Snerk. :) As long as he can take the heat. :)
By that measure neither does your house, unless someone feels like buying it.
I can get behind that. I'd just rather see those "investment coins" be ones with demonstrated demand, not "undervalued" because undervalued...
And a few forum posters as well.
Could you blame him? There are people here who have no sense whatsoever of propriety.
How about, "blatant money grab having nothing whatsoever to do with numismatics?" If Capital Plastics did something like this, it would be one...
The next hoard discovery could ruin all that. It's why smart collectors argue against "investment" numismatics. See: 1903-O Morgan.
Slabs gonna look like the bumpers of traveling cars soon.

I'm willing to bet whoever bought it has never heard of a TPG.
Then you're a quitter, letting someone else dictate the course of your life. I'm not, and I won't.
Frankly, those look like a good way to deliberately tone your coins.
It's pretty well advanced; I don't think a "normal" coin is possible any longer for it. It won't hurt to try to leverage Verdicare into giving it...
The TPG's only set "industry standards" because we allow them to. And those "industry standards" are measurably looser than the "industry...
