Who's winning?

LALALAAALAAA...

who's DMPL??

Barndog · October 21, 2006 8:39AM

I hope you win. The rest of the world will never live it down. That will be the best part.

mcheath · October 21, 2006 8:42AM

wow, those ar some impressive gains

from the dealers

SilverEagles92 · October 21, 2006 8:42AM

Sorry for sounding ignorant... But what exactly do you do? I see that SG's got $2 million in something... What did he do to earn that, and what would Joe Collector do in the contest?

STONE · October 21, 2006 8:48AM

Way to go SG.

I'm rooting for you too and I also want to know the people behind the other TOP-10.

Best of luck and hope those Saits keep going up.

saintguru · October 21, 2006 9:46AM

If I win...I want all the CF people to give me a "10 rating"!

RegistryCoin · October 21, 2006 10:08AM

You're looking good SG. (BTW, since starting in mid-April, I've moved up 323 places, with just a few spots left to overcome to reach your level. I'm gearing up for the kick run and hope to give you a bit of a battle in the late stages.) I wish you the best of luck.

Didn't realize there was a dealer division. Leader there has over $5 MILLION. And just behind him in the $3 MILL range are
wondercoin and MS68. Ed Lee (Lee6) is not far behind them. So what items went up millions this past period in order for the leader to
show a $4 MILL gain in one shot? Saintguru gained a quick million. Inquiring minds want to know.

Impressive jay hope you win

tjkillian · October 21, 2006 10:18AM

Saint Guru, the best part is if you win, you will be able to charge a fee for what coins you chose and when.

Congratulations! I pray that you do actually win. You seem like a true collector who loves coins and collectors.

He whined, moaned, and cried to the price guide editor.

BULLION PLAYERS. They have done well....but I question if it's in the "spirit" of the intended competition. Numismatics as opposed to a commodity play?

RegistryCoin · October 21, 2006 10:37AM

I suspect that bullion plays only a bit role in their gains.

Russ · October 21, 2006 10:39AM

New-wp is up more than a million dollars in the last 20 days. Exactly what "bullion" is he holding that's gone up that much - or, even at all?

Russ, NCNE

saintguru · October 21, 2006 10:42AM

What place are you in Russ?

Russ · October 21, 2006 10:46AM

<< What place are you in Russ? >>

Higher than 586 other participants.

mgoodm3 · October 21, 2006 10:47AM

I jumped up to 150th.

MacCrimmon · October 21, 2006 10:48AM

Well Howdy!! Congrats on finally clawing your way to the top.

That said, I'm not rooting for you to win!!

However, if by some quirk I can't overtake you in the next 2 months, well of course, you darn well better win.

Just remember Satchel Paige's immortal words when you awake for the next 70 mornings ..........

<< New-wp is up more than a million dollars in the last 20 days. Exactly what "bullion" is he holding that's gone up that much - or, even at all? >>

This is a good (and should be an obvious) point. The four top dealers are up about eight and one-half million. Even if one was to assume that there were large enough pops. in the bullion to account for these gains (which I don't think there is), the value surely hasn't been attributable to increases in bullion values. Since bullion, in general, has fallen in value since the inception of this contest, much if not all the gain in "bullion coins" has to be in these coin's numismatic value, not bullion value.

classiccoin · October 21, 2006 11:19AM

some people may be quite surprised to find out how all these geniuses are doing so well.. if you want to play these silly games just look at what other price guides the pcgs price guide follows and its almost like picking horses by looking at tomorrows newspaper.. i thought most people already knew this but maybe not.. there is also a way to get price gains without the coin going up in price which anyone can figure out how to do with a little ingenuity.. before you give the nobel peace prize to saintguru just figure out the above.. remember when he was in the bottom and crying like a little girl asking people how they were doing it.. hehehe

classiccoin · October 21, 2006 11:22AM

i would give away how to get huge price gains overnight and the glitch in the system but then all these geniuses wouldnt look so smart anymore huh.. hehehe

saintguru · October 21, 2006 12:54PM

Oh...BOOOOEY HOOOOEY HOOOOEY! Me cry? I don't THINK so.

I don't see you on the leaderboard, classicoin....silly game I guess. You can't talk the talk until you walk the walk.

Green is not your best color.

If you win Jay we all want you to have another Saint Give-away!

TwoSides2aCoin · October 22, 2006 3:01AM

Oh rub it in , Jay !
edit to add:
Congrats, you've earned bragging rights

Humble pie is not very tasty.... I've been eating it since playing in this game.

PQpeace · October 31, 2006 8:52AM

Really no skill involved in this game..
just how much time we can put into it.
I made 475k in 1 day on standing lib quarters....
Just took some research...

Most days I have better things to do,so I will probably end up in 3rd place...

MadMarty · October 31, 2006 9:02AM

What GooGoo is in SECOND Place! Must be the guy who said he could cheat the system!!!

PQpeace · October 31, 2006 9:03AM

Here is an example how to make money in this game.

9212 1915 $20 PR 64 8 $50,000 $50,000 $400,000 Sell

This coin sold for 73k in an auction last week.

I bought all 8 of these at 50k.

pcgs will probably raise the price to at least 65k..

that will be a quick 120k gain..

If they were quicker raising prices of coins like this,I would be at 10 million,but the slowness of this game has turned me off to some degree..

Saintguru, you're destined to finish second.
But don't feel badly. The world needs ditchdiggers, too!
