Hi, I have been collecting for 50+ years, also. But I am having a heck of a time learning how to get excellent coin pics like other members. Maybe we can learn some new things together. I just submitted my 25th Aniv set to NGC for grading. That is the first time I have ever sent anything in for grading myself. But I have bought numerous graded coins previously. I collect a little bit of all US coins, older stuff & modern stuff. Enjoy the wealth of info here.
