I Thought NGC (NCS) Owned the Binion Contract?

    Did you notice that there are very few (if any) silver dollars? Most that I could make out were halves and quarters with a Kennedy or two. Most of the NGC hoard were Morgans and Peace dollars.

    It was my understanding only for the Morgan dollars, don't know about his Peace hoard. I don't see any Morgans in his auction. BTW I am just guessing.

    Here's an auction for a NGC Binion Peace dollar.

  • Those are the coins that were found in the couches at the casino.

    I somehow wouldn't doubt this.
  • Based upon the pictures in his auction, which leave much to be desired, all of the coins appear to be circulated. I wonder if he bought one of the bags of "Binion Silver" that the Coin Vault on HSN was selling. That would technically make them Binion coins.

    Junk silver in NTC slabs for just shy of $10K? Binion, bunion, whatever -- I'll pass, thank you.

    What if somebody were to send an NGC slab with "Binion Collection" printed on it to PCGS for cross-over. Could PCGS then write "Binion Collection" on the slab?

  • It is NTC that had the Binion Hoard.
    Coins, shiny coins!

    I don't see why not. Pedigrees, especially famous ones, are routinely "crossed".
