Walter, Walter, what have you done :-) Don't blame me! I just started that table for fun. Like you, I am also astonished at how much people are willing to pay for a meteorite because it hit something. Of course, I am also astonished over how much people are willing to pay for essentially a speck of dust which looks like a dead gnat -Walter Branch - Original Message - From: Martin Altmann altm...@meteorite-martin.de To: meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 12:55 PM Subject: [meteorite-list] WG: Witnessed Falls and Hammers - warning, LONG.

Re: [meteorite-list] WG: Witnessed Falls and Hammers - warning, LONG.
The same could be said about the meteorite coins that seems so popular. I'm a meteorite collector and a coin collector but all I see is a way to get big bucks for cheap material, close to a scam in my view. ... but that is of course my view and my view only. Feel free to buy expensive meteorite coins with all of your hard earned cash, I will get my true meteorites cheaper with less competition. :-) /Göran Martin Altmann wrote: Hmm, honestly I never was aware the last decades that this category hammer had any meaning or importance.
