  1. Hey fellow collectors. Im selling this really nice buffalo nickel on Great collections. It ends Sunday. Would be perfect for type collectors or registry people! Check it out, link below! 1937 MS67+ CAC Buffalo Nickel NGC Graded
  2. Great nickel for type or registry collectors. Check it out below! 1937 MS67+ CAC Buffalo Nickel
  3. I still want to get a few for a type collection but have not yet pulled the trigger on them yet.
  4. What kind did you get? I start making my Christmas list soon!
  5. Hey fellow collectors. I cherry picked my own album for these two and sent them to NGC. I am not going to try and complete the variety set so I put them up for auction at Great Collections. The first is the Friendly Eagle variety of 1971D. The second is the 1973 Proof DDO. It is graded PR68 Cameo and is a pretty tough grade. Check them out and fill your collections! Friendly Eagle 1971D NGC 1973 S Eisenhower DDO FS-101 Proof 68 Cameo
  6. Anyone got a definite answer? I have quite a collection of Washington quarters, but the modern ones have been really tough to keep up with and Im losing steam making the effort to fill the albums! Personally, Id like to see the thing change to the Laura Fraser version or even get redone completely! Looking at Google says that it might still be up in the air.
  7. ANA membership was free a few months ago, not sure if it still is though.
  8. While I would agree with you to some degree, there are series where the designation could have something to do with it. Take the Walking Liberty series. They are notorious for being weakly struck at the thumb and skirt. The Liberty nickels are know for having several weak stars at the rim. There are probably more examples that are escaping me at the moment. The FBL and FS are the ones I like the least as it has such a small portion of the design and on the reverse. Id like Full Shield Rivets over Full Head on my SLQs, but that one is probably not going to change at all.
  9. Already have FS, FB/FT, FH, and FBL for Jefferson nickels, Roosevelt and Mercury dimes, SLQ and Franklin halves. This covers lots of popular series in the 20th century, but leaves off lots of others. Is it time to get more added for other series? Personally, I would like something added for coins in the Barber series and Liberty nickels and think that stars around the rim would be a good one to add. Maybe even Walking liberty halves with a thumb or skirt lines. Thoughts?
  10. Been thinking about this question for some time and I will start by saying that I have been a fan of the NGC star designation for years(check my sets if you don't believe me!). Unfortunately, I think that the plus grading system has hurt the value of the star. Points are the same in the registry for a star coin, which is designated for exceptional eye appeal. The plus is upper ends of the respective grade. What are your thoughts??? Which would you rather have a "+" or a "*"? Riding the fence with this dime that has both the plus and star designation...
  11. I collect Canadian quarters loosely. I have a set in a Dansco I created. Even picked up a few slabbed. A few of them are outstanding!
  12. You have a great set and have had a great run! The way I see it, there will always be someone with more money and resources to build sets. Just waiting for someone to jump me in the Washington arena!
  13. Attractive toning is a rarity in the Standing Liberty Quarter series. This one was lucky enough to have just the right conditions and surface preservation! On its way back fresh from grading, this quarter has superb toning and is well struck and has been graded by NGC as MS62. Although missing the FH designation, but the colors more than make up for it! Asking price is $325 delivered. Would also consider trades, just ask! SALE PENDING
  14. He does do a date-by-date analysis along with a one page commentary about each issue. Lots of tables too, which are not too out of date yet. I also like the different strategies to collect in the series, rather than just doing the whole thing.
  15. It worked perfectly for me, cause I was truly only interested in the type III $20 Liberty DEs.
  16. Not to change the subject from one double eagle to another, but has anyone read the Double Eagles Type 3 1877-1907 by Mike Fuljenz? I got a copy and I think it is very interesting. Ive been considering doing a 20th century set so I thought it would be a good resource. Once I finish with a couple of my registry sets, Ill probably get going!
  17. Looks like a good group of coins! Ill be watching some of those dimes!
