About Me
I've collected coins since age 8. If i had the money I'd be an everything collector like Eliasberg or Hansen, but that's ok, and so far I've been very thankful that I can afford to collect high quality Lincoln Cents and other mint state coins from 1934-date.

  • Too bad these groups have all gone to the crickets. This arrived today after a short layaway. I bid $8500 on it as a pcgs ms67 cac and got outbid, and now got it as an ngc ms68 for about $6500. Other than a 32-d or 32-s it's hard to think of a single instance of a Washington quarter more preferable. Perhaps the best 34-d? 55-d? Not sure. These late D mints are just super tough with nice luster and nice surfaces. Actually, it's funny, in ngc's registry point system only the two 32-d in (pcgs) ms66 are more points than this coin, so this is literally the top scoring coin in an ngc holder.

  • Well, I couldn't beat Elite in the state quarter set, so I just went ahead and beat him in the $20 Saint set. Or at least got listed above him with 0 coins. #bug

  • Anybody have these 4 state quarters in pcgs ms67 for sale/trade? NY-p, AL-p, NV-d, WY-d. They are not particularly tough ones so I don't want to pay a lot but it would help finish a set. Thanks!

  • I did "auto create" sets to see if it added to my total set points. It did. I guess that's one way to count or accumulate points but I didn't really intend to form date sets and w varieties sets. Of course some sets aren't scored yet and so I assume no points are accumulated for those. I went way ahead on the points leaderboard, but I also think that's a mistake anyway as Mountain (aka LostMountainMan) has about as many coins as the rest of us combined! Now that's a true mountain of slabs!

  • These are just my duplicates! I have about 10 more OGH Kennedys as my primary coin. It would be fun (and a challenge) to do an OGH set (until just 1997 of course).

  • Did pcgs get rid of public Friday's or something like that? Is there any way to drop submissions off if you happen to be in the area, rather than mail them? (sorry if this is not the appropriate group to post in, I don't see a better one).

  • What would be cool is an alternate scoring that bases your score on the value differences between your guesses and the actual grades. A lot of these au58 vs ms62 calls would matter a lot less, while on the other hand just being a + off can mean the difference between an expensive low pop top pop vs a more common coin. Afterall "market grading" is supposedly what is practiced by pcgs.
