LDH Coins & Memorabilia

Thanks to everyone for calming my impulse down to buy something I would regret before ever seeing coin LOL. When I get close to completion of a set I lose focus LOL   I have completed and upgraded other set but this set has taken the longest. God Bless all and Happy Thanksgiving  

Thanx and I totally agree  I have been searching for that coin to complete set but prices haven't cooperated  Thanx again !

Hello all, I have read previous threads about spots or marks on coins but I would appreciate if I could get some opinions on the attached coin. It's on ebay for 1500 which is more than I want to pay but I more concerned about spot. Thanx for any feedback  

PS: Sorry I wasn't able to post picture but eBay item number:404004056112 -- Sorry for inconvenience  

Thank you for that information !!!!

Thank you both are helpful but I was talking computer to registry. Is there a specific background ? Thanx for the information  

Where can I find instructions on uploading pictures ? Such as background , number of pictures , etc. Thanx  

I agree - but sometimes I'm not as patient as I need to be. Based off HA and GC lately prices aren't coming down to reality (based on coins I'm looking  ). Also, I haven't found any decent coin shops in central North Carolina, but I have a coin club but they aren't into slabbed coins, only raw. Coin shows are available but good prices are far and few between. I guess I will learn patience with GC, HA, and ebay.  

Thanx for input and the additional toning posts were interesting and informative. Of my sets, most of them are a mixture of NGC and PCGS (mostly NGC), but I realized my Peace. set (all dates and all mints were a few coins short all PCGS. Last coin was the 1934 S Peace dollar (NGC AU 58 with CAC) but the bidding went too far past my range. Although someone on this forum said I have more cents than sense  but I have limitations. Thanx for asking

My apologies to the forum for stereotyping because of a few comments on grading, and thank you Goldfinger1969 for the information. I've been hunting for one coin to complete all date & all mint marks set but all I see are overpriced ones in the needed TPG slab  but I see one in the other TPG reasonably priced  but needs crossover to keep set uniformity. Thanks to all  

Although I realize (from past responses on forum)  the negative financial impact of grading coins, and also the the CAC "green bean" is a gimmick, but I would like to know the forum thoughts on: Does a CaC sticker give you a better chance of having a coin crossover to other TPG and retain same grade ? 

thanx in advance  

By the way the coins I was looking at was 1923 Peace dollars  

Thanx for input  I always compare Ebay sold and current listings and the same for GC, and GC wins most times. The sellers on both items I was interested in have well over 1000 good sales and no negative  Based on GC historical data, they could make more if they sold on GC  

Thanx again 

Normally GC beats Ebay prices but I was comparing Peace prices and Ebay was better - Thoughts ? 

Newbie Question: How could a fake be in a slab ? Is the label the fake ? I thought slabbed coins were pretty safe ?  

CORRECTION: Sorry for the Newbie mistake ; those fees for selling (that I first posted above) are from GC, not HA. I have been buying and selling on GC, but have only purchased from HA. I am just learning HA but I like GC better.

EagleRJO : Your assessment is spot on in terms of hammer price and FMV. GC waives seller's fee for coins sold over 1,000. I have not determined selling fees on HA. I agree with sticking with GC but I monitor HA for coins wanted but I bid more very cautiously than HA due to that hammer price that you were speaking of  

Hello Coin lovers, What is the opinion of the panel regarding : selling at HA and selling coins that have made their "hot list" using these additional features ??

Lighthouse makes albums that hold 4 or 6 "Encap" sheets and it sheet holds 9 slabbed coins. The down side is they are expensive (35 to 55 dollars), and the sheets run about 5 bucks each. I like them because I can pull out a album which contains 36 to 54 coins at one time.  

Yes, They at sending me a return label  I do feel it may have been a mechanical error but what does "Quality Check" really mean LOL  

Hello all, although I know the forum's thoughts on grading but I thought this was interesting. I sent 12 coins (4 of each mint mark) to one of the 2 leading grading companies. They sent back coins with labels for 8 Philadelphia and 4 Denver but there was actually 4 San Frans that they labeled "P". How can I trust the grade when they see a P instead of a S on a coin LOL 

Thanx for input, and I truly love GC & Ian, and trust their option  and I agree with your assessment of possible increase sale price. I guess what is puzzling is all of the other coins didn't make the cut which tells me something about the grading (maybe the grade is under or over graded. Or maybe I don't unstained the meaning of CAC which I thought just verifies grade of thier work  Thanx again and if it increases sale value - I'm willing to foot the bill. I probably wouldn't request it on real coin ??

Hello Coin Lovers and Experts, I have another Newbie question: I have been dealing with GC (buying and selling) for about a year and I always leave start price and CAC options to GC. For the first time, they request the CA option on a 4 coin submission I made. My question is what causes this action considering I've submitted similar coins (grade / price range) they never were sent for CAC

My CC set is missing the above coins to complete the set, and as a newbie, I was wondering if either of these coins would fill slots in the registry (before I purchase) ?

1880-CC MS62 PCGS#  7100.62/44669581

1880-CC MS64 NGC # 012663-52

1879-CC   XF-45 PCGS # 7088.45/36145777

 Or does the coins have to only be the coins shown on the "see coins tab" on registry ?

Thank you in advance.

My reading and looking at pictures hasn't helped  

I love this chat board   Thanx !!!!

Thanx all  I really apprciate the advice but how did they know which reverse it was without seeing coin ; when you put cert # in PCGS it does not have a picture nor does it identify the reverse ??

I am starting to add my coins to the registry and when I used auto build for the CC set. My PCGS 1880CC #9169130 was approved  to 1880 Rev 1879. How could they tell without seeing coin ? I actually didn't know there was 2 slots for each year of 1879 and 1880. How do you know how many slots will be in a certain set or can you request adjustments to number slots. Please excuse my learning curve LOL  and sorry for poor photos - I need a new phone !
