  1. OMG! That is truly great. No more true words were ever spoken.
  2. Latest of You can Run but................... Ilya Lichtenstein, 34, and his wife, Heather Morgan, 31, of New York City, were arrested Tuesday morning in Manhattan for an alleged conspiracy to launder cryptocurrency that was stolen during the 2016 hack of Bitfinex, a virtual currency exchange, presently valued at approximately $4.5 billion. Thus far, law enforcement has seized over $3.6 billion in cryptocurrency linked to that
  3. People here think coin counterfeiters are good. Counterfeiting Civil War items is a very big business and the crooks are really good. Have a look at www.northeastnumismatics.com They have a lot of tokens and are reasonably priced.
  4. Agreed. There were some CW tokens that I wanted that were in absolutely beautiful condition. Price very high. I used to collect Civil War items. Paper, weapons and left over ammo. Back in the 60's I bought a Union Remington 1863 Zouave Rifle. It looked good on the exterior but something about it was off so I asked the guy if I could take the barrel off. Nope. Take it or leave it. Paid a Grand for it and when I got it home I took the barrel off. Turned it over - 'Made in Italy' was all it said. No returns and no refunds. Dearie Me. One born every minute
  5. Yes but....this is only a random sample of coins used in the CW era. I mainly collected Carson City Morgan Dollars and Carson City Gold.

  7. Okay. I am no professional coin expert but my take is: It was done at the Mint. Just a guess but if you say it was in OGP until you took it out what else could it be? BTW: that's the oddest* mark on a coin I've seen. *Is this a word?
  8. That's very strange. BUT....it's never been out of the Proof Set case right?
  9. As hard as I tried to mess up my Submission, ignore the TPG's email to me and stammer and stutter through the phone call to Customer Service the TPG (ATS) got it 100% perfect You can trust the Graders et al at NGC to do the best they can for you.

  11. Your site looks, and acts, very professional. Well done.
  12. Right. Dessicant packs come in all sizes. Really like them and they do a good job.
