Walked into a south florida coin shop today with $700 cash to buy a ms63/64 PCGS common date saint and they said they didnt have any at any price. However they tried to sell me a NGC graded saint, wich I didnt consider, at any price. These dealers feel since NGC is down here they have to only deal in NGC ,well I only deal in PCGS. Its my right as a consumer to choose what grading service and holder I like. Everytime I buy a NGC coin I always wish it was a PCGS, so I have to cross them over. So I just refuse all NGC coins, if I like PCGS better, thats my choice. Well this guy just lost a sale, and since gold is coming down as of now I get the last laugh. Maybe i`ll just hoard cash instead, life sucks when $700 doesnt buy happiness, maybe $1500 will, or $2000. Money has NO value today.thats fine, I will hoard it, NOT spend it, cause thats what bush wants you to do is spend, i will not spend.

    Go to www.rarecoa.com, they're selling PCGS MS-64 Saints for $675. Smart move not buying those NGC coins, they're real death traps. It makes a huge difference when buying generic gold.

    Well, I suppose that life sucks a bit, but what the heck.

    Good luck with your hunt!

    Look at the coin, not which silly plastic holder it's in.

    Ever think of trying a different coin shop? Do you have a phone? Ever think of calling ahead? Ever think that you were simply late regarding the current mini gold rush? Afraid to buy raw and submit on your own?

    Sheesh!! Drink less coffee, drink more coffee, whatever works for you.

    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

    Can you spell G-E-N-E-R-I-C C-O-I-N?

    If there ever was a coin where it did not matter if the piece were in an NGC or PCGS holder, a common date St. Gaudens $20 in MS-63 or '4 would be it.

    Buy the coin not the holder!

    Yes, the NGC MS-63 that sitting in my type set right now is better than most MS-64's I've seen.

    Maybe he's working on a PCGS generic gold Registry set, or maybe he's trying to corner the PCGS generic gold market. You never know... image

    ...I did try calling another coin shop down here in south florida, ft.lauderdale rare coins, they said the exact same thing.!!! Well I do feel better cause I still have my cash which I will continue to hoard. As far as calling ahead, I certainly did. I called at 4:00 PM, Nov 18, I said I wanted a 1908 No Motto saint Ms64/63, in PCGS.He said he had it in stock and quoted a price of $670. I said fine, i`ll be in tomorow morning. I arrived at 11:15 AM today with cash in my hand he had not one PCGS gold coin., Neither did ft.lauderdale rare coins, only NGC !!!Well, I keep hoarding cash, maybe when I reach $1500.00 i`ll find a saint, if I have to fly to new york I will, wich is were i`m from.Or maybe DHRC.

    Fly to a coin shop just to pick up a PCGS saint in 64. That is the type of customer any shop wants.

    Do this: Save your money and go to the FUN show (link) this January and you will have literally hundreds of saints (PCGS) to look at.

    I am very serious. I am over wieght. why should I give my money to a supermarket. If you try, you will be supprised what could be accomplished in a short amount of time.What I am saying is instead of giving my money to a supermarket, I can hoard cash instead, my weight comes down and at the same time my bank balance goes up.I now save every supermarket reciept and total them up.I have been spending $300 a month on food, and getting fat. In a few months, that money could buy a real nice coin. Most americans dont seem to realize how much money they really waste.,thats why 50% of them are obese. well I rather have a coin than food, and im ready for the new year. PCGS rules, I dont care what you say.

    Well, I have a PCGS MS-63 1908-NM $20 saint. Sounds like it's time to sell... image

    Not sure I will, though.

    LOL Jon!

    Sumner,

    The supermarket savings plan sounds like a great idea! Why didn't I think of that???

    Don't buy food for three months and you can have a gold $20 piece. Where do you get food in the meantime?

    I have a solution to your dilemma:

    1. Buy one of the NGC's.

    2. Ask someone here to send you a picture of one of their PCGS-64 Saint labels.

    3. Print it out.

    4. Tape it to the NGC slab.
    Time sure flies when you don't know what you are doing...
