Self advertising garbage. Stay on youtube and away from here if you have nothing worthwhile to add to the forum.

 

I won't take a chance on a nickel from someone who can't spell nickel.
But that's just me.

 

I don't think you are going to last long here. SMH

 

Nickle (programming language), a numeric oriented programming language. European green woodpecker, sometimes called a nickle. Nickle Arts Museum, also known as The Nickle; see List of museums in Alberta, Canada.

Wow! So I can either win a programming language, a woodpecker, or an entire museum?! This is awesome!!!!

 

You want woodpeckers, I got 'em and you can have them all. They are destroying my hardwood trees. The other two I can't help you with.

 

Nah, I don't think so!

So... it seems you are requesting he get special treatment because he is a kid. If an adult went about doing this same thing, would you defend them so readily? On the whole I would agree with kids being a protected class. But he’s also a kid making YouTube videos about things he knows almost nothing about. Notice how he called the reverse of the coin the “back”? Or how about that “mint state buffalo nickel” from the video?



The way I see it, he’s either a conman at an early age, intentionally lying about coin grades to get more views and thus money from YouTube, something I certainly don’t want to promote and foster. Or, he’s another person ignorant of numismatics masquerading as someone who has knowledge worth listening to. That is also something I don’t want to promote or foster. Just because he’s a kid doesn’t make his lies any less dishonest. If anything, we should not want people who lie about coin grades, or who are ignorant of them but try to act like they know what they’re talking about, representing us. And how about thinking for a second that this kid is going to mail something to a complete stranger, presumably using his own mailing address on the return? Does he have his parent’s consent to all this?



To the OP, @Colby Abele I would like to say this: please stop making YouTube videos about coins until you learn more. The buffalo nickel you showed is not anything close to MS. I applaud your enthusiasm for numismatics, but you’re on the wrong path right now. Listen more, talk less. Also, reconsider mailing items to complete strangers; you’re potentially giving crooks your address after showing them the coins you own. Good luck.

 

I think there is a great deal of rude folks and/or rude attitudes on this forum, most notably to newbies and it irks me as well. I don’t advocate/support the way some of the members treated him. But I also don’t advocate cheering him on either. I recognize your effort was perhaps a balancing one, but there are a lot of red flags here.

 

@GDJMSP , is this contest not breaking at least one of the contest rules?

He's saying that the contest is not valid unless we subscribe to his Youtube channel and like his video. At least that's the way I'm hearing it.
