You can't expect them to know anything about the hobby or care about it and obviously they want to try and get money out of it. Saying the hobby doesn't need them is crazy. This is the best way to get coins back in the wild. Estate sales are an amazing place to pick up coins on the cheap. Feel like you are expecting a little much.

Little understand ,i have no Idea iam not educated , thank you sir have a nice work day.🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿

I have a question how can I know what I have if I can't see it? Is there something I can use to help me identify what I have

Unfortunately, the people who need to see this aren't necessarily on You Tube. I wonder if this could be posted on all social media platforms

Good morning from Arizona Sir Daniel! I've bought several coins and graded coins. I have found errors on others but can't afford to have them graded yet. If I come to sell my coins, would you be interested in those graded? The reason I ask is Noone in my family is interested
