Re: Paul Hollis Nominated to be next U.S. Mint Director
I had no idea who he was. Now that I know, I'd expect a major tilt in favor of the Big Boys and away from the rest of us, given what he knows, who his friends are, and where he comes from. Hope I'm wrong.

Re: Massive Autograph Fraud Uncovered
And with so many modern players just using their initials as their auto, it's even easier to counterfeit.
(Someone said it's Blake Grupe, Saints kicker.)
And collectors have reported finding sheets of signed stickers in the wild.
Re: U.S. Mint 2025 Superman Coin and Medal Images
1 Gold Superman coin $2700
9 Silver 2 1/2 ounce Medals $2475 (complete set)
Way more bang for the buck for silver set. The 2 1/2 silver medals are much larger and the characters are easier to see.
9 gold coin in complete set is $24,300. Few will go all in.

Re: Key date 1863 PCGS AU50 $10 Gold Liberty sold for $45,600 tonight at Heritage

I think three things are going on here:-Stacks Bowers sold a decent though not CAC 50 Fairmont for $53K in '22. Much greater eye appeal. I only see a couple Fairmont coins of the 100s of thousands of coins.
-Market might be a little weak.
-Not a great look for an AU coin regardless of the rarity.
You left out a fourth thing - the price guide value was already too high prior to the sale.

There is no way I would accept that as an AU50.

Re: Massive Autograph Fraud Uncovered
in the early 90s the FBI estimated 50% to 90% of all Sports Autographs were forgeries, thus since then nothing has changed.
