Re: Great boxing photos
Sadly there's no footage of Joe Lynch, and when that happens all we have to go by are newspaper accounts from members of the press that attended the fights.

Does anyone collect Southern Sung coinage?
I just got nine Southern Sung coins in the mail and went to work attributing them. These are great fun (for me at least). What I found the most interesting is that many of them are dated, not just by reign period but by year. I am accustomed to thinking of most Chinese "cash" coins in terms of reign periods rather than by… -

Re: Monterrey, Mexico Show Report
Following up with the final days and thoughts to close out the thread. The second day (Friday), I had many tire kickers, but only one paying customer. But he made my show. He purchased many premium sets that I brought, which made my return home much lighter. We generally call Friday "Black Friday" because it is so dead.… -
Re: OH MY MY MY, bought a Gennie! The BIG TUNA Gold Dollar ***1856 D***
Genuine holders provide a great way to get a great coin at a great price. Without the problem that coin would be a minimum ten thousand dollar coin. Why not take advantage of it's situation to own an example of this rarity in a pcgs holder at a fraction of it's value? When the opportunity comes to upgrade to a graded… -

Given the location, why isn’t the WESPEX show a bigger draw than it currently is?
The WESPEX show is held four times a year in Westchester County, NY. I’ve been to the show a few times, and it is great. However, I would classify it as a strong regional show, and not nearly in the category of a “major”.
