    False alarm. It was an April fools joke and I fell for it. :-/

    They had me for about three sentences, which, given a much too practiced BS meter, is quite an accomplishment.

    I was totally aghast until I started reading the comments at the bottom of the article and saw it was indeed a joke.

    If it was a US Government grant, then I'd believe it.

    Nicely done, although it would have been much more believable if they had cleaned a previously darkened Gallery Mint Wreath Cent in the video.

    I saw the post on "E-Syllum". When I realized that it was a April Fools prank I immediately
    went to the emergency room to have the hook removed and get my tetanus shot. I even
    E-mailed Wayne before I figured things out. Wayne will probably revoke my subscription
    to the newsletter.

    Yeah....You might claim I just don't have a sense of humor...



    But having that video available for a complete novice to stumble upon just doesn't seem like a good idea. The video itself really has no hint of it being the farce that it was intended to be. It looks like an instructional video if you don't have the background knowledge....



    Hope they either remove it, or add a disclaimer, or SOMETHING.

    The video does have "Happy April Fools 2016" near the beginning but I agree that video could do some real damage.

    I used the "contact" link to bring it to their attention.

    It should be removed.

    It won't be very funny when some neophyte partially views that video and then decides it would be a good idea to clean their family keepsake collection of large cents too. Genius prank.
