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

<< <i>The Secret Service starts confiscating 1913 Liberty nickels and other illegally fabricated "rarities". >>
Now why would that be a scandal?
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.
<< <i>all mint errors are declared counterfeits and therefore illegal to own and trade, being confiscated by the secret service >>
He's looking for a NEW scandal not an old one. They actually used to do that years ago.
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.
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.

I don't think we've heard the last of the 1964 Peace dollar.
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)).

<< <i>Congressman "Duke" Cunningham

It is Randy "Duke", a nice guy with sticky fingers.
Remember Nixon's "I am not a crook". What a crock.

They're delicate, but they're not crystal. It's a little too cold to take them out, anyway...
<< <i>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. >>
<< <i>The Smythe auction this week reaches record proportions breaking both attendance records and sales records. One lot sells for over $4 million dollars!!!! >>
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.
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.

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
I was just thinking of a new book to write.
