in U.S. Coin Forum

Been adding old red books and grading books to the library, and have tried to stick to 2019 resolution that it would be the year of spending money on scholarship and limiting my coin purchases.

1) FINALLY, took the leap and signed up for Dalton, Ga ANA Grading Class
2) Inventoried my paltry collection to blow out on Ebay
3) Imaged about a third of the paltry collection

Book of the week...Received Analysis of Gem Franklin Halves by Ehrmantrout

To do list...
Prepare a small PCGS order
List more coins and other "stuff" to raise money for Summer FUN

So what did you accomplish in Numismatics this week?

    What is the least expensive with some design still visible? :)

    I read some of David Bowers Morgan Dollar book earlier today. I went on a couple of variety sites to learn more about some of the Mercury Dimes that have been posted on the forum recently. I added to and deleted items to an ongoing wantlist that I created last year.

    Updated my coin inventory file, cleaned up my picture files (deleted sold coins, etc.), and finally got my Apollo 11 gold proof in hand (PF70) as it was lost at the Post Office for the past week.

    The USPS never left a slip so from online tracking I showed up to ask for it. It took them a while, but they found it.

    I submitted three coins for grading (my second ever submission).

    I have a small # of them with a few letters,

    (I hate to quote a price here - am I violating any rules?)

    In general, about two or three $20's........

    LOL, trying to get you banned! B) Thanks, I'll call you this week.

    I have been working on my British kings notebook. I have expanded it got back to Alfred the Great who seems to the first king who rated the title "King of all England." I added three pieces to my British collection, which included two kings who date before Edward the Confessor who died in 1066. I have also been revising a number of the other pages as I find more interesting information.

    My U.S. coins are starting to seem "new." ;)

    I also finish an article for my local club's newsletter, "Alternative Money During the Civil War," and put the finishing touches on a Power Point presentation to go with it.

In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

    Yesterday I numismatically accomplished the $6 purchase of a beautiful common Washington.25 in my favorite toning.
    They’re tough to find with this look outside of full priced holders.

    This is a great thread idea. Maybe a weekly sticky?

    I ordered a couple silver Jefferson Medals and some coin sets from the Mint. Waiting for delivery on a 1/2 ozer Plat in MS-70.

    Checking in my routine specific online search criteria.
    Was a day late one an item of interest, nothing bought.
    Scheduled a work meeting around CRO early bird notification, lol.
    Thinking of renewing or updating my Legend auction bid registration.
    Several emails with dealers on other recent purchases and leads.
    Took my first 3 hour private lesson with local jeweler who is teaching me the steps to create my own cast and poured medal. More on that when I have a completed piece in hand. My goal is one piece by years end.

    Shipping online sales, setting up new purchases for online store, and absorbing the news involving PCGS Currency (see paper money forum) which I found out when got CDN the other day. Then mixed one part Jim Beam whiskey 2 parts coke and sat back in my upstairs office having a drink watching the trains roll (my N scale layout).
