  1. Sometimes with everything going on and other duties to perform I have to Prioritize things...Easier when your in the Lead already or have a back up plan..Just take the time and do it...which I need to practice what I preach...I have a Group of Coins I need t send into our Host which would change some people's view on their Registries...Competition is Great and Keeps the Game Changing for the Better in My Opinion...Has the Market Price or Availability in your above series changed Dramatically or at certain grade levels or varieties do you see the existence in short supply or abundance? A dealer in North Carolina was on the phone at his B & M Last week and was Placing a Raw Foreign Coin with a Client and I overheard him agree with the person on the amount of Foreign coins which are not graded and how the census at PCGS and NGC show Low numbers but in all actuality the Collectors of certain series/issues refuse and do not want these coins certified. You might be able to find more of what you seek "in the Rough" so to say and I know that on my Columbian PCGS Certified Coins the Census is Very Low but I've spoken to some collectors of the series and many reside raw..Good Luck on your Endeavors....Congrats on #1 and I think you've got it anyway....

  2. We were looking at some 1983 coins and I was reminded that the quarter...not sure which mint...has a spitting Eagle variety and I forgot that we searched through all these back in 2008 and I pulled the ones that were noticeable...(I'll have to find them and take pics) anyway, weird thing about your post is it was with a Family member who was so sick from Cancer at the time and he tried to relax and take his mind off of it and we started with these 1983's and it lead to that variety finding...one of the finest times and special memories for me with an otherwise difficult person I could never have a normal conversation with, always ended up in an argument...but not that day, that day we were like treasure hunters and bonded over something most would consider a waste of time...I will never forget that Day.
