TROMPETER COLLECTION

  Ron Guth writes: "I found the following item in a recent
  Internet surf session and thought your readers might enjoy
  reading the "behind-the-scenes" story of the Trompeter
  collection:

  [The description of the collection of 400 high-grade U.S.
  gold coins begins on page 5 of the document.  The collection
  was the subject of a dispute over grading involving the estate,
  Superior Stamp & Coin, and the PCGS and NGC grading
  services.  The estate was unhappy with grades being assigned
  to coins in Superior's catalog of the second part of the
  Trompeter collections (190 coins), but that is only one of the
  disputes, which involve divorce, a fiancee, sons of
  acquaintances, hidden assets, and a million dollar "reward"
  request.  The document was filed in 1998.  Interesting, though
  one-sided, reading.  Every party to the dispute I'm sure, has
  their own opinion of the circumstances. -Editor]
