I think they actually started in the pre-internet days and conducted auctions via teletype. I know they also shipped VHS tapes out to view coins, and then you could bid by phone in the 90s. When I used them, they had moved online. They had similar sort of material as Great Collections does now (GC sort of filled the void left by TT when they went under). TT was bought by Stacks Bowers somewhere around 2011-2012, and the SB website incorporated some of the bidding technology of TT (SB used to have one of the absolute worst websites in the coin biz).</p><p><br /></p><p>2. It was about 10 years from the time I first saw this coin until I was able to purchase it. I started collecting PL coins in 2009-2010, and this was one of the first foreign PL coins I really tried to pursue.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>There are some segments of the market that are really hot, considerably moreso than 10 years ago. The US coin market has generally been trending down for the past ten years. Some people thought that FUN this year was a sign of a turnaround, but who knows now. Russian coins have also been extremely hot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
