and Like I said...it isnt Daniel or his auction...it was the sleazey way ICG did the whole fiasco.
I hope you do well Daniel...but for compensation, next time ask for worthwhile slabs with your name. >>
Hello Bill, I'd like to clarify something about how the ICG signature program was set up. ICG does not sell coins. They encapsulate coins (for a fee) for collectors and dealers. The signature coins were no different. ICG charged a nominal encapsulation fee to the dealers. The dealers would submit the actual raw quarters to ICG for encapsulation in signature holders - just like any other coins to be graded. The dealers, in turn, sold them on the open market for whatever they wanted to charge. In the beginning, the signed quarters were not graded. Later on, they started grading them because that is what the dealers wanted.
Don't frett it Daniel, if you went out in your yard and picked up a dry dog turd (yes its that dry here in Loveland) put it on E-Bay and said it was a dog turd, started it at a penny and someone bid it up to $1000. a group of these people would still blame you and it would all be your fault!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope your coins sell for a million bucks and anyone on here who hasn't made a little money on selling a coin is a bold face, chicken manure liar!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to say that I am in awe of your talent. I can't even draw stick people, so I'm always amazed when I see beautiful work like that!
