Don't let it get you down Bruce...I been there two

If I had the proverbial nickel for each time I got everything packaged and ready to go.... I would be a wealthy man and able to but that barber proof dime and quarter I need. although my normal goof is to get the coins in the package and forget the invoice...or get the invoice in and forget the coins...talk about being in a hurry...It really is that feeling of anticipation you get to see the results of the grading, I'm with the others here who have posted concerning their setting on pins and

The Trials and Disapointments

I really don't know why I try.... Have been calling the Mint since yesterday...and the only answer I get is "we are unable to take your call at this time"...and of course, the web site is down.."due to a change in manangement"...I have resigned myself to being unable to purchase the Bald Eagle commen's. The service we get from them, especially considering the prices and profits they make, is really indicative of the shoddy government attitude prevalent today. And I continue to buy into it, b

I need a little help from someone

Can a note collector help me with a term? tried to get an answer on the notes site and came up blank,,,so I'll try here. Got a nice note back from PMG with a net grade, and the term FOXING on the back....never heard that one before, but then again, I have just expanded into some paper money. Can some of you bi-discipline collectors help out? Back to my first love....just started a war time nickle set...these are some real nice looking jeffersons, but finding an affordable top pop is out of

couple of factors to think about Bruce

normally reconized as three factors to a crime they are intent, motive, and ability or the where with all to commit...not having knowledge that your action is a crime is no defense, but can go towards a no intent defense...but proving that a person has knowledge that the coins they are selling are counterfeit, might be hard to do. thus no intent. then there is the cost of a trial and the associated matters. that is probably why we don't see a lot of prosecutions dean

Disagree. Do not buy the coin...

read this to see why....... I would say that a disagreement is in order...nobody collects coins as a hobby anymore...the key word is INVESTMENT...MONEY...the only reason to buy a coin is for it's future value. and for that reason alone you must buy the TPG with the most recognized reputation and the most potential for an increase in the almighty dollar. Don't attempt to grade yourself...the TPG's have guarentees...and when it comes time to sell and make the bucks...that will have a major fac

I am fairly new to this hobby...just since the mid to late "60's"

I must say that I am vastly disappointed in the caliber of people who now claim to be numismatists... These people collect some of the most ridiculous items. Such as Lincoln pennies, and Jefferson nickels...and those new fangled dollars...Susan B. and Ike's and Sacagawea. What kind of names are those? A true collector knows that the only coins worth collecting are the kings of the numismatic world..the MORGANS and BUST Halfs, the Indian cents and Liberty Nickels..those grand old coins of ye

re: Kjohn..spring came early

check the wording of your order status... check the wording of the order status under the shipping status page...I believe that you will find that like mine it states that "your order request has been proccessed" just means that they got the order on the books. If you look at the bottom, you'll probably find that there is no charges listed...spring is still a ways off, I'm sorry to say.....dean

response to NGC first day of issue on the tv's

as the one's I have seen state "1st Day of Issue BU" no letter grade....... the ones I have seen state they are BU...but don't assign a MS grade....that doesn't help the collector much...they might as well be in SGS holders...who knows what BU means anymore....

agree with trading slabs...it was the coins

I was all excited, I got some of the Pres's the first day and I'm sending them in..........not have to agree with trading slabs...I was all set to send in at least 20 of the new Pres's for labeling as first day issue...then I got home and looked at em...there was not one that would have made MS-66 and maybe only 1 that would have made MS-65...this is not something that I want in my collection, nor could I in good conscience sell these poor examples to other colletors...so now I wait for the mi

could we be blaming the wrong people?

maybe it's not the mint's problem but instead the armored car companies that actually roll the coins? as I understand it, the mint sends the newly minted coins to the armored car companies in $70,000.00 bins (loose) for them to roll and distribute. could it be that the machines that they use are doing such a job on our new coins? after all they have already made a fortune selling the coins to the shop at home's

re: I just looked through---me too

I only had 4 rolls from my local bank....can you say disappointed? out of 4 rolls...1 might have made MS-65..if ngc was being kind..4 may have made 64, again if they were being nice to me...that left 95 that were 63's or lower...most were probably 63....can any one say major vast disappointment? I have a 250 bag ordered of each..p&d...hope there are better handling for those...i hope..i hope

re: Sparks and Slabs

It is my understanding that Numismedia is a wholesale price guide..not retail... wholesale is or was supposed to mean a price available to dealers from reciprocating dealers...or in others words..not the normal price available to the general public...retail...but that doesn't seem to mean much these days...in fact all too many "collectors" want to buy at a price with more relationship to an outright steal than a fair price....and the explanation of a "fair price" doesn't really cut it.....when
