Error Coins & Error Coin Guides
I see there are a lot of kids on here making accusations that what I am saying is not correct, or the intent is to ban books, and so forth. If you want to read a book filled with inaccuracies, misleading statements be my guest, go on Amazon and buy one of these books.
I was trying to be helpful. I am not posting with here again with little kids.
I have over 6200 views on YouTube with 94% likes - The video is restricted to over 18.
I am amazed at the lack of control Amazon has over the books that are created with self-publishing for coins. I have purchased every book that gets into a particular category for coins and found that 99% of are inaccurate, copied from the internet, plagiarized, and misleading. Amazon allows fake bios, and fake editorials.
These books are so bad I created a YouTube video calling them out. You should be able to find Fred Wright on YouTube. Any real collector needs to read this garbage on Amazon and leave educated comments. I have also included the only legitimate authors.
How do I know? I investigate with Coin World, PCGS, NGC, ANA, CONNECA and validate everything I say.

Hot take, 90% of the stuff on the internet is BS. Like that somehow doesn’t mirror the real world and stuff that come out of peoples mouths.

As soon as I saw the username I thought, here is a thread that is unlikely to go well from a new user who is probably not an expert.
Edit: I stand by my knee jerk reaction.
Just so we can rule something out real quick, was this one of the books by any chance?

@Lermish The videos on that channel made me laugh out loud - thank you!
Here's one example:

That being said, I think the channel below is the one that belongs to our OP:

@ErrorCoinExpert You have a soothing voice and your videos have an ASMR-like quality; I can see people legitimately using them for relaxation. But if conveying information is your primary goal, have you considered that print may be a better medium?
Ah, you're right. The problem is, I had to choose between Fred Wright and Drew Wright...which is correct based on the typo? Unfortunately, D, F, & W are all fairly close on the keyboard so I had to guess, and I guessed wrong.
Some days... I should just stay off the forum
