    I GOT 6 SP70 DPL(2) & PL(4) ENHANCED FINISH OUT OF 15 SETS OF THE 50th ANNIVERSARY SILVER KENNEDY FOUR COIN SETS. WITH ENOUGH OF THE OTHER COINS TO COMPLETE 8 SETS OF 70's
    SO FAR, I HAVE SENT IN 40 SETS OF THE "50th ANNIVESARY SILVER HIGH RELIEF KENNEDY HALF DOLLAR SETS". OF THE FIRST 20 SETS GRADED I GOT 4 COMPLETE SETS OF 70's, AND OF THOSE 15 SETS THERE ARE 8 COMPLETE 70 SETS, STILL WAITING ON THE LAST FIVE SETS TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I WILL UPDATE WHEN I GET THE RESULTS. THANKS FOR LOOKING!

    THINKING OF SELLING MY BASEBALL HOF COINS!
    I WENT TO THE BALTIMORE WHITMAN COIN EXPO, AND WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME COINS AND GET THEM GRADED AS "OPENING DAY RELEASES". BUT, THE DELIMA IS, I AM BEHIND ON MY MORTGAGE AND MY MORTGAGE HOLDER HAS OFFERED ME A REALLY LOW BUYOUT AND I WOULD OWN MY HOUSE OUTRIGHT!
    WELL, NOW THE PROBLEM IS COMING UP WITH THE CASH TO DO SO, I HAVE SOLD MOST OF THE COINS FROM THE EXPO ON EBAY, I AM NOW DOWN TO MY PERSONAL COLLECTION COINS MINUS THE PROOF GOLD, HAD TO SELL IT TOO TO MAKE THE MONTHLY BILLS! I STILL HAVE THE MS GOLD AND BOTH $1's AND 1/2's ALL 70 OPENING DAY ISSUES, PLUS I HAVE THE EARLY RELEASES NOLAN RYAN FACSIMILE SIGNATURES MS/PF GOLD IN 70'S.
    SO THE QUESTION IS DO I SELL THEM TO OWN THE HOUSE OR DO I HOLD THEM TO SEE IF IN THE FUTURE THEY BECOME MORE VALUABLE? ANYONE OUT THERE WHO MAY HELP WITH THIS QUESTION, PLEASE FORWARD YOUR ADVISE, I KNOW THE HOUSE IS MORE IMPORTANT, BUT THE PREMIUM THAT THESE COINS HAVE AQUIRED IN THE SHORT PERIOD SINCE RELEASE LEAVES ME WONDERING SHOULD I HOLD OR FOLD?

    DONE PRETTY WELL IF I MAY SAY SO MYSELF!
    I WENT TO THE BALTIMORE WHITMAN COIN EXPO LAST WEEK.
    I PURCHASED THE FOLLOWING(WITH GRADING RESULTS IN PARENTHESES):
    2-2014 W G$5 PROOF(2-NGC 2014 W G$5 BASEBALL HOF "OPENING DAY RELEASES" IN PF70UC)
    2-2014 W G$5 UNC(2-NGC 2014 W G$5 BASEBALL HOF "OPENING DAY RELEASES" IN MS70)
    10-2014 P S$1 PROOF(10-NGC 2014 P S$1 BASEBALL HOF "OPENING DAY RELEASES" IN PF70UC)
    10-2014 P S$1 UNC(9-NGC 2014 P S$1 BASEBALL HOF "OPENING DAY RELEASES" IN PF70UC, 1-NGC 2014 P S$1 BASEBALL HOF "OPENING DAY RELEASES" IN PF69UC)
    10-2014 S $.50 PROOF(4-NGC 2014 S $.50 BASEBALL HOF "OPENING DAY RELEASES" IN PF70UC, 1-NGC 2014 S $.50 BASEBALL HOF "OPENING DAY RELEASES" IN PF69UC, 5 MORE CURRENTLY BEING GRADED AS "OPENING DAY RELEASES")
    10-2014 D $.50 UNC(1-NGC 2014 D $.50 BASEBALL HOF "OPENNING DAY RELEASES" IN MS70, 4-NGC 2014 D $.50 BASEBALL HOF "OPENING DAY RELEASES" IN MS69, 5 MORE CURRENTLY BEING GRADED AS OPENING DAY RELEASES")
    I SENT THE ADDITIONAL 10 HALVES IN WHEN I PICKED UP MY FIRST SET THAT HAD BEEN GRADED BECAUSE THE MS HALVES DIDN'T DO AS WELL AS THE REST.
    I ALSO ORDERED 5 PF S$1 AND 5 MS S$1 FROM THE MINT LAST NIGHT BECAUSE I WAS WANTING TO GET SOME GRADED AS EARLY RELEASES. I HOPE THEY DO AS WELL AS THE ONES I BOUGHT FROM THE SHOW.
    I HAVE SOLD ALL ON eBAY EXCEPT:
    G$5
    -1-MS70"ODR"
    -1-PF70UC"ODR"
    S$1
    -2-MS70"ODR"
    -2-PF70UC"ODR"
    $.50
    -1-MS70"ODR"
    -2-PF70UC"ODR"
    OUT OF THE CURRENTLY BEING GRADED "OPENING DAY RELEASES" HALVES, I WILL BE KEEPING ONE OF THE MS70"ODR"s TO GO WITH THE ONE LISTED ABOVE I ADDED TO MY COLLECTION. THE REMAINING COINS WILL BE SOLD TO ADD FUNDS BACK TO MY COIN BUDGET.
    I HOPE THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE GETTING THESE COINS AND HAVING THEM GRADED, HAVE THE RETURNS I RECEIVED ON GRADES, I FEEL THE MS HALVES ARE GOING TO BE THE HARDEST TO GET IN 70 WHICH WILL TRANSLATE TO BE THE MOST VALUABLE ONE OF THE COLLECTION EITHER WITH BROWN, EARLY RELEASES OR HALL OF FAME LABELS!
    I ONLY WISH I COULD HAVE GOTTEN ONE PROOF $5 RAW, TO HAVE MOUNTED IN A COIN BEZEL NECKLACE CHARM, THAT WOULD BE AWSOME AS A NECLACE CHARM, BUT I WILL BE HUNTING FOR A RAW ONE ON EBAY TO DO THAT WITH.

