This just came across the wire services. Here is the link:

SS Republic and Shop-at-home

 

According to the article, the SS Republic offering set a new record for sales in a 24 hour period on the Shop-at-Home network.

 

Wow - Congratulations to all involved.

 

I believe this is good for the Coin Industry - What about you?

It's nice for SAH but I don't even think it's a blip on the radar screen for the numismatic community, at large.

If those folks that bought those coins decide to do some homework and learn about coins and start buying smart it will be good for the coin industry. However if the market falls apart for "shipwreck effect" coins and they end up losing %75 of their "investment" there will be no long term positive effect for the industry.

I think there is a difference between someone who collects a SS Republic coin for the history and a coin collector. For the later, they are interested in the value of the graded coin and its scarcity, and for the former they just desire a piece of history and not so must for the coin value.
