With 2019 fast approaching, I am curious as to what people think will be the hot newbie topics.

All of the above?

 

Only the YouTubers with their sound Numismatic knowledge would be able to determine that.

 

Pretty much the same as it's been in 2018.... and 2017, 2016, 2015 and so on, just a little worse and with more attitude.

 

"Second verse, same as the first,
A little bit louder and a little bit worse."

 

Variety folks are getting better, then the past ...
Lets hope this keeps up ......

I'll be in heaven ..............

 

One thing is certain - it will NOT be continuous threads praising the American Innovations Dollar Coin series. Who wants the other side of this action?

 

Is my "shinny" 1990 cent a long-lost no-S impaired proof? That one ALWAYS pegs my blood pressure.

 

OH MY GOD I FOUND THIS COIN IN A PARKING LOT AND IT IS A CRAZY RARE ERROR AND WORTH A MILLION DOLLARS!!!!!!

What, you say it isn't? You say it's damaged? You say it isn't even worth a cent?

Edited: Please read the rules on abbrev. and symbols in posts. i read an article on the interwebs about super rare erorrs and know i now moar then alll of u combined and i will sumbit it too the gr8ters and it will come bak as a sooper rare errooor and you will weep teers of blood that you did not find it first you suckers!!!!! HAHAHAHA

 

So once again, are you ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN you want to take the 'net side in the shows vs. 'net thing?

 

Well played...

 

I've never been a dealer at a show. But I've seen dealers at shows. They get plenty of these same type of inquiries. This is not a show vs 'net thing - this is an educated vs uneducated thing.

Just so happens it is a heck of a lot easier to ask a question on a website than it is to travel to a show to ask a question. So there's a lot more of these questions.

But, if you learn how to filter them out, they aren't really a big deal.

 

Apparently doubled dies are everywhere according to the posts I have been seeing here. Also the nearly microscopic "errors" just kill me. I have enough trouble seeing the coins without my reading glasses.

 

Investment idea - USB microscopes. They can't get enough of them.

 

I can tell you that Mint error coins are becoming more popular at the monthly shows I attend, especially major error types (pre-1980 off centers, wrong planchet, wrong stock, double struck coins, major broadstrikes, etc.).

 

Agreed. If you need a 10x to see it, who cares.

 

Of course, I like to think I single-handedly have driven up prices on major Mint errors.

 

Where can I get a 9.99x scope?

 

Only the "real" ones. Nothing that has anything to do with most of what is posted here.