    IT CAME TODAY-TAKE A LOOK
    I ORDERED 5 OF THESE AND WAS ABLE TO KEEP ONE AT A LOWER THAN MINT PRICE, AND ON TOP OF IT ALL ITS A MS70 EARLY RELEASES.
    I SENT IN 5 AND GOT THE FOLLOWING:
    1-MS69 EARLY RELEASES
    4-MS70 EARLY RELEASES
    NOT TOO BAD, NOT TOO BAD AT ALL.
    NOT A BAD INVESTMENT FOR $900. I WAS HOPING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN LESS, BUT AFTER ALL THE FEES ON FEEBAY THATS WHAT IS LEFT. I WISH I WOULD HAVE WAITED TO SELL THESE TILL THIS WEEK SINCE GOLD HAS WENT UP $31 IN THE PAST 2 DAYS. BUT HEY $900 IS SURE BETTER THAN $1360 OR MORE, THATS ABOUT THE GOING PRICE FOR THE MS70 EARLY RELEASES!
    GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR SET AND HAVE A GOOD ONE!

    Heritage Auctions taught me this lesson.
    Roughly two months ago, I was running down the hundreds of emails i had received in my personal e-mail account. Normally i would just delete most emails based on the title of it, and surveys usually get deleted the fastest. I dont like people prying into my preferences of collecting, reading, listening etc. etc. But that day i decided to open the e-mail, i read how they would be awarding some of the respondants a coin as a prize. So i answered the questions and sent it back to them.
    Well, two weeks ago i got a phone call from an employee of heritage. He went on to inform me of how I had won a coin, i was sceptical about it, and kept asking if he was serious, and if he was yanking my chain, just for him to keep insisting that it was legit and he was indeed Serious. At first when he told me what i had won it didn't register, then he said "It's worth enought to buy a small car", now I have never owned a new car, all the cars i had ever purchased were used.
    Then it all clicked "A mint state High Relief Double Eagle" I repeated in my head what he had said, "Holy mess"(excuse my language) I shouted out. My wife at this time was starting to panic due to my reactions.
    I received this beautiful NGC graded MS60 WIRE RIM 1907(ROMAN NUMERALS) DOUBLE EAGLE THIS PAST FRIDAY AFTERNOON VIA U.S.P.S REGISTERED MAIL. All because i took the time to fill out the survey and respond. It is worth $16,560.00, i have never won anything and to win something like this was nothing short of a miracle.
    So, the moral to this story is maybe by taking a second to do something that is out of the norm, may just be very rewarding. i have it listed in my registry but no picture is posted of it yet haven't gotten that far, but i will do so soon.
    Thanks Heritage, Thank you Lord for the Blessing. And thank all of you who took the time to read this, Have a Great Day and good Luck to You!!

