System WORKS!

No mint order problems, no delivery problems, no pedegree problems. I ordered two of the 3-coin SAE 20th Anniversary sets online within the opening hour. I started trying right at noon and my order was accepted twenty minutes later. I received the coins in the mail on October 16 despite the fact that my order status on the Mint's website never indicated a delivery earlier than December. Following the special submission directions posted on the NGC website, I completed my NGC invoice online an

U.S. MINT - What is the problem?

Again my order gets dropped, what's the deal? I had ordered the "American Eagle 20th Ann Silver Set" & "2006 American Legacy Collection" & "San Fran Old Mint Proof" 15 minutes after they went on sale (took that long to make the order). Do you think I am getting them even after getting an Order # and everything. Reading that the fill rate has not been completed, I was figuring that THIS time I will get the coins that I order, especially after I was able to place them minutes after they

FOUND MINNESOTA QUARTER WITHOUT A "DOUBLED DIE" !!!!!!!

By the time they have determined the dozens and dozens and dozens of varieties...mine may be rarer!! I just finished reading another article on the Minnesota doubled tree-doubled die-doubled rock-random blob-floating speck- quarter dollar.I actually went and looked at the 2 I own, one in a fold album that I fill with change recieved quarters..and my PF69DCAM silver set I get each year with the flag on them and it takes a 10X loupe and serious eyesight to see the details of those tiny trees.The

Re: should they be graded

HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU RECEIVE THE 3 PIECE SET ALREADY?? According to the official web site...those sets are back ordered and not expected to ship till 12/8...and yours was shipped out early enough to receive it on the 14th of Oct.? that would mean it shipped around the 9th or 10th of Oct. just how many did you order to get such nice treatment? inquireing minds want to know...I think

Received my 2 $5.00 San Francisco Today

Fire the Quality Control person at this mint. The reverse of both of my coins would not grade Pf-67 or Pf-68.On the shields right side there is missing metal on the outer rim of the shield at 3 oclock and minute specks where the metal did not flow. Who ever was in charge of quality control should have spotted this error.I would not bother sending in either to be graded they are that bad. I can only hope that bullion will increase in value to make these coins profitable. I also use a 30 power

S.F. $5 Proof Dollar

S.F. $5 Proof Dollar just arrived yesterday. I had ordered 21 of them and they arrived yesterday to my surprise. I wasn't expecting them until November at the earliest. Two of them were loose outside of the plastic lens. Eleven of them are being sent to NGC for grading and then I will sell all but one of them on ebay. ***Howard

EBAY Feedback Needs Some Changes

the angry reply system doesn't work I have been buying and selling coins on occasion on Ebay for several years now. Far from being a dealer, I usely sell my old coins after an upgrade or if I see an item being sold for well under its value I warily might purchase it and re-sell for $20 or so profit. I have 878 positive feedbacks from 633 different ebayers of which 300 are sales.I HAVE 4 NEGATIVE FEEDBACKS. One was sorta my fault..sold a vg/f barber for $13 and guy didn't like it and emailed me

Nothing of value, just some coins in a bag

there's a 30 degree out there as well... My friend at work found out that I had an interest in coins when we stopped in a shop I found next to my favorite Indian buffet. I picked out an Indian Head cent folder, green and used and of a type that I like. She mentioned a bag of coins collected through her travels, but said there's nothing old in the bag and surely nothing of value. I said that she might be surprised at the catalog value of some relatively recent world coins and if we found any

NGC Turnaround Times

Three Weeks and a surprise... I recently sent in my third set of coins to be slabbed and graded to NGC. Hearing all the complaints about the time it takes to get coins back I was not looking to see these coins until next month sometime. Well it has been just about three weeks and my coins show that they have been F/I/S. This is not even the good news. I was surprised when I clicked on the link today to see what the grading on the coins would be. I sent in eleven coins and two of them came

More PCGS vs. NGC - 20th Anniversay Gold Eagle Sets

How can 20th Anniversay Gold Eagle Sets that have not been shipped AND will not be shipped until December 2006 be auctioned on EBay as PCGS or NGC MS/PF 70? What if none of the coins from the mint even grade out at MS/PF 70? What if the EBay seller doesn't get coins that grade at MS/PF 70? Is that person suppose to ask forgiveness for auctioning something he doesn't actually possess? Sounds like spectulation that if it doesn't pan out should require a court appearance afterwards. Well, we

The Collector

A short story I was called in soon after The Collector was killed. It wasn?t an accident. The place was a mess so they told me to wear a mask. I held my breath instead. At first there didn?t seem to be any rhyme or reason to it all. I could be gracious and say there were piles everywhere but heaps would describe it better. But no, there was a pattern. Plastic items occupied one nook while another was almost entirely paper. I couldn?t even identify some of the plants near the entrance but the

working on my sets

a labor of love spent a few hours this morning adding some of the coins I just got back from NGC to my Signature set....I know that I probably spent a few dollars more encapsulating a couple of them than the coins are actually valued at. Their worth to me is a different subject though...worth every penny to slab them and become part of my High Seas signature set...Of the 8 coins I added today {half dozen to add later} I included my first 2 gold coins for this set; 2 coins from the Middle East;

?Indiana, we are simply passing through history. This, this IS history.?

Belloq, Raiders of the Lost Ark. What an exciting time for the humble coin collector/consumer: to be alive and actively collecting during a transformation in our nation?s coinage. Within a 10 year span subtle to dramatic artistic changes have occurred to so many of the U.S. denominations: the Sacagawea Dollar; Washington Statehood Quarters; Jefferson Westward Journey Nickels and the ?Return to Monticello?; American Buffalo Gold $50s; reverse proof (ooooh, aaaaaah) silver and gold Eagles; and

Small Local Coin Shows

sometimes some very nice coins can be found.. I just got back from a small coin show{around 30 tables} in Ocean City Maryland. What a great chance to get away, alone with my wife, for a few days to the beach. Although the weather was a bit wet for the first half of our trip, it was a great relaxing time together and I went to the coin show at the convention center for a couple of hours while she looked for end of summer bargains at the clothes stores.I found most items being sold at above tren

re; broken planchet error

looks to me like you got free lent from the mint. sorry pic not clear enough. It might be another loch ness monster. I would add that the red is the wrong color to possibly be copper after that much time. Copper oxidizes green. I am almost positive from looking at your pics that you have a red thread of some type. It's defintly NOT the loch ness monster. Sorry to have gotten your hopes up. VBG
