CSI: Talking about 09-S VDB's and AT Coins??

[MunkyMan95]

They're following the murder of one of the dealer's customers, and they talk about him using sulfur to AT coins. They also show a "slider" 09-S VDB cent, and the CSI guy wants to trade it for a 16-D Mercury dime.

 

Dealer: "That's a nice one"

CSI guy: " Yeah, I've been meaning to get it slabbed."

 

I felt so at home! Of course, any other viewer has absolutely NO IDEA what these guys were talking about.

i just saw that one on spike. but the part i didnt liek was where he said "a 1907 saint gaudens double eagle gold piece, i've only seen that in books" see none of us talk like that it should have gone "07 Saint. what is that a 64?" you could tell he was a normy

Yeah, that bothered me. What bothered me even more is that it looked like they used a modern PROOF replica, instead of something even remotely realistic.

yea same here. it looked WAY to big. and he said that the 09-s VDB was a slider. that didnt look like a borderline unc to me

It had a lot of Mint Red remaining, it looked like a pretty nice coin. When that dealer pulled out the briefcase, I was expecting to see NGC and PCGS slabs, but all he had were those cheezy plastic holders

[RUSS BEGA]

yea. and then he gripes about the 09-s not beinng slabbed et he has a raw 07 saint?

I'd be willing to bet that Fred Wineberg consigned those coins to be used in the show...a real gold coin on a set would be a disaster for insurance reasons.

 

I did not get to see the show, but anything to promote our hobby and get it out there is good PR.