    I GUESS BY ASKING FOR PRAYERS I WAS SOMEHOW WRONG!
    I AM THE ONE WHO A FEW DAYS AGO ASKED FOR PRAYERS ON THE TWO ROLLS OF 1987 SILVER EAGLES, TO GRADE OUT WELL. I AM DISABLED AND STRUGGLE WITH MY FINANCES FROM WEEK TO WEEK AND THOUGHT THAT MAYBE A FEW MEMBERS WOULD PRAY THAT GOD WOULD BLESS MY FAMILY AND MYSELF.
    I RECEIVED A NASTY RESPONSE FROM A MEMBER, I WON'T NAME ANY NAMES BUT BY READING A FEW OF THE PREVIOUS JOURNALS I AM SURE YOU COULD FIGURE IT OUT. THIS MEMBER SAID HE WOULD "PRAY THAT I LOST MY ON THIS VENTURE" HE ALSO SAID HE WOULD "PRAY FOR ME TO RECIVE ALL MS69'S" AND THEN WENT ON TO SAY WE SHOULD BE PRAYING FOR HIM DUE TO HIS TERMINAL CANCER INSTEAD OF PRAYING FOR A FINANCIAL BLESSING FOR ME. I DO FEEL SORRY FOR HIS SITUATION, BUT DISAGREE WITH THE FACT THAT HIS NEEDS ARE MORE IMORTANT THAN MINE, THEY SHOULD AT LEAST BE ON THE SAME LEVEL. I AM NOT SAYING I AM IN A WORSE SITUATION THAN HE IS. I HAVE 4 CHILDREN, MY WIFE AND MYSELF, I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO WORK IN THE LAST THREE YEARS(DECEMBER 15, 2006 WAS THE LAST DAY I WAS ABLE TO WORK). I HAVE HAD A MAJOR BACK SURGERY THAT HAS LEFT ME WORSE OFF THAN PRIOR TO THE SURGERY, I NOW HAVE A NUMB LEG THAT DOESN'T WORK LIKE IT SHOULD AND AM UNABLE TO WORK AND HAVE BEEN TOTALLY DENIED FOR SOCIAL SECURITY. I AM IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE, CLOSE TO LOSING MY HOUSE, UTILITIES WERE SHUT OFF TWO WEEKS AGO, HAD TO ROB PETER TO PAY PAUL TO GET THEM BACK ON. A STACK OF BILLS THAT DESPERATELY NEED TO BE PAID, BUT HE OBVIOUSLY NEEDS OUR PRAYERS MORE THAN I, SO I HAVE SINCE THEN REMOVED MY JOURNAL SO I DIDN'T TROUBLE ANY OF YOU ALL, AND WE CAN FOCUS ON HIS NEEDS. I HAVE PRAYED TWICE FOR HIM SINCE I RECEIVED HIS REPLY. EVEN THOUGH HE TRASHED ME PRETTY GOOD, THAT IS A LESSION ON BEING A CHRISTIAN!! THE BIBLE SAYS TO TURN THE OTHER CHEEK, SO I HAVE.
    I AM NOT TRYING TO DEFEND MYSELF, MORE LIKE TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY REASON FOR THE PRAYER REQUESTS, I DO APPOLOGIZE FOR TROUBLING THOSE WHOM I HAVE OFFENDED, PLEASE FORGIVE ME!! I SIMPLY NEED HELP, I AM IN OVER MY HEAD, AND THOUGHT BY TAKING A CHANCE ON SOME COINS THAT COULD SAVE ME, I AM NOT ASKING FOR 40 MS70'S, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO HAVE TWO, ONE TO BAIL ME OUT NOW AND ONE TO HELP MY FAMILY IN THE FUTURE. I WOULD LOVE TO GET A RETURN OF 40, WOULDN'T WE ALL?! BUT, I ONLY ASKED FOR TWO. HE IS RIGHT IN SAYING I WANT TO MAKE A PROFIT, WE ALL DO, WE COLLECT FOR THE ENJOYMENT, BUT UTIMATELY WE DO IT FOR THE FUTURE PROFITS TOO!
    RARE SOV-I PERSONALLY WANT TO APPOLOGIZE TO YOU, I MUST HAVE MISTAKINGLY SENT A REPLY TO YOU THAT WAS MEANT FOR THE OTHER PERSON IN QUESTION. I WAS GOING TO TRY TO EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU BUT YOU PREMATURELY BLOCKED ME BEFORE I HAD THE CHANCE. IF YOU STILL WANT TO BLOCK ME I DO UNDERSTAND, BUT IT WAS A MISTAKE ON MY PART AND FOR THAT I AM SORRY, I ASK THAT YOU TOO FORGIVE ME.
    I WOULD LOVE TO CUT/COPY/PASTE THE REPLY FROM THE MEMBER WHO MUST HAVE BEEN OFFENDED BY MY REQUEST, TO SHOW THOSE OF YOU WHO WOULD LIKE TO SEE WHAT HE SAID, BUT I AM GOING TO REFRAIN FROM DOING THIS TO SAVE HIM THE EMBARRASMENT AND MESSAGES THAT I KNOW A FEW OF YOU WOULD WRITE IN DISGUST OF HIS OUTRIGHT HATRED TOWARD ME. BUT AS I SAID BEFORE I WILL TURN THE OTHER CHEEK AND GO ON, AND WILL MAKE MY PRAYERS MYSELF.
    TO THOSE OF YOU WHO DID PRAY FOR ME, THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART AND SOUL. I ONLY WISH I KNEW WHO YOU ARE SO I COULD THANK YOU PERSONALLY. THANKS AND MAY GOS BLESS YOU!
    I WILL END THIS JOURNAL FOR NOW, AND RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT FIRST THIS SUBJECT JUST BE DROPPED, SECONDLY IF YOU HAVE ANY HATRED, OR NEGATIVE COMMENTS TO MAKE ABOUT MY PREVIOUS MISTAKE OR THIS JOURNAL, TO ASK FOR YOUR PRAYERS TO JUST PLEASE KEEP THEM TO YOURSELF. AND YOU ALL HAVE MY WORD THAT I WILL NOT ASK ANYTHING OF THIS SOCIETY EVER AGAIN.
    BEST OF LUCK TO YOU WHO WANT A GOOD RETURN, WEATHER IT IS FOR PROFIT OR TO IMPROVE YOUR REGISTRY SET, AND MAY "GOD" SMILE UPON YOU EVERY SECOND OF EACH AND EVERY DAY.
    AND TO YOU, UNNAMED PERSON, I HOPE YOU ARE HEALED OF YOUR CANCER, AND LIVE A VERY LONG AND PROSPEROUS LIFE, I WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP YOU IN MY PRAYERS AND HOPE THAT YOU GET SAVED, IF YOUR NOT ALREADY, AND COME TO KNOW AND LOVE "GOD" AS I DO.
    THANKS FOR YOUR TIME, AND REMEMBER "WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE". HAVE A GREAT EVENING-WEEK-MONTH-YEAR-& LIFE!!

