  1. Must admit, if you think that a nats pubic hairs width over a tooth is going to attract a premium then you should really go and certify yourself today.
  2. Well just bought myself an 1878 Carson City Morgan Dollar. I notice by the NGC site you listed here generic that there seems to be several different types of these. Maybe you or Bob can Check it out for me when it arrives and Tell me which it is

    Cgs Slabbed Penny.

    Yes i can't See how they'll get repeat Business if they're now charging more for a longer turnaround. Usually its the other Way around, they Charge more for a QUICKER turnaround. Stupid business sense in my eyes, even PCGS Paris will send your coins back in 14 days at a cost of €30 i think it is, so a cheaper and quicker alternative. I think CGS have Shot themselves in the foot with their new tarif and 90 Day turnaround. I was going to slab a few more but have now given up on that idea, it wouöd have to be a serious rarity for me to go to CGS now

    Cgs Slabbed Penny.

    I would echo Benny's advice, I can't find it on their site with or without the W ... they may be busy at the mo with few staff and an upcoming auction (not to mention my coins to completely complete!), but they will take the call and answer your question!And how Long has that been now since you Sent them in and then from finalisied grade Status?

    CGS Labels start with 000 normally, but as Declan says, a picture of the slab and UIN would help

  9. As a Facebook member this Little Story came my way. Apparently this was true, so i've copied and pasted the whole Thing for you to enjoy. THIS IS BRILLIANT!! This got the whole of Sydney laughing. Read it and you'll see why! Just imagine sitting in traffic on your way to work and hearing this. Many Sydney folks DID hear this on the FOX FM morning show in Sydney. The DJs play a game where they award winners great prizes. The game is called 'Mate Match'. The DJs call someone at work and ask if they are married or seriously involved with someone. If the contestant answers'yes',he or she is then asked 3 random yet highly personal questions. The person is also asked to divulge the name of their partner with (phone number) for verification. If their partner answers those same three questions correctly, they both win the prize. One particular game, however, several months ago made the Harbour City drop to its knees with laughter and is possibly the funniest thing you've heard yet. Anyway, here's how it all went down: DJ: 'Hey! This is Ed on FOX-FM. Have you ever heard of 'Mate Match'?' Contestant: (laughing) 'Yes, I have.' DJ: 'Great! Then you know we're giving away a trip to the Gold Coast if you win. What is your name? First only please.' Contestant: 'Brian.' DJ: 'Brian, are you married or what?' Brian: (laughing nervously) 'Yes, I am married.' DJ: 'Thank you. Now, what is your wife's name? First only please.' Brian: 'Sara.' DJ: 'Is Sara at work, Brian?' Brian: 'She is gonna kill me.' DJ: 'Stay with me here, Brian! Is she at work?' Brian: (laughing) 'Yes, she's at work.' DJ: 'Okay, first question - when was the last time you had sex?' Brian: 'About 8 o'clock this morning.' DJ: 'Atta boy, Brian.' Brian: (laughing sheepishly) 'Well...' DJ: 'Question #2 - How long did it last?' Brian: 'About 10 minutes.' DJ: 'Wow! You really want that trip, huh? No one would ever have said that if a trip wasn't at stake.' Brian: 'Yeah, that trip sure would be nice.' DJ: 'Okay. Final question. Where did you have sex at 8 o'clock this morning? Brian: (laughing hard) 'I, ummm, I, well...' DJ: 'This sounds good, Brian. Where was it at?' Brian: 'Not that it was all that great, but her mum is staying with us for couple of weeks...' DJ: 'Uh huh...' Brian: '...and the Mother-In-Law was in the shower at the time.' DJ: 'Atta boy, Brian.' Brian: 'On the kitchen table.' DJ: 'Not that great?? That is more adventure than the previous hundred times I've done it. Okay folks, I will put Brian on hold, get his wife's work number and call her up. You listen to this.' [3 minutes of commercials follow. ] DJ: 'Okay audience; let's call Sarah, shall we?' (Touch tones.....ringing....) Clerk: 'Kinkos.' DJ: 'Hey, is Sarah around there somewhere?' Clerk: 'This is she.' DJ: 'Sarah, this is Ed with FOX-FM. We are live on the air right now and I've been talking with Brian for a couple of hours now.' Sarah: (laughing) 'A couple of hours?' DJ: 'Well, a while now. He is on the line