I don't know what the procrastination is all about.

I'm just literally afraid I will do something wrong. We all like to know what we're getting into before we jump in the pool. We don't want to look stupid, after all. The only way to get experience is to just "do it!".

The coins are most likely NOT counterfeit but you never know. A perfectly honest, but naive person like me could get one and sell it thinking it is real. Then, old naive me would buy it from them....

I had a little problem the last couple of weeks and now I am recovering from a little heart procedure so I have some down-time. Perhaps I can talk myself into jumping now.

I've read the rules probably 20 times and it doesn't sound like rocket science. I'm just such a weenie!

If anyone has scary or not scary tales about their first adventure into getting coins graded, I sure would like to hear them. It might just help this newbie make a move! And maybe other newbies need help. The pros need to help us out.

The picture I have here is one I am proud of. I took advantage of the advice from some pros on photography and this one turned out exceptionally well. The uncropped version was even better.

Take care, all...and remember to keep up on your cardiology check-ups. It saved my life this week. ...and PLEASE send in those stories!

Thanking You in advance,
