SP70 DPL ENHANCED FINISH SILVER KENNEDY's

I GOT 6 SP70 DPL(2) & PL(4) ENHANCED FINISH OUT OF 15 SETS OF THE 50th ANNIVERSARY SILVER KENNEDY FOUR COIN SETS. WITH ENOUGH OF THE OTHER COINS TO COMPLETE 8 SETS OF 70's SO FAR, I HAVE SENT IN 40 SETS OF THE "50th ANNIVESARY SILVER HIGH RELIEF KENNEDY HALF DOLLAR SETS". OF THE FIRST 20 SETS GRADED I GOT 4 COMPLETE SETS OF 70's, AND OF THOSE 15 SETS THERE ARE 8 COMPLETE 70 SETS, STILL WAITING ON THE LAST FIVE SETS TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I WILL UPDATE WHEN I GET THE RESULTS. THANKS FOR LOOK

WHAT TO DO, WHAT TO DO!?

THINKING OF SELLING MY BASEBALL HOF COINS! I WENT TO THE BALTIMORE WHITMAN COIN EXPO, AND WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO GET THE BASEBALL HALL OF FAME COINS AND GET THEM GRADED AS "OPENING DAY RELEASES". BUT, THE DELIMA IS, I AM BEHIND ON MY MORTGAGE AND MY MORTGAGE HOLDER HAS OFFERED ME A REALLY LOW BUYOUT AND I WOULD OWN MY HOUSE OUTRIGHT! WELL, NOW THE PROBLEM IS COMING UP WITH THE CASH TO DO SO, I HAVE SOLD MOST OF THE COINS FROM THE EXPO ON EBAY, I AM NOW DOWN TO MY PERSONAL COLLECTION COINS MINU

EXACTLY MY POINT!!

BUY THEM ALL!! BULLY HAS A POINT, BUT I STILL THINK IF WE ALL BOUGHT EACH DENOMINATION, AND CLEARED THEM ALL OUT, BECAUSE THERE ARE ALOT OF US WHO DO WANT THE LOWEST MINTAGE OF DIMES AND NICKELS IN ALMOST HALF A CENTURY. I TOO WANT TO BE ABLE TO GIVE FACE VALUE FOR THE LINCOLN CENTS, THE JEFFERSON NICKELS, THE ROOSEVELT DIMES AND THE TERRITORY QUARTERS. SO EVERYONE BUY AS MANY ROLLS OF WHATEVER AND WITHIN A WEEK, BRINKS AND THE LIKES WILL BE OUT AND HAVE TO REGROUP VIA THE RESERVES, THEN WE'

ADDING PHOTOS- WOW!!

here is a photo for you to enjoy this is my 09 double eagle, the one i was worried about getting before the early releases cut-off date. I received it three days before cut-off, and had to overnight it to get it there in time to receive the Early Releases designation. She turned out to be the coveted MS70 Early Releases. Thanks for looking!

ADDING PHOTOS- WOW!!

THIS IS A BIG JOB! I HAVE BEEN TAKING PICTURES AND UPLOADING THEM TO THE REGISTRY THIS WEEKEND! THIS IS A LOT OF WORK, AND DREAD DOING THE REST OF THEM! I HAVE GOTTEN ABOUT HALF OF MY SET DONE THIS WEEKEND. I HAVE A RELATIVELY SMALL SET, JUST A LITTLE OVER 200 COINS. I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT I WILL BE UPDATING MY SET AS I RECEIVE THEM FROM NOW ON IN THE FUTURE! MY RIGHT ARM IS NUMB FROM CLICKING, I THINK I HAVE CARPEL TUNNEL SYNDROME FORM THIS()!!

THE MUSTANG IS COMING ALONG WITHOUT SELLING MY TREASURED COINS HA!

I WAS ABLE TO BORROW THE MONEY ON A SHORT TERM LOAN TO PAY OFF MY EVEN SHORTER TERM LOANS WELL IT HAS BEEN THREE WEEKS SINCE I GOT MY DREAM CAR(NOT QUITE BUT CLOSE ENOUGH FOR NOW) A 1969 MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE. I WAS SO AFRAID I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO SELL SOME OF MY PRIZED COINS TO FUND THIS VENTURE/INVESTMENT. BUT THANKS TO MY WONDERFUL SISTER-IN-LAW, WHO LOANED ME ENOUGH MONEY TO PAY BACK MY BROTHER AND MY EX-BOSS, WITH A FOUR MONTH LOAN. I HAVE TO PAY HER BACK $1000.00/MONTH BUT THAT SURE BEA

Fairwell to part of my collection, but for a good reason!!

