Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?
A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.
A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

When I was younger and not as blessed/lucky enough to have money to spend on coins I would always say "I'm a numismatist not a coin collector, which means I'm too broke-%$# to actually buy coins to collect" 😉

Btw before anyone gets too upset....J/K. I know you can collect coins without buying stuff, and yes I do agree that investments in numismatic reference material is a good choice even if you have the ka-ching to bid on Brasher Doubloons 😉

Informative! I’ve watched a number of his videos before and they are always high quality.

I wish he’d used more egregious doubled dies (1955 or 1983 Lincolns, for ex.) to illustrate the differences better.

Perhaps viewing this video and taking a quiz could be a requirement before posting here.

I have to say I like Ben the Coin Geek's Videos. He gives the informative bits without the hyping and clickbait stuff that others do. I appreciate that.

Also, I bought my 1850 Half Cent from Old Pueblo Coin and working with them was a pleasure. Two thumbs up from me.

Old Pueblo is a local shop to me, so I have some Coin Geek merch Ben and his team are excellent.
