[QUOTE="Nyatii, post: 3296455, member: 85686"]I couldn't agree more with your assessment of the youtube coin videos. It took me a few whiles to realize what was going on when I first started watching them. I have collected coins off and on since 4th grade when I would walk up to the local grocer to see if he had any steel pennies. Not big time collecting, but an interesting aside to eyeballing girls and riding my bike. What Youtube did for me, was lead me to CoinTalk. It started with watching CRH for half dollars. I did it for fun not expecting to find anything big, and would set aside the nicest of the halves each week. Not because they were valuable, but it gave me a reason to set aside money. This led me to question some of the anomalies that I was finding. Most being machine doubling. My first post to coin talk asked just that. I had found a clad Kennedy and questioned if it was doubling. The members here taught and instructed me in what I had and the difference in Die Doubling. This then lead me to sitting back and watching what others posted and to see if I could decipher what they had before reading the members answers. Kind of learning thru osmosis. This then lead me to the "Dark Side" which I have been eternally grateful. So, you see, for me YouTube had a positive side.[/QUOTE]
