  1. Did o-k on the auctions. I did bid on around 8 coins and got them returned to my registry. I was not letting anything go for free. :)

    With all deductions and sold coin removals I am at a new stage in my collecting.

    A total of 1300 graded slabs are left. Total list value in collection manager is at $67,000 at a cost of $2000.

    I will remain selling and buying coins till I get $100,000 value at no cost.

    Happy New Year!!

  2. Thanks Bammer and Mohawk.

     Well I had a great sale on yet another 26 dimes and a hand full of other coins. I packed the 2 - 50 coin boxes up last week and got them into Great Collections. Every coin I put in the boxes were $175 and up to $2500 each NGC list. A grand NGC list value of $39,500. I have a little under $14,000 invested in this great hobby which should clear up on this auction and leave me with over $60,000 in coins hobby cost FREE!! :)

  3. When Mark Gibson sold his dime set a few years ago I almost purchased the complete set. Glenda was so mad and then she watched me sell them 1 at a time. I did very good on selling and the fight on coins became something different as she chimed in on my wisdom on coins. It is a hard road on a collector and a no waste on collecting situation but I finally after 25 years turned her and then she left. 

     Everybody now --- kids ------ girl friend------other friends ----- DO WHAT YOU WANT..   BORING!!!!!!  I need competition in everything I do. You can't have great love without a little war!!

    Indeed. We're moving after 3.5 years hear and coming up on 6 years of marriage (and 2 kids) and we're purging a lot - though maybe not as much as we (I) should be. I'm the one with all the junk though. She isn't as much of "collector" / "hoarder" as I am.

    Sorry you lost her. I hope you're still making out okay though and you still have an in-person friend group to spend time with.

    I am doing fine considering all the loss and all. A man works his a-s-s off his whole life to take care of his wife and kids.Usually the husband goes before the wife. I have got to take care of my kids and balance life in this  new future drive.

    from what I am witnessing, coins are selling at good prices lately so mazel tov and may the dough be with you

     

    any reason to pick GC over Heritage or what made you pick them?  

    GC will auction lower value coins to bidders. Heritage is like the king pin for outrageous valued coins and throws the lower valued coins to the dealers sight unseen. 

  6. There are many factors that go into my decision to sell at auction. I don't spend much time on here as I use to selling since my wife passed. I have been going through my house the past few months getting rid of a lot of things I don't need or use. A married couple can hoard a lot of stuff in 25 years together. She has been gone for almost 2 years now and I am downsizing on everything to make my life more simpler.

  7. I have been outbid on a few top pop dimes and nickels the past month. With that in mind I know the market is strong. I will be sending all my graded U.S. coins into Great Collection Auction this winter for a Nov./Dec. auction sale. Presently I am waiting for a few packages to arrive that will contain all of TPETERS coins. His family is liquidating his collection and I will be selling those for them as well.

    Happy Coin Collecting!!

    I think what he was actually referring to was NGC adding new slots every year for new coins in ongoing series - which sometimes for some series is very early in the year and sometimes a series goes years without an update. But I think the answer to his question is you folks just have a bunch of categories to deal with now and you have us constantly poking you for new ones and extra changes. 🤣 (shrug)

    WINNER!!!   yes Ali ---- update the current sets. Are there that many sets that you are two years behind on????  CRAZY!!
