NGC Registry now includes scores for entire range of XF and AU grades

Many Registry users complained that XF and AU-graded coins received the same scores and were not broken out by the numeric grades. With this feedback in mind, NGC will now be showing different scores for XF 40, XF 45, AU 50, AU 53, AU 55, and AU 58, as well as for Plus and Star-graded coins. This will involve a recalculation of many Registry scores, but will now recognize the value and rarity differences of these grades. As a result of this enhancement, many sets are marked as updated if they

It is now complete

but far from finished Greetings my fellow collectors; Today I filled the last open slot I had for my Franklin Proof set. It is now complete, 100%. I completed this set from all raw coins and submitted to NGC for grading. Although it is complete now, it is far from done as there are numerous slots I am in the process of upgrading. In fact as I type this, I have more raw Franklins I recently purchased on their way to me now. This was my "goal" though for this Franklin set. To do

First of the First

What precedes a "First Releases" and "Early Releases"? "Release Ceremony"! It took some effort to get this designation on this gold 2012 W $5 Star Spangled Banner Commemorative in PF 70 UC. Its permanent new home is in the museum collection at Fort McHenry National Monument and Historic Shrine in Baltimore Maryland. This is a 3rd Journal Entry relating to my efforts of these gifted coins. Other two entries: My Pending Set Donation dated 3/27/12 I Was There! dated 3/7/12 Plan

Have you ever bid on a coin, expecting to be outbid ...

... only to discover the next day that you won! This happened to me on March 31st. A number of certified US/Philippine proof coins of all denominations and years were listed for sale on eBay by a very reputable, long time dealer on March 24th. All were listed at what I considered to be a fair market price, and I thoroughly expected for most of them to sell for much more. I would have loved to bid on them all, but my budget would have to stretch a bit just to obtain one, so I set about decid

An interesting day!!!

Oh the wheat and indian coppers---- Hey Buds, I had a swell time with Ken today as we met to talk about coin stores, grading, and customers. I went through a bunch of coins and found 3 DDOs and a Indian Head from the 60s with a broken 6. We did allot of talking and less grading I guess trying to find out about each other.My son and I met him at his house, with two daughters and his wife. He will be opening a coin store in Greenville, SC soon and is trying to get his ducks in a row. After

Three Point Wonders

If there is anything that rubs me the wrong way, its paying $300 for a classic coin thats worth a paltry three registry points. When it comes to points, I am not as much interested in total points or competing with other collectors as I am competing with myself. It is this sense of competition and pure absurdity that I just cannot tolerate one-point slaps in the face or three-point wonders. In a manner of speaking, I am also competing against the points themselves. For instance, I have an M

I'm Surprised!

I'm eager to see the conservation results by NCS ... I submitted a 1959 Official Hawai'i Statehood sterling silver medal (serial number 26) for NCS conservation and NGC grading. I was expecting a details encapsulation as some sort of chemical layering and reaction was occurring on the medal's reverse. This is the lowest serial number for the medal I have encountered and picked up this prize just for the serial number. I checked the medal's status. It graded MS-66! Now it's a bigger prize

As W.K.F says it----A MESSAGE FROM THE GODS!!!!!!

What a conversation I had TODAY!!! Friends and Society-- The day started off regular----No work so I hung out at a friends business looking for remodel jobs that may come up. I got a small one where a 150' barn wall was falling and 50' of roof was on the ground. I took my tractor and truck full of tools and got the girl standing with most of a ridge look. Tomorrow I will build a temporary wall inside the barn and fix the broken trusses to re construct the block wall that has fallen.

Upgrades

2 Upgrades to my Franklin Collection Greetings once again my brethren and sisters of the round; Today I upgraded 2 of my Franklin Proofs. The 1958 and 1959. The 1959 is a "Key Date" in the Franklin Proof series with less than 1% of total mintage exhibiting enough cameo contrast on both obverse and reverse to warrant a cameo designation. I was lucky enough to land a PF67CAM. I wish everyone great luck in their search for what they seek. Mike (moondoggy) To see old comments for th
