NGC REGISTRY NO LONGER TO ACCEPT PCGS COINS?

NGC REGISTRY NO LONGER TO ACCEPT PCGS COINS? Maybe it's just that I haven't looked hard enough but I haven't seen much of a reaction to Marc's Saltzberg's announcement a few weeks ago that, beginning in January, the NGC will no longer accept coins graded by PCGS in their Registry. I think it's an atrocious idea---a disservice to collectors and injurious to NGC itself. The switch may not mean much to collectors of modern and some foreign sets, but it will effectively wipe out active Registry

Who like this new e-Bay feature on registry sets??

e-Bay feature Ask me, the new e-Bay "feature" on the right hand side of registry set pages is an unnecessary irritant. Takes forever to load, the page "moves" while you're trying to click onto a specific coin in a set, if you accidentally pass your mouse over a "Buy it Now," the e-Bay display stays there, etc. All-in-all this feature causes delays while looking at registry sets and detracts from the enjoyment. It's not as if there is a wonderland of coins for sale either. Most/all of the tim

GRADING OPINIONS? 1937D BUFFALO 3-LEG 5C

GRADING OPINIONS? 1937D BUFFALO 3-LEG 5C NICKELS AREN'T MY THING, BUT I SNAPPED UP THIS THIS 1937D 3-LEG 5C FOR REAL SHORT MONEY. GOT 61, THEN 62 TWICE FROM PCGS. I SAW 63, BUT MAYBE WISHFUL THINKING? ANY THOUGHTS FROM FOLKS WHO KNOW BUFFALOS? To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added below.

1920S FH Standing Liberty Quarter

Looking for grading opinions Take a look at this 1920S SLQ. I've cracked it out and sent it to PCGS for grading a three times and got different grades back each time. Full head for sure (came back FH each time)---the head is beast for the issue---so not concerned with that, just want some opinions as to numeric grade. Not going to say what I think it is/should be. Just looking for a few opinions. Thanks !!! To see old comments for this Journal entry, click here. New comments can be added

Recent upgrades

Mercury and Barber dimes At all of the bigger shows (ANA, FUN, etc.), Mark Saltzberg does collectors a service by giving his opinion on coins free-of-charge. Never pass up the chance to have him look at coins I think have a chance at upgrade. An almost sure thing for 68FB in my mind was a 1935 Mercury I'd bought in a third-world slab. Sure enough, Mark saw 68*FB in it. Image attached. At FUN a few weeks ago, I got a surprise when 67+FB came out of nowhere on a '40S Mercury. Image attached. An
