Contest Time! Appalachian Hoard? PKOK Hoard? BattleCreek Hoard?

[braddick]

Let's say, just for fun, a newly discovered batch... ::Whoops, scratch that...:: "hoard" of fresh ::Whoops, scratch that...:: "hidden for decades", whacky toned Ikes were discovered.

 

Here's an example of one of those rare jewels:

 

 

What would you name this hoard?

 

The most wildly creative name will win a killer toned coin of my choosing (yes, I'll pick one out of my stash. You won't be disapointed, I promise! ).

I'll let this run a few days so those that view this forum seldomly will have a chance.

Good luck!

Since you can't easily pass these off as part of someones collection, the best thing is to go for a geographic name that is generic or you can't pinpoint it. The "Springfield Hoard" or the "Teton Ridge Collection".

 

Get yourself a nice story (ex: placed in tissue paper from the mint and toned wild blue). It does not matter that tissue paper wasn't invented at this time. Ignore facts as no one will check them. Spread the story around with slight variations so while everyone can tell you the story, no one can get all the "facts" correct and people can debate the facts rather than looking at their fingers that are glowing after touching the coin.

 

Get the coin in a TPG slab. Offer the entire hoard to all the major grading services. See which one bites.

 

Sell the first batch to the typical major toned coin dealers. They'll buy in the beginning and bury their clients at obscene prices. Some will come on the forums and loudly and full of 'anger' declare that the coins are NT and anyone who says otherwise is an *spoon*. These are usually the dealers who have buried their clients the deepest. The rest of the hoard can be moved directly to customers as the major tone dealers will now shy away due to the talk and not want to buy these. Typical excuse not to buy, it's nice, but not like the monsters that were released first.

 

At least that's how I would do it - not that I've ever given it any thought.

[braddick]

Nice!

I like it.

 

My my my... I just noticed this Thread has only one star.

Hmmm, I'd call it the "Pay no Attention to Gmarguli Hoard".
