Transcript

Today I have $500 and let's see what kind of coin we can get our hands on. Now you've seen me buy gold bars before, but these days I'm getting into coin collecting like these. And usually I would shop in person, but Whatnot lets me shop live from my phone, see what coins are being offered up on camera in real time, and I get to ask questions in the chat. Humphrey asked, what's your best coin under 500 bucks? Oh, I actually got a really good one here, Humphrey. Let me let me grab it right here. Live auctions are happening all the time and are usually super fast paced. Today I bid on an 1890 rare coin. And guess what, I WON! After you win, usually your seller would ship it to your address on file. But because Witter Coin is local to me in San Francisco, I thought I'd just go pick it up in person. Ben! Yo! I won a coin on Whatnot! You did? Yeah! On our Whatnot? Yeah! All right, right on! You bought it on our stream? Yeah. We haven't shipped it yet. Yeah, we haven't shipped it yet, let's go. I just won a coin on Whatnot and I just wanted to pick it up. Oh, here we go! Thank you. All right. Whoa. This is how I coin collect. If you want to start a collection yourself, you want to check out Whatnot, lots of sellers like Witter Coin are streaming daily.