What do I do when i want to keep my coins but want something I have dreamed of as far back as I can remember? I have come across an opportunity to purchase a 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible, and I am torn between my collection and this car. I have done a little research on this car and have found that it is potentialy a very valuable automobile, but I will have to part with some of my coins to finance it. When i came upon the car the seller wanted $10,000.00 for it, after viewing it and research

NGC's NEW DETAILS HOLDER

I BELEIVE SOME PEOPLE ARE MISREADING THE IDEA BEHIND THIS NEW HOLDER- IT'S A BLESSING THEY ARE DOING THIS FOR US! FIND THE GOOD IN THE SITUATION, INSTEAD OF SEEKING OUT THE BAD, LIFE IS JUST EASIER THIS WAY, LESS STRESS EQAULS LONGER LIFE!! FIRST OFF. THEY ARE NOT ASSIGNING A NUMERIC GRADE TO PROBLEM COINS, THEY ARE ADDING A DETAILS GRADE: FOR EXAMPLE IF THE COIN WOULD GRADE AN XF40 IF THERE WASN'T ANY SURFACE ISSUES, THEY ARE CALLING IT AN XF ONLY, NO NUMERIC GRADE OF 45!

FINALLY!!!

I BROKE INTO THE ELITE COLLECTORS! I WAS ABLE TO GET BELOW THE 1000th SPOT IN THE RANKINGS TODAY. I AM SITTING IN THE LOW 980's. I AM SHOOTING FOR THE 700 MARK BY THE END OF 2009. WISH ME LUCK, LUCK AS IN HITTING THE LOTTERY. MY KIDS EAT UP MOST OF MY INCOME, NEXT TO THE EXPENSIVE WIFE I HAVE. GOD, I HOPE I NEVER GET DIVORCED, SHE IS GONNA TAKE ME TO THE CLEANERS. HER MOM ALWAYS TOLD HER TO GET MARRIED SO SHE COULD GET ALIMONY. UH-OH SHE CAUGHT ME WRITING THIS, NOW I'M IN TROUBLE, PRAY FOR ME!

I JUST WANT TO CRY-SERIOUSLY!!

MY 1999 SILVER PROOFS SUCKED!! WELL I PREVIOUSLY WROTE ABOUT SENDING IN TWO GEORGOUS 1999 SILVER PROOF SETS, I EXAMINED THEM UNDER 10X LOUPE AND SEEN NO VISABLE FLAWS WHAT SO EVER. I GOT THE GRADES TODAY, AND TO MY SURPRISE I RECEIVED ONLY 2 PF70UC GRADES, ONE GEORGIA AND ONE JERSEY, HOW COULD THAT BE? NOT ONE OF THE COMMON COINS GRADED OUT 70 AND ONLY 2 OF THE QUARTERS-I THINK THE GRADERS AT NGC ARE GETTING A BIT REDICULOUS, I GET BACK 11 MS70 1986 SILVER EAGLES FROM A SINGLE 19 COIN ROLL O

GONNA SEE HOW THEY DO- I HAVE 4 MORE TO GRADE! I AM PRINTING THE INVOICES FOR THIS SUBMISSION AS I TYPE. THE LAST TIME I SENT IN SOME 99 SILVER QUARTERS, ONLY THE DELAWARE CAME BACK AS A PF70UC. I AM AIMING AT THE WHOLE SET OF 70S NOW. I HAVE 4 MORE SETS TO SEND, I JUST DONT KNOW IF IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO SEND THEM ALL AT ONCE. I MEAN IF THEY GET LOST IN THE MAIL, THAT IS ON HELL OF A HIT I WOUKLD TAKE. I SENT IN 65 OF THE FIRST DAY ISSUE 09 LINCOLN CENTS "FORMATIVE YEARS" YESTERDAY. HAV

Suspense is killing me!

Waiting to see my beauties is getting the best of me! I am currently in Florida on a small vacation my wife and i took, to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary. I just found out yesterday that out of a 19 coin submission of 1986 ASE uncirculated coins that 11 of them came back as MS70 First Year Issue. This is absolutely wonderful. My delima is that i am so close to them yet so far away. I am hoping they arrive home about the same time i do, that would just be awesome. I am also waiting on 8 1999 sil

YOU HAVE TO READ THIS, ITS A MIRACLE SUBMISSION

GOD HAD TO SMILE UPON ME IN ORDER TO GET IT LIKE THIS I JUST CHECKED THE STATUS OF MY LATEST SUBMISSION. I SENT IN AN ORIGINAL ROLL OF 1986 U.S. SILVER AMERICAN EAGLES. LAST WEEK I GOT A CALL FORM NGC TELLING ME THAT THE ROLL OF EAGLES I SENT IN WAS ONE SHORT, SO I CALLED THE PERSON WHO I PURCHASED THEM FROM AND TOLD HIM THIS. HE SENT OUT THE 20TH ONE TO MAKE UP FOR THEM BEING SHORT. SO ANYWAY, I SENT THE 19 COIN ROLL TO NGC AND FIRST I DO BELEIVE THIS WAS RECORD TIME IN TURNAROUND, 9 DAYS. SE

WOW HOW LUCKY AM I- FROM THE CINCINNATI COIN SHOW TODAY

I GOT #1/100 TODAY, MY FATHER AND I, THE FIRST TIME FOR BOTH OF US, WENT TO A COIN SHOW. IT WAS THE "Central States Numismatic Society 70th Anniversary Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio".

THEY ALLOW YOU TO ENTER INTO A DRAWING FOR A COPY OF A INTAGLIO PRINT THEY HAVE PREPARED FOR THE OCCASION.