    AS SOME OF YOU ALL HAD READ IN A FEW OF MY PAST JOURNALS THINGS HAD GOTTEN ROUGH FOR ME AND MY FAMILY!
    WELL I AM NOW BACK ON MY FEET, AND THE BILLS ARE CAUGHT UP. CHRISTMAS IS OVER, AND I HAVE ONE OF MY CHILDRENS BIRTHDAYS OVER WITH THIS YEAR, ONLY 3 MORE TO GO. I HAD TO PART WITRH A FEW OF MY BETTER COINS TO DO THIS BUT THEY WILL COME BACK IN THE FUTURE.
    I WENT TO THE RELEASE OF THE SHIELD CENT, DONE WELL WITH THE ROLLS AND SLABS THAT CAME FROM IT. I PURCHASED 5 SETS OF THE PRESIDENTIAL PROOFS, SENT THEM IN AND RECEIVED THE GRADES YESTERDAY, ONE SET WENT INTO MY ALBUM, THE OTHER FOUR WERE GRADED, I WAS ABLE TO GET 3 OF THE 4 IN A PF70UC, WITH ONE DOUBLE 70. I AM WORKING ON GETTING THE BUCHANNAN FROM EBAY, WITH A LITTLE LUCK HE WILL BE MINE TOMORROW.
    I HAVE BEEN DOING A LITTLE BETTER WITH THE WHOLE BACK ISSUE, STILL IN A LOT OF PAIN, BUT COPING BETTER WITH THE MENTAL ISSUES.
    THIS YEARS INCOME TAXES ARE GOING TO BUILD ME A NEW GARAGE FOR MY 69 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE, CANT WAIT TILL THE WEATHER BREAKS SO I CAN GET STARTED ON IT. THEN I CAN DO THE COMPLETE RESTORATION ON HER THAT I HAVE BEEN DRAMING OF. I WILL POST A FEW PICS ALONG THE WAY AS I DO IT. BUT IT ALL STARTS WITH THE GARAGE. I HAVE A FEW 100 OUNCE SILVER BARS THAT I WILL BE PARTING WITH TO FUND THE RESTO. JUST WAITING ON SILVER TO GET UP A LITTLE HIGHER IN ORDER TO REAP THE BEST PROFIT I CAN ON THEM.
    I HAVE DECIDED TO CLEAN MY COLLECTION UP, I AM GOING TO GET RID OF EVERYTHING BUT THE GOLD AND SILVER AND MY SLABS AND ALBUMS. ALL THE OTHER MISC. ITEMS WILL BE GOING. I AM GOING TO LET MY DAD, BROTHER AND FAMILY HAVE THEIR PICS THEN OFF TO EBAY TO GET WHAT I CAN. I AM ALSO TRYING TO COMPLETE A SET OF MS EAGLES IN MS70, THEN I WILL START ON THE PROOF ASE IN PF70UC. THEN TO THE EAGLES-GOLD, MAYBE PLATINUM SOMEDAY, BUT WONT HOLD ME BREATH ON THEM. THESE ARE FOR MY RETIREMENT, BECAUSE I DOUBT SOCIALL SECURITY WILL BE THERE FOR ME, IN 40 YEARS.
    I BOUGHT A NEW BATTERY FOR MY SHADOW YESTERDAY, I NEED TO CHARGE IT, THE WEATHER IS GOING TO BE UP IN THE 60'S COME MONDAY AND I WANT TO GO FIOR THE FIRST RIDE OF THE YEAR THEN. MY OLD BATTERY TOOK A HUGE DUMP OVER THE WINTER. MAN, I CANT WAIT, EVEN WITH THE BACK PROBLEMS, A BIKE RIDE IS SO PEACEFUL AND RELAXING, HELL ON THE OLD BACK, BUT WELL WORTH THE FELLING OF FREEDOM!!
    BUT LIFE IS BETTER, I WANT TO THANK THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE THERE FOR ME A COUPLE OF MONTHS GAO, I REALLY NEEDED YOU AND YOU CAME THROUGH FOR ME, THANKS.!!
    I WISH EVERYONE A WONDERFUL JOURNEY ON YOUR COLLECTION AND HOPE YOU FILL ALL THE SLOTS YOU WANT IN THE NEAR FUTURE! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP IF YOU ARE HAVING ANY PROBLEMS, AS IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE "WITH GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE", IF THINGS ARE LOOKING DOWN, JUST LOOK UP, THAT IS WHERE THE ANSWERS ARE.
    THANKS FOR LISTENING(READING) AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR COLLECTION!!
    HAVE A GREAT DAY, WEEKEND AND YEAR!!!

    I AM THINKING ABOUT SENDING THESE IN FOR A PRE-RELEASE LABEL IF I CAN GET NGC TO PUT THE PRE-RELEASE ON THE LABEL!?!
    I WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE A FEW OF THESE ROLLS THIS WEEK, UNFORTUNATELY ONE OF THE ROLLS WAS BUSTED WHEN I RECEIVED IT. SO I AM DEBATING ON GETTING THAT ROLL GRADED. THERE WASN'T ANY LOOSE COINS BUT THE ROLL HAS BEEN TORN A LITTLE. BUT IF I CAN GET NGC TO PUT SOME KIND OF DESIGNATION ABOUT BEING RELEASED EARLY ON THE LABEL IT IS A SURE THING TO HAVE THEM GRADED. I AM ALSO GOING TO SPRINGFIELD NEXT WEEK TO GET THE FIRST DAY ISSUE LABEL IF NGC IS GOING TO DESIGNATE THEM AS SUCH. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET AN ANSWER SINCE I LEARNED OF THE EARLY RELEASE OF THESE CENTS.
    ARE ANY OF YOU INTERESTED IN ONE OF THESE IF I DO GET THEM GRADED? CALL ME (513)295-2478, IF SO, I AM SHORT ON CASH AND CAN OFFER A GREAT DEAL IF YOU PRE-PAY?! I AM NOT TRYING TO SELL THESE HERE ON THE JOURNAL, JUST TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT TO ALL THE FASTEST WAY I KNOW HOW!!

