I do hope my experiance is pleasant!

I am just sitting here disapointed that the day is over and my package from NGC did not arrive. I am also hoping that I may get thru this post without being negative as I have promised to refrain from such. Our hobby is much too great. Having said that I would like to say one thing about the latest controversy concerning rfar"s dealings with "you know who". I enjoyed reading parts one, two and three. Unfortunately by the time I logged on again, part four was "pulled" along with the other three. I would have liked to have read the end. As I read the first three parts all I could think of was the thirty eight "Franklins" and "Walkers that I had sent out for auction the day before rfar's "part one". And no, thank goodness I did not send them to "you know who". I think someone detailing their experiance in selling their coins from start to finish with "whatever" auction house, is just what this forum should be all about. This is exactly what I have been talking about in previous posts. We all need to hear the good and the bad with what fellow collectors deal with in this not so perfect world we reside in. Any of us that have been in this hobby for over five years could share some sad stories. As far as the comment that rfar needs a "lawyer" and not a sympathetic ear to listen was in my opinion a little on the low side. I really hate to see or hear of an injustice done to anyone and I do beleive that is what happened in this case. Maybe he does need a lawyer, maybe he does'nt. I think thats beside the point. As I read each part I could not help but think how my experiance would pan out and wondered how long that little voice in the back of my mind would continue to whisper, "misery loves company". I did not enlist a "big time" auction house because my coins were not "high dollar" peices. Numismedia prices on the 38 coins totaled a little over 4-K and if I were to net half that I would be very satisfied. I do have others that when I do sell, I would like maybe a little more exposure that I think you get from some of "the big boys". I will say this, I will read the menu several times before ordering the food, along with checking the latest revues. In a perfect world we would not even be talking about bad service, missing coins and what is "politically correct for a coin hobby forum. It was so hard to pack up those 38 peices of silver. It sat on the counter top for two days as the thought "betrayal" continued to pop in and out of my mind. This is the first "sell" for me other than a coin here and there and to hear of a persons personal auction experiance "going south" just days after "betraying" 38 dear friends, well I could not help thinking this was an "omen" Not wanting to sound selfish, I do hope my auction experiance is a pleasant one. Oh, and in that "perfect world" I mentioned earlier my fifteen proof and unc. silver eagles and my two "Cherrio Cents" will all come back from NGC graded "70". Happy Collecting!!! WKF
