The Singe Greatest Coin Roll Hunting Discovery Ever Caught on Camera!

The Single Greatest Coin Roll Hunting Discovery Ever Caught on Camera!

This is without a doubt the single greatest coin roll hunting discovery ever caught on camera!



Here’s some context:

My brother Kevin and I are in the middle of another one of our coin roll hunting pennies competition hunts. I look over at Kevin’s roll and notice a wheat penny on the end nearest to me. We turn the camera on and record the wheat penny find.



Once that is over, I decide to leave the camera rolling as I tear into my next roll.

Upon opening the roll, I notice an interesting edge- it looks dark green and somewhat mangled. I decide to investigate. When I pull it out by its mangled edge, I expect to see a beat up parking lot coin or maybe an old circulated wheat. It was neither of those things.



What I saw next left me in utter shock and disbelief...

Welp, I watched the video before coming to TNet. Congratulations on your awesome find.

Point proven

Enough with the videos.

And a $1 Indian head is not the best fine ever caught on video

Let’s leave this thread to die, too much strife caused through it.

NEVER!


...jk I don't care either way. But I would like to know what Ugo thinks was "proven" here...

Credibility is slowly earned, but quickly spent. If the goal is to be considered a legitimate and serious ambassador for the hobby, gimmicky theatrics (click-bait title; cheesy, overly dramatic, wide-eyed photos; etc) are the most sure way to fail that goal. If the goal is simply to amass clicks to the link, there'll be a few from here as membership turns over. But, the serious hobbyist won't be fooled twice.

Think of it like a cheap date on the street corner. MAybe good for a go around but you never marry her

The lack of perspective here is comical. A beat up IHP is the best CRH find ever filmed?

But the masses who know no better will be sure to think its atleast a $1000 coin pulled right from a bank box.

 

[ugotit22]

Almost as rare as a actual legitimate CRHer and any of these videos

“Caught on camera” != “filmed”

There are tons of videos of Indian heads being found, but none of them show the sealed roll being opened. They all just show the coin after it’s already been identified.

The amazing thing about this find is that the roll that contained it was opened live on camera. This is incredibly rare.

It weighs 2.8 grams so definitely not a fatty. I will try to get some better pics of it soon.

I get where you're coming from Immy, but I think it's a bit of a jump to suggest that I change the way I document this hobby just because there are some people here who don't like how I do it. In my version of the hobby, I don't take high quality photos or thoroughly document each hunt with spreadsheets and numbers like I see a lot of people on here do. Not that there's anything wrong with doing it that way; it's just not how I prefer to do the hobby.

When I share a video on this forum, I am sharing the story and the excitement of the hunt more than anything else. I am not interested in the value of these coins- if I was then I wouldn't last long in the hobby. I am interested in the thrill of the hunt and that is what I like to share. If I'm not sharing that then I'm not interested in sharing at all.

To summarize, I don't get excited about pictures and lists of X coins found on date Y. I get excited about the story and the hunt itself. That's what I'm going to continue to share, whether the vocal minority approve or not.

I know someone who used to get real excited about a hobby too.

Diggers rock? Said no respectable treasure hunter ever.
If you listen closely you can actually hear credibly leaving slowly.

One Indian Cent? A couple years ago I got 8 rolls of Walkers and Franklins from a bank with a few Barbers thrown in. CRH can be fun, but thread needs a nap. And the way this site works, it's coming.
