Giving up coin collecting with a sad heart but I have other interests to pursue and I can no longer give my collection the time it needs.

Well I tried

lost my shirt on this one Well Hello Fellow collectors, I jumped in with both feet with my first try auctioning my coins at a highly recommended site. And had to buy some of my own coins to keep from giving them away. lesson learned, I'll now try and sell my coins in the money market place at least there I can decline an offer and make a counter offer. I now have 2 topic lines of coins for sale in the money market place. but that's not the reason for this post I suggest that you search the auc

Watch for my cosignments at greatcollections

30 coin tryout I sent in my first 30 coin consignment to GreatCollections on Monday. They say it will be in week after next auction I'll let you all know when they are for sale and the lot numbers.

Question about an auction house

Greatcollections has anyone here used them? Hello Fellow collectors, And a very happy 4th of July.... I have many doubles and coins with no place in my collection. so I find myself needing to sell these coins at the highest possible price. I was thinking of sending them off to greatcollections on consignment as I don't have the time to type the list of coins I have for sale and post them here. My main question is has anyone here ever used this company to sell or buy coins? any comme

I had my 2014 proof set quarters and pres. coins graded

fairly good results with this submission The day after I received my 2014 proof set I sent it in to NGC for grading on 2 submission forms. I used my 5 coin free early bird coupon for the Penny thru dollar coins. And sent the quarters and pres. dollar coins on the other. I received the results yesterday on the quarter and dollar coins. as far as the quarters I received 4 out of 5 PF 70 UC with the Great sand dunes getting a grade of PF 69 UC. the Dollar coins did not do so well. With the Frankl

1962 D franklin half dollar

My first submission to ncs. Well it had to happen sometime and last week seemed to be the right coin and time. I have a 1962 D franklin half dollar that had a cloudy look to it all over the coin. As it was I believe it could have gotten a ms-61 or maybe 62. with a nice cleaning it might hit a score of MS 65 or higher. which makes it a thousand dollar coin if I get lucky. Does anyone out there know what causes a silver coin to get that white cloudy look to it is there anything I can do to pr

2013 what a great year

I had to buy a much bigger safe Hello Fellow Collectors, Happy New Year... What a bunker year 2013 was for the Fielding mini hoard. thanks to the 21st century special, I was able to have well over 800 coins and medals graded. And for the most part, They came back with what I was expecting. I was a little disappointed with my 2013 mint set. I thought I had a few MS 69 and 70's in that set and the highest graded was some MS68's. But oh well such is life. I said in my teaser that I had to b

2013 Mint set

S mint mark on mint set quarters? Hello Follow collectors, And a very Happy New Year to you all. I just finished putting my coins into my 2013 mint set and was very surprised to find that there were slots for ATB quarters with an S mint mark. Did they make a S mint mark 2013 ATB Quarter mint set? If so anyone know where I might find the set? Happy Collecting and may God Bless....Mike To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here.

NGC slabs

help please hello Fellow Collectors I have a lot of details slabbed coins, I want to take to my dealer for the silver content. But I don't want to give him the coins slabbed. As he will sell them as slabbed coins and only pay me for the silver. So is there anyone out there who knows how to open the slabs without having sharp plastic shards flying all over the house?

THANK YOU

Thank you NGC at times you make me the happiest coin collector on earth.... I had let my email sit for a few days last week. (All I get is spam from coin dealers) Then I found an email from NGC news of the week I think they call it. And within this Email I found something I've dreamed about for 2 years now... A special on 21st century US coins $10.00 each with a min of 10 per submission. Holy Cow what a deal for this under funded collector. I have already sent in my 2008 mint set a total of 18

completed a goal for 2013

Its been an up and down year but it's looking up Greeting fellow collectors, Today I met a goal I've been striving for a couple years now. I surpassed the 200000 registry points today with a 1981 mint set. This puts me in the 408th spot in the registry. Now with the coins I have left out to have graded this year I should be able to break into the 300rds by the first of fall. Well I hope every one is in great health and enjoying the last few weeks of summer I know I am. happy collect

need your expert help

SMS VS MINT SETS Hello my fellow collectors, I need you help please. From 2007 thru 2010 the US Mint made SMS mint sets along with regular mint sets. I can not tell the difference between the 2 there is nothing on the sets telling you if it's SMS or a regular mint set. so how is one to tell the difference. Thank you in advance for your help.

Things look to be back in order

went up the 50 registry spots I lost last week Well It seems NGC fixed the glitch that had registry points going wild over the week end. I know we have these glitches from time to time but there still the number one grading service in the world. I hope you all think they are also. on another note I totally agree with GSA Gem Quest an obscure set SHOULD NOT BE CONCIDERED FOR ANY TYPE AWARD ITS NOT FAIR TO THE MASSES THAT SHOW THERE SETS PROULDY I think it may be time for someone with bette
