The importance for legal identification of your collection

How to identify your collection in case of a robbery. It was just by habit that I register all of my major coins or collections as soon as I receive them in the mail. Example I just received my 2015 proof 70 ER $50 gold buffalo in the mail and I immediately registered it with NGC and took the picture. Three days on June 30 I was rushed to the Medical College of Virginia in Richmond for compound fracture of T 12 and L2. I was placed in intensive care unit for 10 days and then Neurosurgery

2 ASE SFO Set

I just received 5 minutes ago my ..... I just received 5 minutes ago my 10 ASE SFO 2 coin set. Just sitting in my garage along with my LL Bean order. Will send all to NGC. I wrote a big note on the box to my hubby -DO NOT OPEN I do not want him to screw it up like he did last year with the 5 coin anniversary set. That cost us $7500 to buy a box that was not opened.

Sometimes you just have to show up in person at the PO to find your box!

But they did find the Box! My wife and I drove 100 miles to the Sort Facility in Sandston, VA. This is where all mail from thru out the state comes to be sorted. One group of workers were zero help. O we went in the employees entrance door, a very nice gentleman with a VCU 9remember final four '78) found a supervisor. Jason spent time with us getting the details of the package and contents, remember 5 long blue boxes. We were on our way out of town and were at a motel near Richmond Airport.

Curse the US Post Office

Sitting on the docks, not by the bay Here we go again, I have a box of 5 sets of the 25th Anniversary Sets SEALED sitting at the Sorting Facility at Sandston, VA since 11/19. Just missed early release. My patience with the US Mail has gone out the window. Tomorrow I am filing a complaint with the head knocker at USPS in DC. I guess I will have to rive 100 miles to get the darn box. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

Why Don't/Can't/Won't Listen to Instructions?!

I got THE PHONE CALL, with information I did not want to hear about the 25th Anniversary Sets. With heightened anticipation of the 25th anniversary coins from the Mint to be delivered this week, I researched the instructions for submitting the coins to NGC. I printed out the instructions for Submitting the sets to NGC. I verbaly told him "DO NOT OPEN THE BOX FROM THE US MINT, BECAUE WE HAVE TO END IT SEALED LIKE THE 2006 SETS." I had an appointment at 11 am, I get this phone call from my hus

TV Coin Shows not Reality Shows

Did you know "they" have the last set available? So hurry call now! My husband and I just laugh at some of the "ToP" cable coin shows on TV. Gone is the unique history that Mr. Chambers added to all of the coin, during the Coin Shoppe. Now he has to stand by a "used care salesman." How long can these guys drag out the sale of a particular item? "Hands: on CSN can't talk without his hand gong a mile a minute. The quarters that he sells, get the longest on air award. The guys from
