    Honestly, do you ever post anything worth watching...or reading?

    Let me make something perfectly clear - the OP posting these YouTube videos IS NOT against the forum rules, not in any way, shape or form.

    For those of you who don't like them, you don't have to watch them - nobody is making you watch them. You don't even have to open the threads. And you have the choice, and the ability, to not even see the OP's posts and threads - all you have to do is add him to your ignore list.

    The OP has much as much right to post his videos as any other member has to make his or her own posts.

    If I'm going to criticize, I should at least look at your product. You are not 35, or something is wrong with your testosterone level, at least estimating from your voice. Fess up to your true age. Perhaps posting pictures from some price guide while you read the words might help some who haven't learned to read yet, however I doubt they have started collecting coins. Otherwise, this might appeal somewhat to very young, beginning coin collectors, few of which you will find on here.

    Crap... Nothing but utter crap as always.

    Hey, guys! Did you know that there was a "VBD", which was "added later" to the "1909 wheat pennies" that can make them more valuable? If not, its "located under the date" for those of you who didn't know this. This kind gentleman even uses his pointer to show us the location under the date where we'll find it. Oy! Oh, and that S mintmarks are "one of the more valuable mintmarks" to be found on 1909 cents; who knew?? Did you also know all the older Indian Head "pennies", those before 1875, can be very valuable ("the further you go back from there" the more valuable apparently) while those after 1875 "they're ALL worth around $1-$2 each"? Great stuff!

    A particularly nice touch, IMO, was his refusal to even plug the very forum he bombards with his self-promoting videos (instead simply suggesting a "coin identifying website"). A class act, all the way... Why bother to continue trying to educate people about this hobby when the very forum used to do so allows crap like this to stand?

    Oh, and if you don't want to watch this, ahem, "educational" video for yourself, just go to cointrackers since all he's doing is poorly rehashing their already poor information.

    Tell that to someone who may see this posted to a coin forum, watch, and think he actually knows what he's talking about.... Perhaps, after endlessly searching for the "VBD" under the date, or thinking every dealer is trying to screw them by asking more than $2 for a 77 IHC, they'll appreciate it.

    Seriously though, I would argue that countering such nonsense, even in a rather to the point and harsh manner, is infinitely more "nice" than what he, if even one person takes his advice to heart, is doing to this hobby. It is completely unnecessary and, if he cared about anything other than promoting himself, easily avoidable as well. Spending the few necessary minutes to verify his assumptions before airing them would've been a win-win for everyone, including (and especially) himself.

    And is what directed at who? When in reality it should NOT have been directed at anybody! College kids should learn - NOT spew! Sorry!

    I knew I would open a can or worms if I replied to tis thread. Maybe I don't like to say negative things about other people's work, even if it is complete crap. I prefer to hold my tongue. I apologize if this is below your brash standard.

    And because I am in college that makes you right and me wrong about everything, and I should take everything you say as law? I don't think so; I am entitled to opinions as well, and I am not always wrong as your stereotyped vision seems to think of me.

    Ok folks, question; what's the deal about this 1958D Steel Wheatie people have been talking about? Is it valuable?
