Kudos to SPHenson

I like seeing pictures from other collectors. Since I have vented about the registry decision, I will try to be positive tonight. I enjoy reading and seeing SPHenson's quest to have nice photos of his coins. I think all of us could improve our pictures, and I am working on mine. Thought I would give SP Henson a chance to compare pics. I am posting a pic of my 1942D Merc dime for all to see. Hope you keep at it SP.

The Best Value Wins Again!

because the bottom line is price when all other factors are equal. Long before I knew this venue even existed, I started an earnest effort to update my raw coin collection to slabbed for a number of reasons but mostly because of my advancing age and my desire to pass a manageable collection to my daughter Hana. Pretty early on I decided that I preferred NGC slabs. But, a preference is not blind-devotion and if the coin is available in a PCGS slab, at a moderately lower cost, I will buy the

A dream realized

A long time project comes to fruition. Today I entered the last coin to my Morgan Dollar collection! A complete set! When I bought my first Morgan in 1980, I hoped that someday I could lay claim to a complete set - and here I am 32 years (!!) later with all the standard business strikes in my collection. In the early years I bought 3-4 coins a year at my birthday and Christmas, or my then-wife would buy me one as a gift. As a young man with a wife and family, the budget just wasn't there for

1969 MS 66 FT Roosevelt Dime

Newest addition to my Roosevelt Dime Set Very tough FT coin, with only 14 coins graded with FT status and only one coin better in MS 67 FT. This is undoubtedly one of the toughest clad Roosevelts to find in FT grades. The Philadelphia mint coins from 1969-1980 are all very tough in FT, as well as the 90 P&D and 91 P&D coins. Couldn't resist this coin, when it was offered to me in a private transaction. This is the next to last 1960's clad dimes in FT. The other is the 69-D which I ha

Journal for the week of January 30 through February 5, 2012Started this week off with a great acquisition... 14 Roosevelt Dimes in PF70UC, from 1998 through 2011. Now, I have most of these in my collection, but needed the 98,99 and 2000. I know what they go for on eBay on a per-coin basis, and bid accordingly. I was very lucky, however, to get them at a super great price... $16.61 a piece, including a free NGC storage box and free shipping. I to

New arrival in German Occupation

The controversy over PCGS coins removal from World sets caused some delay in posting this Journal. But in the end NGC/PCGS/ICG/Anacs etc or simply raw coin as it was minted, the coin make core of a hobby. So, here's the core of my interests lately, German occupation coinage, a small set, total of 6 coins: 4 zinc (mentioned in one of previous journals), 1 pure steel/iron and one, nickel plated iron coin - the first 2012's graded arrival. This coin Is NGC MS 61, 50 groszy german occupation, Kr

Just a suggestion

With all the rubarb going on with PCGS I am not really impacted by the recent rubarb going on with NGC removing PCGS graded coins from world sets since I do not collect them but now that most of the knee-jerk responses, and thought out responses have subsided to an extent I believe I have an idea that might satisfy both sides (but then again it may not, ) I suggest that all of the people involved contact NGC and suggest that NGC offer a cross-over from PCGS to NGC slabs for say a flat rate of

I purged all my PCGS coins

and I'm feeling the pain I've been considering this move since I joined a year and a half ago to really have a true NGC competitive registry. The pursuit of points and my own excitement watching my registry grow prevented me from taking the plunge earlier and as time went by I continued collecting either PCGS or NGC coins basically looking for the coin I wanted regardless of the holder. The decision to remove PCGC coins from World Sets didn't really affect me since I don't collect them, but th

Privilege

Driving may be a privilege My cable company may feel that it is my privilege to be their customer and utilize their services. I do not. If their service is poor; if they don't treat me with a modicum of respect, I go elsewhere. People in a free market economy can do that. Driving - is a privilege, and most of the time a necessity for most folks. If you live in the middle of nowhere, few options exist. Therefore, a privilege and we need to comply with rule changes (which are usually made

Very Excited

Not a cut bid this time... I've just been watching the current Heritage auction session, waiting for one coin to cross the block. As usual, when internet bidding opened a couple weeks ago, I made an initial scan of the offerings and placed tiny bids on coins of interest. One of the coins struck me from the beginning as a prime target. Although it is more deeply toned than I generally like, this one seemed pretty to me. It also has low population: combined NGC and PCGS count is just 10, with

A Respectful Comment To #

I respectfully submit you have it wrong It is not our privilege to be here. It is NGC's privilege to have us as customers. If I treated customers at work the way NGC has just treated us, my rear end would have been fired in a heartbeat, and that is the way it should be. As to changing the rules, how many customers do you think NGC acquired because they allowed both in sets. And why do you think only NGC can be in sets. We are collecting the coin, not the slab it is in.

TAKE THEM ALL OUT...

All PCGS coins should only be in custom sets. If you want to win the NGC REGISTRY AWARDS, you should have NGC coins. Would you play for the JETS and wear a GIANTS hat to the park? It should be the same here. You don't have to collect NGC coins to be a member, you don't have to collect any coins to be a member. You can still talk coins, post coins, educate yourself about coins. I understand the frustration some members felt when they heard the anouncement, but it's no different than the frustra

I was Offered An Apology The Other Day......Honest. I couldn't Believe It... I've had to return a coin or two that had been labeled incorrectly, over the last 4 years.. wrong year, etc; but the last batch I got back from grading was something worth discussion. World Moderns are now being afforded "Special" Services, meaning Early Releases and special labels are available.

Outstanding Coin Acquired and it is PCGS

1889 CC VF35 Hi, I recently acquired an 1889 CC Morgan PCGS VF35 and can be viewed in the Morgan Registry set if you like. This was a major purchase for me and I really like it. I realize that sooner or later NGC will probably purge the PCGS coins from the U.S. sets also, but I love the coin and not the name on the holder. I am a proponate of NGC and PCGS certified coins, but the grading and shipping fees are getting out of hand for the average collector.Part of the reason I am saying that is

NGC Does Not Make Mistakes, Mr. Cogburn

A mistake usually generates some form of explanation or even an apology I must take exception to the recent thread of journals which suggest that NGC makes errors in its certification and encapsulation processes. Should such mistakes actually be made, most companies would admit to such a error, and some would even apologize. I don't remember NGC ever giving me an explanation; certainly not an apology. Therefore, mistakes were not made. Right? Wrong. Take the token below. Labeled as

NGC's angle on collectors market has always been it's community side. Yesterday they tore down the image that was worked on hard and long.... When You look at it, PCGS's coins removal from sets has been announced, and what happened? It was protested, ppl spoke out against it, and finally it was utterly ignored... But potential harm... oh man, I mean, ppl (my wretched self influded) started to think not only about NGC's policy, but "what's the point" of grading itself. Sorry folks, but corp

Garys February Coin of the Month

Februarys coin of the month is a beautifully conserved, chocolate-brown, NCS/NGC, 1858/6 AU-55 Great Britain halfpenny. This month I am beginning a three-part series of articles examining the coins of three nations with seated, feminine national personifications. A British halfpenny from my collection is the first coin in this series because I believe the Seated Liberty coinage of the United States uses as its model the Seated Britannia coinage of Great Britain.
