[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 687439, member: 112"]I'm not sure what you mean by "hot" coins :confused: You're not alone, there are a whole lot of people who think that. But that is because they don't actually read the book. Instead they make assumptions, incorrect assumptions. And many rely on inaccurate information that has been posted either on coin forums or various web sites. But the internet is literally buried with inaccurate information. Many people think that just because they can find something posted on a web site someplace, whether that be in the form of an article or just some forum posting, that means that info is true. Well, a good example would be that you can find it posted on a web site that the earth is flat. And the fact of the matter is that with pretty much any subject you care to mention, and this is especially true on the subject of coins, if you do a careful comparison what you find out there, is that out of say 20 different web sites containing specific information, 18 of them have copied what they have on their site, word for word from 1 single site. And nobody takes the time to find out if the info is even correct. Copyright infringement and plagarism is rampant on the internet. Well that's easy. It's because they pay the ANA for the right to do so. Every 5 years or so the ANA accepts offers from the various TPG's to buy the right to call themselves the "Offical" TPG of the ANA. The highest bidder wins that right. It's usually in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Currently, NGC owns the contract. That's all.[/QUOTE]
