Once again, your kind words are gratefully received. I didn't know of the issues with CAC, so that's a new one on me. If the CAC bonus point end up going away, I and others will be rather annoyed. I had a chance to bag a '40-D Washington quarter NGC MS67+ and a '40-S Washington NGC MS67+ CAC for about the same price; about $1,500 each. However, while I was occupied in grabbing the '40-S Linc, some scurvy knave or knaves bought them out from underneath me

Owing to improved circumstances, I am once again able to continue improving my 1940 Mint Set; as I just bagged a 1940-S Lincoln cent in the grade of NGC MS67+ CAC from Kearney Coin Company in Kearny, Nebraska. The presence of the CAC sticker is (as yet) unrecognized by NGC, so I'll have to dash off a message to get them to correct the entry.
-
The only remaining coin I need to re-complete the set is a '40-P Washington quarter in NGC MS67. Unfortunately, the only specimens I'm seeing for sale right now aren't all that attractive; I've never been a fan of toning, as I prefer my coins to be stone-white brilliant.
-
Due to improved circumstances, I've been able to keep the rest of the 1940 set as it is, and have recently obtained replacements fro my 1940 Lincoln cents, all are now in the grade of NGC MS67
-
Gentlemen: It is with the deepest regret that I announce that (due to economic necessity), I have to downgrade my 1940 set from NGC MS67 to NGC MS66. Nothing like a busted waterpipe in my house to kill my desire to continue the competition.
-
It was the hype surrounding the sale of Blay's collection that did it.
-
Insane is the word you're looking for. I left the auction with 45 minutes to go; the remaining action was a war between Bidder 8 and Bidder 9...
-
Well, I've been sandbagged. My bid of $800.00 for that '40-S Lincoln just got surpassed.....
-
There's less than 12 hours to go in the auction, and I think it strange that the '40-D Lincoln is getting more attention than the '40-S Lincoln...
-
I have to wonder why the '40-D is so under-valued points-wise. In MS67+ CAC, it's just as scarce as the '40 and the '40-S...
-
Your kind words are gratefully received, good sir.
-
I had a bid out on the Stewart Blay '40-D cent, but I was outbid. I'm letting this one go because in my mind, the price isn't worth the few extra registry points I'd get for it.
-
Indeed. We are, all of us in this hobby, gentlemen; are we not?
-
I have a bid out on the Stewart Blay '40-S Lincoln Cent PCGS MS67+ CAC; the auction concludes in just under four days and thus far, I'm in the lead...
-
Gentlemen: Your kind wishes are gratefully received. It will be difficult to further-upgrade this set, because higher-graded specimens of the pieces therein are VERY scarce and go for stupid money. For example, the Executive Coin Company has a '64-P Kennedy in NGC MS67+ for $3,300.00; I don't want to think about how much either of the Jeffersons would go for in NGC MS67 6FS.... . I'm looking for a 1964-P Lincoln Cent in NGC MS67, because my specimen is NGC MS66.
-
My set has been officially recognized as the #1 set in both the NGC and combined registries. We likes this, my preciousssss.
-
You're very welcome.
-
The 1940 Washington quarter PCGS MS67+ CAC has been added to my registry set and my point total now stands at 25,503.
-
I am pleased to report that I just bagged a 1940 Washington quarter in the grade of PCGS MS67+ CAC Pending the release of the coin's ownership., it will be added to my registry set. The previous example I had of the issue is graded NGC MS67, with a point value of 774. The new coin is worth 2,674 points, and the net change is 1,900 points
-
I am pleased to report that I've gotten my 1940 Lincoln PCGS MS67+ CAC added to my set
-
I could also find the coins in the grades I want in PCGS slabs, and just add them. After all, the point values are the same.
-
The problems with the system are still on-going...
-
It was taken down by the seller; don't know why...
-
Undoubtedly; the problem with that is that NGC-certified slabs in those grades are scarcer than hen's teeth. That '40-D Lincoln in NGC MS67+ that I found on ebay yesterday disappeared today.
-
I've been outbid on the '40-D and '40-S Lincolns in PCGS MS67+ CAC However, I do have a line on a '40-D Lincoln in the grade of NGC MS67+. If I win this one, I won't have to take the chance of sending the PCGS-certified coin to NGC for a crossover (and having it come back a lower grade). Plus, if I can get the score corrected, I'll net an additional 1,732 points.
