No problem. I would have to say, Boob tube is filled with more misinformation than correct information. As a newbie I would say use the search function here on Ct to learn about coins. There is a lot of good reads right here!
Like Pickin said, avoid YouTube as if the plague. It's not that all info there is bad, but just there's a hell of a lot of it, including coming from the bigger or more popular channels. As for the variety in question, perhaps @ziggy9 will share some insight. After all, who better to learn from than the man who discovered it?
