Coinbuf

A raw coin in my 7070 album, I've been working on my photography skills and am getting better but needs some more work.  These were taken with the coin in the album so the edges are not very crisp or defined, cracked out of an NGC AU58 holder.  Coin looks cleaned/dipped before it was holdered but is beginning to acquire some edge tone from the album that over time will hopefully make this look more acceptable.
 
 

I won this one from recent Heritage sale

Nothing special just a 66ish mid 40's coin in my 7070 Album, I'm working on my photo skills with a cell phone and this was one of the recent test subjects.  These photos were taken while in the album so the edges are not very sharp.
 
 

Here’s a very pretty Buff I picked up at the fun show.  This true view really doesn’t cut it.  The coin is much more vibrant in hand.  I bought this piece from, Andy @ “Angel Dee’s”  A very good friend of mine. 
Thanks for looking, CHD

Really like my newest half eagle.

Among my FUN acquisitions, thanks to John for the great pics (I added the CAC bean to two of these as the actual sticker was out of the shot on the slab).

Nothing special but a new addition to my year set, sellers pics are the best I have for now.
 

This is a very old thread but I'll add my thoughts for the heck of it.  You are correct Revenant, back before all this went down I was, and still am, in favor of doing the registry awards biased on NGC coins only BUT still allowing PCGS coins in the registry sets just with zero point values.  To me this would have been the correct way to address this, one award for NGC coins to award the brand but still allow the other brand to be displayed for those who want to show a more complete or complete set.  My Lincoln set is a prime example of this, I have one unfilled hole in my registry set which I have a nice pq example of just in a PCGS holder.  I could go thru the expense to cross it over but I just don't play that game so my set will forever look incomplete which is a shame.  And for what its worth I do have skin in the game as several of my sets would be negatively impacted by removing the PCGS coin scores from my sets.
I would also add that I'm somewhat in agreement with what Mark said about the grading standard at PCGS, its been my feeling that for many years PCGS has fallen in love with luster and color and has been far to forgiving of surface marks and marginal strikes.  But grade opinions are a constantly moving target and I suppose that until a true computer grading system is developed the war over grading will continue.

The registry calculates ranks with and without PCGS coins in effected sets and you get awards / ribbon icons awarded based on both rankings. So if you're #1 when counting only NGC coins, you'll still get recognized for that, even if you aren't #1 when the PCGS coins are included. If you're winning both ways the system actually gives you 2 awards each year. I've looked at both and they look identical when I look at the certificates.

Several times I have viewed this whole thread and wow there is many nice coppers here.

Very nice IHC.
