    Sorry to see your coins up for sale. It looks like the guy is getting out of the hobby, or is really hurtin' for some cash. He's got two collection up for auction.

    Hey maybe your two coins will help him out of the trouble he is in???

    I won't sell mine!

    I met Marty at a local show. He gave me one and I think it is great. People shouldn't sell gifts!

    My Mad Marty weenie coin is a precious star in my collection. That guy's a jerk, or MAYBE is raising money to ransom his daughter back from terrorists.

    Buy it back, Marty, and save it for a soul who proves him/herself truly worthy.

    << <i>What is an NGC sample slab??? >>



    That set (the 2 coins) were made for auctioning off to Charity for the ANA youth fund. Of those slabs there are only 50 of each.

    But keep watching there will be another one soon!!! But not the $1 weenie!image

    IIRC, it was a $50 contribution to charity. I know because I bought a pair. It looks like our old friend will double his money on the deal. Forget the US Mint issues, when is Mad Marty coming out with the next limited edition?

    It wouldn't, many were obtained through non-giveaways. I think Madmarty was being funny in his OP.

    As stated earlier in the thread I'm busting Relayers stones about this. As far as care, people who bought the slabs at the charity auction can do whatever they want with them!

    Looks like there is a small fortune in the Weenie market - although I'm sure it has its' shortcomings. Seems to be smoe stiff competition on Ebay for this hard coin.

    Not only are you using foul , purposely misspelled words, and inviting others to post pictures of the male genitalia ; but most disturbing to me is that you are mocking PCGS on their own site . More then a few members have gotten the boot for less.
