Re: The Ultimate Coin Quiz, TRY IT !!.... it's fun....
Ok......To provide a full analysis to date: You are saying that B and C are not correct since those are the only answers given to this point (B by Wekar, and C by me.) However, A) is obviously wrong since she likes UC "not at all", (i.e. = 0). Therefore, she can't "like" MS quarters less. (Unless you have a negative "like"… -
Re: Walter Breen Letter with 1846/46 quarter
Analyst: Your Model T analogy is apt. Obviously Henry Ford (Walter Breen) was a pioneer in car technology (numismatic research). But, if you were designing a car today (researching a numismatic issue today) would you use Ford's claimed results (Breen's claimed results) without question? Further, suppose Ford had a nasty… -

Re: Crazy Auction Results
