About this journal

Time to switch gears.  Focusing on buying some investment property and need some capital. I haven't really added much

to my coin collection in awhile either.  I decided all my SAC, Presidential dollars and Silver Eagles must go.  If anyone is

interested, please look at my sets and let me know what tweaks your interest.  I am not done being part of this society just

clearing house... :)

2010 NGC Silver Eagles MS70

I found a place still taking orders online for $99 After watching the activity on Ebay on the 2010 Silver Eagles and others reporting the poor quality and the USMint limiting production... its hard to get a good feeling just what the real situation could be. I broke down and ordered one from the very company that advertises on our webpage here. http://www.moderncoinmart.com Their site said they sold out right away but are expecting more for delivery later this week.

2010 Buchanan Business Strike President

Could this be the key date/President for the series??? With the NGC census updated today, I am quite surprised with the low population that was graded for this president. Has some dealers stopped grading the presidents already? Has the collector walked away from the series this soon? I believe it is just a lull before Lincoln dollar is released then watch everyone's brother hop on board if they never collect another president. I will make my prediction now and say that the Buchanan dolla

2010 Buchanan First Day Issue Submission

WOW....one MS68!! After 2 boxes of Buchanan "D" dollars, I was only able to submit eight "D"s. I felt I had one MS67. Out of 12 rolls of "P" dollars, I submitted eight of these as well. I felt I had a good chance of three MS67. I was right on both counts. one Buchanan D MS67 FDI three Buchanan P MS67 FDI but...wait for it....I found my first "P" MS68 FDI.....YES! I want to thank Josh for his help with the "P" rolls. Good luck to everyone that collects the Presidents. To see ol

2010 P Sacagawea Great Law of Peace Dollar Reverse Error

What would you call this error? I just received two $250 boxes of SAC 2010 dollars. I have only gone through a few rolls and already found 6 of these error coins on the reverse. May not be worth much but sure is fun when you find something new! To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

1987 P Jefferson Nickel MS67 NGC MS 67 6FS - TOP POP!!

You just never know when it will happen! Here is another example of fishing for one and finding another instead. I bid on two Mint sets on Ebay a few weeks back and really was just interested in the 1981 Mint Set for the SBA's. The other set was a 1987. I went okay.....some more change for the bank later... I was disappointed with the 1981 set and I glanced at the 1987 and you just know when you find a six full step nickel and having it be a MS67 is a miracle. The observe does have a Proo

2010 Franklin Pierce Dollars FDI

I have been blessed with the best FDI submission...ever! Most FDI submissions I end up rather disappointed with the results or didn't even bother sending any dollars in for FDI because of the condition that the Presidents have been in lately. I just got my results back for the Pierce dollars...and my eyes got wide and my jaw dropped. 4 - P MS67 FDI 3 - D MS67 FDI 6 - P MS66 FDI 7 - D MS66 FDI 1 - D MS65 FDI I do need to thank a dealer that assist me at times getting some rolls.

In search of high grade SBA's

Would you believe a MS67 from a US Mint set? One would think that all the 79'-81' Mint Sets have been searched over and sold and searched over again. It was just by chance I picked a Ebay seller with low Feedback numbers as one that doesn't sell that much or is fairly new at Ebay. I only paid $8.00 plus shipping. As soon as I looked thru my 16x piece, I suspected the 1981D was a MS67. I even thought the 1981S was a MS66. I was half right, the 1981D is a MS67. Just got the results back fr

Response to Poorly graded coins

Quality Control starts with every Submitter!!! I, too, agree that there are far too many modern coins with First Day Issue that should not have been graded that well. Most dealers that send in bulk to NGC & PCGS never see the coins until they come back graded and even then never look at them let alone inspect the grade given. I have, on more than one occassion, returned a coin to a dealer because it does not meet the grading standards. I need to be proud of the coins I possess and knowi

Commemorative Update

Six out of Six! I wrote before that I sent in 2 of the Disabled Veteran Proofs and 4 of the Uncirculated for grading. Lisa was so nice to let me know the status. ALL 70's!! I never had 100% before....either I got lucky or my eyes are not as bad as I believed! Yeeeehaw!

2010 D Fillmore Edge Error

Another Partial Missing Edge Lettering Dollar I have been fortunate to find three partial missing edge lettering dollar errors since the Presidential dollar series began. I never did find any total blank edge like the Washingtons though. I don't collect error coins per se but I am rather curious about the collectors that do. Is it really that valuable to have a modern day error coin like the missing edge? Not that I am not complaining though since they do tend to bring in a few bucks to u

What brings joy and satisfaction to a coin collector?

Thrill of the hunt Many things that an average coin collector receives that a corporation and deep pockets can't. That thrill going thru rolls of coins you just got from your local bank. That anticipation of finding that unique error or that near perfect strike. I recently purchased a original bank wrapped 1954 S quarter roll. That excitement knowing you were the first one ever to lay eyes on those coins in over 55 years. The awe and wonder of those coins of the luster and shine. Findin

It was fun while it lasted.

