In this episode of Hard Money Matters on AM 930 The Answer, host Kyle Warren and John Mabin, owner of Pegasus Coin and Jewelry in Bradenton, dive into the growing issue of fake news and misinformation in the coin collecting and precious metals community. They discuss the proliferation of misleading online articles and social media posts that falsely claim certain coins, often with fabricated mint errors, are worth millions. These stories, driven by clickbait motives, lead to scams like paid apps with fake price guides and backlink farms, wasting collectors' time and misleading the public. John highlights the impact on coin dealers, who face frequent inquiries about nonexistent "rare" coins, and explains how legitimate errors differ from these scams. The episode also touches on genuine high-value coins sold at reputable auctions, like those by Heritage Rare Coin Galleries, and warns against manipulative sales tactics, such as cold calls and data harvesting. Listeners are encouraged to rely on established sources and professionals for accurate information and to visit Pegasus Coin and Jewelry for free verbal estimates on their collections.