    With noone to speak to about my problems I turn to the "society".
    Well I want to appologize in advance for bringing this personal matter to you all here, but I have no where else to turn. I also, appologize for bringing such dreadfull problems here in the season of what should be happiness and joy.
    I have had a few years of feeling hopeless, helpless and uselessness. I am disabled, i hurt my back on March 23, 2002, working for our local trash collectors, recycling division. I lifted a heavy @$$ can of wet cardboard to dump in my garbage truck, after dumping out what seamed to be 200 gallons of water(in reality it was a 32 gallon garbage can). Well improper body mechanics and the rush to get out of the cold, i grabbed the can and twisted and "pop" there went my back! After about 20 minutes lying on the ground behind my truck i was finally able to get myself up and get back into the cab, I called dispatch and asked for help, only to get the response "we don't have anyone we can send to help you today", that was when I informed the dispatcher that I wasn't asking for help on my route, in fact i was asking for medical attention. Only to be told "drive yourself to the hospital", i replied with "it's your truck, and if I wreck it's your insurance!!". I was able to drive myself to the local hospital, which was only two blocks away. I went into the hospital, registered, waited what seemed to be a week before they told me I had a lumbar strain-sprain! When in reality I had just blew out two disks, the L4-L5 and L5-S1 disks.
    To shorten the story by about 5 years, I tried every type of medical treatment they could throw at me, physical therapy, facet injection(those really hurt), physical therapy, chiropractic manipulation, steroid injections, physical therapy, steroid injections(useless), MRI(while being mildly closter phobic) this having done 7 to date, throw in a few x-rays-when i say a few, what i mean is i could probably recycle about a kilo of silver from the x-ray films i have here on hand, oh yeah,, did i mention physical therapy? I had my first sugery on October 12, 2005, the doctor went in and trimmed the disks away from my ciatic nerve on the left side in order to reduce the pain i was having in my left leg, hip, thigh, calf, ankle and foot. That surgery was successful-for two months!! While in that two months I thought i was fixed, i returned to full time employment as a certified auto mechanic, my wife and I signed the loan papers on our home, just to take a terrible turn for the worst in early december of that year!! Soo now I am unable to work again, and now I have a $783.00 house payment to pay. I am taken off work again by my doctor for approxinately 5 months, struggling every month to pay the bills, after giving my four kids what i think was a crapy Christmas that year!! I said screw it and went back to work in May of 2006, as a mechanic again, i have to admit the job I was able to get, i was making pretty good money. That is when my coin collecting really took off. I was able to buy 8 of the 2006 20th Anniversary Silver Eagle sets, I really wanted the three coin Gold set,, but wasn't doing that good. My wife also worked at the same place, it was a Large buy here pay here car lot, I'm not sure if it is national or not but Tony Stewart, the NASCAR driver was a spokesman for them, J.D. is in the name. I being a mecjanic and my wife working in the financing dept. we were doing good. Then on December 15, 2006, I just couldn't do it any more, that and wrecking a car into my $2700.00 toolbox, due to being so screwed up on the medication i had to take in order to be able to do my job. I was on a cocktail of narcotics everyday, just be able to get upp out of bed and go to work to do the back breaking job of being a mechanic, bending, lifting, crawling and all the othe fun BACK BREAKING tasks that are needed to fix cars, have you ever tried to lie on your back, up under the dash of a car trying to fix some microscopic piece, that you have to be a contorsionist to get to, while your back is resting on the door sill plate, as it grinds into the lumbar region? I am here to tell you, it is probably less painfull to run your arm through a wood chipper!! Back to December 15th, it was the last day I have been able to work, by that time i was walking with the use of a cane, wanting to cry every step i took, due to the extremes pain in my left leg, again, but this time it was way worse than before. My left calf was always in a charley horse, my left hip felt as if it was on fire with that burning pain you get when you are injured and that effected area is numb. Not to mention, the pain that radiated from the lumbar region of my back down through my sacroilliatic joint, through my left buttocks and acroos my left hip, through my thigh and down to my knee, where the pain seem to be amplified through my calf into my ankle, through the outer left side of my foot and out the two smallest toes on my left foot.
    At this point i have tried to avoid any major surgery, the first was a less invasive surgery with a artheroscope(I hope I spelled that right)up through the top of my butt crack into my spine and up through the spinal column to trim those disks. Well i gave in and went for the full blown diskectomy with fixation of the L4-L5, L5-S1 disks and vetebrae. It took 16 months to get my surgery approved through our friends at the bureau of Workmans Compensation(BWC). My surgery took place on April 25, 2008. I now have a 8 inch scare on my back and about 10 ounces of titanium in my back, consisting of two rods, six screws and six spacers attatched to the L4, L5 and S1 vertebrae, half on either side of my spine. Here goes the physical therapy again, I was required to walk 1/4 mile, starting the next day, increasing the distance by 1/4 mile every week till i was able to walk a mile each day, along with therapy 3 times a week with this nice looking therapist, but her looks was the only nice thing about her, she really put me through the mill. I am not saying she was mean, but she was really stern about the exercises i had to do, that just mad me wish i was dead, REALLY, death would have felt better.
    Now i am post surgery by a year and seven months, at first i started to feel better, but then i was entered into vocational rehab, after 3 months of that i had to bow out, due to the symptoms that lead me to get the surgery in the first place was coming back. I am now again on a cane, with all the pain in all the prior disclosed places but at higher levels. The typical pain scale is 10, i feel as if my pain is 13.5 on that scale, i take some of the strongest medication on the market now, four times a day i take a cocktail of about three narcotics, two different muscle relaxers, and due to my feelings of being a failure to my family, my feelings of worthlessness, and the feelings of just wanting this life to be over, i now have to take psychological medication, two different ones, they say they help with nerve pain(they dont). Now I feel pain, at the same time of being so loopy, I am afraid to even drive, the medications make me feel a little better, dont get me wrong, they do releive the pain enough to get up and move around, but never releive the pain enough to be pain free. Some of the side effects of the medicines are insomnia(it is 4:58 am, still no sleep), lightheadedness, irritability, itching all over, lack ov sexual drive, i mean i have a young beautiful, hot sexy wife, that i just dont seem to want anymore. What the HELL is wrong with me? I am not able to play with my kids anymore,

    MY 1999 SILVER PROOFS SUCKED!!
    WELL I PREVIOUSLY WROTE ABOUT SENDING IN TWO GEORGOUS 1999 SILVER PROOF SETS, I EXAMINED THEM UNDER 10X LOUPE AND SEEN NO VISABLE FLAWS WHAT SO EVER.
    I GOT THE GRADES TODAY, AND TO MY SURPRISE I RECEIVED ONLY 2 PF70UC GRADES, ONE GEORGIA AND ONE JERSEY, HOW COULD THAT BE? NOT ONE OF THE COMMON COINS GRADED OUT 70 AND ONLY 2 OF THE QUARTERS-I THINK THE GRADERS AT NGC ARE GETTING A BIT REDICULOUS, I GET BACK 11 MS70 1986 SILVER EAGLES FROM A SINGLE 19 COIN ROLL OF SILVER EAGLES, AND ONLY 2 70S FROM TWO SEEMINGLY PERFECT 1999 SILVER PROOF SETS. HOW COULD THIS BE? I GUESS THE DAY THEY GRADED MY EAGLES THEY ALL WENT TO A LOCAL BAR/RESTARAUNT AND HAD A FEW TOO MANY COCKTAILS, AND WHEN THEY GRADED MY PROOF SETS THEY SUDDENLY HIRED A GROUP OF 90 YEAR OLD GRADERS WHO SOME HOW FORGOT TO BRING THEIR TRIFOCALS IN ON THE DAY THEY GRADED THE PROOFS. NO F#@&ING WONDER PCGS CARRIES A HIGHER VALUE WITH THEIR COINS, AT LEAST THEY ARE CONSISTANT. I AM JUST SO MAD I COULD CRY, THESE COINS WERE IMACULANT, YEARS OF SEARCHIUNG FOR THE PERFECT COINS TO HAVE GRADED AND SHOT DOWN IN AN INSTANT WITH THE SIGHT OF MY GRADES. I JUST DONT GET IT. ENOUGH OF MY POUTING, I HAVE 4 MORE SETS TO SEND, THEY LOOK A LITTLE WORSE THAN THE FIRST 2, LETS SEE HOW THEY TURN OUT, PROBABLY ALL 70S ACROSS THE BOARD. I JUST DONT SEE WHAT I MISSED, WHILE INSPECTING THEM. WHO KNOWS, I GUESS I MAY NEED GLASSES!!

