TO MY FELLOW COLLECTOR OF 1980D QUARTER
Idon't want to offend any collectors of modern coins, BUT my fellow collector who posted about the points and rarity of a 1980d wash quarter.Facts: Mintage 518,327,487. that is over 1/2 billion Redbook in ms-65-$6.I would have took the 230 something points and ran like hell and not to complaining about more points.That coin received as many points initially as my 1899 France 1 cent in ms-67 with a mintage of 1 million and no closer grade within 2 grades.
date stamped lincoln.. test coin ?
Help !!! I came across a very interesting penny yesterday.While I was searching thru a large pile of loose change, I noticed a lincoln memorial that stood out as gem unc w/ more of a yellowish copper colored appearance and maybe proof like. I put the coin aside to card it off today. When I carded this coin today,and looked at it under magnification,I noticed the coin was date stamped 12-31-74 above the coins 1975 date. So, if anyone has any info about this co
had to start new signature set
Hi,just wanted to share my newest aquisition. An 1848 10c essai maz-1304.This is the only one graded by NGC and is ms-63 bn.I don't know why the collectors society ignores most non gold world coins in their competitive sets. I had to start another signature set,just won't get any points.If you can't score essais than something has to crack. NO WORLD GOLD-NO SCORE- everything else has gone global,how about we throw world coins into the mix. Thanks for listening an
The man w/ the gold makes the rules!
Well collectors,as much as i agree with the wealthy influence in the competitive sets as being an up hill struggle- like mt everest,see murphy's law- THE MAN WITH THE GOLD MAKES THE RULES.I also am a little guy with a small collecting budget.The reality is the grading companies wealth comes from the big dealers and wealthy collectors with hundreds if not thousands of submissions every year from each.I look at the point structure for modern coins compared to
The Outlaws grow by one
Hi collectors,I just wanted to share photos of my recent purchase that will be added to my small but growing [ OUTLAWS OF THE SOCIETY ] signature set.This is a 1913 copper ger.3M BAV. PN-16 PF 63. One problem though,the cert.# doesnt match up to the coin description and it has no color designation.I guess it is going back into NGC to correct these two things and possibly get regraded as I and the previous owner think it is undergraded. NGC'S POPULATION OF JUST TWO COINS
GOLD 1938D BUFFALO?
Hi collectors,I just wanted to share my recent purchase that arrived today.Its a 1938-D gold buffalo nickel in ms-66.Yes I said gold. No,not really gold unless I received the rarest mint error of all.But when you view this coin you would say it is.The coin has uniform and complete toning on both sides.This coin looks even way better in person than the photos.I would say it equals the visual appearance of any $50 buffalo out there,it is that impressive.I dont know of any buf
WHERE ARE THE GERMANS
Hi collectors,I recently bought some german coins and come to find that the collector society doesnt include them in competitive world coinage. So,Ive been wondering why they dont.They have a wide array of interesting coinage going back 500 plus years.The society includes France,Great Britain and other european coins.If anybody knows why or why not these great german coins are excluded, please post up.So i did the next best thing,I made a signature set up and titled it"TH
wow - one of a kind - incredible toning
I recently purchased the pride of my collection last week. 1899 france 1 centime in ms-67 with unreal toning. It is the only one graded by ngc.I normally don't collect european or toned coins but couldn't pass this one up.
