On 08 Apr 2004 17:19:46 GMT, espam (WinWinscenario) is
alleged to have written:

This auction is for the VIP Sacagawea struck by James Benfield, the
late head of the Coin Coalition and the father of the Sacagawea
dollar.


Yesterday PCGS ran a story that they had signed up "war hero" Jessica Lynch to
do up to 100,000 (!) signed slabs for resale.

Is there really a market for this stuff? Who's the next instant celebrity to
get a deal, Juror #4?

Tom


I'm trying to figure out her relationship to numismatics. is she a collector? if
it's just because she's famous, how about a few BTW halves signed by Jesse
Jackson? Olympic coins signed by actual athletes?

Wait, i've got it! Take a famous person, have them thumbprint a cameo proof then
slab it. In a few years, you've got a clear image of the celeb's thumbprint!
