    thanks!
    Varieties are the spice of a Type Set.

    Need more $$$ for coins?

    This is the show that renewed my interest and turned me from a casual collector (pocket change, hand me downs, and some mint product gifts) into a more serious collector. I had never heard of slabs before I saw this show earlier this year on the National Geographic Channel. Don't think I'll own any of the S.S. Republic coins for a while though, if ever.

    The show is probably going to get even more people into collecting now that it's being shown on PBS.

    Thanks for the reminder.

    Cool show! Made me proud to have played a very, very, very small roll in their success.
