COINWEEK HITS YOUTUBE AND FACEBOOK MILESTONES

On Monday, May 15, 2017, CoinWeek surpassed two million views on its award-winning YouTube video channel.

CoinWeek’s award-winning videos have brought numismatics to a new generation of collectors, with popular series such as CoinWeek IQ, Cool Coins!, Cool Currency!, and the CoinWeek Podcast. Since CoinWeek’s launch in 2011, our video team has also covered many of the most significant hobby stories and events.

In February 2016, CoinWeek’s video Uncool Coins! went viral on social media, racking up nearly 200,000 views in just a few short days. The video featured coin dealer Julian Leidman and told the story of an unwise collector/ investor that cracked out a conditionally-rare $20 Liberty gold coin and cleaned it using an abrasive metal cleaner, destroying nearly all of the coin’s numismatic value. If undisturbed, the coin would have had a market value of about $250,000.

Another top performing video is CoinWeek’s in-depth look at the investment potential of the U.S. 1776-1976 quarter, titled On Collecting Bicentennial Quarters: Risk and Rewards. To date, that video has earned over 110,000 views, with hundreds of additional views each and every day.

The success of videos like these illustrate that numismatic topics, when discussed in an interesting and innovative fashion, can reach today’s collector

CoinWeek’s two million views was not the only major milestone reached this week. On our Facebook page, we have surpassed 40,000 subscribers, making CoinWeek the most popular numismatic news and information publisher on the popular social media site.
