[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 2155296, member: 24633"]I'm very familiar with Warhol's art. But, let me ask you this, "Would you pay millions of dollars for an ordinary Campbell's Soup can?"

I just think you are using that talent in a way that is detrimental to the hobby we call numismatics. Thanks for responding, Daniel. Chris The problem with collecting these is that eventually the collector dies, and more often than not, these coins will find their way back into the marketplace. Just like no one can guarantee that every seller on eBay is legitimate, there is no way that anyone can guarantee that these coins won't end up in the hands of a con artist. So, let me ask you this.
