Coin Crazy

Some ding dong on eBay spent over $3000 for a modern silver Yosemite silver coin graded MS69 by PCGS (shame on them for grading this stuff). News of this transaction has spread rapidly. The online coin news service Coinzine was essentially the first to bring this to my attention. Today I spoke with some good friends who are luminaries in the coin industry and they too were aware that this transaction had taken place.

All I can say is do not not squander your money on this sort of stuff. Email me for guidance on real rarities. Always pay as close to bullion price as you can for something you deem as collectible.
