The Peace dollar was placed in circulation on January of 1922. Only around one thousand had been struck in 1921.
1,006,473 peices had been struck in December 1921
1922 1000.
Absolute exquisite coin pendant. This has a wreath on the back and the number 5 is I think what might be called slanted. It has a slope like shape on 5.
I love to wear this every now and then. One of patients gave it to me as a gift. I have kept this a long time it in a dry area and it has kept its gold tint. I never see anyone wearing this nice coin.12-23-2005
NGC vs PCGS
Since I like to collect pedigree coins, I have to collect both NGC and PCGS. I perfer NGC and do not understand why PCGS won't allow NGC in their registry!
My thoughts on the current topic of solely PCGS sets being listed.
When I first started collecting coins someone said to me to buy only NGC or PCGS graded coins. That piece of advice has served me well over the years. I know some people like only one or the other company exclusively. I think they both do a fine job but can't understand why PCGS coins sell at higher premiums than does NGC's. Are PCGS graded coins better coins? Are PCGS grading standards higher? If they are than why is it that N
This Marquee is not longer at this casino. They have since changed this to another casino. This is the Cowboy Marquee that stood out of the casino. I recieved a few of these about 15-20yrs ago, when I got lucky.
Encased and never been opened. Beautiful and Decorative. .999 silver. Reverse has race cars, horses and cowboys in nice detail.
State Line
We'll make some changes soon...

Should NGC change the Registry Awards Criteria?
I am one of those who has some 100% PCGS sets in the NGC Registry. Even though I agree that I should have some NGC coins in the set, according to NGC, it is not necessary for me to have any. I am looking for some NGC coin upgrades but those available will be few and far between. I started with PCGS and I have been quite pleased. From all the articles I have read over the last several months, I have come to the conclusion that, if NGC is more cons
From a relatively inexperienced collector's perspective
I think NGC has it right. Considering NGC wants people to join the collector's society, they open themselves to a broader, more competitive, group of coin collectors.
Yeah, I don't like the fact the PCGS holders are different size, the fact some PCGS coins are more marketable than NGC, or that PGCS owners don't scan and describe their coins. There are also a lot of people with PCGS coins that probably feel the same way about other NG
Looking for a superior 1948 Franklin with FBL? LOOK NO FURTHER THAN HERE!
Hello everyone! My wife and I have a rather extensive collection of Morgans and Franklins that are in marvelous condition. We would like to add the graded Franklins that we have to a registry under our name here. How would we go about that? Also, I've noted that quite a few of you are looking for a superior 1948 Franklin. We have one 48-P that grades in at an awe-inspiring MS66 FBL. The only problem...NTC...I will say th
The sound of the above title should be a clue here....
We all have headaches now. Lets call a truce to the hostilities. This is supposed to be a "Happy Holiday Season", not to mention a friendly forum.

So... I will jump right on in...
Last week I made a posting titled "Say Cheese Please" simply asking my fellow (and fellowette (trying to be politically correct)) collectors to image their treasures and share thier stories of their collections. While several others have either email me personally (imzadissir@aol.com) or made additional journal posting stating they have added more images/stories, it would also seem as though I sparked other conversations regarding the inclusion of PCGS coins a
How I photograph my coins
I am not a professional photographer, however, I have always loved photography and also consider it a terrific hobby. I realize that many people do not have the time or money to invest in good equipment, but for me it is just another extension of my coin hobby. Documenting my collection has been a very enjoyable process. I can now keep my collection in the safe at the bank, yet pull out my photos and enjoy my collection any time.
