A coin grader dies and meets the Devil—As told to CalGold by the Devil himself
Met the Devil at a local show and he recounted the following story. A coin grader is busy at work when suddenly he clutches his chest, collapses and dies at his grading station.

Re: It Pays To Know How To Grade......$36,000.00 Profit
Here's why I think *someone* has a cause of action. First, there are two things to keep in mind. 1. Assuming it's the same coin, PCGS gave two different grades. Note that this is not a "slider" situation -- this coin went from AU58 to MS62. 2. The 'value' of the coin is what one uncoerced person is willing to give another… -

Re: Describe your unpleasant coin show or coin shop dealer encounters.
Down on page 5 of this thread I doubt more than one or two people will ever see this, but it is an interesting take on "rude". A decade ago I was able to hit up a few Albuquerque coin shops while coaching a few decathletes at the Great Southwest Track Invitational.

Topps Comic Art - just another way they tried to further entertain kids
Hi everyone Hope you all had a great thanksgiving. Mine was nice. I'm gonna make this an ongoing thread as I add pieces from time to time - sorta like my "perspective" on the hobby thread.

My Alamo Coin Show Visit Today
Well, I attended the ACS today in San Antonio, TX. First coin show I've been to since childhood (a long long time ago). I was advised to park close in but everyone else must have got the same tip; because by the time I arrived I parked about 47 miles away . After a little hike, I made it to the entrance and forked out my…
