<p>[QUOTE="KBBPLL, post: 7399990, member: 104064"]My observation is that there's a certain type of person drawn to YouTube for the "get rich from pocket change" stuff, which is almost always misleading. Then they jump straight to the "I have one, I'm rich" part without any interest in learning what the valuable ones really are or why, and get mad when you tell them that they aren't rich now. My pet peeve is that the handful of "No S" coins seems to have led people to start designating coins as "No Mint Mark" in titles and descriptions, as if that somehow confers the possibility of extra value. It seems like they don't realize that other than war nickels, anything prior to 1979-80 without a mint mark is just a Philadelphia coin. Maybe I'm wrong about this, but it's just "1975 dime" or "1975-P dime", not "1975 no mint mark dime". I could also be the only person that it bothers, but it seems like this started with the proliferation of YouTube coin videos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
