    great deal
    Please check out my post in the money market place. Giving up coin collecting with a sad heart but I have other interests to pursue and I can no longer give my collection the time it needs.
    Trying to sell as a group at this time I will NOT entertain offers on single coins
    Thanks for your time W M Fielding

    Thank you Alison
    I spoke with Alison Emery yesterday about there not being a slot for the Burnished Eagle coins for the past couple years. After she spoke to the powers that be there are now slots for the Burnished American Silver Eagle coins going back to 2013.
    Thank you Alison as always your there to help the collectors the best way you can.....Mike

    lost my shirt on this one
    Well Hello Fellow collectors, I jumped in with both feet with my first try auctioning my coins at a highly recommended site. And had to buy some of my own coins to keep from giving them away. lesson learned, I'll now try and sell my coins in the money market place at least there I can decline an offer and make a counter offer. I now have 2 topic lines of coins for sale in the money market place. but that's not the reason for this post I suggest that you search the auction site your looking at to see what similar coins that you want to sell Are selling for before sending in a submission. Like I stated above it may not be the outcome you were hoping for.
     
    Happy Collecting and may God Bless.....Mike

    30 coin tryout
    I sent in my first 30 coin consignment to GreatCollections on Monday. They say it will be in week after next auction I'll let you all know when they are for sale and the lot numbers. It would be great if my Fellow Collectors here at NGC could support me with this sale as it is the test to see if I use them again. And I am in desperate need of the cash this sale would bring to my coffers.
    Thank you, Happy Collecting And may God Bless...Mike

    Greatcollections has anyone here used them?
    Hello Fellow collectors, And a very happy 4th of July....
    I have many doubles and coins with no place in my collection. so I find myself needing to sell these coins at the highest possible price. I was thinking of sending them off to greatcollections on consignment as I don't have the time to type the list of coins I have for sale and post them here.
    My main question is has anyone here ever used this company to sell or buy coins? any comments good or bad would be very useful

    fairly good results with this submission
    The day after I received my 2014 proof set I sent it in to NGC for grading on 2 submission forms. I used my 5 coin free early bird coupon for the Penny thru dollar coins. And sent the quarters and pres. dollar coins on the other. I received the results yesterday on the quarter and dollar coins. as far as the quarters I received 4 out of 5 PF 70 UC with the Great sand dunes getting a grade of PF 69 UC. the Dollar coins did not do so well. With the Franklin Roosevelt getting a PF 70 UC grade and the others getting a grade of PF 69 UC.
    I am overall very happy with this submission as 5 out of 9 70's is nothing to be disappointed with. I have my fingers crossed that the other 5 coins in this set, will come back perfect 70's but that's a very long pipe dream.
    Happy Collecting and may God Bless....Mike

    My first submission to ncs.
    Well it had to happen sometime and last week seemed to be the right coin and time. I have a 1962 D franklin half dollar that had a cloudy look to it all over the coin. As it was I believe it could have gotten a ms-61 or maybe 62. with a nice cleaning it might hit a score of MS 65 or higher. which makes it a thousand dollar coin if I get lucky.
    Does anyone out there know what causes a silver coin to get that white cloudy look to it is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening in the future. any help would be greatly helpful.
    Sorry I did not take a before photo but I will post an after as soon as it runs its course thought NCS and NGC.
    Happy Collecting and May God Bless....Mike

    I had to buy a much bigger safe
    Hello Fellow Collectors, Happy New Year...
    What a bunker year 2013 was for the Fielding mini hoard. thanks to the 21st century special, I was able to have well over 800 coins and medals graded. And for the most part, They came back with what I was expecting. I was a little disappointed with my 2013 mint set. I thought I had a few MS 69 and 70's in that set and the highest graded was some MS68's. But oh well such is life.
    I said in my teaser that I had to buy a larger safe. I bought a Liberty Centurion 24 gun safe and while trying to get it up the 4 steps on to my porch, I had the misfortune of having it fall on my left leg. I though for sure my leg was broken. but the Good Lord saved me with just a few scrap marks to remind me to pay the darn delivery fee next time.
    well all in all 2013 was a great year. My health was as good as could be expected. Except with my short 4 day stay in the hospital with congestive heart problems. But all is good now.
    In closing I would like to thank all of you who have helped me with my questions. Some were somewhat stupid if there is such a thing. lastly I would like to wish all of us a healthy and prosperous 2014.
    Happy Collecting And May God Bless us all....Mike

