[QUOTE="sand, post: 8326034, member: 118540"][USER=138545]@Mr Ancient Coin[/USER] Welcome to CoinTalk ancients. I agree with [USER=74712]@FitzNigel[/USER] and others. One must be careful, before clicking on a link, especially if the post is from a new person. However, 10 minutes ago, I clicked on the 1st link in the OP. But then, I thought to myself, "Perhaps I shouldn't have done that", for the above reason. However, nothing bad happened to me, as far as I know. At least, my antivirus software didn't raise any alarms. The link took me to the web site imgur.com. Here is a Wikipedia article about Imgur. I also Googled Imgur. I had never heard of it before, but it seems like a legitimate web site. [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imgur[/URL] Yes, if the OP would create a reply post, and attach full images to the post, then many more persons would look at the coins. For example, here are screen shots, from the OP 1st link, which I captured using "Alt+PrintScreen" on my computer keyboard, while the video was playing in full screen mode.
