1948 summed it up pretty good. i'm not allowed to say it or i will get banned.1987 topps bonds sold for $600, incredible. never thought i would see that.
Its pretty sad that speaking one's mind as long as its not an "attack" on another poster can get you banned. If people don't like a topic/discussion they don't have to read it.
It's more that divisive rhetoric can get a little contentious. Ya know. People have strong opinions on things and some of those opinions can be pretty crass or even off-putting to others. Just because we live in a period of time where if you say something over and over it becomes true doesn't mean that's how it should be. There should be monuments to the hills people have died on in these forums. cue Taps...

I track every single public auction of these coins at HA/SB/GC and have for a couple of years. Indisputably, the rise in grading events is due to greater outflow from PCGS Asia.Unfortunately, their grading standards seem to be much different and (IMO) significantly looser/worse than PCGS America. There are some nice coins but many very problematic coins in numerically graded holders (and that's coming from someone who collects damaged coins).
How do I submit to PCGS Asia?

If you know someone this has happened to and have their phone number, it would be nice to call them in case they’re not already aware that their email account has been hacked.
Oh yes, I texted the real person right away (although super late in his time zone) and got a reply at 4am saying it was not him.
I also challenged the email scammer right away who claimed no access to a phone at the time and “not hacked” 🤣
Re: Is there someone here that knows a lot about shipwreck coins?
I'm sure that quite a few forum members know a good deal about at least some shipwreck coins. But your question is rather broad.
