Now I get it

The story of the ugly rouble I took the plunge and became a Society member for several reasons. The coins in my very small collection of Russian coins were scattered and in disarray, with some pretty valuable ones being stuffed in envelopes and subject to being lost. Then I learned from bad EBAY experiences. (Those high ratings don?t necessarily mean much.) And my long-time coin dealer on the East coast recommended NGC for any coin purchase. My main area of interest is Russian coins date

Why bother to buy?

What would you do? I bought 3 coins thru e-xxx and when they arrived I was quite happy with what I received. I sent them to NGC for crossover and in anticipation of what I think is true I said I think they might be one grade high , and I would be happy to have them crossover one grade lower. Low and behold all three were regected for "MARKS" which I can't seem to find. Is this a ploy by NGC to try and force the "other" graders out? And if so should I break them out of the present slabs and sen

Re: Quantity vs Quality/Rarity

Nieces and nephews? That sounds like my rationalization. I just spent about $500 from a reputable dealer for a beautiful coin rejected by NGC for slabbing. So my take is buy what you alone like best. And always consider slabbing first. Have fun!

Another Western Addition

Pike's Peak Or Bust.... ... or maybe the discovery of Pike's peak and it's discoverer. This is an ANACS graded so called dollar medal of Zebulon Pike. The front has a front bust view of him, and the reverse features Pike's Peak. I've included a pic of the obverse.

Re: Quantity vs Quality/Rarity

Key dates and CC's If you are going to buy common date Morgans, I would go for a high grade PL and DMPL. But your better off buying key dates and Carson City's, as they will always give you your best returns when selling them. As for buying only slabbed coins? That is the only way I will buy the key dates and the Carson City Morgans. But, that is just me and not every one will buy slabbed coins. The only reason I do for the key dates is that they sell faster when slabbed. Most major Auction Ho

Quantity vs Quality/Rarity

Should I buy..... The question... Buy quantity or quality/rarity. I thought about this today as I was looking through some Morgans. There were several common nice dollars to be had....but I thought... should I buy 1881-S dollars, nice and brillant or 1882-S PL dollars, which I can give out as gifts to the neices and nephews... or should I wait and buy low mintage or higher graded slabbed coins? There are so many nice ones to buy....what to do? Help Thanks for reading

Look at this...

What kind of error Morgan is this? Went to the coin shop yesterday, May 2nd. As soon as I got there he pulls out a long box with 'new' stuff all priced out and ready for my preview. I pulled out a nice 1880-S BU Toned Morgan beauty. (I'll post that picture in another article.) Anyway, going through about 20 or 30 coins and from the side of me he slides a coin to me and says take a look. I look at the obverse.. a few neat marks. I turn it over and notice the goodies. Some sort of blockage on th

Re:Look at this...

well.... it looks like it was struck through grease. At the first picture I thought it was just wear but when I saw the second and third picture I knew it was just struck through grease or something like that, I have seen it on many coins this is one of the most of the design gone because of this type of "error" I have seen in awhile though. I dont think there is any vam#'s assigned to any grease struck through errors though so dont really know if it would carry a premium over a regular morgan

RE: COA of coin

Yeah, it's authentic but not original! As I see it, and I am no professional, any original coin surface that has been altered in any way will be body bagged. Fortunately, the best 3rd party graders (NGC/PCGS) do grade circulated coins. But heavens forbid that even a circulated coin had ever been cleaned. That's body bag material too. I have had enough body bags to last me a while!!!! Enjoy it for it's beauty! It still retains it's metal value. 2006sSacag

Re: COA

Is it really? I'm not an expert on the American Eagles, but just reading the coa scan, I would read it as the U.S. Mint did the orignal coin, but not the gold plating. What does everyone else think? Also, the copyright notice down at the bottom right is not from the US Mint. It looks to me like it says The Merrick Mint. To be honest, if it were my money spent to get the coin, I don't know if I would have.

Marine Corp Dollar

Can someone help me understand PCGS vs NGC? Does a PCGS MS70 rating warrant such a high premium over an NGC rating? The eBay auction I mentioned yesterday for a Marine Corp Dollar is up to $760+. The same guy has an NGC Marine Dollar, bidding is at $95. Thoughts, anyone?

Looking Up Coins

Does NGC offer the same as PCGS I can easily enter my pcgs graded coins into their site and confirm the coin in a holder. Can you do this with NGC? I can't seem to find it if you can--help!

Re:colored silver dollars

its rather simple there is no space for a colored coin in the registry so its rather easy to collect a full set without having these coins in there. the reason these cant be graded is because they were post mint which means they were colored after they left the mint or plated after they left the mint, and no respectable grading company will grade any coin that has been messed with like that after the coin has left the mint. Hope that helps you to understand why they cant be graded and why they
