2012 goals met by John M. Robinson II

Hard to believe but, I stuck with it.

 

I started my coin collection, from scratch, in November 2011. I did not know what I would actually collect but, after reading many of the comments on this site, doing what I like and what I could offered were the main guidance from the various people who read this Newbie comments.

 

I finally decided to focus, as a primary collection, my attention on NGC PF70 Sacawawea and President dollar coins. Along with other coins that I purchased--because they drew my attention--my collection was increasing by each month throughout 2012.

 

As of December 24th, I now have a number 1 set of the Sacawawea and another number 1 set of President dollar coins. Both are NGC PF70 sets. Throughout 2012, I read various articles and debates on either/or PCGS versis NGC. Bottom line: pick the coin, not the slab and pick the TPG that you feel most comfortable. IMHO, I picked NGC.

 

My final raw coin for 2012, that was just graded by NGC is the--shinny penny-- that my mother received last November in pocket change. The 1999 Lincoln Cent was graded as: MS64 RD. Not too bad for pocket change. For those who wondered, I sent the coin first to NCS to be properly cleaned, then on to NGC.

 

To all of my friends on this site, Happy New Years and I hope 2013 brings you some fun during your adventures in life and coin collecting.

 

Semper Fi !
