Heritage Auction -- WOW! I watched the start of the Heritage US coin auction tonight (Friday) via the Internet, and all I can say is WOW....
Great entries! I watched the first half of the Heritage auction, but I could not keep my eyes open. Did anyone witness the bidding on the most...
Awesome! :thumb:
Is anyone writing a blog about the Long Beach show that started today? I wanted to go but could not, and now I'm wondering what the turnout is...
That's really cool. A friend of mine came across a fake pound coin 15 years ago, and it went into my collection immediately.
The answer I WAS WRONG! The coins were not toned at all. I was looking at pictures of the coins, and some of them do look very different...
Swine flu It would be interesting to see whether the swine flu news would affect attendance at coins shows. So far this flu seems pretty tame...
EDIT Nevermind, there was already a thread about this.
What a suspicious lot you are. LOL I think that I will accept the comment that said "just be thankful...".

Yes. It was in the high 60s.
Well, I can't wait to see what the guy says happened. I hope it didn't affect the value of the coin.
It had been in an old sealed holder inside bank vault for probably 50 years. I tried to simulate what I am talking about. This is not the coin,...
That's supposition on my part. I mean, how else could a coin change so drastically unless someone like NCS actively altered it?
I read that toning takes a long time, but I sent a silver coin (that had little to no toning) to be graded and it came back heavily toned. I...
Yeah, and as a bonus, I can probably hold it in my hands without affecting the value. ;)
He was fooled a few times, but in his day there weren't any grading services. They had to count on their memory and eyes back then. :D
Someone else submitted it for me, so I will probably never get the full story. I will probably just keep it anyway. It's my favorite coin.
That's a great article. I wish I could get an Omega counterfeit. Then I would own an authentic 1907, a 2009 and an Omega! It would be cool to see...
