Encapsulated Coins

They were INcorrectly encapsulated Hello fellow members. I've enjoyed coming to this site to read, ejoying and learn from your entries. I never felt I had much to say, so I didn't participate - until now. I would appreciate it if any of you would share your views and next step suggestions on my problem. About a week or so ago I received my coin submission back from NGC and three of the coins were in the wrong cases. The coins in the wrong cases were part of a mint set. The 1C is i

Collecting with Friends

WB, Wheaties and me I barely ever post to the journal, not my thing to be put out here in the public forum like this but, something happened both these past few weeks and today that really made me feel as though I needed to. I will start with the fact that as with most mornings I heard the familiar honk of my mail person at about ten AM to tell me I had to sign for a package. I went outside and did the normal deal and came inside to open my bounty. For the third time in about a month, a

We need to send the the police en masse to Antthe1's home and take everything in the house, under the house and within a mile of the house, just to make certain we have got all the contraband "coins" he may have hidden. This will be the "ir"rational to hit the government should they believe for an instant that the

Re: question!!!!

Goodacre is the person that designed the sac dollars the Goodacre coins they are refering to on PCGS website is one that comes under great controversy, the one who designed the Sac dollars name was something Goodacre and they wanted to be paid the 5000 dollar fee for the design in 5000 sac dollars. The mint did what they asked, and they burmished the coins (polished them) and gave them to the designer. There lies the controversy, we all know PCGS nor NGC will grade any coin that has been clean

1864 2 cent coin motto

Can anybody tell the difference, small motto-big motto? I have a few of the 1864 2 cent coins collected by my late fatherinlaw. I know my eyes are getting worse but I can't tell the difference between Big Motto and Small Motto even looking at the pictures in the coin book. Is there any definitive way to tell these babys apart? G.

If I May Suggest...

To heck with the slab! I'm fairly new at numismatics (only two years or so) so what I am about to write may very well be based upon my own ignorance -- so be it, i've looked like a fool before! Why is it really necessary to have coins (at least relatively modern issues) slabbed at all? I can see issues that have a great deal of fraud involved, especially gold and (from what I am hearing) trade dollars. But there are other methods of acquisition and conservation out there that don't involved

1959D Jeff 5c...Anyone seen this before?

I think I have found some doubling... but I need some help. I am not very knowledgeably about any series but the Lincoln's! I was putting together some Whitman folders today and noticed this. It appears to me this is some sort of date doubling. The "59" in the date are the suspect characters here. As it appears to me, there is definitely a small 5 stamped below the prominent 5 (all of the loop, half of the stem and the tip of the cross bar are visible on this small 5). I think I can also

I Feel I Must Speak Out!

There comes a time in the affairs of men, when we must take the bull by the tail and face the situation. -- W. C. Fields I have been reading the journal articles concerning grading and turnaround time, and I've decided it's time for me to put in my 2 cent piece. :-) I truly feel that possibly all of us, we as customers and NGC as professional graders, are both right and wrong. Please let me explain. First let me say, that I'm probably a mellow and laid back person. I've finally have learne

A lot of thought has gone into your decision....

But... please reconsider. While I direct this response to William, we have all been there and have experienced the pain. Lord knows I have done more than my fair share of complaining about services provided at NGC. Just check my Journal Entries and you'll see I have been a thorn in their side more than once. Not too long ago, I was so fed up with my perceptions of non-service that I decided to have a little fun. I had a contest posted here on the CS board, to guess how long it would take

PRICE GOUGING

More MS 70s added to collection. Well, I added 5 more MS-70s to my collection of American Sivler Eagles yesterday. I paid over $1,0000.00 for them AFTER shopping around. Now I am not complaining about paying that for them. As the consumer that is my choice. But it appears that theses prices are unusually high, even with the increase in bullion prices. There is no way theses coins should be this expensive. Well, again if I am a sucker enough to by them.... By the way, I like to add jo
