I sent an email stating that I thought these were some ugly forgeries and was told that they had COA's and they believed them to be authentic. Did I jump the gun? I would apologize to the auctioneer if I was wrong, but I do not believe so.

James,

You wont be apologizing anytime soon :D

Post-stroke Mantle.
Oh wait, that was Hubbell.

:mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

James,

If you don't mind me asking, what auction house were they at? Did they respond cordially?

Not really cordial, but not threatening. They are called Silvertowne. I am not trying to really out them, but can you not even compare the 2 Mantle autos and see that there was no way the same person signed these?

You have to understand that when I say this to a fellow auctioneer they probably look at me like a snitch or that I am jealous of them.

These may take the cake for ugly fakes of the week.

Silvertowne the coin dealer from Indiana?

Leipsic, Ohio

Probably comes with a story...

"I saw Mick in a bar, I just happened to have a couple of balls (and a blue ball point pen) with me and despite the fact that he was really drunk, he signed them for me."

I was surprised to see this as Silvertowne has a great reputation in coins. This is on their website:

"SilverTowne Auctions, LLC holds periodic auctions of coins at various locations, as well as online. SilverTowne Auctions is a joint effort between SilverTowne, L.P. of Winchester, IN and Richard Howard, Inc., dba Howard’s Coin Shop, of Leipsic, OH. Our combined experience in rare coins is well over 100 years!"

OMG. Howards, the same company that sold all the crap on shop at home. Tony P's best friend. Great company:rolleyes:

Wow. hideous Mick's..

Holy shnikees!!!!

I am by no means an expert on autographs but even I can see the shakeyness and hesitation in these autographs.

The only problem with that story is that I saw Mick a few times and on a couple of occasions he was fairly hammered or hung over and he still seemed to write his name very well. That's a clutch performer!!
