Saw Mr. Weinberg on TV today as part of the program about "special" coins minted at the San Francisco & West Point Mints. It was a very informative program and showed them actually striking the Proofs, Gold and Platinum coins. It may have been a rerun and I couldn't tell you which channel it was on. But they had a lot of commentary on Gold & Platinum Proofs and Error coins by Fred Weinberg as well as a piece about how to tell fake coins from the real thing and also video taken at high dollar auctions and shows. Did anybody else see it? Very well worth the time to watch.

Yeah, that is a repeat. Many, many, many times it has aired. I've watched it a handful of times.

Thanks for the nice comments,
but I've aged a bit in the past
5-1/2 years.

While everyone has been complaining
about Global Warming, I've been
complaining for the past 12+ years
about another major problem -

The Polarity of the Earth has changed
in that time frame. My Proof???

At the top of my head, I used to be thicker,
and in the middle of my body, I used to be
thinner.

Now, due to the Changing of the Polarity of
the Planet, I'm thinner on the top, and thicker
in the middle !!!

I know it's not my eating habits (yea, I love good
dark chocolate, amoung other things), but it's
the fault off Mother Nature affect on the planet itself !

That's my story, and I'm stickin' to it ...........

From my university days and geology courses, the earth does flip its
magnetic poles every so often (the period changes but it's in the
range of 10K years). They figure this out by studying samples of
the core of the earth! Wonder if this will affect the prices of mint
coins this year? I would like to catch this show sometime soon...

Its not a big middle you think you have you just happened to be broad struck...

Yes, I saw it. I enjoyed watching the inside the mint stuff, but the education about collectors was definatly not geared toward collectors.
