Poll Question
I just released a new video in my series called Spare Change. The video is about the history and collecting the Franklin half dollar. I would love if you would watch the video and then rate it on how you liked the video in this poll. If you have any criticism (constructive is always best) or episodes you would like to see please let me know in the comments.

See Video Below


(PS moderators I posted the video in another topic and I am going to try to remove or if you can remove that post please do, because I have a feeling this is the best place to put the video)

***Edited by Staff to embed video***

Excellent!
If you want feedback on something to improve (and I'm being very picky here), the shot about the designer's initials is weak, meaning I couldn't see the initials. A better photo of that would have been great, but that is being very picky.
Again, excellent and thanks

Very good!

It is about time you got this one done!

One question. Is that a bust of Washington at 1:37~1:43?

As I had posted over there in the other forum string, you come off in the video as an interesting and fun kind of guy, very well done and informative. Interesting and captivating, if it were a longer video, I would have kept watching. Great job, looking forward to others.
I think you would sell more than Billy Mays if you went into the business.

I did realize that after I added the photograph but It had to stay for the video. The filter I used made it even worse to view and youtubes encoder did not help.

Yes it was Washington. Houdon did a bust of Franklin and Washington but unfortunately I could not find any public domain images of Franklin's bust so I thought it would be great just to add one of his other works to the video.


Thanks for all the input guys. I have two more videos finished for release. I will post them once they are uploaded :)

Where did you get the roll of $20 worth of halves? I had never seen that before! I thought all rolls were $10 rolls

I think its excellent. You have really good presentation skills and I've watched your other videos before.

Basically, you're able to sound enthusiastic and at ease while still being informative, and you just talk as if you were just talking to the viewers (as opposed to sounding 'forced'). You may not have covered extremely fine details, but then again, except for hardcore collectors, I don't think anyone will care.

They were from APMEX.com. They had just got them in and thought I might like to have them in the show. They should have them listed on the APMEX website soon. By the way they were 1963 D Franklin Original BU bank rolls and I had never seen anything like it myself until now



Thanks guys for embedding the video on this page!

Good, I never give a 10 leaving room at the top, so 8. Man this feels like dancing with the stars.

I would have gone 9 but deducted a point for no manicure. Great job, Mark.

Excellent video Mark but try the Digi Blue Q5 on the close up of the designer's initials it may be better,
I did enjoy it mate and thanks for posting.
