Glad you liked Penny's thread based on a post I made about "Where have all the Deals Gone" which as mentioned was the main inspiration behind her thread and I'm sure other things. She's a great person and someone who I think you should deal with next time you want a nice lustrous 1909-s vdb

I don't care about a coin or note's "value" or material composition. I care about what it is, and it's place in history!

I thought I would add this post to my blog as I recount my 10 oldest coins, and 5 oldest US coins, as of 10/15/09. It might be interesting to see how that changes throughout the years!

Well, I went and did something crazy. Totally out of character for me.
I joined the NGC registry.
Now, if anybody has been following my posts for the past 15 months, it should be fairly obvious that I'm not a big fan of graded coins. That hasn't, and likely won't, change. And, in fact, the only coin that I have that is graded is a coin from a company that doesn't even rate onto NGC's registry!
But...Odds are, I WILL end up with a graded coin or note at...

Here's a topic that I've been thinking about for a while. NCLTs, or, Non-Circulating Legal Tender. For some reason, I just can't get all that interested in them. I don't really know why...they are perfectly viable options for collecting. It's not like I dislike the designs.
When I think about coins, which is often, as I have a lot of time on my hands
it's not NCLT's. I'm thinking about the coins that actually circulated and it is those I want to add to my collection!

If anybody ever actually reads this, perhaps this will be a little controversial. That is not my intent, but it might be...so please bear with me (that is, IF anybody ever reads this! )
Now obviously, grading does have some big advantages, especially in this day and age, with counterfits so prevalent. A graded coin is, most of the time, sure to be genuine. Sure, some may slip through the cracks, and there are even fake slabs out there now, but that is by far not the norm. So that,...

Wow, I filled the 10,000 character limit in the first post! I could write a book, if anyone actually wanted to read what I posted!
On another currency topic, *Star Notes*! These fascinate me. I don't know why, but they do, and based on the following they have, I am not the only one. Maybe it's because they are different from the norm. Maybe because another of my many interests is astronomy. Maybe, subliminally, it's interesting to have something that the government clearly admits making...
