Customer du Jour, Jan 10 2007
We have a lot of really nice customers, one in particular is an executive with a large Utah company and passes through town here 2 or 3 times a year. About two visits ago he saw us putting 30-40 Wheat cents in zip lock bags and asked what we were doing. I explained that every year at the local Boy Scout Expo we hand out… -

1936(d) Lincoln Cent (NGC-MS68RD): No PCGS
I was just consigned a 1936(d) Lincoln Cent grading NGC-MS68RD. The online NGC pop is 2/0 and the PCGS pop is 0. Here is another perfect example of the reality of the PCGS Lincoln Cent market today. PCGS grades very few copper Wheats in MS68RD. If PCGS were to grade a 1936(d) Lincoln in MS68RD grade (and the coin was nice… -
NOT a very smart move for PCGS, imho.......
At the risk of being banned, I have to say I was absolutely stunned to read PCGS's full page ad entitled "To all Buyers of Certified Coins...." in the April 13th issue of Numismatic News.

What do you think about the “facts and figures” in Heritage’s recent mailing about the Milwaukee ANA
Although I was bounced from Heritage’s catalog mailing list, I seem to have not been cut off from the regular slew of propaganda that they mail out. Yesterday I received a nice glossy brochure from Heritage indicating why I should consign my rarities to their auction at the Milwaukee ANA. The brochure was very well…
