It looks like Superior has hit rock bottom...

What is this all about?

I just received their catalog for the Texas Money Show Auction, it's rather light, both in quantity and apparently in quality as well. Perhaps they didn't get very many consignments, just a guess.

I don't think this was intended to be a major auction.

for the people in Houston we are just glad there is a auction for the show.

I know it's late but browsing the catalog I was intrigued by these 2000 proof coins - all separate lots:

cent, ANACS PR64
silver dime, ANACS PR67
silver quarters (all 5), four of which are ANACS PR67 and one ANACS PR68
silver half, ANACS PR68
Sacajawea, ANACS PR65


Those couldn't even be worth the slabbing fees, let alone the auction fees! Wonder what happened to the nickel - bodybagged?

I took a look at their Peace dollars and couldnt believe that had NTC coins!

Sad really.


The fellow who founded this company is shaking his head.

ANACS is absolutely brutal on moderns. They wouldn't've bodybagged the nickel -- they would net grade it. Unless it had PVC or some other gunk on it.

Take a look at the quality of the Long Beach sale. You will be shaking your head also. For a clearer test, compare the Goldberg catalog with the Superior sale.

How much did the Goldberg's get for the "Superior" name? This had to be a great move on their part.

Seems like its going to be laid-back sale in Houston. No security guards or transportation fees just a burlap sack and a shovel to get them out of the trunk with-------------BigE

Roadrunner,what did they "get" for it? Unless I'm misreading you, they lost it. What was it, 70 years of business and poof, gone at deep discount.

I heard it was sold for half a million. Now that was a pretty smart deal I ( if true, and on the part of the buyer) just for the mailing list.

Unless I'm misreading you.

I think they hit rock bottom when they started quoting PCGS forum members without their knowledge in Superior Coinworld ads.

The current situation then would be the numismatic equivalent of a cartoon car crash, where several seconds after the initial impact one wheel comes rolling through the scene.