    here is a photo for you to enjoy
    this is my 09 double eagle, the one i was worried about getting before the early releases cut-off date. I received it three days before cut-off, and had to overnight it to get it there in time to receive the Early Releases designation. She turned out to be the coveted MS70 Early Releases.
    Thanks for looking!

    THIS IS A BIG JOB!
    I HAVE BEEN TAKING PICTURES AND UPLOADING THEM TO THE REGISTRY THIS WEEKEND!
    THIS IS A LOT OF WORK, AND DREAD DOING THE REST OF THEM!
    I HAVE GOTTEN ABOUT HALF OF MY SET DONE THIS WEEKEND. I HAVE A RELATIVELY SMALL SET, JUST A LITTLE OVER 200 COINS. I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT I WILL BE UPDATING MY SET AS I RECEIVE THEM FROM NOW ON IN THE FUTURE! MY RIGHT ARM IS NUMB FROM CLICKING, I THINK I HAVE CARPEL TUNNEL SYNDROME FORM THIS()!!
    A WORD OF ADVICE FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO, LIKE ME, SAY I WILL DO IT LATER! JUT GO AHEAD AND DO IT NOW, IT MAY BE A PAIN IN THE REAR TO DRAG OUT THE CAMERA, TAKE THE SHOTS, AND PREPARE THEM TO UPLOAD AND THEN UPLOAD. BUT IT SURE BEATS DOING IT A HUNDRED TIMES AT ONCE.
    WELL I WILL BE DOING THIS ALL WEEK TILL I GET THEM ALL DONE. COME CHECK OUT MY SET LATER THIS WEEK, MOST OF THE PHOTOS ARE PRETTY NICE, A FEW NEED REDONE, I WILL BE DOING THIS AS I GO ALSO!
    UNTIL NEXT TIME, HOPE AND PRAY FOR YOU TO GET THE ONES YOUR AFTER!!

    I WAS ABLE TO BORROW THE MONEY ON A SHORT TERM LOAN TO PAY OFF MY EVEN SHORTER TERM LOANS
    WELL IT HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS SINCE I GOT MY DREAM CAR(NOT QUITE BUT CLOSE ENOUGH FOR NOW) A 1969 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE.
    I WAS SO AFRAID I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO SELL SOME OF MY PRIZED COINS TO FUND THIS VENTURE/INVESTMENT. BUT THANKS TO MY WONDERFUL SISTER-IN-LAW, WHO LOANED ME ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY BACK MY BROTHER AND MY EX-BOSS, WITH A FOUR MONTH LOAN. I HAVE TO PAY HER BACK $1000.00/MONTH BUT THAT SURE BEATS HAVING TO SELL MY BABIES TO PAY BACK THE LOAN FROM THE OTHER TWO SOURCES.
    SO FAR A NEW FUEL CELL, FUEL SENDING UNIT, MASTER CYLINDER, REAR DRUMS, SHOES, WHEEL CYLINDERS, BRAKE LINES, BRAKE HOSE, E-BRAKE CABLES, HEADLAMP SWITCH, RIGHT HEADLIGHT BUCKET AND CHROME RING, AND ALL 4 HEADLAMPS, DIMMER SWITCH, REWIRED THE TEMPURATURE SENDING UNIT, OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT, COIL, NEW WHEELS AND TIRES, FUEL CAP, GRANT MAHOGANY WOODGRAIN STEERING WHEEL, CARBURATOR, PLUGS WIRES AND DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR, WIND SHEILD WIPER BLADES, REAR QUARTER WINDOWS, FRONT RIGHT INTERIOR KICK PANEL, MONTE CARLO BRACE, FUEL FILTERS(PRE AND POST PUMP), BLOWER MOTOR, HEATER CONTROL CABLES, THERMOSTAT, AND I REBUILT THE HEATER CONTROLS. UP TO ABOUT $7000.00 INVESTED SO FAR. BUT WHEN SHE IS DONE SHE WILL BRING AT LEAST $20,000.00, AND SHE ONLY HAS 68,534 ORIGINAL MILES. I THINK I HAVE DONE VERY WELL ON THIS INVESTMENT, DO YOU FEEL THE SAME?
    WELL I AM GOING TO TRY TO UPLOAD AN IMAGE OF SALLY(MY MUSTANG) I KNOW A LITTLE CLICHE', BUT IT WORKS FOR NOW. WHEN I REPAINT HER I WILL THINK OF A MORE FITTING NAME THEN!

