questions

Teaser? I was trying to help! You will get more answers on the chat boards than here!!! If anyone thinks that all chat boards are mindless they haven't tried NGC's example! E-mail accounts are FREE! Well I have never paid for one that is. As some suggested I will avoid looking at this place forevermore!!!

re: questions also

some of us unlucky collectors spend our money on collecting and cannot just go out and "buy" a email account to ask questions with. to join the "chat" it clearly says you may not use "free" emails such as yahoo and such. wich is kind of inconsiderate to those who have used yahoo and such for many many yrs. i pay yearly to join in groups such as collectors soc. and such, i have learned many new things about collecting from using the "journals" and if you think about it "journals" are used

Re: Questions

Respectfully, I disagree.... Personally, I never visit the chat boards. Like any other chat room, they tend to be full of clutter and mindless prattle and very seldom have anything to do with coins. Most all of the collectors will visit this home page, so the chances are somebody, somebody who doesnt mind answering questions, will see it and respond. This is like a phone call, you dont HAVE to answer... you dont even have to read the post. There are many collectors who enjoy sharing the

1917 S Lincoln Cent is in rough shape....

Take a look and advise me please...is it worth anything in.. its present condition, can it be salvaged/restored? The two darker pictures show the actual color of the coin, the bleached out pictures are to help you see the coins condition. There is a shalac type substance on the upper obverse and some specks of corrosion as well. The shiney check, jar line and shoulder is a scuff. Any help will be appreciated... Thanks STeve 1917 S Pen

cleaning...what it looks like?

i am way to new to notice the imperfections... that appeir when a coin is cleaned. i know only 1 thing that if they use a rough item to clean it will show extra "hair bunches" like if you use a brillo pad on a pan. but what am i looking for if it has been dipped and other forms of cleaning. i have many coin books but none that explain or picture a cleaned coin. this is a big issue only on the full sets i have ae: peace dollar and morgans. is there a good book with photos and close ups on wh

NGC Turnaround time

Getting Faster Yes I too have noticed that my last 2 submissions currently at NGC have gone through alot quicker than previous orders. which makes me extreemely happy. Especially since I have 2 orders at PCGS that have been there for 2 months now and everytime I call all I get is arrogance and the statement next time use the regular service for $30.00 per coin for 15 day turnaround. Usually I reply why would I do that when NGC can do it for 1/2 the price in 12 to 15 days. I don't think

re: turn around

i to love the fact that ngc works hard to get the coins back to me in a timely matter.on my first send in, 2 gsa cc morgans, came back within 8 days of sending. i use overnight so that there is less tym for usps or others to have in transit. but the fact that they came back so fast is heart warming to me. they do a gr8 job and do it fast. i am sending in my next 8 coins in on the first of the month. thanks ngc!!!!!!!!!

WOW! Talk about FAST turnaround

That has got to be a record for NGC!! I sent my coins in with an early bird tier and they were received on the 17th and today the 24th they have been finalized/imaged/shipped that is only 7 calander days no where near the 24 work days they are advertising for turn around for early bird service so I have to say I am very pleased and just wanted to shar my experience with all of you because I always see how long it took but never see anyone post if they got their order done faster than expected

More military coins...

what about teh bicentennial quarter?? your list is somewhat difficult to read, in that you sometimes mention the proof and ms versions of the mods, but not always, so i will assume that you meant to list both. first, the 1976 quarter has a drummer boy on the back, which would seem to fit your plan. the 1982 washington half has gw in his army regalia likewise, the lafayette dollar. all teh texas commems (the reverse has the alamo on it) lexington (i don't remember if you listed it)

Food for thought!

Richard told me (he's my local, Honest, coin dealer at "The Copper Coin Shop here in Marquette, MI,) that particulally with Morgans today..... I need to be careful what I'm buying. He says a lot of the old timers who collected coins years ago wouldn't think twice about shining up their coins. He says they'd buff them up and make'em shine so their collections looked real nice...today alot of those coins are falling into the hands of the next generation or the generation after that and being liq
