Good stuff for new collectors!
Rocking my "shiny-object-syndrome"!!!
Yes ... new collectors would benefit from this video.
It's good to have that out
I think that more 'credible' info should be available to new collectors, which I guess with the internet it is.
[But it is intertwined with much more bad info]

told my girlfriend this guy shared that a common misconception is that collecting is a solitary hobby for nerds and she's like "what's the misconception?" 😂😳
I truly get that comment

Buy low, sell high, no matter how long it takes. Or buy medium and the coin just stays there. Or as one dealer told me years ago when people sell, buy, when people buy, sell.
@1630Boston .... Thanks for the video... will help many collectors. Cheers, RickO
Please explain what information in the video was not credible or correct.
I like #3 — "You can make a lot of money by collecting coins"
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
What I meant to say is "I think that more 'credible' info [as depicted in the video] should be available to new collectors"
I was responding to jimnight's comment, agreeing with his comment.
sorry for any confusion.

Thanks so much for replying. I don't want bad information getting out, hence my question.
He looks and sounds like someone who could be called a dreamcrusher! Lol/only kidding
Coin collecting isn't even the worst and most stigmatized hobby. Try being a bus enthusiast or a rail enthusiast. At least when people know you enjoy coins, they think you know where the money is at. Bus and rail enthusiasts often are judged to be weird people and there's actually a larger share of people with Autism Spectrum Disorders in that hobby than in coins. I collected NYC area bus and train timetables for a while and my knowledge of NYC metro area buses and trains are greater than most people and believe me that I was ashamed to admit I had an interest in buses and trains and would actively deny it.
@olympicsos youd be welcomed here in minneapolis - I know many well-regarded bus and train enthusiasts here - or maybe were all solitary nerds 🤔🤔🤔
