Slerk Pillar of the Community Russian Federation 1557 Posts	Posted 07/01/2020 07:21 am Now at one of the online auctions, a collector has put up 1 dollar coins from 1966 from the collection of Ted Williams with a unique NGC label. Does this label add to the value of the coin ? Report this Post to the Staff

Silver101 Pillar of the Community Canada 1081 Posts	Posted 07/02/2020 07:47 am An interesting feature of the TPG is that those coins that have been graded higher than they merit, or that have some weird cache of this sort, means that they will only be sold to people who are inexperienced enough to buy based on the holder. I'm watching a half dozen or so coins on ebay that are in this camp and therefore priced insanely high. The world would be better off it they could just be cracked out of their holders and stapled into 2 x 2s. They're perfectly collectable coins. Report this Post to the Staff

A Joe DiMaggio owned guitar, or an Eric Clapton owned baseball bat. Possible a coin collector in Massachusetts might find it compelling, but not too many others.

DoctorBurnzy Pillar of the Community United States 1378 Posts	Posted 07/07/2020 10:45 pm A guy I worked with who recently retired is Ted William's godson. His father played in the minor leagues with Roger Maris and others and was good friends with Ted even helping him manage the Washington Senators. Ted called up his dad telling him he needed him to help him out with the Senators. Friends for life they were. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_C..._(baseball). The next time I see him I'll ask him if he knows anything about Ted collecting coins. I hope he had a heckuva collection. https://www.NGCcoin.com/news/articl...ed-Williams/ Edited by DoctorBurnzy 07/08/2020 10:34 am Report this Post to the Staff
