Very nice looking set of coins. Congrats. How's the weather there, a bit white and cold

Thanks!  Its definitely warming up. Most, if not all of the snow should be gone tomorrow.

Nice! The '53 no fold is a looker. 

Thanks!  It sure is. However, my favorites have to be either the 1964 or the 1965. Just dont have as great images of the 1965 as the 1964.

Hello, Im looking to try and build a shield nickel collection. Please let me know if you can help.

Id like to try and acquire coins in full rim VG possibly up to Fine(maybe better) for the collection. Hoping to get them via trades, not cash. Dont know how feasible this will be, but will be a fun collection to start. Let me know what you have and what you would be willing to accept via trades! Prefer no corrosion/pitting/cleaned coins, just honest wear. Thanks in advance! List updated below.

Still Needed: 1867 Rays, 1869, 1870, 1871, 1873 Closed 3, 1875, 1879, 1880(LOL), 1881, 1882, 1883, 1883/2

Can I request that you add under Australia decimal coinage the 2 cent coin mint state strike from 1966 to end of issue? The proof coins already exist as a set. 

Poof

Not yet, I am afraid.

And, you need to post a larger picture of your avatar coin (and your '47-S and your '62.) That blue is very pretty.

Thanks! 

Are these coins allowed to be added to World Coin registry sets?  In the past they were not allowed to be used. Any changes to the policy or not?

Going to try and build a type set of Swiss Francs from 1/2 Franc up to 20 Franc. If you have some with exceptional eye appeal, color, etc, in mint state, please send me a PM.

Nice coin with darker toning.  NGC called it cleaned. However, if it was, it was done so long ago that it has retoned nicely.  Asking $195 delivered. 

Part 3 ends Sunday!  Its been fun to watch! Best of luck everyone!

I have been slowly plugging along on the 20th century portion of the set.  It only has 2-3 tougher years. Gold has went up since I started. so even the common dates will be more!

I can remember selling him some older Whitman folders a couple of years ago.  He was a great person and will be missed.

I make a note on the customer form that you keep when you print the submission forms.  I like to see how close I get to the NGC grades. 

It was time to let it go.  I have met my goals with it and any upgrades were well beyond my reach!  Time to use the funds for college expenses and hopefully other sets!

You know that Great Collections has a generous payment plan!  I could not have budgeted these beautiful without some help!  I have had some of the star coins for nearly a decade.  They don't come up at auction very often!

First round of quarters end this Sunday!  Still some good deals to have!

Gorgeous example that just came back from NGC.  Beautiful pull away toning of reds and a bit of blue that are at the rim and nice mint luster present. Only a hint of rub noted.  Much better in hand than the pictures show.  The last AU58 toner sold on GC for nearly $300!  Asking price on mine is $250 delivered.  Would consider trades if you have something I could use for my sets. 

SOLD!

Hi, this coin is currently in a NGC holder.  It appears to have a couple of spots of PVC.  Would it be a candidate for conservation?  What would be the process for sending a coin for conservation that is currently graded.  Would it be downgraded?

Grading cannot be done by photographs no matter how good they are - that is just the truth. 

While I agree with you, I can say for certain that I have gotten much better on the random GTG threads posted ATS.  I am sure other members could grade very accurately from images.

One day Ill be able to take off of work to go to a major show, but not right now!  Good luck everyone!

Now, how about a remote grading contest using NGC photovision images???
