I have a few of those, but I was unfamiliar with the CGC SS Requirements, so it came back qualified:

The first million dollar sale of a single private coin collection was that of George F. Scanlon auctioned by Stack's on Oct. 24-27, 1973. It brought $1,093,890.00. He had only collected for 10 years. E PLURIBUS UNUM (one out of many) first appeared on the 1795 Liberty Cap-Heraldic Eagle gold half eagle. The Peace Dollar represents the first time where the word "Peace" was used on a coin of any nation. The largest gold nugget on record was found in 1869 in Victoria, Australia. It weighed 208 pounds. The motto IN GOD WE TRUST first appeared on a coin of the U.S. in 1864, during the Civil War. The smallest monetary unit ever issued in the U.S. was the half cent. It was minted from 1793 through 1857. The Smithsonian Coin Collection has approximately 850,000 coins.

With ALL the FIRSTs, this set presents, I was lucky enough to find this coin set at Smyrna's and it definetely was a "MUST BUY" for my collection! 2007 P & D Two Coin Set George Washington Presidential Dollar NGC certified Brilliant Uncirculated "FIRST DAY OF ISSUE" FIRST coins issued in the Presidential Dollar Series! FIRST Day of Issue....certified and guaranteed by NGC! FIRST coin with LETTERED EDGE! The first Mint issue in nearly 75 years to feature a lettered edge on a coin for circulation. FIRST NGC slab that allows you to view the edge of the coin! Metal content, size and color of coins is the same as Sacagawea Dollar. NGC is Numismatic Guaranty Corporation. I am so psyched! I can't wait till they arrive! I didn't make it out to the banks in time to get my own submissions, so finding these were a bonus to my already long weekend. ngc_07pres

I am not too sure how favorable Michael Turner is to most, but Fathom is awesome. I now have my matched pair of Fathom #12 9.8s. This is a 2 cover set...

Just when I thought I was cool with it, it just had to happen, I would leave myself penniless for around 2 months. I am sure all of us have all experienced this dilemma at one point in time or another, I'm better now. At least if I was gonna be broke temporarily, it was for a good reason---Comics.

You strive for the best, so what do you do with your not so HG slabs? Replace them with better in a kindof turnover basis? I love collecting comic books for both their Artistry as well as their Story lines and/or Characters. I tend to lean towards the "Amazing Spider-Man" as well as the "Uncanny X-Men" lines. Throughout my collection, I have chosen many of which to be graded. Most of these books came direct from shelf to bag/board before leaving the Comic Store. I have multiples and I thought I would toss out a few to be graded. Most did rather well, although out of 5 ASM #238s, The best score I got was a 7.5, 6.0, and a 4. Many of those were purchased online but my highest score was one of my personal reader copies. I love the thrill of just knowing that I have some CGC 9.9s but nothing to write home about.. Well until tomorrow.. JammnIT

I recently purchased an ASM #300. I bought it as a VF-NM- Really looked sharp, But.... When I submitted the book to CGC, they found that there had been some type of color restoration performed. It got a 7.5 I just never expected to have received a Restored version of this great comic. It is not a bad thing, but it throws my whole color schemes off... Blue--Yesllow--Green---, and now I get to add a --Purple. Oh well.. Such is life?

Can't seem to find a correct appraisal of a CGC 9.8 and a 9.6 for Amazing Spider-Man #300 I have checked previous auction histories, as well as the GPA, Comic Price Guide (CPG), and other resources and still can't seem to nail down a price. All the data I see continually changes, as does the market. I am slowly amassing my own set of HG Slabbed ASM, and Uncanny X-men. I should be receiving a total of 7 CGC graded books from my latest submissions over the next couple weeks. I am going crazy with anticipation... In other words, I Can't Wait!! I really

House of M complete? Here is just one of a few of my gems.. I think I have finally completed my Entire House of M series and am mainly looking at some of the particular Variants. houseofm1Q

I have been slowly trying to get my Uncanny X-Men series as well as my Amazing Spiderman serie's holes patched. It will take me a long time and a lot of money I know.... To fill in holes in my various X-Men and ASM sets, while uncovering jewels or diamonds in the rough so to speak....

Hurricane Wilma Hits Florida, CGC Closed due to weather Well, I guess I cannot find out my grades today on my 3 issues I submitted to CGC. Their offices are closed today due to weather, but will be opened tomorrow..Tuesday. I hope that all is well with all of them and their families, considering their offices are locate in Sarasota, FL. Wish them all luck...

I saw where someone had mentioned creating a Thread devoted to: My Holy Grail and/or grails A thread pertaining to perhaps what I had to do in obtaining my (grail)(at this point in time at least, ) how I was able to obtain mine? Was it $$$ or was it Trade? Or was perhaps a combination of both? My latest was my first ever 9.9, albeit it is a more modern Uncanny X-Men #444, but it was my first ever, and only 1 of 4 ever to be registered.
