Where Oh Where Can My Little Coins Be

My submission has been in quality control since Dec. 31/08 You guys talk about your submissions. Well, I do the same. After hours, weekends, you name it, even seconds to 6p.m. Florida time. I just Keep hopeing. I had 3 submissions that I had sent in on Dec. 18/08. Now I knew Christmas was around the corner, but in my mind that didn't matter. I just kept on checking. In my mind, that's ok as long as they come back with good grades. Then on New Years eve, I was eating breakfast at a restaurant,

Gold's 2009 Outlook

How to Invest in Gold for 2009 Despite a bit of downside in the immediate future, I expect gold to have a stellar year. Global economic turmoil and deflation will undoubtedly continue to influence gold prices in the near-term. A short-term pullback in gold prices from current levels to $800?maybe even a bit lower?is not out of the question. However, we expect gold prices to break new records during 2009. For our current perspective, I expect gold prices to reach as high as $1,300 during 20

Submission Tracking Fixation

Stop spreading it! Sheesh... Everytime I read about someone else obsessively checking their submission status both in the journals and on the chat boards it makes me want to check the status of mine. As of today both invoices in my submission are showing as "Received." They just got them today. It's generally not my practice to check the status of my submissions but once or twice a day, usually at the end of the work day. I have not yet contracted the subject specific case of OCD that some col

That was a great gesture, guys! Keep up the spirit.

It is heartening to see so many folks offer to help our newest young numismatist. If he comes around to accepting some coins, I will pitch in as well. I have coins under submission and like the rest of you, I keep checking its status every few hours, as if the status would change after business hours. But I can't help myself. This evening, I was only gone for a couple of hours and then when I came back, I saw a string of new posts. So many offers for help to mold a future numismatist. I a

My Priceless Coin

family heirlooms... Last night I was trying to catch up on reading all of the new year's journal entries. This helps to keep me involved in the hobby even when my funds don't allow me to be in "purchasing mode." One series of journals was discussing the NGC submission coupon and the struggle of deciding on which coins to submit. I had almost forgotten that I still have my 5 free submission voucher, so I immediately pulled out my raw coins and found myself in the same conundrum. I finally set

Lets Try To Help " top1flight "

We all Had to Start Somewhere I just sent a message to " top1flight ". If he wants I'll send him a couple of slabbed Canadian Coins to help get him/her started. How about a few of you guys out there pitching in to help out also. It must break him to try to collect coins. Maybe we can all pich in and get him engulfed in this hobby, with the feelings that we get when we get a fresh batch back from grading. As well as the anticipation of what he is getting sent to him.

"Willing It So" and my Silly Emotions

No, it's not a bad thing at all!! Greetings!! I believe I am in my fourth shade of blue as I have held my breath for about a week now awaiting the results of the grades of my submitted coins. I am glad the "Order Status" button is a virtual one and not a real one, because I am sure I would have worn that button out by now as many times as I have clicked on that. Today I noticed my status was "Quality Control" and I started saying all kinds of prayers to about a dozen different gods aski
