Very good question. Rather than haul them "home" I could very easily see them making a quiet deal on the side with some of the big boys.
I ordered a replacement part from China and had it arrive, by USPS, in 2 days. And it was NOT sent by overnight or next day shipping or anything...
The only known Class II 1804 still in existance is the Mint Collection Specimen in the Smithsonian. Plain edge and struck over an 1857 Swiss...
That's OK they also made commeoratives marking the bicentennial of the "Star Spangled Banner" 198 years after the battle and the poem. If you...
It IS illegal to deface CURRENCY, but you can do most anything you want to with coins as long as it isn't done with fraudulent intent.....except...
Very heavy die polishing. It has polished away the low relief portions of the design.
That's OK, they can't tell the Proofs from the MS pieces either. They tried for awhile and got it wrong so often they just gave up and now they...
They do come both ways. Some varieties are business strike only and some are proof only. I'm not sure how NGC categorizes them but PCGS received...
Seems kinda low considering what they have brought in the past. I know the Class III's don't bring as much as the Class I coins but I thought...
No rules were violated. The rules said no person could buy more than one coin from the mint and none did. Did dealers and collectors evade this...

Note the label also says it is from the ANA in Chicago. So taken as a whole the label is in effect saying "first coin sold at the ANA in...
That's why I said if they really cared (about making sure the coins got a wide distribution to collectors.) They don't.
Amanda posted that image Thursday afternoon So was it on the door Wednesday evening too?
If you think Silvertowne buying the first four sold for $20K was nuts, what do you think about them SELLING the first one for $100K?
The PCGS labels also call them Accented Hair. So toss PCGS in the same "Disrespect Corner" with Coin Vault and the other TV coin programs.
Sure you can, you can buy one, you can buy five, but only online, just not over the counter.
Cent sized? During the bicentennial the Patrick Mint made a large number of different cent sized tokens. This is probably one of them. At one...
Someone would have to post a video of them making their claims. I don't have a TV so I don't watch them. These TV shows have been on cable for...
If they really cared about that the solution might be to set an ordering period with no mintage limit and not ship them until after the ordering...
