For the mo. I have decided to keep my American TPGed coins entombed.

CGS coins that I bought as is are all coming off their capsules only coins I sent for grading personally are still CGS slabbed.

I love all the G5 coins! I've still got my heart set on acquiring the entire reign (one day)! I've had around half of them at any one time...I'd certainly be happy with that one! :)

Nice, but the only gripe I have is that I do wish the grading companies would get them straight in the slabs. Nothing worse than encasing them lopsided. Of course if you intend to crack it out.....

Just saw on another forum the suggestion that holding a running electric toothbrush against the slab will cause the coin to rotate.

Really? Wow! Makes me even more convinced that slabs are not for me! :)

Everytime we took the boat up the canal, the coins would be spinning in their sockets like a clock! That's the trouble with a big old vintage 'thumper' in the engine room! :rolleyes:

Hi prax.

Why do you remove the ones bought and leave the ones you sent. Is it just doubts you have with the grading or the ones you sent are the best ones ?

Pete,

I know the grades or quality of the coins that I sent. I know that leaving the coins slabbed will at least protect them from some degree of env/accidental damage (my sole reason for grading). Further I spent lots of money having them graded.

With ones I acquired CGS slabbed I noticed that there was not a level of inconsistency gradewise. I wont go into detail on a public forum as it can impact someone's biz. I can send you a pm with specifics.

Regards,

P

3 weeks and only one coin worth adding

Good material is getting far too scarce and what's coming to the market is seldom priced realistically.

Looks like a seller's market Pete as far as the pennies are concerned. Too many buyers and hardly anything around ..... ummm me getting ideas :)

How much did you pay for it Prax?

That one's top of my list at the moment, at least that's one less bidder to worry about.. ;)

The 1904 cost me £100 it was an upgrade on my NGC MS 63 RB, which I swapped for a 1906 NGC 64 RB

You don't have to worry about me ;) I won't be bidding on anymore 1904s, unless the market churns out a 65+ RB or 64 RD :P
