Where to hide your valuable coins ?

It has to to be a (SAFE) place for me Like many coin collectors in this great registry, I realized where to keep my coins a long time ago. A lot of collectors asked me where do I keep my collection. The answer is " a gun safe " .I went to my local sporting good store and purchased a 3 foot deep and 6 foot high gun safe for my coins. I had a choice of a dial or digital mechanism to open the safe. I perfer the digital,because it is a little easier to remember the numbers and it beeps of over a w

I just stole a POP 1 NGC SMS MS69FT Roosevelt Dime

This was a once in a lifetime chance It was 10:30 pm 7-30-2010. I was searching through ebay, when I came across a seller selling a roosevelt dime 2010-D NGC SMS MS69FT . I paused for a quick second,knowing that they just came out. I know I needed it for my registry. I almost fell out of my bed when I seen the price he was asking was 99.00 with free shipping or best offer. He had the description and the picture was not in the NGC case yet. In his description he gave the certification number. I

Re Re Obscured Collections

dont know why you would do it I will never obscure my sets. I really dont see the point. If you have a category that is Mint Set Eagles 1986-Present and you have 100% complete and you and 20 other people are #1,HMMMM I wonder what you have. One of the biggest men in here is Yeoldeone with over 5 million registery points. None of his sets are obscured. He has coins most people only dream of. My collection compaired to his, but i am a great contender. I understand most people think their colle

A Dedication Like No Other

Most people will never understand it !!! As I reflect back upon years past,I can honestly say...WOW !!!! Most people cant afford to become #1 in a major set. It is a financial obligation that takes a toll in ways,that most people never expect. I have been dedicated to my mint set roosevelts for over 3 years. The amount of tradeing,money,and luck are a small part of the picture. You also figure out ways to save money. I love the $1.00 menu. I can fill up my stomach on $3.25. The amount of sleep

Is your classic registery set,really ever complete?

Constant upgrades that can break the bank By no means do I have a complete set in my roosevelt collection. My main goal was to become #1 in that set and move on to other sets. I only collected ms67FT-MS68*FT in my set. This was a major task for anyone. Well,for the last 2 years I constantly keep upgrading. I would buy a ms67Ft,then a few months later a ms67*ft would pop up and Now I am buying ms68FT.I went through every year in my roosevelts from 1946-Present and from where I stand,there is a

I found out how to put a financial hurting on EBAY

Since they increased their fees and rules,Lets teach them a lesson My feedbacks are 100% and I am not allowed to sell on ebay. Excuse me,Feebay......... You all know why feedbacks are important. Now e-bay has this stupid DSR rating.It simply means That you can give 1-5 stars to any seller. Now if for any reason,you want to leave low stars,all you need to do is penalize anyone from selling again. Leave a low DSR.1 star per customer...Feedbacks are important,but DSR is stupid. I Know e-bay will

<a href="http://ebid.net">ebid.net</a> ups and downs

slow and steady one person wrote about his down side of www.ebid.net . That many people are not there.The truth is,it starts with all of us.Everyone here has nice certified coins.If we all descided to go there for buying and selling for 6 months and spread the word.It will take off like wildfire.I know all the coins I put up,I may get a little more on e-bay,but the fees are insane.Humans are a creature of habbit.We like to keep going back to the same old routine.It is almost like buying a beep

I just quit FEEBAY .I am tired of the fees

New website is here I just enroll in www.ebid.net .One time fee 50.00 for a lifetime membership. No Final value fees,no listing fees and 5 free pictures per item. No limit to how many items you sell.I jist listed over 25 items and NO fees whatsoever. My ID is rebelcoins,if you want to find me. I spent over 135.00 last month on e-bay fees.That was just 1 month. I will save over 1300.00 a year. In a weird economy,why would anyone want to throw their money away. I encourage everyone to come there

RE:Safe or Pipe???

Most people aren't that smart Well I also have a huge collection.A lot of people know I collect coin.Majority of people have no idea what a coins is worth,especially in a case.even if they crack itout,they will think is is a waste of their time.No there is a sign outside of my door "Warning all trespassers will be shot,suvivors will be shot again".In other words,you will not make it out of my house alive.You come to rob me,I will kill you.My wore out 1958 wheat penny is worth me than you are!!

Full torches can drive you mad

Strike is 100 times more harder to find in the same grade I have went to coin shows and looked until my eyes hurt trying to find only full torches.Pickens are very slim.As soon as I flip the coin over,if the torch looks bad in anyway,I discard it.I dont care even if it would make a ms68. 99% of all my roosevelts are full torches.I still wonder why a ms68* has about the same points as a 68ft.Alot of people say to look at the population report.Population report has nothing to do with it.More peo

new territory quarters and crazy laws

true laws,you may not believe them,but they are true My state quarters and now my territory quarters have the most true and insane laws.Read them all if you want a great laugh.Some of them may even save you thousands of dollars,like the virgin island law.Everyone who reads this quarter may want to remember this forever.

you mom needs to support you

I bet she likes getting you presents,and she likes getting presents By no means do I need my family to help me in my coin collecting.My grandmother doesnt understand it.My Father thinks that I am insane,with the price of these coins.My older brother collects like I do.If I ever need a loan,my mom says "no Problem".The weird thing is that my mom knows nothing about cios and still she supports me,if I ever need her.I had many of hobbies and the 1 hobby that is paying off is coins.Tell her to tur

I Guess I will help the man out

If you got to be the best in here,you have to start them out with the best!!!!!!!!!! Top1flight,I am one of the serious collectors in here.This registery is for fun and sometimes it can be ruthless in competition.Certified coins are the best way to go.Ngc and Pcgs are the 2 you should stay with.Dont buy anything certified by anyone else.Proof and ms 70 are expensive,but you will reap the rewards later on in life.Coin dealers dont really buy and sell newer 70 graded coins.They have that old sch

Destroying who this year in 2009

My goals this year are ????? Anyone who knows me or looks at the coins I buy,knows I am a serious collector.I have many friends in here and also people who just dont like me.This year I will go after segoja.He has been #1 from 03-08 on Mint State Eisenhower dollars.I guess I will have to rain his parade.After months of consideration he is the one I want.Also I have won 7 registry awards this year and my goal is to have at least 12 awards next year.Also in addition to that,I am ranked #156..My

I disagree on a gold explosion

World Economy is bad Everyone knows that when the economy does bad,gold and silver goes up.That is only half the truth.Right now the world economy is not doing good.Gold fell from 1200.00 to 850.00 per ounce as soon as the world ression started.Not too many people are worried about gold and silver.People are losing there holmes,jobs are becoming scarce,Grocies are going up and the only thing going down in price is gasoline,go figure.This is happening all over the world.Too many credit cards at

"Thank You" To All that Challenged Me

I loved the competition It is the end of the year for the Registery Awards.My accomplishments and losses have been a great strugle.Unlike some collectors,my collection is vastly spread out.It gets hard to focus on one thing.One of my main goals was to rank at least 150.I did not make it. I like all different kinds of american coins and I try to only have the best of the best.Last year I mainly focused 70% on Roosevelts.This year only 20%.This is one of the many reasons I did not make the roose
