About this journal

Friends,

 As of first ---- 15 years ago or so we had a FRIENDS list available on our member home page.  A few years ago the FRIENDS were changed to FOLLOWERS by the NGC group. 

 Now there is not even a followers list on our home page.  Is this Followers list coming back?? Seems the club is moving more and more towards unsocial practices.

Use to be a member could post their journal from their private member page. Now they have to go to Chat Boards to do so. I don't mind it but I know that many members do not use the chat boards. Will there be a link later to post journals from the member page?

My Latest Loss

A little reverse psychology on collecting!! Hey friends, Well this week ended up in a trade with another member. I have been working on 1979 proof set a couple years now. Only missing a few keepers to complete I traded a sweet 1988 Lincoln PF70rdUC for a 1979 25c Type 2 70UC and some cash. As this is a farewell to the Lincoln I decided to post a pic for perfection. Good Bye and Enjoy To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

A Parks Weekend

The weather is right! Friends, There is a great feeling that you get just hanging out around a favorite park. Camping, hiking, and fishing. Get out and enjoy mother nature a little bit. To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

A Modern COMMEMORATIVE weekend planned

Many bids this week working both ends of the sets!! Friends, As usual I am always trying to figure out a new direction in collecting coins. I have many Modern Commems to send in for grading and at the same time I am building a dansco set on the raw end. It is great to complete a raw set as well as a graded set of each series I compete in. I have a blast at both sides without the total letdown of grading and expenses. Going for some TOUGH hole fillers in my RAW set this week. ---- Wish me l

All Tied up in State Quarter grading!!

My grading that is!! Friends, I have been searching over 150 rolls so far to get a few nice keepers to add to my set graded. I thought at the time it would be a breeze and then I got all kinds of work added to my daily program. It has been all I can do to get some midnight hours to search the rolls I have and now I am adding 24 dates at 10 rolls each to boot. ---- Numismatic Searching Nut!!!

Good Luck on Competition Sets!!

I had a GREAT year! Friends, The year ended up pretty nice this year with all my State Quarter submissions. I helped a couple sets and also completed my set. Of course I sold around 6 keepers to help others complete their state quarter set but I can always make more. Next year is already in the plans for some great submissions. I have silver dime varieties, modern commemorative dollars - MS, and of course another state quarter submission at NGC now to start the beginning of the new coin year

A good start for 2017

Adjusting to new rules. Friends, Well, The new year started with adjustments made to fit in sorta speak. A few posts started on no more PCGS coins have been adding up of which I don't get into as I don't do much accusations with not knowing the full truth behind the smoke screen. The posts read like women in a salon talking about yesterdays dramatic soap opera. So with that said I have sent all my sales and trade set PCGS coins off to new collectors that do not build sets here in the cl

New Chat Boards is up!!

This is going to take a little time to adjust to. Friends, I finally got into the chat boards today after work. WOW -- everything is so different that you are totally lost from the start. Have patience though as you will get use to the new platform. I posted in the money market and even added a pic of a coin from my computer data. That is a great ++ now with the easy new downloading available. Rick

This place needs to liven up a little!!

Where did all the new coin pics go? Friends, O-K so we went through some dramatic changes in the club. We still purchase coins no matter, so where are all the new additions? It's time for everybody to get back to collecting coins around here. The day started off good with work and my wife and grown kids were going to a movie ( The Shack ) and lunch. Well it all blew up somewhere when someone was worried about me and my will. That must have been one heck of a movie!! It tore the whole

Thanks CBC!!

WOWSERS CBC, As the Peace 34-S slab says MS63 I am totally in awe of the great looks of that obverse. The reverse must be a mess to average out at 63. Thanks for the pic and time will get you that SWEET 34-S for sure. I had to search for something to show off. Been ATS lately hanging out with a 16 year kid that loves dimes. I think the next year is going to render toward the silver dimes and clads for me. Enjoy building your sets all!!!

Nice Indian Jackson

message boards coming soon!! Jackson, You do know that you can send in more than 25 slots per entry right? Oh yeah they will keep the page growing for you to keep filling out those slots now. Ha Ha!! I plan on getting back in the dimes in June. Taking a few months off submitting and just selling for a while. On the pic you took I really liked it. It takes some sun to get through many toned copper coins. If the pic does not look the way you want in the sunlight wait till a partial clou
