    I can also confirm that if Whitman was interested in purchasing Longacre's Threads™, they are certainly welcome to make an excessive cash offer.

    I thought somebody posted the other day that this was a done deal?

    Was the Whitman-Stacks story going around anywhere but here?

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    Whitman neither contacted me for the exclusive rights for my soon to be published article, so that rumour can be sent into rumour hell to be destroyedimage

    What was the question?
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.
