Who Likes A Shiny Penny?

NGC 1996 D Lincoln Cent in MS 68 RD Yes this is a common 1996 D Lincoln Cent with billions minted in Denver. Still it is nice to find one in MS 68 RD condition. While NGC may not give MS 68 Lincoln Cents many points I still think they are fine coins to collect. Their prices are also much more reasonable. Enjoy!

Just for Fun Quiz

Greetings fellow Collectors Society Members.

VAMTASTIC

A New VAM Set Focused on Morgan Dollars in the GSA Soft Pack I have been lucky to acquire some VAMs in the GSA soft packs over the last few years, and decided to start a new registry set. These coins are rare enough already, it is kind of crazy to even try to assemble a VAM set. Here is one of the rarest in my collection to date, a VAM 117 for an 1878-P 7 tail feathers with a reverse of 78. To check out the rest, go to: http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/SetListing.as

United States Coinage for the Philippine Islands: The Half Centavo of 1903 - 1908

Today's Journal entry is the second installment in my weekly series on the United States coinage for the Philippine Islands. The first of the twenty slots that compose a NGC USA-Philippines Type Set is the Half Centavo of 1903 - 1908. The Half Centavo was designed by Filipino artist Melicio Figueroa and engraved by U.S. Mint Chief Engraver Charles Barber. The obverse design shows a young Filipino male seated next to an anvil holding a hammer in his right hand, his left arm raised, and in the

NGC 25th Anniversary

Wow, I like the retro holders! Today, I received a retro holder Silver Eagle. You have to see these in hand. The black core makes the coin and label sick out! Too bad NGC didn't stick with the black core from the beginning. How popular it's becoming, let's hope NGC might make this a option in the future. I would love to have some of my coins re-slabbed in these holders but, NGC doesn't offer it at this time. Outstanding NGC!!! Happy collecting! Jimmie To see old comments for thi

Each week I will describe in detail one of the twenty slots that compose a NGC USA-Philippines Type Set.

Update on my adventures with the 100 Greatest

or: Finally my insanity pays off! I previously wrote about a 1990 Prestige proof set that I purchased feauturing a "no S" cent. Now buying ungraded coins over the internet is always a risky proposition, and proof packaging does not always guarantee a spotless coin. However, after examining fairly high resolution photos, I was fairly convinced that the coin would grade PF69UC, and the asking price was what a PF68 or 67UC would bring. So as the photo below shows, I was correct. However, I o

NEW TO MY INSANE COLLECTION

I DONT'T THINK IT WILL STOP. Just thought I would post my latest to my collection and to share it with you all here today. I am coming off a terrible couple of weeks, my brother died and his services were Friday. I say this, because he was a highly decorated Vietnam veteran, and myself being a disabled Vietnam era veteran, I pay some homage to him to let everyone know, I am and always be very proud of him.

Trades and then more Trades

A month of major trading Friends, I have actually only sold 1 coin in the last month or so out of my sell or trade sets. The trades have been large with three clusters of over $1000 each traveling across the states to get a return of others to fill holes in the sets I am working on. I did two Roosevelt dime trades with Mavins that really popped my clad Roosevelt set into gear and last night a large trade of Silver Eagles to get some Mocom Dollars for the Modern Commemorative set.

Registry Set Milestone

With my most recent acquisition, a 1906 PR65 Five Centavos, my "USA-Philippines, Proof Issues" Registry Set has reached a major milestone; it is now 60% complete. Of all the coins in the USA-Philippines series the proofs are my favorites. Proofs really bring out the full beauty of artist Melico Figueroa's designs and many of the Gems in my collection are absolutely gorgeous.   USA-Philippines proof coins were struck for only five years and in very small quantities compared to modern proof

Historically significant 2 cent 1863 piece

Many Amercans know that "IN GOD WE TRUST" is on the obverse Many Americans know that "IN GOD WE TRUST" is on the obverse of all US regular issue coins, but if you are not a coin collector you probably aren't aware that the 1st US coin to display this motto is the 2 cent piece in 1864. This historical fact was one of the reasons I became interested in the series.I recently completed the registry set, the Somerville Collection in MS65RB except for the 1872 which I purchased in MS63BR.

My Gratitude and Thanks!!!

What a QUICK TURNAROUND Friends, I did a journal yesterday on variety dimes and expressed a thought that was in my mind in the 2nd paragraph. I had asked for a few dimes to help complete TPETERS set. Of course I knew a couple might help in a couple days or so. WOW what a great bunch of collectors!!! There were guys searching E-Bay and even PCGS dealers searching in the PCGS club. It's is a scholar showing that all of you performed and my thanks goes out to you all. In less than 24 hours the

1989 S Jefferson Nickel PF70 UC NGC

This even surprised me. Earlier I posted I upgraded my Nickel Proof collection and thought I would never be able to purchase any PF70 UC nickels under the year of 1990. One seller kept having a weekly auction of the 1989 nickel. They were going between $85 and $125.00, I placed a bid on one for this past Sunday for a max of $85.00 and no one bid on it after me so I purchased it for only $76.00!!

Variety Dime Hunting

Always on the look out!! Friends, I am starting to obtain a fairly large amount of the Roosevelt dimes. In my pursuits I check the pics of the dimes looking for doubling in hopes that I will find another variety to add trying to make up a 10 coin submission for NGC to grade. The Roosevelt dimes seem to be full of varieties that are not listed on the slabs and obtaining a handful is easy once you load large close ups in your set and check them. Many clad dimes do not have variety attributes lis
