<p>[QUOTE="Randy Abercrombie, post: 3592102, member: 92655"]Having seen several recent posts about Rockwell Test finds I had to go see what the root of this new hysteria was about...... Seems a young man on YouTube that goes by the handle of TexCoin has quite the knack for finding (creating?) cents with divots in them and posting narrated videos claiming these things are worth hundreds of dollars. He also likes to remind his viewers that there are more out there to be found. And let me assure you, Mister TexCoin does not sound like a world renowned numismatist. Who only knows what the next valuable pocket change find will be with these guys?</p><p><br /></p><p>So I am thinking about this. I am not of the internet generation. However I am savvy enough to know that the current generation uses the web almost exclusively for their information. Thus the Rockwell Test folks along with every other manner of pocket change windfall posters will show up here only to be met with the same “oh no, here’s another one” attitude from us. Rather why don’t we take the time to remind these folks there is a wealth of art and history to be found in their coins and possibly elicit some goodwill in them? We may unknowingly create some true coin lovers in the process. Just a thought as it seems this lunacy will not end anytime soon.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
