[SonicOrbStudios]

Awesome video. People hate change with new coins...or new anything haha

[gardener457]

Thank you for the vid,very informative.One question I have is how can you tell which mint the coin has come from.I have 4 Morgans 1879,84,85,and 21.

[thebigfly124]

:DDDDD

[TheChiefSteel]

you have nice videos on coin collecting Thanks

[kauaicoins]

Good video... But why are you saying Not to collect VAMs ( V.A.M's - silver dollar die varieties)???? and Why are you saying Not to collect common year Morgan Dollars??? With my knowledge I've cherry-picked common date VAM Morgans that I payed $20-$50 for, and it's true VAM value is $1,500. Knowledge is key! With knowledge, cherry-picking VAMs can be the best investment you could ever make. Now HUSH, while I turn my $20 into $1000+... can you do that??? NO! So don't dis VAMs.

[mharrigfeld]

Very informative. Thanks.

[NoSeaChusma]

My dad recently gave me a box of these coins...thanx for the lesson!

[beswick1111]

i collect 1921 morgans and there were 80million minted, does anyone know approx how many would be around as most were melted, so about 40million left? or less?

thanks anyone

[BrickerStudios]

I have a 1890 (MS-60). how much are they worth?

[AMEwrestling]

According to the 2010 Red Book, an 1890 Morgan Dollar in MS-60 is worth $40. In other words, it's a high mintage.

[BrickerStudios]

I have a 1890 (MS-60). how much are they worth?

[reginald329]

nice

[TheTreeTards]

wow

[kenrocks2]

cool!

[JannyPoohXx3]

cool video

[batbreaker1]

WOW!

[MyVideosOnYT1]

Cool!

[SCSProducts]

great choice.

[Heidelager]

A prime choice for silver bullion coins with extra collector value! The Third Reich produced millions of 90% silver coins. Each Nazi 5 Reichsmark coin weighed 13.88 g and contained exactly 12.5 g of fine silver. Almost half an ounze of silver in each coin. These coins are still readily available today! And besides their inherant value as silver bullion, they are also genuine Third Reich collectables thus adding to their value!

[David4everling]

How much would a good Morgan Dollar cost?

[Mrcrazycoasterfan]

that coin looks sweet

[eddieland577]

AWSOME!

[OriensCrew]

its a cool looking coin

[Laurels432]

[crazygamer686]

[lucus2parody]

hes right, continue your good work

[JoshiCheese]

cool videos mark keep up the good work

[nitecice]

im trying to sell one on ebay.. its a 1879 cc morgan dollar on ebay hit me up if you are interested.

[akosluk]

Cool!

[AMEwrestling]

According to what I heard, the Morgan Dollar had minted half a billion coins. After 1918, 270 million were melted. That fucking sucks, otherwise more would be available, but not to the general public. However I owned a Morgan Dollar once before, it was an 1890 in AU condition. The Morgan Dollar rules.

[SteveO812]

Enjoyed the episode, learned a lot. Collecting Canadian at the moment, but very interested in American coinage as well.

Thanks!

[JRCrowley]

Good information, thanks.

[leeandjaydenshow]

You are the best on youtube u rock!

[lat91]

PICK ME I WANNA WIN!!!

[effectsgroup]

A may have one!!

[koopashells21]

go IA!!!

[weerobot]

Excellent videos.

[jrpaint62]

The most certified coin too!! Only buy NGC, PCGS , ANACS/ICG slabbed coins. Avoid dealers who offer any other grading services. Even if they have NGC and PCGS coins too.

[dave777blaster]

Canadians are now making 100 killo gold coins

thats bulky

[doc77777777]

How does the grain conversion system work anyway?

[TadRapidly]

Mark, you might want to do at least a little research on the history and significance of Masonic symbolism, since just about every american coin ever produced is soaked in it! Numerology plays a huge role in this and is the likely reason they went from 8 to 7 feathers (regardless of the story they tell). The eagle is meant to represent the Phoenix. 13 represents the number of primary royal bloodline families, not the colonies. "Stars" are, obviously, pentagrams. It is a fascinating study...

[stermr]

More Morgan videos!

[stamina999]

you rock keep making those awesome videos nice dude

[langer1972]

If I have to say the morgan is one of the most cool looking coins ever!

[clearasvodka]

Morgans are only 90% silver. Sure, they have a collectors value but when it comes down to getting the MOST per oz for silver - pure bullion is best. Junk silver is ok but in time of panic it's not desired as much. ONLY pure silver coins and bullion will be sought after during hyper inflation. Look, I know I would take Silver Eagles over Morgans if I was selling something. Most stores and people would agree. Morgan - Nice coin but not as valuable and usually not mint. Sorry.

[stermr]

Morgan is more an NUMISMATIC coin...

[bonzaibb12]

I agree 100% but I think you hurt peoples feelings who already made the mistake of buying collectables : )

[jrpaint62]

I hear ya! The truth hurts but it's still the truth. There is no GOVT interference(yet) with this stuff. Public awareness is the best way to shine light on these shady characters

[mydamvideos]

wow i didnt know that very interesting

[leokimvideo]

Watch out for the US $2 note, you seem to find lots of them in Vietnam....why..??

I have picked up two there, one was passed in a bank...hoot

[TwoMenMafia]

dont collect but i love money

[4guiseppi]

There is no perfect morgan dollar out there bacause they have bag marks from being tossed around bags right after being minted.

[r2hammer]

Great Video and info...I showed it to my US History class. We are covering the West Comstock Lode etc... 5 stars to you!

Check our Morgans out GSA CC...

Here on Youtube! Silver and Gold!!!

A great time to buy these!

