What are NGC Journals?

[Architecht]

These chat boards are extension of the CCG|NGC/NCS/PMG/CGC collecting community at:

 

http://coins.www.collectors-society.com

 

Members of the main Collectors Society site have a number of fun collecting tools available to them, including the registries, AND collector journals. Collector Journals are an easy way to blog about your collecting experience.

 

Recently, we've added a new feature to the Collectors Journals that allows posts made to the Journals to show up here on the chat boards so that people can respond to and discuss journal entries if the original author allows it. Members who turn on this feature for a journal entry have the choice of either providing their chat board login so that the post will show up as made by their chat board account, or skipping that step and letting our automated "CS Journals" account post it for them.

 

The Journal feature is designed to allow our members to share their collecting journey with other members. We hope that over time our members find that they've been able to use the journals as a way to share a kind of diary with other collectors, and can look back over their entries as a road map of their collecting adventure. This is different than general posting on the message board because there is a single place to view the collection of journal posts for each member.

 

Use the Journal feature to:

 

• Share your experiences and thoughts
  
• Share your unique acquisitions
  
• Share your knowledge with other collectors

I am having a problem with my journals posting in this forum. I check the box and check the login information but when I submit my journal it never posts. The only thing I can think of is that there is a setting on my web browsers that is prohibiting this. Can you help? Thanks.

I have the same problem. At one point they would post, but lately they don't post to this forum. I would like others to be able to comment about my journals. Can you help?

This is a bit of a nagging problem that we're having trouble reproducing. There is a small handful of people with this issue that I've talked to, but no clear cause has emerged.

 

I'm going to refocus some efforts on this and see if we can get it pinned down.

Hi All,

I'm pretty new to NGC and CS. "About 2 weeks now". I have been collecting coins for about 5 years now and just buy, what I think looks cool. I have bought several coins on ebay and from the Mint also. I even have a small collection that my grandmother left me in the 70's, some morgans and silver eagles. I have no idea what they are worth, and the same goes for the stuff I have bought from the mint. My wife and I have moved several times in the past few years, and to be honest, I have several boxes of coins, no telling where. I am not very organized, but have been reading posts on here for 2 days now. The information on here is awesome, and addictive. Hopefully, I will be able to find some of the boxes of stuff I have acquired over the last several years and maybe learn how to use a scanner or camera. In the mean time, I hope to meet many friends on here, and hopefully get to learn more about coin collecting in the process.

Anyway, Thanks to all who have been so nice the past few weeks on here.
