as they say on another bbs - "I want my 6 minutes back" from watching the whole video. You think he would research his topic. Not knowing if Clinton can be on a later issue.  |

To put it into a fun perspective:
I paid for a loaf of prosciutto bread and some pastries today with 9 Suzies and the cashier (she couldn't be more than 19) counted them out and said "That's only $2.25. Your total's $8.50."... :-)
I told her, with a polite grin, "Take a closer look at those coins I handed you." And her eyes went wide for a few moments in puzzlement as she turned them over in her hands. After a beat, her co-worker (someone who knows I tend to pay in $1 coins) elbowed her gently and said, "Psst! Those are a dollar each" to which she (the cashier) replied in amazement, "I've never seen these before!"
After she gave me my change, I tossed an extra Suzie into the tip jar and on my way out saw her in the reflection of the glass door eagerly grab a $1 bill out of her own wallet and go digging through the can to find it.
It's the little things in life that make you smile. :-)
Anyroads, the guy in this video at least could name who was on the blasted coin, so he deserves at least 1 brownie point.

What annoys me is that he calls each one silver, he's tainting people's knowledge by saying that. ---> Guy gets Eisenhower, SBA, Sacagawea and Presidential dollars in change : ``Wow, these are all silver because that intelligent dude said they were.`` |

On a related note While watching that tripe I noticed a video that said 100 Morgan dollars. Just a short video of someone rearranging stacks of Morgans. What is an Wow point is at the 11 second mark where he has a DMPL Morgan that hes treating like all the others lower grade coins. This person obviously knows nothing about coins and seems only concerned with the quantity. Freaks me out. See it here; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mxA9...ture=related |

@mwr1550 Aye I saw that one too. Regrettably, some people only care about the silver and either 1) don't give a rat's cojones about anything else or 2) don't think to ask "Gee, I have a lot of these. What else is out there I can learn about them?"
'Tis sadness.

Good grief. I could only stand 45 seconds of that guy.
Yep, anyone can make a youtube video. That doesn't mean they're any good tho.

The video is called money talks... i'd wish the money would talk some "cents" into the guy.

At the part where he said notice how the OBVERSE is different on the Bicentenial issue, and showed the REVERSE - that's where I checked out!

If you're going to make a you tube video...learn about the subject matter before you make it. 30 minutes on Google would have resolved most of the stuff he was unsure about.
