GRADING

ICG vs NGC and PCGS This morning I was watching HSN on cable TV. They were offering American Siver Eagles graded by ICG. The offer was ICG graded 2007 American Silver Eages, MS-70, Fisrt Day of issue, about 15,000, for $100.00 each! I was thinking the U.S. Mint must be doing an excellent job of minting. Then I got to thinking, ICG grading standards must not be as tight as NGC and PCGS. I don't think they have ever graded 15,000 MS-70 Silver Eagles in a year let alone the first day! Th

RE: A No Grade

I too have suffered this problem! I have also submitted proof sets from the 1960's in OGP! The last one I submitted, the Lincoln cent came back in a body bag as colored! (NO GRADE) This has happen to me twice on the 1960's. My first one, was a Commemorative Silver (2004's) dollar in OGP. It came back in a body bag as being cleaned. I pursed this one with the results of it still had a new home in a body bag. With the time and cost involved, I've just learned to live with it.

American Buffalo

Native American treat! In my humble opinion, this new gold American Buffalo is one of the greatest design the mint has EVER used! I understand next year 2007 the mint will have four coins just like the eagle. Let's hope so. Secondly, buffalo meat is excellent. IF you are ever in Northern Utah, you must stop by Perry, Utah on I-15! Perry is next to Brigham City to the south. There is a steak house called Maddox Steakhouse.. They have the most EXCELLENT BISON CHICKEN FRIED STEAK. Add

Re: "Poor Man's Insanity"

Need to Upgrade! MWit, has a great looking set! However, you have two sets just below you, that will be passing you soon! You need to upgrade where you can. One of my sets of Morgans was getting ready for the TOP 100, but has been pushed way back, I'can't focus like you. You have done a great job THANKS!

Coin Collecting

Started to seriously work on my coin collections in January 2004. Have been building a base and haven't focused on any one series yet. Leaning towards Morgan dollars and Walking Liberty half dollars.

Thank You NGC!

Quality! Quality! Quality! It's been over two years now that I've been submitting coins to NGC. The Customer Service people have been very outstanding! If you have a problem they fix it!! THANKS! The graders have been great, I'm not so concerned about the time, what I want is quality. I just ask that my coins be graded on what they are and not some curve or percentage. THANKS!

Re: Registry Awards

Great program! I would like to see NGC add a Top 10 or Top 10% Awards. The Morgan Dollar has 521 sets, a Top 10 I might make some day, If I live long enough, and win a lottery! Top 10% would be obtainable for more collectors. Obscured sets shouldn't be included, the purpose of this site is to share! How can you share if you can't see it.

Hello, my name is Clay and I TOO am a numismanic!

I started about two years ago! I had been collecting small amounts of coins for years on and off, until about two years ago. Then I too found the hard stuff (slabs). If that wasn't bad enough I found pedigree coins! Now I haven't found a pedigree I didn't have to have, help! Then about a year ago I sold one of my pedigree coins to a great guy, and he told me he was hoping to pass me on the morgan dollar registry soon! Then I was hooked, I wasn't going to let someone pass me, but they are.

OMAHA BANK HOARD

NGC vs PCGS Since I like to collect pedigree coins, I have to collect both NGC and PCGS. I perfer NGC and do not understand why PCGS won't allow NGC in their registry!

NGC ERRORs

Few I have found NGC to be just like a human, they make mistakes! But, if you let them know, thet are very happy to correct the problem. Want I want from NGC is QUALITY, and they have been providing me that. Very few corporations will call you and tell you of a problem. NGC WILL!

FITZGERALD COLLECTION

Another pedigree collection As of this date I now have sixteen different dates/mints in Morgan dollars! There are other dates available, but cost is a problem on some. I only have one Peace Dollar at this time! This is a long term collection.

RICHMOND COLLECTION

Enjoy collecting I enjoy this collection because there are so many different coins to collect. The Morgan and Peace dollars have been very clean. I only have one Walking Liberty so far. Working on the Washington collection.

Binion Collection

My first pedigree coin. My first pedgree coins are from the Binion Collection. It's just like a Hollywood movie, greed, sex, and murder. I enjoy this collection, but wish there were more dates and mints to collect, I don't think you can get a complete collection. I've only found Morgan, and Peace dollars for the registry, with a couple of Walking Liberty's.

PEDIGREE COINS

Are they worth more or just more interesting? Since I've started collecting, I found that pedigree coins are interesting. I started with the Binion Collection in morgan and peace dollars, and now also have two Walking Liberty's in this pedigree. Then I found The Richmond Collection, The Continental Bank Hoard and The Fitzgerald Collection in dollars, and The Pittman Collection in Walking Liberty. I don't know how many collections there are, but it makes it more fun. The one problem is not
