  1. I have a 2014 S Kennedy Early Release PF70 Ultra Cameo 2hich I sold and posted but on arrival the holderwas swollen, nkt cracked but slightly bulbous...what could have caused it, the coin is fine, still a pf70uc but the case over the obverse and reverse feels bulbous, not going beyond the framed raised edge but I can feel the swelling..what caused it? and could it effect tye coin at any point?.
  2. I just messaged my hairdresser for her son to join a few days ago, $13 ain't bad to see if he likes it, i said id pay for it towards her next tip if she wanted.
  3. Can't knock appreciation, congrats on the nomination, you must be helping a lot morebpeople then you thought.
  4. That's a shame, I'd have loved to get the last and first sets together in mint or near mint.
  5. My day times are often spent in my LCS and when a Newby comes in I start my education of while the owner does his business, he don't mind and I can educate another Newby like I once was.
  6. OK. My only real time out, normally I used to go to the movies but when I moved to the other end of tgevstates I just stopped, used to do 100-150 movies a year..benefits of being disabled, every days a holiday..lol.
  7. I'll try that..cos it does seem like a collection not utilized for your common grader like myself, a double grade of two coins...as long as they both meet the same grade it should be ok.
  8. I always tip my hairdresser in coins, I try to keep their value to $20 or so, which is a heafty tip as my haircut is only $25...lol..im an easy cut what can I say?. Anyway, I tip her usually one coin because her son who was 8 years old was talking to her and she mentioned me being a coin collector and he was interested, so I offerred her one day did she want her $20 tip or a 1 oz eagle, this was back when an eagle was $20 to buy...she said the eagle as I showed her it at the time. The next month a gave her a britannia, then a maple leaf, always in hard plastic holders, the next months it was modern 1 ounce silver coins until Christmas when I gave her a new Redbook and 'grading your coins' book for her son, now I give her historical coins, Indian head, 1943 war type set, morgan, peace dollar, hobo nickel etc, he now needs a large shelf putting up for the coins...I have family but they will get my choicest coins, these coins I give to the hairdresser are bought usually the week of...but I was wondering if any of you give back in some way to stop this hobby becoming the stamp collecting of the future..saying that I do love a nice penny red or black.lol.
  9. I have a 1909s that is graded an au55 and wanted to get the same grade 1909s vdb and put them in the same slab, thinking of doing the same with the standing liberty 1917 type 1 and 2 but don't know if NGC offers this, there does seem to be a demand for it id think for transition coins....1798 small and large eagle and the sweet 1921 morgan and peace dollar with of course others.
  10. Is this a double die reverse, i keep seeing it on an ngc graded peace dollar but is it?, your view?
  11. I'm busy-bee-company, usually got some stuff for sale, baseball cards,coins, complete sets, graded etc.
  12. Oh right...I'll take a picture tomorrow, they all locked up for tonight now..the 1945 mercury dime got this gnarly tank tracks mark across it but apart from that I think it might be a full barrel, I know thebfront is very good.
  13. My microscope has 4 lights which can distort pictures but here goes...these are pictures of the main VAM areas.
  14. Thanks guys...always looking at my coins under the microscope eventually...lol.
