    clean or not clean
    not only it's hard too grade coins but more and more i have too deal with coins that are clean or altered. i think im goin to stop buying coins that are not graded, just look on EBAY and you see the number of wheat with no grade just with defination like improperly clean etc... so i have couple questions
    1) how do you tell coins as been clean? any books in the matter?
    2) do you think coins with just defination label should be accepted in any registry sets?

    increase grading time
    today NGC increase the the days we have too wait for our order, so if you have a order in process you better check the new list, i know for economy the increase it from 42 days too 46 days, that's almost 10 weeks. sorry for the bad news.
    happy collecting and let's be VERY patient.

    price guide
    good morning
    i get my first teletrade and pcgs coins, very please with this 1954 proof set purchase.
    before i buy a coin i always check the price listing for that coin in the ngc or pcgs price guide. but when i put that set in my ngc registry set listing the value is much less than pcgs ($330 for pcgs and $236.25 for ngc)
    question #1 where should i check the value of the coin before i buy?
    question #2 is there much difference of price and value from pcgs and ngc coin
    thank you for any inside that may help me

    holidays wich
    i want to take this opportunity to wich every one merry christmas and happy new year too all members.
    2011 was a great year, i found a lot of great bags of wheat. specially for me that is spending only profit from wheats rolls resale from bags to built my coins collection
    in 2012 im goin to focus on copper coins, with the large points changes on the registry score and whats happening in the silver and gold coins market i think it's time for me too take a break from them, i think coppers are the coins of 2012.
    thank you for all the help

    2012 goals

    By chef patrick-migration,

    where i want my collection to be
    my collecting goal for 2012 is too focusing on increasing my silver and glad sets too the top 10 and maybe one too the top position and my wheat too the top 50 without selling one of my kidney. spending a lot of time researching copper coins, im finding harder too find high grades at a good value.
    happy new year
