I originally purchased this Morgan back in the sixties for $1.00 and sold it for $44.00 yesterday

I like that. It folds right into the Chicago Coin Club's motto, which translates as "We learn by teaching."

Cynical about market grading, are we?

 

Nobody learns more than the teacher.

 

Best stuff I ever learned at an ANA show was following up on answers to questions from the audience at one of my Money Talks.

 

I love Kurt Bellman too!

 

I think I love anyone who can get $44 for a VF/XF raw 1899-O Morgan.

 

which was inspired by a speech Doug gave the night before

 

Isn't that the point of any recount? Money.

 

given that you're taking a synical point of view, I would say No, it's about power.

 

Money. Power. Two sides of the same coin.

 

Thing is, some lawyers will take cases that can't be won just to milk a client of fees. That happened here.

 

yes, Kurt. I have seen it first hand.
In 1961, my parents bought a house for $21,000. In 1977 they divorced and the house sold for $67,000. They both walked away without a dime. Guess who got it all?

 

Anyone who gave a dime for one of Dr. Stein's recounts was a sheep being shorn.

 

Well that is why I am cynical. I treat every business as it is. A business. I dont care what you are. Dentist, lawyer, plumber, it's all just business. Bills dont get paid by telling someone they cant win a case or that their water heater doesnt need to be replaced. How often is a $29.95 oil change on your car actually only $29.95? Somewhere along the line, it became more important to make money than to have any ethics or integrity.