Thanks,

Scott

[slick88zx]

Excellent! I love your videos. You take all the confusion out of coin collecting and make it sound fun (which it is but most people don't know it). Alot of dealers are usually grumpy and don't want to educate new collectors which in turn hurts the hobby. Your video's are good for the hobby! Thank you and keep up the good work!

[spike18801]

wow i didnt know this

[laserlad93]

cool cool, i love the history behing the coins

[Mockingbird5150]

Mark,

if you're reading this, i have an 1882 coin in not particular good shape. is it worth saving or selling?

it looks like the prior owner glued it to a wall and is now caked in a very hard yellow-like adhesive.

should i forget about it?

love the show!

[dragonjade2007]

Thanks, Very Interesting very educational, I hope to see more of your Video's, keep up the good work, MarioT

[12345678910cac]

that was awesome

[flight3570]

That was very interesting! I really like your intro's to your videos. What type of video editing software do you use?

[tommyandmark]

lol my parents just introduced to me that i had a silver dollar. Ive had it since i was three!

[robmarlowe]

Wow! Excellent video!!! My video should have been a response to this one and not vice-versa! GREAT JOB!!

[markapsolon]

thanks! i guess I was just trying to get other coin guys to watch it. So what do you think of the series? I have the liberty double eagle video coing out next

[robmarlowe]

It is very well done and good job on the research. The information is very accurate and it looks like a video that could be seen on the Discovery Channel. Are you a professional? Your videos make coin collecting "look" fun! Collecting is fun but your video adds something to it. Your video reminds me of the fun style that Alton Brown uses from "Good Eats" on the food network. Keep up the good work and feel free to post or link to any of my videos!

[markapsolon]

thanks again! I am a pro videographer and I'm doing the Spare change videos out of love for the hobby but it would be nice if it was on tv..lol. I would be up for that.. :) I actually know of the production company that did good eats. Its a great show :)

[andhisband]

Wow, that was a helluva lot of information. Nice job! Thanks, Mark.

[markapsolon]

thnaks I'm gald you liked it. It was really fun to do

[JacobianProductions]

Do you store all of the footage and project stuff from every video you make, or do you delete it when you're finished with it?

[markapsolon]

I normally store it as backups on either an archive hard drive or DVD-R

[JacobianProductions]

Interesting. So with all the work you've done by now, do you have a huge storage closet full of external hard drives or dvd's?

[javalu882005]

hey hey, look who is back after some quiet time =D

Well, as usual, 5 stars for the quality video!

[markapsolon]

thanks :)

[kaerfirarref]

Awesome video. I hope you continue to put up coin videos. Coin collecting is my biggest hobby and I love learning more about my coins. I only collect PCGS and NGC certified coins. I am subscribing to your videos and I hope you will be putting more coin videos out soon. I recommend, Buffalo nickels, Lincoln cents, and Standing liberty quarters, all my favorites.

[markapsolon]

thanks :) I'm working on more and I do have all the coins you mentioned in mind. I have enough material to make hundreds of these videos..lol thanks again for the support. next is the liberty head double eagles then franklin halfs, and finally on the line up are the Indian Head quarter eagles. I have to shoot more after I get those finished :)

[tubetape]

Great job on the video. Funny and informative. The editing is really well done too.

[markapsolon]

thanks :)

[Gimmeabreakman]

Damn good video. You have rekindled my love of coins... I used to collect...

[markapsolon]

what did you collect? :)

[wepons4me]

this coins tone in very pretty colors!!!!!!!!!!!!

[markapsolon]

some are really beautiful toned. The blues and reds are awesome!

[SinnerJ]

I got several of the coins with certs. Used to be big coin collector.

[markapsolon]

cool you should make a response video and show us your coins :)

[jule425]

Loved the history information Mark. Again, some great information.

[NixFilms]

great video Mark :)

[markapsolon]

thanks Nix :)

[actionsports111]

I think I told you this before, but anyway

I don't collect coins but I still really like to watch these shows. Keep it up! haha

[markapsolon]

thanks for the support. I love doing these. Its history mixed with coins :)

[Legendhouse]

I sold 10 of these 10 years ago for $10 a piece.

[CDplayer0]

Damn, you got soooooo ripped off...

[Legendhouse]

I know! I hate my life.

[markapsolon]

thats not to bad but what were they? the date and condition mean a lot

[Legendhouse]

The were all 64 and 67 pretty good shape. Not mint.

[Filmaker92]

Can you actually spend these coins?

[ChristopherMast]

Sure... I'll sell you some stuff... got any of those silly ol' silver certificates floating around too? :)

[Bluwhodesign]

This is what Mark is most scared of when he gives the kids coins, he always has a hard time explaining they should not spend it on candy, lol.

[markapsolon]

yeah you can spend them but why would you. You can sell one for so much more

[loadbrecht]

I was just watching somthing on tv about the morgan dollar

it may have been an infomerchal

[markapsolon]

do not buy anything from home shopping network or an infomercial. They over charge like you would not believe. Its a nice coin :) you got to love the Morgans :)

[loadbrecht]

about 2 weeks ago I had a pizze delivered to my house the pizza guy made a stop before me and they paid in quaters

guess who got the change

but when i put the quaters in my change jar I heard a strange sound

11 of the coins were silver

all I could say was yahoo!!!!...lol

I don't collect coins for real

but I come across things that I like to keep some day my 2 dollar bill will be worth milloins...lol

[markapsolon]

that is a cool find. I actually have had a few of those myself :)

[Bluwhodesign]

Second? I have one of those too, lol, wait are you talking about the man or coin?

[markapsolon]

lol

[Axmagic1]

first! and also, I have 5 of those, cool.

[markapsolon]

the Morgans as nice :)

[Axmagic1]

you know it! they're good for magic.
