    Does this mean he was cleared of the felony charges against him?

    Are you referring to the photograph case? I thought he was exonerated a while ago.

    Those were the charges. I never heard he was exonerated. Funny how when the charges are made it is huge news, and how easy it is to miss when they are dropped.

    Somehow, whenever I see the name "Spectrum Numismatics International", I can't help but think it sounds like something Spiderman or Captain America should be fighting.

    Spectrum? Very little, although the Hulk may still play around with Canadian.

    All that talent and no foreign. Is the reason they have 'International" in the company name is because they export US coins?

    In December 2003, a judge tossed out all charges against Ron Gillio and from the bench virtually lectured the prosecutor's office (the same grandstanding DA that went after Michael Jackson, by the way) they had absolutely no case against Ron to begin with.

    I am glad that Donn already posted about Ron. In my eyes there was never a chance that he was guilty.
    PNG member, numismatic dealer since 1965. Operates a retail store, also has exhibited at over 1000 shows.
    I firmly believe in numismatics as the world's greatest hobby, but recognize that this is a luxury and without collectors, we can all spend/melt our collections/inventories.