Corporate Money has no place in these personal registries It was fun being No 1 in the Presidential Business Strike set while it lasted. I take pride that I am just a small collector with small resources to be Number 1 for even a year. I only will have NGC slabbed coins in the presidential registry because this is a NGC website. Until PCGS allows NGC coins in their sets, they should be ban from this site as well. I bet over half the awards went to collectors that have over half their collec

A Strange but interesting Error

A SAC star is born... I found this error on a 2009 P SAC dollar from a bank roll. I don't collect errors unless it a true variety from NGC. I know this will be a one of a kind indeed. This can be seen with the naked eye as well. The question I have how would the "star" get there and where would it have come from. It looks larger than the stars on the edge. Would this be considered a "Die Clash"? There are two parallel lines that are near this star as well but does not show up on the pictu

1968 S PF 69* CAMEO Nickel

I got this one for a song! Sometimes you just get lucky on Ebay. There was very little action on this 1968 S PF 69* CAMEO Nickel. The seller never even mentioned it was a Star Designated but it clearly was in the picture. So I crossed my fingers and bid on it hoping it was a Star. When it was all over with..I purchased it for a mere $20. I am real surprised though that it doesn't have more registry points. Only 5 exists in that grade with a Star. Does anyone know what the true value might

2009 Registry Awards

Once again...Changes need to happen here!! Here we are a month before the close of all the registries to be honored as the best in all categories. Most take it serious and take pride in their sets and being honored as having the best set. However, when PCGS coins are allowed in a NGC Collectors Society and are NOT allowed to have NGC coins on the PCGS site, things need to CHANGE! NGC has never inspected any PCGS coin that reside in any registry set yet they are accepted as equals without

A Long and Winding Road Indeed

Finally found that MS67!! Ever get a hunch that there has to be a MS67 but trying to find it is another thing all together. I have been searching box after box of the Harrison "D" dollars. There was only four FDI MS67 and they were all found by one person but there was never a business strike "D" MS67. After $10,000 (or more) I finally got a box that most looked better than all the other boxes and it was just pure luck I ever even got that box. I asked my local bank to order another box of

Presidental sets

1000 hit milestone Still number 1....for now. I know its more important where you rank at beginning of the year. For now...I am thankful I least held that position for awhile. With that being said, I know I will have the best NGC graded presidents in the registry. Some still have made no effort to fill the slots with any NGC. I have said before....any slot filled with PCGS graded coins especially when there are NGC coins available. I have a different set with just FDI PCGS but after 200

Error coins and NGC

Weak Edges and 2009 Lincoln pennies I know I had emailed NGC earlier with no response if they were going to recognize either the weak edges of the 2009 SAC's or Prezs and any of the doubled dies of the 2009 Lincoln pennies. I see there was a pair of weak edges of the 2009 SAC's on FeeBay from NGC. Those are the only two I have ever seen, all the rest are graded from PCGS. So far, No doubled dies from the 2009 Lincoln pennies from either one thus far. The question I have to all you Societ

Boxes of Kennedy Halves

Would you believe finding Franklins or Walking Liberties?? I tend to order 2 or 3 boxes of half dollars from my local bank every week. It seems that the silver ones have dried up for now. I did mention that in the last month or so I found two Franklins in one box. That alone I was really surprised but... wait for it... The following week I found two Walking Liberties in one box...I could hardly believe it. Yes, they were the common dates but still one would think they all would have be

1995 D Kennedy Half Dollar Struck Thru Error

Quite the Error Find! Going through another box of circulated half dollars and finding another 13 - 40% Silver Kennedy Halves, I just happened to glance at one of the roll ends that caught my eye for the date. I find this amazing that this Struck Thru Error which is quite the error made it to circulated rolls. Course if it had not been at the end of the roll face up, I, too, would have not found it either. Makes you wonder what else is sitting in a box waiting in some vault to be discovere

Boxes of Circulated Kennedy Halves

Plenty of 40% Silver halves still can be found. Recently I have been getting $500 boxes of Half Dollar rolls to search for silver halves. Once in a great while, I find a 90% silver Kennedy but most boxes usually have 5-6 halves that are 40% silver. Just recently I came across a box with 50 silver halves and of those two were 90% silver. I was like winning a small lottery of sorts. Today, I found two Franklin 90% silver halves...one would think that all of been found. Its a relaxing way to

Lincoln LP2 - 2 roll set Shipped

Lincoln LP2 - 2 roll set Shipped I can not hardly believe it....Take a look!   Product Name Quantity Price (each) Total Item Status Cancel   2009 LINCOLN 2-ROLL SET "FORMATIVE YRS" 5 $8.95 $44.75 5 units shipped on 05/22/2009   Also, I was Number One for a few months on the Presidential Mint Dollars until yesterday....I still think an all or almost all NGC set should count higher than someone just using PCGS that tends to overgrade their presidential dollars.

Waiting on the Lincoln 2-roll penny set from the US Mint

Ordered within 3 days of release... The wait is killing me here. I first didn't really have the desire to order any of the 2-roll Lincoln penny sets but changed my mind on 3/16 and my order has been "In stock and reserved" for over a week now and can't even cancel it if I wanted to. I called the Mint and they said the order is still valid and is waiting to be shipped.....waiting for what??....     2009 LINCOLN PROOF SILVER DLR 5 $37.95 $189.75 In stock and reserved 2009 L
