She found out her coins WERE worthless ... pitfalls of coin collecting

Not all Coins are Valuable! 🇦🇺 I have been collecting coins for several years now and while I dun know everything there is to know about this hobby, I am fortunate to have the support of the community. The sharing of information via videos uploaded by the many content creators have broaden my horizon and knowledge. There are also numerous free resources available online which I have relied upon heavily when creating content for this channel. Finally I can count upon the knowledge and experience of many local coin dealers and collectors here, all of who have been generous with their sharing and support.

That being said, there are many out there who have gone into this hobby without the proper tools or knowledge. This is unfortunate as its very easy to make mistakes with our collecting choices, as many of you out there know. In this video, I will share with you the story of a collector looking to sell her collection she thought was worth a lot more than what it actually was. You can imagine how shattered she was when she learnt the truth.

Fortunately we were able to help her out with her collection of Australian coins. These are nearly impossible to exchange for Singapore monies as money changers here rarely accept foreign coins for transaction. Coin dealers will not take these circulating coins as they have no way of recouping their monies. However as the lady had walked into China Jia Long coin store, the owner (and my friend) agreed to take them off her hand as he knew I could return them to Australia on my next trips there.

So for this video we are going to go thru the coins that are in the album. I am gonna show you what are the coins I'm gonna keep and share with you a little bit of the story with the lady and China Jia Long. I hope you will enjoy that. My thanks to all for taking the time to watch and support this channel. You have my love respect and friendship. Peace and blessings to all! 🥰
