[QUOTE="YoloBagels, post: 6735436, member: 94739"]I started collecting in the spring of 2016 and for two years spent nearly all of my collecting time on YouTube. Began as a coin roll hunter watching channels that for the most part talked about finding errors in change. While I was really only interested in finding silver and old coins, there is a good portion of the CRH community that wants to flip errors/silvers for profit. And there isn't anything wrong with that all. It's the misinformation and exaggeration of roll hunting that many channels out there produce that is terrible for the community. You will notice many channels making clickbait vids with things like "YOU WILL FIND THIS $16K COIN IN YOUR CHANGE." And when I started collecting, making videos of seeded rolls displaying many silver coins was very popular at the time. While searching for errors in change can be fun, you need to have an extremely vast knowledge of what you are searching for and the minting process. Most of these channels do not have interest in teaching the minting process/die making process/etc. This is why we see so many newbies straight up asking if their damaged coin is an error or not. They just never learned to tell for themselves or do not care. With that said, I believe many people on coin forums have an unfair prejudice against YT. There are MANY good channels on YouTube that are either unrecognized or growing very slowly. I have seen people instantly refuse to watch anything just because of the stigma YT has. And honestly, if collectors on YouTube are misled and need guidance for collecting, why shun them out? Shouldn't we be teaching them or at the very least point them in the right direction? And BTW, here is a small list of excellent numismatic YouTube channels.
