    Has anyone checked out the USmint upcoming prouducts?
    Few days ago went to the USmint website to check out their upcoming products and I couldn't believe what there trying to sell this year. It's called " The United States Mint's Celebration Series" focusing on the Chinese New Year.
    I thought the USMINT only produced products focusing on events of THE UNITED STATES of AMERICA only. What did our American Veterans fight for? ( That's just my opinion )
    What there going to release is a mint state 2008 American Gold Buffalo in a red box celebrating the lunar new year. Your all going to laugh when you see how much ther going to sell it for, one guess- you can buy the same 2008 Buffalo NGC certified MS70 for the same price! That's crazy.
    Check it out for yourself and go to the USMINT website and go to the upcoming products page and have a good laugh!

    I think this seller might not be on the up & up
    All you fellow coin collectors,check out Ebay item#230262557391
    This seller claims to have the new 2008 First Spouse Louisa Adams Proof NGC graded PF70 UC. That sounded funny to me because, NGC only has only one graded in their census, So I went to the cert. check and I put in the cert #, it came out as a Elizabeth Monroe PF70 UC! I went back to the item picture to take a close look, what I found is, on Louisa Adam's name, the fonts are wrong from what NGC uses.
    The price for this coin is $1215.00 "already has 3 offers"
    Also, check out the fake address the seller uses "My Gold Valut,CA. United States"
    All I have to say "BUYER BEWARE"

    Yes, I agree with you 100%
    I believe there is going to be a slot for the 2008W w/Rev of 2007 pretty soon. I wonder why some of the registries have so called errors when others don't ( look at the Lincoln cent 1909 to date , it has slots for all the double dies) also they just updated the Jefferson Wartime nickels( added a slot for the 1943/2P nickel)
    I know they can't add slots for every error out there, but they should add slots for the most historical ones.
    I wish they would add slots for the Presidental edge lettering mess ups, after all because of those mess ups this maybe the last year with the edge lettering.
    That's just my thoughts,

    It's real simple
    Hello Lynn, It's real simple, all you need to do is when you send your coins to NGC, on the submission form just go to box 5 (Ship Method)and check the (Registered Mail) box. Then go to the (insurance price table) on the back of the submission form and calculate the insurance to the value of your coins.
    NGC just doesn't want you to return ship with overnight delivery without a FedEX or usps express mail account.
    Registered mail is fine ( it only takes about 4 days to get your package from NGC)
    Hope this was helpful,
    Happy Collecting! Jimmie

    New 24k gold coin being minted in 2009!
    The press release reads,"United States Mint Director Ed Moy announced at a meeting today of the Citizens Coinage Advisory Committee that the agency plans to recreate what many have called the nation's most beautiful coin ever minted-Augustus Saint-Gaudens' original ultra high relief Liberty $20 Gold Piece. The design will be featured on a collectible 24-karat coin intended for sale to the public in 2009. In preparing to mint this coin, the United States Mint will test the development of the second variation of Saint Gaudens' design, the 27 millimeter, ultra-high relief coin with Roman numerals."
    Go to the United States website and click on "Pressroom" to get the full artical.
    I wonder if this is going to replace the 24k Buffalo design.
    Happy collecting!

    Robert Chambers "Coin Vault" moved to ShopNBC
    Well this was the last week to watch the coin vault on Shop At Home. I was flipping the channels and guess who I found on ShopNBC, It was Robert Chambers From the Coin Vault.
    I guess he's going to be around for a long time.

    that's a good idea for know
    Your right, it is a good idea to leave the mint box sealed for now, you never know if NGC will change their minds about the 3pc Bald Eagle set. With my luck the day I can't wait any longer and I open the box, NGC will put some news flash about summiting Bald Eagle 3pc sets "LOL"

    It's only a mint state coin
    BULLY, If you look close at the mint picture you attached to your entry, check out the "specifications" it shows for condition(Bullion) not (Proof) so it's a mint state coin only.
    I don't know if you read my journal entry on 2/4/08 (What is the USMINT Thinking) Check it out and I hope that it's helpful for you.

    Will "IN GOD WE TRUST" be Hidden in the slab
    The new Presidential Dollars are going to be out pretty soon and I'm wondering if the top two grading companies are coming up with a new slab design for this new dollar coin program
    Because we all know by now that the USMINT's design for this 2007 dollar program has the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" minted around the edge of the coin.
    I hope the two top grading companies are figuring out away to display this special and important feature.

    Have anyone lately been trying to put PCGS graded coins in your registry only to become rejected?
    Last week I added a PCGS first strike SE in my registry.
    Then later on that day I got a Email that the registry rejected the coin due to can't verify.
    So I went to the PCGS website to check the verification myself only to discover that the website is offline. (Maybe PCGS is using the same service provider as the USMINT "LOL")
    Every morning I been checking to see if it was up and running because wanted to get this coin in my registry.
    This morning I gave it one more shot, Guess what! it was up and running. So I added the coin back in my registry ( cross your fingers for it to be excepted )

    Hope NGC hears our crys
    After all the pain we went thru yesterday trying get on the line with the USMINT, I hope NGC has in the works to make a special designation for the Bald Eagle 3pc Proof Set.
    That would make up for the very sore fingers from dialing that same phone number over and over and over and over again!
    Happy Collecting and I hope all of you get thru with the USMint!

    I agree with you "something is funny about this"
    I think the mint did this on pupose, Just like you I went to the mint website to order the Eagles, always I like to log on a few minutes earlier before mint items go on sale. The web site was working perfectly until 12:00pm on the nose then everything went down. I think they planned this ( that's our goverment )

    Check your 2007 proof sets before your 30 days are up to return them!
    I just open my package from the Us Mint only to be very upset!
    The coin lenses made this year are very poorly manufactured.
    some of the lenses are cut unevenly leaving a sharp edge and also some of the lenses are coming apart exposing the coins to it's worse enemy (AIR)!
    I'm sending them all back for a replacment this morning and I'm going to keep sending them back until they get it right!
    The US Mint is really going down hill lately, don't you agree...

    Re:PCGS?

    By jxs525,

    To answer your question does PCGS use "ULTRA CAMEO"
    To answer your question does PCGS use "ULTRA CAMEO"
    No they don't,PCGS uses the phrase "DEEP CAMEO" on their graded proof
    On PCGS graded slab you will see DCAM after the grade
    example ( PR69DCAM )
     
    Hope that an answers your question

    Presidential Dollars

    By jxs525,

    Lets All Be Patient
    We should all stop hunting for good examples from these rolls
    It's just a waste of time and money!
    If we want a good collectible examples of these dollars, lets just hold out for the Proofs and this years Mint Set ( lets hope they will be in it) Maybe they will grade MS-?? instead of BU's
    "LET'S CROSS OUR FINGERS"
