One dealer referred to it as an “odyssey”, definitions for which include: (1) a long, adventurous trip; and (2) an intellectual and spiritual quest. Undoubtedly, it is to the former definition that this dealer is referring, specifically a long, adventurous numismatic trip culminating with this year’s 2010 ANA World’s Fair of Money. The latter definition, however, may not be very far off the mark. A true-to-life cOinDysseus’ numismatic wanderings may have started at the Castle pre show or the Bay State show, both of which enjoyed decent crowds and brisk buying and selling on wholesale and retail levels. Collectors discussed purchases, kicked tires and many generally held back, awaiting the main event. One could almost detect a palpable excitement emanating from these collectors and the realization that the main course was still some time away. The first of three major auctions in the Boston area took place Saturday Aug 7, this one under the auspices of Bowers and Merena Galleries. Seven-figure coins never

Heritage realized $22.4 million in the opening night of their Boston ANA sale from the 638 lots that sold. Combine that with Bowers & Merena at $9.3 million and Stack’s adding another $4.2 million for a whopping $35,000,000 with much more to come.

On March 25, 2010 PCGS unveiled “The Big One.” After months of anticipation, PCGS Secure Plus was launched at the ANA Money show in Fort Worth, Texas to a crowd of eager collectors, dealers, numismatic press and industry leaders. Over the next 90 minutes, David Hall and I introduced the new program and tried to share as many program details as possible followed by answering as many questions from the audience as time allowed. What we attempted to explain in 90 minutes took PCGS well over a year to develop. In the days following the announcement, many began to contemplate the new program.

ACTIVITY
The most significant commercial event in the world of collectable Paper Money over the past month was the Heritage Central States auction, held in late April. Actually part of a two sale presentation at that convention, one focusing on coins and the other on currency, both, while still significant sales in their own right, were notable for the markedly smaller total prices realized achieved in each when compared with past offerings by the same firm at the CSNS venue. Although in the specialty segments with the most material offered, the sell-through rates ranged from quite respectable, to exceptionally good. The total handle for both sales was somewhat less than half of that achieved at the 2009 Heritage sales in
