ANACS FIRST....THEN ICCS FOR CANADIAN

Now that is a novel idea. Why not allow ICCS graded coins to be added to the canadian sets in the registry. There is no question that ICCS is the foremost grader of canadian coins (in canada) and are almost as tight on grading as NGC or PCGS, if not tighter. And it would open up a wider venue for canadian sets by a large order of magnitude. True, it would impact NGC's and PCGS's business, no more crossovers, but think of the positive impact it would have on the collecting public. The numbe

Presidential Dollars***a couple of thoughts (questions?)

Has anyone obtained any info on the advertised Presidential Dollar Proof Set? and does anyone have any updates on the plans by NGC and PCGS for holders for them?..and as a last thought.... all these BEWARE posts point to an ongoing problem in the numismactic field...the difference in perspective between the collector and the invester....trying to combine the two is at least difficult and at most a head banging trial. As to the interest in modern coins...they are the most easily available to

2006 MY YEAR IN REVIEW

This has been a good year and a bad year...as almost all are. I have made a lot of purchases to fill sets. And did manage to complete a couple. But the end of the year has been a complete disaster. I hate to say it, but I am beggining to hate christmas. A very few years back, I lost my father to cancer a week and so before christmas, and this year three days before christmas, we lost a consumer that we have taken care of for over 15 years. She was a member of the family, not just a payche

New Presidential Dollars and the present holders

Are we to have new style holders from NGC and PCGS to allow the edge incuse portions to show? Just recieved my Numismactic News today and while reading on the new presidential dollars the thought came to me,,,with the present holders we won't be able to see the edges of the coins to see the dates and mint marks....huuuh Now I am into the modern certified coins big time, it's 85% of my business. So needless to say, I will be sending mucho coins off for certification....and the mint is gonna be

Re: should they be graded

HOW IN THE WORLD DID YOU RECEIVE THE 3 PIECE SET ALREADY?? According to the official web site...those sets are back ordered and not expected to ship till 12/8...and yours was shipped out early enough to receive it on the 14th of Oct.? that would mean it shipped around the 9th or 10th of Oct. just how many did you order to get such nice treatment? inquireing minds want to know...I think

Some Points....again

with just over 800 TPG coins currently With just over 800 coins in TPG's in my current inventory, 94% are NGC. why? because I think that of the TPGers, NGC is as accurate as they get and because of the disparity in prices, more people can afford the NGC coins. In my personal collections as you can see, I collect majority of NGC..again because I can afford a higher grade in them. with the coins as a rule being just as nice and accurately graded. face it...price IS a determining factor in a

Final update on my complaint with ANACS...James Taylor

when last we left you....I had received a phone call from Mr. Taylor..promising certain actions....... During this call James had stated that he intended to send me a refund and some gift certificates for grading so that I could give him and his company another chance. He did in fact refund a portion of the charges, and send three certificates for five day grading, also requesting that I notify him when I sent in my next submission. I felt that notifying him was not a true test of any improv
