Re: What If You Could Find Out The Truth Of What "REALLY" Goes On IN The Coin Business????
OH, and P.S. - I love collecting coins !!! Like it all, the auctions, the shows, the people, the grading services (I wouldn't touch the hobby with a ten foot pole if it was still like it was in the 70's).

Re: NGC slabbed by Blackstone
I acknowledge this is simplistic thought but sometimes it's best to start simple. I don't think Blackstone bought NGC to start collecting Reales but I do think it's at least fun to ponder why they actually did buy them. They must have seen value in the company. The question is: Where did they see the value? Is it already… -
