NEWSLETTER

MEMBERS PROJECTS


This month we are pleased to announce some of our members current projects or areas of numismatics featuring their accomplishments.


Thomas Kalantzis (Tko-5 to our e-bay members) has been diligently working on his web site called “Ike Dollar Double Die” which is dedicated to the Eisenhower Dollar varieties of double dies. You can find his web site at the following: http://www.ikedollardoubledie.com/


Thomas, a well known attributor for Eisenhower double dies has over 45 years in the field of numismatics and has spent the last ten years researching doubled die Eisenhower coins as well as hub processes. He has over 200 doubled dies recorded and has established a strong relationship with Coneca and Ncadd.


Along with his staff members, Brian Vaile, provide a very informative and useful web site for those who collect double dies and need to know more regarding the Eisenhower Dollars. They even have a live chat room for discussions and for networking with other members.


WARNING! Hacker on the loose!


Also a note to pass along to others. This is from Thomas as well. It seems there is a scam email being sent to e-bay dealers to try and obtain information. He received an email that appeared to have originated from e-bay and was from a buyer who demanded a reply to his loosing $500 and that if Thomas did not reply, the hacker would contact the FBI.


This is a scam, so be on the lookout for this joker.
