MY 4 Cents Worth

(California prices) My impression of NGC has GREATLY increased over the past few months. I guess my first couple "body bags" taught me quite a bit, and I was disappointed at the "missed" imperfections. We live, we learn...My most recent submition of 12 coins resulted in 0 body bags, and a brand spanking new MS 67 1976-D Bicentennial 50C. What REAALLLLY impressed me though was the fact that I had requested my modern nickels be placed in a set, if they graded equally, in hindsight, I never

Designations

Have I gone completely crazy or just not remebering correctly? With most coins, the Proof coins are designated either Cameo or Ultra Cameo. But with the copper coins, the Lincolns specifically in this case, the coins have the added terms of Brown (BN), Red-Brown (RB) or Red (RD) attributed to them. I opened my Proof sets of Lincoln's just a few minutes ago to find that only the Techinical MS Grade was shown. Have I lost it or what? Just a week ago, the entire grade was shown in the list,

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

RE: Day is Done

Umm.... That is way I only buy slabed coins. Some dealers would have told you that the coin was not clean when you bought it, so you must have done it. So, you are lucky that Rich is an honest dealer, and is going to give you your money back.

Day is Done.....Gone the Sun....Three More Morgans bite the dust

They didn't have a chance. I could feel it the moment I laid eyes on these beauties at the local..... coin shop. One at a time he removed them from the box...the first was bright, filling the shop with dancing circular spot of sunlight as I turned the 1881cc Morgan over in my hand, wow! what a gem I though. Then he said look at this...and handed me the 1904 S Silver Dollar...but for the ever so slight toning, it looked like it had just arrived from the mint. I mean it look beautiful!!! Richard

MODERN PROOF? THEY'RE ALL THE SAME.

As the umpire said, "some are balls and some are strikes, but thet're nothin' till I call them." Why send them in for grading if they are all the same? Right. That?s what NGC and PCGS said. The reason dealers send modern proofs to be graded by the thousands is because NGC and PCGS will grade only a small percent 70. These are the ones that sell for big money. Are these 70?s nicer than the common 69?s? Of course not. If NGC and PCGS gave an honest grade the vast majority would be 70. Bu

Re: 69's or 70's..hmmm?

What is up with the US Mint? The Mint must not be doing it's job producing so many MS69 Modern coins. They need to get with the program and start changing the dies more often. I like Jacksons logic on what will make you more $ in the long run. If it wasn't for the registry sets, why would collectors pay so much for 70 Top Pop. coins anyway? I am with you Jackson all the way. I say perfection is in the eye of the beholder. Rainbow to

69's or 70's..hmmm

many things to consider..1990's gold eagle just sold for $36,000+!! I believe the time to invest in some 70's is too late.The past few years have seen hundreds of perfect 70's in population reports for every denomination..with many still uncertified I'm sure.The prices are relatively low for most though but with high pops probably won't see a great jump for a while.The 69's may increase at a higher ratio for these coins.Many coins of the 1990's have pops less than 50 as perfect 70's and still

PF/MS moderns what to buy

My oh my what to buy! I think many of the modern coins seen today could be quite valuable in the future. I especially like Susan B's, Sacs Pennies, franklins and kennedy's along with MS Gold bullion eagles. Many of these coins in MS65+ in the raw can be bought for near face value through various sources. My Key picks are 1980-1981(P/D/S) + 1999 Susan B in MS state Sacagawea 2000-present (P/D)in MS All years of franklin halves MS63+ Ikes especially 1971-73 in MS63+ Kennedy's up till 1