    S mint mark on mint set quarters?
    Hello Follow collectors, And a very Happy New Year to you all.
    I just finished putting my coins into my 2013 mint set and was very surprised to find that there were slots for ATB quarters with an S mint mark. Did they make a S mint mark 2013 ATB Quarter mint set? If so anyone know where I might find the set?

    help please
    hello Fellow Collectors I have a lot of details slabbed coins, I want to take to my dealer for the silver content. But I don't want to give him the coins slabbed. As he will sell them as slabbed coins and only pay me for the silver. So is there anyone out there who knows how to open the slabs without having sharp plastic shards flying all over the house? Happy collecting and may God Bless....Mike

    Thank you NGC at times you make me the happiest coin collector on earth....
    I had let my email sit for a few days last week. (All I get is spam from coin dealers) Then I found an email from NGC news of the week I think they call it. And within this Email I found something I've dreamed about for 2 years now... A special on 21st century US coins $10.00 each with a min of 10 per submission. Holy Cow what a deal for this under funded collector. I have already sent in my 2008 mint set a total of 18 coins. I had the $ coins graded when they were running the black slabs last year
    With this deal running until Dec. 31st I should be able to get most of my 2000's mint sets completed by years end. what a great feeling.
    Again NGC thank you from the bottom of my still beating Heart.
    Happy collecting and may God Bless....WM Fielding

    where is the quality control
    Hello Fellow collectors,
    I have been receiving slabs back from NGC with light gray spots in the white field around the coin it's normally in the lower right side of the slab. is anyone else receiving slabs with this defect? I will contact NGC this afternoon and will post a photo tomorrow. I sure hope NGC will correct this problem and keep the same cert number on the coin. one can only hope.

    more than made up for my last dime submission
    Hello my Fellow collectors.
    Although it a rainy day here in West Virginia, The sun was shining on my coin collection. I sent in my last Silver proof set to be graded a couple weeks back it was a 2010 set and the results were very pleasing. I jumped from slot 403 in the registry to 395 with a small 14 coin set. the results for each coin are.
    Silver dime PF 70 UC
    Lincoln cent PF 69 UC
    Jefferson nickel PF 70 UC
    Silver Kennedy Half PF 69 UC
    Sacagawea Dollar PF 70 UC
    Silver Hot Springs PF 69 UC
    Silver Yosemite PF 70 UC
    Silver mount Hood PF 70 UC
    Silver Grand Canyon PF 70 UC
    Silver Yellowstone PF 70 UC
    Fillmore Dollar PF 69 UC
    Pierce Dollar PF 68 UC
    Buchanan Dollar PF 68 UC
    Lincoln Dollar PF 69 UC
    7 Out of 14 PF70UC in my mind is a fantastic feat for A small time collector like myself. That's why I wrote this Journal to brag a little.

    Its been an up and down year but it's looking up
    Greeting fellow collectors,
    Today I met a goal I've been striving for a couple years now. I surpassed the 200000 registry points today with a 1981 mint set. This puts me in the 408th spot in the registry. Now with the coins I have left out to have graded this year I should be able to break into the 300rds by the first of fall.
    Well I hope every one is in great health and enjoying the last few weeks of summer I know I am.
    happy collecting and may God bless all of you...Mike
    PS. look for a new list of coins for sale in the next week or two I'm weeding out all by duplicates ...Mike

    SMS VS MINT SETS
    Hello my fellow collectors,
    I need you help please. From 2007 thru 2010 the US Mint made SMS mint sets along with regular mint sets. I can not tell the difference between the 2 there is nothing on the sets telling you if it's SMS or a regular mint set. so how is one to tell the difference. Thank you in advance for your help.
    Happy Collecting and my God Bless....Mike

    HAD NO PROBLEMS
    I just tried to check the cert number of a coin I own and it worked just fine. what may have happened is when you all tried to add coins or check cert #'s they were working on upgrades or were doing system maint. try it again today (Sunday) and I bet you will have no problems

    went up the 50 registry spots I lost last week
    Well It seems NGC fixed the glitch that had registry points going wild over the week end. I know we have these glitches from time to time but there still the number one grading service in the world. I hope you all think they are also.
    on another note I totally agree with GSA Gem Quest an obscure set SHOULD NOT BE CONCIDERED FOR ANY TYPE AWARD ITS NOT FAIR TO THE MASSES THAT SHOW THERE SETS PROULDY I think it may be time for someone with better writing skills than me to start a petition. jmho
    Happy Collecting and May God Bless you all....Mike
