There have been several threads about this on the PCGS boards. The State Legislature of MN decided to craft a bill that defined any coins with greater than 1% precious metal content to be deemed "bullion" and then to fall under the umbrella of the legislation. In short, if you sell "bullion" to a resident of MN then you may have to jump through a relatively large number of hoops and go through investigations and put up surety bonds for members of the company. Many coin dealers are now skipping shows in MN and/or refusing to sell to those in the state.

 

Talk about killing a hobby or livelihood! How do they control something like eBay or is this strictly commercial/retail sales? This actually deserves a thread of it's own.

 

I have several I guess not that they are hard to find or cost an arm and leg but I am just too tight to justify spending the money I reckon.
1909SVDB cent
1939S Rev of 40 nickel
1955DDO cent
1937 3legged Buffalo nickel
Well I guess the list could on but those are ones I will acquire just got to turn loose of the common cash.

 

North KOREA 2000 5 WON ASIATIC FLYING SQUIRREL

 

AKA - Rocky Kwan

 

May I ask: What the heck coin is this? "Korea"? You mean North Korea?

 

Not my coin. Just my comment. I know you actively collect Korean coins. I think it's Dwhiz that needs to respond.

 

Yes North Korea

 

Got one... in a Canadian TPG flip (ICCS MS-64), it will be making the trip to PCGS in 2015... then the #1 spot will be mine <insert evil muhuhuh laugh here>

 

It amazes me how some coins stored in the same place, the same length of time, and in the same condition will tone and others won't. Wish I could get a better picture but at any other angle all I get is light reflection.

P.S. for all of you "error guys" there is a 72 die brake in this lot.
