    Coin Grading

    By namvette68,

    When you submit coins for grading, it asks MS or PF. There is no PL, RP, SP SRP space.. If we are to go by the old standards, a PL coin is an MS base. An SP coin seems to be both, MS and PF. Now we have reverse proof(RP), and Special reverse Proof (SRP?) Colorized, antiqued, plated, and a host of types that are emerging in almost every Country, and will be here soon.
    I started a set to find out that only 1 coin, out of the 10-15 that I sent to be graded, will have a slot in any collection. I see the Palladium coin has an MS PL variety.....hmmmm?
    My Canadian Anniversary proofs will be a nightmare. They already are too late for ER pedigree. So much for Express mail and special handling. 
    I hope to see a few sets either combined, or actual revised to reflect the actual coins in the set. So far, I am thoroughly confused.

    Statehood Quarter Set

    By namvette68,

    What does the "W" mean?
    I just got a 2000 S Clad Maryland quarter in NGC PF 69 W Ultra Cameo. I have another Maryland in NGC PF 69, but it doesn't have a "W". Is one better than the other? Does the "W" get a higher rating? I am new to all this, but I guess I should kbnow about this? Anyone?
    Thanks

    I have added the 2008 "error" Eagle to bring my set up to date
    Finally!
    I have completed a set of American Silver Eagles in NGC MS69.
    I went out of my way to have 3 2008 Eagles, but I guess it was necessary to be complete. I guess the proof set is next. Maybe I can compete this year?

    Double protection Intercept Shield boxes are perfect for 10 coin Sacagawea sets.
    I have finally taken all of my, 10 coin, Sacagawea NGC PF 69 sets and put them into their own Intercept Shield double protection storage boxes. These provide the ultimate protection for the ULTIMATE 10 coin set!

    MY FIRST PCGS SET

    By namvette68,

    I had to settle for only 9 coins.
    I recently decided to add a set of PCGS graded Sacagawea golden dollars to my collection. PCGS has only 9 coins to a set. I am in the process of building a PR69DCAM SET. I only need the 2002 and 2007. Unlike NGC with the "First Year Of Issue", green label, pedigree, this set is easier to complete, and a little cheaper.

    MOVIN' ON UP

    By namvette68,

    Oh Lord it's hard to be humble.
    Well, I went and did it. I started a set of Presidential Dollars in PF 70. I am proud to have another #1 ranked set.
    After trying to get some nice photos of the obverse, I opted to leave the reverse scans for now. I am going build a photo booth (miniature) for at least the obverse. I'll see soon if it works. I have a good set to work with. It'll need to be good enough to present it properly. I want to at least get an "Honorable Mention" by someone.

    A PERFECT 10 ???

    By namvette68,

    Do I merit a higher score?
    I wanted to have the best of something to pass on. I believe the 10 Sacagawea NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo should be at the top.
    I believe them to be better than just a set of 9.
    Should a new score of 4681 be in line?
    I am close to finishing at least 1 more Sac set in PF 70 UC(only 9)and perhaps another if I can find them.
    Well, it's all over for this year, but I will strive to get at least 1 honor in the future. I would like to thank all those that helped me. I would like to thank Amy for pointing out my temporary periods of dislexia. It's a miracle I can type any numbers in the right sequence. Happy Holidays, and Good Luck, to all of you that strive to make the Registry what it is.
    P.S. Santa, please bring me the gold 1995W Anniversary set in NGC PF/MS/RPF 69. I'm not greedy!
