    Could that be one that has already occurred but the shiite hasn't hit the fan yet, or one that hasn't yet occurred???

    One of the major TPG's is indicted for fraud after it is discovered that a major submitter to it had bought the rights to obtain & limit the Top Pop's for a period of time. During that time it is discovered that those coins were transferred to other parties to hide the sources and over time sold off at many of the larger auction houses. Indictments of those auction houses will find that they were also involved in the scandel.

    I don't care, as long as it doesn't involve me or anyone I know.

    Fat chance, that.

    Now why would that be a scandal?image

    heritage website and backend computers are hacked. tons of into about
    every collector whoever bought there is in the hands of strangers.

    NGC grader is caught on video accepting a cash bribe to make sure
    his grading exceeds the submitters expectations.

    Mr Hall, using his newly aquired world series data, corners the market on
    key, in demand coins, within the year of the game ending.

    TDN finds out half his collection are fakes but the coin world accepts them
    as real anyway because his feelings were so hurt.

    Testimony at the upcoming Tom Noe trial turns ugly against the
    grading services sparking a federal probe into the whole grading,
    business relationships and pricing structure in the coin business sending the coin market into a panic and causing the collapse of the whole US coin market.

    PCGS World Series of Coin Trading Rigged.

    Authorities learned people were paying huge sums for real coins in an effort to artificially inflate PCGS price guides. Also, some unscrupulous competitiors were nearly giving away rare coins held in their competitors virtual portfolios in a blatent attempt to pull down price guide numbers. It is estimated $40M of discounts and over payments have been made in an attempt to win the $10K prize.

    A well respected TPG is forced to declare bankrupcy after loosing significant market share. After years of encapsulating artificially toned coins and grading above generally accepted market grades, the TPG went under. Apparently what ended up in a holder was a counterfit 1913 Liberty nickel with rainbow colors. It was graded a MS69.

    Wierd, I posted this yesterday, and now it's gone, Again:

    1) A major auction house is caught cheating widows and orphans on estate sales.

    2) The illusory so-called PCGS guaranty of authenticity is exposed for what it is (or, more accurately, isn't)).

    It is Randy "Duke", a nice guy with sticky fingers.

    When threads collide, we find out that the coin that sells for $4 million at the Smythe auction was actually a counterfit 1913 Liberty nickel with rainbow colors graded MS69 by a major TPG. image

    Alan Hager found to be majority share holder in both NGC and PCGS.
    Also found to be finalizing coins for the past several years. ACG stock goes through the roof......CU stock plummets.

    PCGS grading set, missing for years, found in Dwight Manley's garage.

    Contursi 1794 specimen dollar proved to be NOT the first silver dollar struck in silver. Little old lady brings in documents to prove she has the first one struck. Takes coin to Littleton to be auctioned off.

    Ohio Coin Fund ends up making money for the fund in the end.
    Watershed event forces hand of legislature to repeal the sales tax on coins.

    The US Mint will come under scrutiny and the TRUTH about the Wisconsin Errors will come to light.

    This was not an error, but a calculated insertion into the minting process to further drive the coin collecting public as sales of US COINS began lagging just over halfway through the STATEHOOD quarter program.

    Furthermore....


    oh wait... My balls ain't crystal image (I'm with Barry on this one)

    I was just thinking of a new book to write.