with us. Brian knows not to give any answers away or you'll lose. Sooooooo... do you know the rules of 'Mate Match'?' Sarah: 'No.' DJ: 'Good!' Brian: (laughing) Sarah: (laughing) 'Brian, what the hell are you up to?' Brian: (laughing) 'Just answer his questions honestly, okay? Be completely honest.' DJ: 'Yeah yeah yeah. Sure. Now, I will ask you 3 questions, Sarah. If your answers match Brian's answers, then the both of you will be off to the Gold Coast for 5 days on us. Sarah: (laughing) 'Yes.' DJ: 'Alright. When did you last have sex, Sarah?' Sarah: 'Oh God, Brian....uh, this morning before Brian went to work.' DJ: 'What time?' Sarah: 'Around 8 this morning.' DJ: 'Very good. Next question. How long did it last?' Sarah: '12, 15 minutes maybe.' DJ: 'Hmmmm. That's close enough. I am sure she is trying to protect is manhood. We've got one last question, Sarah. You are one question away from a trip to the Gold Coast. Are you ready?' Sarah: (laughing) 'Yes.' DJ: 'Where did you have it?' Sarah: 'OH MY GOD, BRIAN!! You didn't tell them that did you?' Brian: 'Just tell him, honey.' DJ: 'What is bothering you so much, Sarah?' Sarah: 'Well...' DJ: Come on Sarah.....where did you have it? Sarah: 'Up the arse.....' They had to call an ambulance for the DJ he thought he was going to have a heart attack, he could not stop laughing. Apparently there was an unusually high call out of the Sydney Police just after this conversation, for minor traffic collisions.
  10. Spink is only one of a multitude of books you'll need if you're about to start collecting, so depending on what you Intendant to collect there will be books for that also. You should also get ESC (English Silver Coinage) You might want to wait until December now for Spink, the 2014 edition will be due out then
  11. All coins are High priced to ANY buyer Peter. Those Rainbow Morgans are silly money for a coin that has a Little bit of colour and were minted in millions. A proof with less than a 1000 mintage compared to a business strike mintage is in my eyes quite cheap at $3000
  12. I picked up a few proof Packs Stuart from various cointries. The one that mystified me was 3 belgian proof 500 Francs selling for £67 i have another pack which i listed yesterday, but to make a few £s here and there i don't think sticking to just British coinage will ever make me a millionaire and so picklng up some foreign stuff along the way.I won 3 auctions last week and one teils me he's away for 2 weeks holiday and won't ship till he's back the other said my card did'nt work but i paid online 10 mins later without Problem, they use the saleroom shipping service which won't be picked up for 10 days ffs and the other teils me of a postal dispute in the UK arrggghhhhh. Anyway, the point i'm trying to make Stuart is that you can't rely on BINs, you need bread and butter coins that you can sell on a daily basis in auction to keep yourself ticking over and picking up 1 or 2 BINs here and there that can afford to sit. I'm now waiting on 117 coins and sets and only 1 of those will be a BIN. I won't be going for the Morgan Dollar either, its to expensive but i have spotted a Sov rarity, so maybe a wee stab on that, although Gold is a pain in the arse to shift unless you're John Blyth and shill it in auction

  18. Full description An opportunity to acquire a beautiful choice example of the 1952 - 1977 QUEEN ELIZABETH II SILVER JUBILEE MEDALLION Boxed in original case of issue. Obverse depicts Queen's bust with legend 'HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN ELIZABETH II' and dates 1952 - 1977 below. Reverse shows crown with lettering '25 YEARS'. There are thistles, roses, daffodils and shamrock beneath representing the four countries of the United Kingdom and the legend reads 'THE QUEEN'S SILVER JUBILEE' Struck in sterling 0.925 silver - weight 24.5 grams - diameter is 38mm. We have never come across another example of this medallion so must assume it is quite rare - possibly privately struck? Bidding starts at 99p with no reserve.
  19. I like the Description of this, just Shows the arrogance of the man, last Paragraph reads: We have never come across another example of this medallion so must assume it is quite rare - possibly So basically what he's saying is, if the Platts have Never seen or handled one then it will be rare.
  20. 1827 1849 OT 1856 1860/591869 1871 1875H a few to go at, but all will cost, so depends on the budget
