2008 Year in review

my best and worst collecting disseions? I started the year look to complete some of my collections, such as my PCGS Sacagawea dollars and i did that as well as completing my state quarter collection though i did not complete my Franklin halves i did manage to add to my collection and i hope to add to my lincoln cent collection with the release of the four new lincoln cents next year? AS for my worst decision was the purchase of an sgs graded coin.

Update on coin sale

Bad experience selling some invertory.` As I posted some weeks ago I sent some coins to be sold at a dealer well that experience was not what I expected They made what i thought was a rediculious offer for a lot of 10 coins I certinlly hope I don't have to many more f these type of experiences in the future it's really depressing. when you work so hard to make the right purchase and then when you change course you get kick to the curb.

selling inventory

finially got my nearve up to sell. well i sent some of my coins to be sold. i've been nervious about doing this because you really don't know the people doing the buying so your never sure if you can fully trust them or not or weather they'll give you fair price for your collection, but i'll let you know how it goes after the holidays.

unwanted coins

Well it's happning again Earlier this afternoon i recieved my most resent copy of coinworld Magazine and their was an article on the new presidential dollars and just as with SBA,SACS, the lates in dollar coins has lost it's appeal even banks are not interested in ordering these coins even for those who collect them so why does the mint continue to issue coins like these to the public just release them for collecter and stop wasting time and money.

First submitions

well i finally chose my first submition ever. After some long hours of research pouring over population charts from the best known sources i've come to the conclusion that i will submit a couple of my franklins that have very small population numbers in the upper grades just to see what i get? i think i will also submit this one.(Photo)

OPINions wanted

my trained tells these coins might have got a raw deal in grading Should i break these out and resubmit them again, because either i'm missing something or they did I don't see anything wrong with them that they should get these grades? well i can't show you a picture here. ok here's my delima I have two roosevelt dimes one a 1962-D and the other a 2000-S. the 62 is graded ms 68 the 2000 is graded pr-69 the both look better then that.

I just could not believe what i was seeing.
