Listing the first set of coins that I have purchased. I have one 1799 coin that the seller beleives to be fake. Soon, hopefully, I will have this coin certified.

I am learning the in & outs of the NGC coin registry. Although I am new in this adventure, I do see how this benefit will be extremely helpful. Until I catch on to identifying quality coins, this progam will also be extremely embarassing since, it will identify guidebook values against purchased values. I have already seen some of my coins, encased and NGC certified being purchased at a very hig premium. Lesson learned.

I have located a NGC certified coin dealing in Wilmington, North Carolina. Bill Bokop took a keen interest in my inititive to start collecting coins as sport and investment. If you are ever in Wilmington stop by and see him. His shop is located at 4710 Market Street (Zip 28405). If you have any questions for him, here is his telephone number: 1-910-784-9191.

The adventure continues. . .
