TO SELL OR NOT

Get her graded ,,,or sell her Friends and society, Well I haven't been too journalistic lately due to other hobbies. I have been selling coins on the side to upgrade later. I sold a 1894-O graded by some off grading company (USCG) that was MS64, I figured it would hit AU50. I have thought quite a few times that I wished I got her graded before I sold her. Hopefully I will renew my subscription before I sell too many ungraded coins. Luckily for now I have been selling the 3 point Morgans

The world is a tale, told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying.....

Gold is over $1,370? Go figure! I read WKF's posts, and agree that gold is going to continue to soar, at least for a while. For thousands of years, gold has always been the investment of choice that people run to in times of turmoil. And boy, is there a lot of turmoil in the world today. Between the continuing economic problems, which have affected the entire world, to the threat of violence and terrorism that seems to be spreading around the world as well, these are perilous times.

$1500 GOLD BY YEARS END! $30 SILVER???

I've had several past posts saying "Buy Gold Now". Do I still believe that? Greetings Collectors, The "broken record" continues. Yes I still believe in buying gold now. As I've said this ride is just beginning. I truly think that there will be a steady climb in the yellow metal with occasional 2-7% pull backs. One will be up-coming on Nov. 3rd just after the election. (just 3-weeks away from tomorrow) I also think that gold will reach $5000 in just 4-8 years and only then will we see some ma

THIS NEW SITE "IS NOT" FINISHED...yet

This is a feature that was ON the old NGC C.S. website but is still "NOT" on this, the "New One"... Greetings Collectors, I've been languishing of late, stuck at "ranking 247" and unable to even re gain the points lost on my Walker site points "downgrade", and even after a few additional coin purchases, I am getting only a little closer to where I was before The "Blindsided Daylight Robbery". I, and all of you that had a Walking Liberty Half dollar set saw your total points shaved off in tha

Recent Purchases and an Interesting Contrast

Two recent purchases and the quality of New Orleans Mint coins. Greetings collectors, these past two months have been an active period of acquiring coins for my collection. My New Orleans Morgan Dollar collection now stands at 14 coins, all acquired within the last two months and partially paid for by the sale of existing coins from my collection. My two most recent purchases made just this past week was an AU-55 1886-O and a MS-65 1900-O Morgan Dollar. With the 1886-O Morgan Dollar valued

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS ERROR BEFORE?

upon examination of a p+d kennedy set i made, i found a error that i have never seen and have checked numerous sites to no avail before thinkin "oh yeah, i'm in a collector society" 2007 D minted Kennedy half in MS 68 with a normal obverse and a reverse error that makes the arrows look like a sort of chain of arrowheads and the only thing i can compare it to is something that you would find on a firearm that takes chain ammunition. this caught me by surprise and now i need to know what it is.

Taking a Shot

can't find a treasure without digging a few holes....... I'm an ebay peruser. I like to browse through and try and find bargains. First I look for specific dates for holes in my active sets--then I look at bulk and mixed lots. I have to humbly say that I've done very well over the years. Bulk lots have landed me a few treasures but there is risk involved. You see, I understand that if I buy a bulk lot from a dealer who specializes in coins or has a really high feedback--then it is almost 1

An October Assesment

...and other musings. I've been meaning to write this journal entry for a good 6 weeks. For one reason or another, I'm just getting to it now. As some of you may have noticed, I've been juggling both my competitive and custom sets around. I'm trying to more accurately reflect my collecting interests. For example, the one change that maybe is my saddest change is the switch from a full set of Morgan dollars to a one per date set, plus my Carson City set. I love the Morgan dollar; as I've stated

SAVE "MUCHO" $$$ ON EBAY COIN PURCHASES!

Absolutely "EVERYONE" can save on not only your eBay coin purchases, but everything you buy on eBay. Along with many, many other items you buy elsewhere online!!! Greetings Collectors, In this economy, me trying to save money has almost gotten down to an "art". I have always been very frugal. I will still bend over to pick up a penny that's laying on the ground. If it's a quarter, I'll almost fight you for it. (not really) But you get my drift. A fellow collector here told me about a way I c

More Dreams, Procurement, Completion, & on to the next one... And Congratulations To...Greetings Collectors,Well, after almost two weeks waiting for my last 4 1996 Silver Eagles to arrive, they finally did. I tried to strike a deal with this vendor who sold them because it appeared that he had several hundred. I also thought he had probably bought them back in the day like I had, and only paid $6 or $7 per for each but, I couldn't get him to budge off the $50 price tag for each. On top of t

Certify or Not - That is the Question

Found some retired US Coins I ran across a box of foreign coins on Monday that I'd forgotten about over the years. While looking through them, I ran across the leftovers from some of my past collecting efforts. Obsolete, I prefer retired, US coins from the 19th Century. Everything was there, Large Cent, Two Cents, Three Cents (both silver and nickel versions), the "No Cent" Nickel, a Half Dime. Well, almost everything as I vaguely remember one or two examples of Half Cents that must be ar

Good Deal or Bad Deal?

would probably be a hung jury Well I pulled the trigger today on a deal I found a few days ago and have been hemming and hawing over. It's the classic coin collector dilemma--on one hand, I'm not sure I want to collect the series--yet on the other hand, if I ever change my mind then they may never be this cheap again. The series in question was the proof presidential dollars. In general I usually collect moderns in albums, I won't go into all of the reasons why I do this but 2 big reasons

Words Can Not Adequately Describe?

It?s hard to describe the fun I am having assembling my latest registry set based on New Orleans Morgan Dollars called, ?Born on the Bayou?. Greetings all, a little more than a month ago I started a new registry set based on New Orleans minted Morgan Dollars. Little did I know at the time that what started as a whim has turned into a source of great enjoyment. Since then, I have learned much about coin collecting in general and the Morgan Dollar in particular. While I cannot adequately describ

A SET THAT GOES BACK TO MY SERIOUS BEGINNINGS...

I saw this album in the bottom of a box at the bank and thought I would bring it home for a day or two... Greetings Collectors, The set pictured is one that goes back with me to the early eighties. I haven't seen these since they were deposited in one of my boxes years ago. It was in a box I don't go into very often because most of the coins are raw and the majority of the box is rolled and boxed silver bullion. I had even forgotten this set was in there. But I had to get to the bottom (of t

BULLION, WALKERS, KENNEDYS & WASHINGTONS

What a "Grab Bag" of Joy... Greetings Collectors, I went out of town this morning and got back this afternoon and it looks like a trip to the bank tomorrow before work. When I got home, I always look to see if one of the keys is missing to either one of our "big lock-boxes" at our mail kiosk. This always means that in someones smaller personal box there is a key that will open one of the two "big boxes". Today was one of those days and when I opened my small box with my key, there sat anothe

Oh don?t get me wrong, I pretty much have my coins around 24/7 but Sundays provide me with the time, free of the distractions of the everyday world, to thoroughly enjoy my small but growing collection. As it is the beginning of a new month, I wanted to look at my progress against my collecting goals. I was pleasantly surprised to find I had made more headway that I thought.