    What do I do when i want to keep my coins but want something I have dreamed of as far back as I can remember?
    I have come across an opportunity to purchase a 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible, and I am torn between my collection and this car. I have done a little research on this car and have found that it is potentialy a very valuable automobile, but I will have to part with some of my coins to finance it. When i came upon the car the seller wanted $10,000.00 for it, after viewing it and researching it, I made an offer of $5000.00. It does need a little work, the right front quarter panel has a nice ding in it(needs new quarter panel), the hood has a small ding in the front but can be repaired with a little effort. there is absolutely no rust on this beautiful car, the interior needs a little restoration, nothing to major, but would benefit from a carpet replacement, new seat skins and some good old elbow grease to clean up the rest, also the kick panels in the front and the rear side panels are missing, but these parts are readily available through some aftermarket reproduction parts houses at a reasonable price. It's gonna need a paint job, new wheels and tires, the typical cpr(Calipers, brakes and rotors), rear drums, shoes and hardware. Some suspension upgrades would be nice but not required. Well the seller counteroffered with $6000.00, i then countered with $5500.00 and he accepted. so i figure with about another $3000.00 i will have me a very nice Pony!! But now to the coins, i have about $1300.00 on hand and my brother is going to loan me the rest to buy it, but I have to have him paid back in one week, so in order to do this I will have to sell a few of my babies. Not sure which ones to sell but there are a few i refuse to part with for example my 2009 early releases ms70 UHR $20 double eagle. and my $5 and $10 2008 pf70uc buffalos. the rest is up for the chopping block. But exactly wich ones? I'm not sure. I have also considered selling my 1999 honda shadow 750 ace?! I am so lost at this moment!! I am going to complete the deal at 2pm tomorrow.
    Well, wish me luck and pray for me to make the right decisions. And God bless you and the best of luck with your collections and future aquisitions.

    I BELEIVE SOME PEOPLE ARE MISREADING THE IDEA BEHIND THIS NEW HOLDER- IT'S A BLESSING THEY ARE DOING THIS FOR US! FIND THE GOOD IN THE SITUATION, INSTEAD OF SEEKING OUT THE BAD, LIFE IS JUST EASIER THIS WAY, LESS STRESS EQAULS LONGER LIFE!!
    FIRST OFF. THEY ARE NOT ASSIGNING A NUMERIC GRADE TO PROBLEM COINS, THEY ARE ADDING A DETAILS GRADE: FOR EXAMPLE IF THE COIN WOULD GRADE AN XF40 IF THERE WASN'T ANY SURFACE ISSUES, THEY ARE CALLING IT AN XF ONLY, NO NUMERIC GRADE OF 45! AND TO SAY YOU ARE GOING TO PCGS FOR THIS IS SILLY. PCGS DOES THIS ALSO THEY MARK THEM AS "AUTHENTIC" WITH NO DETAILS GRADE AND IF I AM CORRECT THEY DONT ALLOW YOU TO ADD IT TO YOUR REGISTRY SET ON THEIR WEBSITE.
     
    JUST THINK ABOUT IT FOR A SECOND, SAY YOU HAVE A 1893 MORGAN DOLLAR THAT HAS BEEN CLEANED, UNDER NGC'S OLD POLICY YOUR COIN WOULD BE RETURNED AS UNGRADEABLE(BODY BAGGED) AND YOU WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO ADD IT TO YOUR REGISTRY SET- RESULTING IN NO POINTS FOR YOUR SUPER RARE COIN. UNDER THEIR NEW POLICY NOT ONLY DO YOU PROTECT YOUR COIN FROM FUTHER DAMAGE, YOU GET TO ADD IT TO YOUR REGISTRY SET, AND ON TOP OF THAT, YOU GET HALF THE POINTS FOR A GRADEABLE COIN. NOT TO MENTION YOU DONT FEEL ROBBED SINCE YOU PAID TO HAVE IT GRADED AND SLABBED, YOU NOW GET IT AUTHENTICATED, WITH A DETAILS GRADE, AND GET IT SLABBED, HENCE GETTING SOMETHING FOR YOUR MONEY INSTEAD OF A $.10 COIN FLIP!!
     
    JUST MAKES SENCE TO ME!? TO COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS ISSUE DOESN'T SEEM TO MAKE ANY SENCE AT ALL. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU HAD A COIN SENT BACK TO YOU AS UNGRADEABLE? AND WISHED THEY WOULD HAVE AT LEAST JUST PUT IT IN A SLAB?
     
    ANOTHER GOOD THING ABOUT THEM DOING THIS IS AT LEAST MOST OF THESE WILL BE SOLD IN THEIR HOLDER INSTEAD OF THE SELLERS WHO RELIST AN UNGRADEABLE COIN AS A GRADEABLE COIN JUST FOR SOMEONE ELSE TO BUY IT THINKING THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET IT GRADED. A BIT OF INSURANCE FOR THE BUYER!!
     
    THANKS NGC FOR OFFERING THIS NEW SERVICE TO US, MOST OF US WILL BE WELCOMING IT WITH OPEN ARMS, AND WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO SLAB OUR PROBLEM COINS, WITH A GENERIC DETAILS GRADE! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF THIS NEW SERVICE, PCGS WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOUR BUSINESS, AND WOULD LOVE TO UNDERGRADE YOUR COINS FOR MORE MONEY, AND LONGER TURN AROUNDS THAN NGC. ENJOY YOUR GRADING SERVICE, WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE!!

    By COLLECT-A-BILLS,

    I GUESS I WAS PUT IN MY PLACE!
    YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO TRIES TO DO A NOBEL DEED, AND OTHERS JUST CANT STAND IT. I GUESS ROSA PARKS SHOULD HAVE JUST SAT IN THE BACK OF THE BUS, AND MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. SHOULD HAVE JUST KEPT HIS MOUTH SHUT! AND DON'T FORGET ABOUT OUR FOUNDING FATHERS WHO TOLD ENGLAND TO GO STUFF IT, MAYBE THE COLONIES SHOULD HAVE PUT THEM ON IGNORE! WHERE WOULD WE BE NOW?
    YOU KNOW IT MAY NOT HAVE WORKED BUT, WHAT WOULD IT HAVE HURT TO TRY. I GUESS THOSE OUT THERE WHO DONT COLLECT THESE COINS WOULDN'T CARE, BUT WHAT IF SOMEONE CAME UP WITH AN IDEA TO HELP YOU GET THE COINS THAT YOU COLLECT, AT FACE VALUE? WOULD YOU BE MORE RESPONSIVE THEN? AS I HAVE HEARD SO MANY PEOPLE SAY THIS WAS A COMMUNITY, AND THAT A COMMUNITY BY DEFINITION WAS A GROUP OF PEOPLE WHO HELPED EACH OTHER WHEN NEEDED? I GUESS ITS ONLY A COMMUNITY WHEN IT BENEFITS THESES CERTAIN PEOPLE. WELL I WILL NOT POST ANOTHER JOURNAL ABOUT THE SUBJECT. I JUST HOPE WHEN THE TIMES ARISE WHEN YOU NEED THAT HELPING HAND FROM YOUR COMMUNITY THAT YOU DONT GET PUT ON IGNORE!!
    HAVE A GOOD ONE!!!

