I believe all the coins (cent through dollar) in the regular U.S. uncirculated mint sets started having the satin finish in 2005 (through...
After taking a closer look at the coins, I think they're not SMS. They're only a little less reflective than my SMS coins, but the edges are...
Thanks for the pics. However, it's been experience in looking through SMS sets that they're not all that shiny or "proof-like" as they are often...
I've dealt with Magpie at a show or two, and I definitely second that. I also tried Crown Hill (at the actual shop in Seattle), but found they...
Yeah, I've found a few things there so far. Other than Lacey Rare Coins, they're probably the closest decent coin shop, from what I've seen. I...
For people in the Seattle area, I was just curious which coin shops you prefer. I just got back into collecting a few months ago, so I'm just...
Does anyone know if Dansco is making a new page to handle this? If I remember correctly, my 8100 album has 12 holes for 2009 Lincolns, meaning...
I recently ordered some coins online, including 1965, 1966, and 1967 Kennedy half dollars. I already had the SMS versions of each one from...
Here's an update on this, for those who are interested. I submitted the coin to NGC for grading a couple weeks ago. I haven't gotten the coin...
I forgot to mention this one in my other post about my eBay auctions, but it doesn't really fit in with those anyway, so here it is. As I'm sure...
I currently have a few silver coins up on eBay that are from series I don't collect. There are all coins from my childhood collection that I...
I've noticed that calling a cent a penny seems to be a sensitive subject around here. I'm a newbie here, but either one seems fine to me. I...
Wow. That's a find. I still haven't come across one of those in a bank roll, let alone 800 of them. I still need to pick up a nice one for my...
If I'm not mistaken, the official release date for the log cabin cent was 2/12 (mainly the KY event), but the mint didn't start selling rolls...
By the way, thanks for the tip about eBay members being able to submit directly to NGC. While they don't really seem to advertise it on the NGC...
Well, I shipped the proof set off to NGC today to have the dime graded. This is my first grading submission ever. I'll let you guys know what...
I called NGC today and asked this question. They told me to send the whole proof set in and they'll just grade the dime. That's what I wanted to...
Yeah, calling them would probably be a good idea. I'd much rather let them crack it open then do it myself. I've cracked a bunch of proof sets...
So....having never sent coins in for grading before, what would be the best way to go about it? I looked into PCGS, NGC, and ANACS. It sounds...
This is what I've been thinking as well. The other coins in the proof set are common and are nothing special, so it seems to me that getting just...
