    "A History of Fraud in the Rare Coin Business", taught by QDB. Eric Newman would co-instruct the first couple of days, covering the pre-1960 numismatic scene. HRH would co-instruct the last few days, covering more recent times.

    wow


    I made that suggestion in jest, but I'm sure it could be done. It's funny though that there are at least a few people out there who do this for a share of the increased value of any coins they "improve." I take it from the "wow" that you don't approve.

    You are correct...I don't approve. I'm glad to know your suggestion was in jest.

    1) Crooked coin dealers, a list, A-Z.
    2) A modern legal history of the ANA
    3) Walter Breen- The Prison Years
    4) Picking up women at a coin show 101
    5) How to make a big pledge to the ANA and then get out of it when your friend gets fired
