Coin Market Notes!

For years I have been collecting records in a Notion Database of coins discussed by some of my favorite YouTubers, like BlueRidgeSilverhound, CoinHELPu, CouchCollectibles, GA Silver Hunter, RobFindsTreasure, etc. (not in any particular order, and this is only a few that I watch on a daily/weekly basis). These lists have been incredibly helpful as they give me an idea of what things are worth, what to look for, etc. I recently shared my Database with some other collectors and they have strongly urged me to make it public on my website. I hesitate as I don’t want it to appear like I’m stealing from some of the greats on YT. The information they provide is INCREDIBLY valuable so, for at least a limited time I’ll be sharing.

If you find this helpful, please let me know.

If you’re one of the content creators I reference, please let me know! I’d love an opportunity to interview you!


Why Jesse Coins?

Let’s be honest: some coin websites feel like textbooks. Not here. JesseCoins is fun, simple, and made for everyday collectors. We take the mystery out of numismatics and replace it with excitement, clear explanations, and a little bit of humor.

I’m not here to bore you with endless jargon (although I did create an Abbreviation Page so if you want to look up some jargon, it’s there!). I’m here to share real finds, easy-to-follow tips, and insights from years of collecting. Whether you’re just getting started or already deep into the hobby, there’s something here for you.
