hey chris your judd 3 cent is sweet but

you are lucky NGC let it be a registry coin. Afterall it's not legal tender and sometimes NGC won't let legal tender coins in such as error's. Take for example the 1990-s no S proof cent. It's a 10k coin but it gets a single point on the registry scale. Being an obvious error coin the 90 no S by ngc definition shouldn't be allowed at all. BUT it is a notable error coin and has recognition. NGC has allowed certain notable error coins be included in the registry some like the 90 no S get a

1865 3CN JUDD-410 Pattern

1865 3CN Judd-410 ranks the same as a 1865 3CN Why is it that the 1865 3CN and the 1865 3CN judd-410 Pattern have the same point ranking? The J-410 pattern is MUCH rarer with only a total of 8 graded proof by NGC. Only 2 have been graded in proof cameo. Compare this to the Normal proofs that have a total of 175 graded by NGC. 1865 3CN F

1971-S Quarter Pop reports PGCS

Just a quick question Can someone who is a member of PCGS tell me what the pop report is for the 1971-S Proof Quarter in Ultra Cameo (or is it deep cameo with them?). I've gone back to 1952 (with the "superbird") on NGC and so far the 1971 quarter has 6 population in Ultra Cameo (4) 68 (2) 69). Of course after 1971, the numbers reverse for low number on the proof to high (er) numbers for the Ultra Cameo. How many 1971-S quarters has PCGS graded in Ultra?

Received Coins from NGC..with a PF70UCAM

got back the 15 coins I sent away for my signature sets.. I have found that I really do enjoy collecting my signature set coins even more than working on my registry sets.My High Seas signature set in the thematic and topical section has truly become a hobby.It requires more time also than just checking auctions and my budget to see if I can squeeze them in.I buy beautiful coins with sailing ship themes, {often from as many countries/continents, metals, shapes and historical periods as I can.

proof gold buffalo's and supply demand

price is right but i wouldn't worry anyway some of the flops as far as mint marketing of coins have turned into right pricey stuff in the real world. My real guess is it's a good hedge on inflation to have some of these and it would be smart to have a few for collector appeal. Afterall it is a beautiful coin.

Part IV-Return to Collecting

Submission Obsession Admission Yep, I've got submission fever! Had I been asked even a few months ago whether I had any coins to submit to the grading services, the answer would have been "Maybe a couple that seem undergraded." That was before I noticed what was happening with US proof coinage from the 50s and early 60s. Now that I've dismantled a couple hundred proof sets from that era, the answer is "boxes full"! I had never thought of myself as a collector of proof sets-rather, I accumulate

Proof Gold Buffalo

Is it all Hype? I've seen the adds in Coin World about the Gold Buffalo Dollar. But I haven't seen any adds advertising sales. Before other new issues are released there are adds promoting sales at a premium over the mint. Normally stating Pre-release or mint fresh. How do we find out how sales are going. Will the mint reach it's goal of 300,000 or is demand not enough. Can sales continue after the end of the year or do they stop and any extra coins be melted and recoined next year? I love m

Re: How do you find the numbers?

Redbook mintage figures, as well as NGC online census would be a start... Depending on what kind of mintage figures you're looking for, The Redbook guide to United States Coins is a great start. They publish all of the mintages of most of the coins minted by the United States. I'm sure if you found a copy, you could find out the mintages. NGC Census provides a reference as to how many coins were graded in a particular grade, and of a particular type. As far as how many products of a certain ty

How do you find the numbers

I have even e-mailed the mint. How many Proof Clad and Proof Silver States Quarters were actually minted and sold for each year. It is easy to tell how many have been graded, but knowing that probably leaves a huge number out there to appear one day and really melt down the now seemingly huge prices for coins that are not even 10 years old. I have PF70's in Clad and Silver, even both Delawares, but how do people justify these big prices. I started collecting these coins for my children, t

New to NCG....

Aquired some interesting coins yesterday! Unfortunately they're NOT graded by NCG so I can't put them in my set! Also aquired a HOT-Lips Morgan, but its in well, "not so good condition". It would probably cost more to send it in than what is worth. But its the IDEA that I own one! The coins I picked up yesterday were a 1912-S Lib Nickel F-12, and an 1837 Matron Head Large Cent MS61!!!! Got both of them at less than 200!!! THought about having them regraded by PCGS or NGC but they're alrea
