    Are you running it on a phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop?

    On desktop arena, you can get 10x done with Windows 7 than Windows 8. I hope you are at least running 8.1 update 1 and not the abomination 8.

    @gbroke I think I've mentioned this to you before: If you are an ANA member you have a FREE submitter account with NGC. Just take the 10 minutes to set it up. Cut your loses with PCGS and try NGC for future submissions. I would say the downside is no PCGS-TrueViews, but CT has you on the record as saying you don't like those anyway. Also you coins wont sell for as much, since there are so many PCGS-only fanboys.

    Dont get discouraged with this hobby, and dont stop submitting coins. Your access to toned raw material is very impressive, so alot of stunners come across your desk that you picked up for relatively cheap. If you sold TPG coins, your customer base would grow tremendously.

    I use it on the desktop windows 8.1 I have never had any problems with it. I had windows 7 on my old computer and I think that windows 8 is at least 3x as good.

    More power to you. I deal with tech issues all day long, and I don't know of anyone else who has ever said they prefer windows 8. I am happy some people like it. I am a big MS fan, so I am hoping Win 9 will impress me.

    Rancid meat, rancid meat, rancid meat, from the grocery store to the street!

    Actually I was reading about toxic food today so I guess it got to my head.

    Sue me? Nah, you know a certain level of madness goes hand in hand with being a numismatist. Doing/examining specimens, pictures and auctions all day can make one a bit crazy at times. It's all in good fun. Coin Talk is a great site and resource for opinions and information. I got no beef with them (fresh or rancid), get it?

    Hardly. Unix and OSX are the only reasonably "safe" operating systems, due t the kernel structure, and the fact that 90% of the world doesn't use them. Windows is inherently insecure.

    Didn't look at this thread until today. But for what it's worth, I agree with the TPG opinion on the first 5 coins posted. On the other 3, I do not.

    torontokuba Thread Crapper & Hijacker, TP please.

    For what it's worth, where do you see the cleaning on the Kennedy Half? Do you have better photos or have you seen that coin in hand? I'm surprised, judging solely on the photos provided.

    I'm just going by the pics and how I interpret them. Fields in front of the face is where I see traces of it.

    You thinkin backwards here ? I agreed with the problems coins. I disagreed with the graded coins. The seated half, looks like traces of cleaning to me so I would not have graded it. The two nickels, I would not grade either that high.

    Either you have absolutely zero experience with Jefferson nickels, or your meds expired.
