what do you want to see? im really not a very computer techy person but im sure i figure out something.

 

Nathanscoins,

It sounds like a great experiment! If you could post a list of the coins submitted, the original TPG and grade, and the subsequent TPG and grade from the re-grading, that would be very very enlightening. I see many NTC and PCI coins around that I've avoided on principle [not being the best grader in the world] and I'd love to know what I'm missing out on.

Thanks for all the work you put into this.

 

^ what he said.

 

Ok im still waiting to get the coins i sent to PCGS that where in NTC slabs. That will be the final test of me cracking open my slabs because its so much cheaper to use NTC. Almost half if your doing it at there lowest cost and slowest turn around time.

As for my reasons for this. I have a very large vast collection with many Choice type coins that i have put together over many many years. I just want to know im doing right and that when i kick, off which the DRs are telling me will be some time in the next 10 to 15 years, my Wifey will be able to take care of my boy with out haveing to worry about knowing how to grade them her self. I myself have no doughts in my personal grading. But shes another story. She pretty much hate when i talk about coins. lol I keep telling her ITS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD. But ehh what can ya do.

THE LIST OF DATE type's and grade's. As you can see not alot of differance.

1878 CC Morgan PCGS MS64 NTC same
1884 O Morgan PCGS MS63 NTC same
1880 O Morgan PCGS MS64 NTC same
1888 O Morgan PCGS MS64 NTC same
1900 O Morgan PCGS MS63 NTC same
1902 - P- Morgan PCGS MS63 NTC same
1904 - P- Morgan PCGS MS64 NTC same
1904 - P- Morgan PCGS MS63 NTC same
1938 D Buffalo PCGS MS63 NTC MS64
1883 no cent Victory Nick, PCGS MS62 NTC MS61

It seems pretty safe to say that you can send your Morgans to JUST about anyone and get it right.

This is the list of the ten PCGS i cracked open and now are in NTC slabs. I choice these because i didnt want to big of a risk. I made sure they where all choice. I have to admit the lower grade coins might see a differance, im working on the paper work for other orders for ANACS and for ICG right now, but this time aroud im only useing 4 coins that where in the old ANACS slabs and sending them to ICG. Im going to keep that order in the ICG slabs, I like them. they also fit nicly into the boxs and stack well.

THe Goldies I sent to PCGS a while back where 7 Common date $10 Eagles and 3 Commen date double Eagles. NGC marked MS61 and two MS62. I have over 300 slabbed coins and A LOT of raw coins. PLease dont ask me where i live. lol ot to mention MOST all the slabs are in a safedeposit box's. They safer that way. Pls the yearly insurance is alot cheaper sitting in my a bank.

Now RICK??? What info do you want? Ill try and do my best getting it to you.

ALSO can some one give me some help here? I cant get a clear scan of my coins once they are slabbed its just a blur cant even read the freaking writing.

 

Well for your camera use either the micro setting or if you don't have that take a large magnifying glass and hold it infront of the camera---keep moving the camear back and forth till you see it getting clear---when you see that take the photo and see how it turns out.

NTC is known for not being good at lableing the cleaned coins they get as cleaned--they just grade them as normal...

Then I would NEVER use another grading company other than NGC or PCGS or ANACS or ICG---if she would have to sell the coins to live I'm amost 100% sure that she will get about 50% of the true value of the coin---dealers and collectors will NOT give what the coin is valued at when in another slab---now for collectors like yourself and some of us that know that you can find a good coin in an off brand slab we don't do that--we pay what the coin is worth but most of the time you would do your wife more of a service by leaving them raw then sending them to NTC or some other place.

Speedy

 

Exactly.

 

Nathan, that was what I was looking for.

To be honest, I'm not surprised by that at all.

 

im not either. it was more something i wanted to talk about. I have to addmit that i rather enjoy having place talk about coins. As im sure most of you can tell its something that has been a long time hobby of mine. you guys rock.

 

Great!

When would you like to start?

 

I dont think I have much to say to that then, other then I agree.
