Mint verus graded.
Was remembering the discussions about Early Release and First Strike Gold coins.
As I was making my rounds in search of coins I saw this ad MS70 Early release American Buffalo NGC price $1399 free shipping. Mint price $1460 plus cost of grading and shipping and no assured MS70. Have a good one everyone, I am still eating left overs.........

Long Term ,versus Short Term.
There maybe some montary advantage to theses short term but history shows little to no advantage longe term.In 2007 a collector in FL suited both PCGS and NGC for the usage of the term First Stike infering the had a higher value PCGS settled very quickly but value is not known but NGC elected to go to court but NOT a good idea before trial they settled for about 650,000 most of the money going to the ANA and the trail law f
What NGC gives it takes away!!!!!!!
I guess I was going up points ladder to quick for some one , so was knocked down a few slots. NGC did not even have the time to notify be that the points was going be down rated or why or ask me what I thought about the down grade. it was not debated at all that I can find in the forums. I did not set the points for for any registry slots, NGC did. Cost me 15 spots over all and 2 from the
I have reached it. At least a realistic one.
My realistic goal when it comes to Coins was/is to be in top 500 over all and top 10 in World Coins. Now that I have worked for 47 Years 20 US Army and 27 At NASA , I Finally gave it up last January. This why I say REALISTIC GOALS. Over all I' Am 402 and World I'Am at 10th. Any increases from here will be a bonus. Have a great weekend and I wish everyone happy collecting.

Can anyone really tell?
NGC is no different than any other 3rd party Much of the grade is subjective not objective I think the real cut off between the 2 is probally a 65. If anyone can give purely objective grade above 65 I would love to hear it . This is the offical definition given by NGC its not the same as PCGS or ANACS NOR that of ANA.
"What is a 70? NGC defines a Mint State or Proof 70 coin as having no post-production imperfections a
American Arts Commemorative Series
They are by definition 1 Troy Oz bullion coins and most bullion houses sell them, Curent bullion price is about US$935. NGC will list them if some asks, I just hav'nt found enough of them in prestine shape worth grading. Happy hunting.

World coins verus US Coins.
I can not for speak for world coins in general but i can to some degree speak about Canadian coins. To be fair to NGC they are working on some of my requests. There are many types listed but many more are not and even with in the types many are missing,many are not up todate. To me the Candians produce the most types and styles of any country PLUS some of the most BEAUTIFUL coins ever produced. The minting process is imp
Only one set per family first week for TJ we will see
It seems as the mint has been questioned by more than just I on their selling polices. MW and AA . If 5 sets was the limit than how did 567 MW end ed up on a popular TV shopping channel, the grade was not important to me. but to get 567 how many sets were processed?, 2000 maybe and they were ready to sell with in 2 weeks of release, 40,000 all options is a fair release for this type coin as i see it. In order hold its value