    LETS GET US THE NEW COINS, A VERY SIMPLE METHOD THAT I BELEIVE WOULD WORK REALLY WELL!!
    IF WE ALL WENT TO THE BANK ON A CERTAIN DAY SUCH AS JUNE 15(NEXT MONDAY) AND WE ALL BOUGHT AS MANY ROLLS OF COINAGE WE COULD AFFORD, SUCH AS BUYING ONE $25.00 BOX OF CENTS, 10 ROLLS OF DIMES, 12 ROLLS OF NICKELS, AND 10 ROLLS OF QUARTERS, THAT IS A TOTAL OF $199.00.
    THE KICKER IS, ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS SIT ON THESE ROLLS FOR A WEEK AND THEN ON JUNE 22 GO BACK TO OUR BANKS AND GET MORE ROLLS-THESE SHOULD BE THE NEW COINS. BECAUSE IF WE ALL BUY THE $199.00 EACH IN COINS THEN WE WOULD DEPLETE THE RESERVES STOCKPIKE OF OLD COINAGE, AND THE MINT WOULD BE FORCED TO SEND OUT THE NEW COINS, THEN WHEN WE ALL GET OUR NEW COINS WE SIMPLY TAKE THE ROLLS OF OLD COINS AND RETURN THEM BACK TO THE BANK AND GET OUR $195.00 BACK AND WE'LL HAVE THE NEWS ONES-
    DAMN ITS SO SIMPLE I BELEIVE IT WOULD WORK!!!
    ARE YOU ALL WITH ME?
    LETS BEAT THE MINT AND FEDERAL RESERVE AT THEIR OWN GAME!!
    UPDATE-- IF WE ALL WENT ON THE SAME DAY THE RESERVES WOULD JUST REFILL THE BANKS WITH WHAT THEY HAVE ON HAND,, SO WE SOULD GO EACH DAY AND BUY 1/5 OF THE TOTAL=10 ROLLS LINCOLN CENTS, 2 ROLLS OF DIMES, 3 ROLLS OF NICKELS, AND 2 ROLLS OF QUARTERS, OR HOW EVER MUCH YOU COULD AFFORD, IF YOU CAN SIT ON $1000.00 THEN BUY ACCORDINGLY, BUT SERIOUSLY WE NEED TO DO SOMETHING- SCREW THIS STRETEGIC STOCKPILE THE MINT IS TALKING ABOUT, LET THEM TAKE THE OLD COINAGE AND STOCKPILE IT AND GIVE US THE NEW STUFF. IT SEEMS THE MINT GETS US EVERY TIME WE TURN AROUND-ALL THE PREMIUMS FOR THE PRODUCTS WE BUY FROM THEM WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY MAKING A BOAT LOAD ON THE STUFF THEY MINT AND SELL TO THE RESERVE,, WE SHOULD GET IT FOR AS COLSE TO FACE AS POSSIBLE-SANS THE GOLD, SILVER AND PLATINUM DUE ONLY TO THE INTRINSIC VALUE. WHY DO WE HAVE TO PAY $32.95 FOR $20.00 WORTH OF QUARTERS WHEN THEY ONLY HAVE ABOUT $1.75 IN THE ROLL ANYWAYS? LETS FOR REAL GET THE STUFF FOR FACE VALUE!!! AND MY PLAN WOULD ALLOW THIS TO HAPPEN!!
    SO REALLY FELLOW COLLECTORS-BUY $30-$40 PER DAY FOR A WEEK IN ALL DIFFERENT DENOMINATIONS OF COINS AND WE WILL SOON HAVE THE NEW COINS AND BE ABLE TO BASK IN THE BLISS OF DOLLAR FOR DOLLAR COINS!!
    I HAVE ONLY HAD A FEW RESPONSES TO THIS IDEA, WE REALLY NEED TO THIS FELLOW COLLECTORS, THIS IS IMPARATIVE TO GET DONE AS WE KEEP GETTING SCREWED BY THE MINT AND RESERVES, AND ITS TIME WE TOOK CONTOL AND DONE SOMETHING TO HELP OUT THE COLLECTING COMMUNITY INSTEAD OF THE GOVERNMENT.

    BULLY HAS A POINT, BUT I STILL THINK IF WE ALL BOUGHT EACH DENOMINATION, AND CLEARED THEM ALL OUT, BECAUSE THERE ARE ALOT OF US WHO DO WANT THE LOWEST MINTAGE OF DIMES AND NICKELS IN ALMOST HALF A CENTURY. I TOO WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE FACE VALUE FOR THE LINCOLN CENTS, THE JEFFERSON NICKELS, THE ROOSEVELT DIMES AND THE TERRITORY QUARTERS.
    SO EVERYONE BUY AS MANY ROLLS OF WHATEVER AND WITHIN A WEEK, BRINKS AND THE LIKES WILL BE OUT AND HAVE TO REGROUP VIA THE RESERVES, THEN WE'LL GET THE ONE WERE AFTER-WHATEVER IT MAY BE!
    SO. ON MONDAY GO TO YOUR BANK AND BUY ROLLS, THEN ON TUESDAY- THE SAME, THEN WEDNESDAY- THE SAME, AND SO-ON ANS SO-FORTH!
