    This has always turned me away from those holders. And to think some pay way up for rattlers with some coins turned even upside down !

    Wait a second, I can access it. Why can't NGC ?

    Well done Roger ! Congrats.

    Too many coins like these were available with no real attrition. Just try to find nice gem 1936 proof coins with mintages around 3900. These are always expensive and always in demand. If you can find a '36 Brilliant proof cent without corrosion spots you have found a rare coin !

    I was told 10 days for my reholder submission.

    Outside the political aspect to me it just means print more money, run away inflation and goodbye to your retirement savings. Might be that the only thing of value I have left is my family and my coins.

    We have a Senator who voted yes to recent spending bills. He will be toast on his next time around

    Very attractive for MS 60 dont you think

    I own quite a few Star coins. However I prefer my Star coin to have superior eye appeal. Not just ALMOST the next grade or ALMOST Ultra Cameo as these are nothing more than value add ons at best.

    NGC Price Guide, PCGS Price Guide, Numismedia Fair Market Value, Grey Sheet, I consider all of these FMV although auction prices are also a reasonable idea of value. But these listings are all different for any one coin ! So really its only somewhat relative to me. It's the actual coin that I look at compared to others I have viewed.

    Guess that makes 2 of us. Looks 62 or 63 to me. Really need it in hand though.

    That is one of the most rediculous statements I've ever heard coming from somebody who should know better. C'mon man after seeing what happens to red coppers in two by twos and observing a collector racing to shovel up his Peace Dollars after dropping his Dansco on the concrete floor at a local show, I'm floored at your 'never slab' kind of mentality. I used to have the same attitude I confess but I've since moved on.

    Excellent discussion topic as I am looking to purchase a Type 1 Buffalo to go with my short set as a type coin comparison. I could only hope to find a fully struck T1 with that surface texture like the one posted earlier.
  14. numisport
    Man you've got good taste. I love the surface texture and strike on those 13s

    Of course you can buy slabbed coins and crack them out. Makes sense doesn't it. Without slabs Mr. Mishlers' proofs are certainly showing environmental damage though still appealing I'm sure. I take a slab for what it was intended to be. That would be an anti tampering device first then a protective device next and on down the list of its benefits you can go. Then go ahead if you want to handle your coins crack them out, TPGs would love to regrade them when the next generation gets hold of them.

    If this were a 1936 Brilliaant proof it would be Pf 65 RB. Serious have you ever tried to find a nice accurately graded '36 proof Lincoln ?
  17. numisport
    Mine is Pf 68 RD Cameo with much nicer eye appeal for less money.

    Costs could be offset somewhat if one cent coins were eliminated. Every time I handle change I just laugh when I see pennies.

    Once a CAC coin, always a CAC coin. Really doesn't need the sticker if the number stays the same. By the way I have had my reholdered coins restickered [in early days] for free. However the key here is that basic tier coins may never be stickered again.
  20. numisport
    Given the cost of certification and slabbing I think a full explanation of reasoning is warranted. For even a smaller fee at CAC I could get an explanation from John Albanese if he didn't like the coin.

    Very sad news and we've lost a great man. So sorry to hear this although I knew he was sick.

    Is that anything similar to todays asking price for let's say fuel one price cash and another price for credit ? After all everything local is paid in dollars.
  23. numisport
    Isn't that how it works now ? Law makers spend huuuuge amouts of money that doesn't exist, print money to cover it then sell their assets at inflated prices and die wealthy only to pass along their bounty to the next generation who'll do it again to us sorry pawns because we just don't care.

    Do you have plans to publish your Die work ?

    You might recognize the flip side.
