... or have to wait a few more days for the latest grades!

Coin Journal for the week of 04/03/2012 through 04/09/2012This past week saw me continuing to frequent all the auctions I can find to grab those few good deals to submit for grading. I managed to get some nice Walkers this week, along with a few odds n ends that I thought were exciting.This week's treasures I found were:1916 S Buffalo 5c1919 S Buffalo 5c1912 P Barber 10c1913 P Barber 10c2010 Brass USNA Trade $1 Type Coin by Daniel Carr1982 Penny Set x21941 D Walker1942 P Walker1942 D Walker1943 P Walker1944 P Walker1945 P Walker1970 Mint Sets x6Most of these will go to NGC for grading... expecting the Walkers to grade around MS64. The Penny sets are the 7 different penny types for the year. The Buffalo nickels I got cheap to fill in a some holes in a circulated set I plan to sell once complete. I was disappointed with the barber dimes, as they both have defects that will earn them Details grades... oh well, can't win them all. The Daniel Carr dollar is one of only 200 made, and I got it at about half the going price on eBay. I like his stuff, and it is becoming very popular. I was just reading Gary's journal about the registry points system... and I have to agree. I don't see the sense in having 3/4 of the grades all having the same value, and only the very top few with monster points. Why isn't there a standard point value used for each coin? I'd be very interested in seeing the formula used to determine points, although I don't think one exists based on what I see. The Birth Year mini proof sets are currently in the Grading/QA phase... just missed having them done before the weekend, which means a few more days of waiting... like the old joke, NGC knows how to keep a person_too_unaware_of_social_graces in suspense ;)Busy weekend ahead, with the holiday and all... hope everyone's is happy and safe. No picture this week...Thanks for reading, and I will see you fellow coin warriors in the trenches!To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.
