Hey Speedy Cancel your order... I am to heavily invested in the 2005s for them to go down especially after my disaster with 2000

Ah, yes the 2000 issues! One must not be too disappointed as the great failure of 2000 led to the beauty of 2001! Kind of ironic that something bad had to happen for something good to come out of it! Just wish I had all my 2001 proof sets back now! If only I/We would have known but none the less those 2001 "keepers" still make up for the flood of 2000!!!

I didn't buy ONE 2000 proof set till last year! and it still went down!!!
I've only found 1 2000 Silver set so far--and the Dime has red hair...I think that was something that happened that year...is that right?
If I were you...go for the Comm's...I don't get them much and if I do it will be the Halves as I like them better...if they do a Comm of Franklin...well...I'll be buying them too!!!

Well Speedy the commemorative issues are only good if NO ONE else buys them! And, sadly to say, the only way you can put yourself in that position is to buy them all and wait for the final tally! Most don't do much but those that nobody wanted, well look at them now!!!

Got my order of proof sets in Yesterday and I have to say I am impressed. Every one is a PR70 Dcam in my eyes. This is why I don't grade coins.....
I Like these sets very much so I don't care if Speedy has jinxed them.

You could always start your own TPG with eyes like that.  |

About a Year ago I put a Fake slab auction up on ebay from the L&R grading service (Leah and Richard). I put up a highly wizzed silver War Nickel and Graded it PC5 (Pocket Change 5) I tried to explain to the newbies about the difference in grading services. I had over Five hundred hits on the auction and Sold my 5 Cent coin for $28. I sent the Winner a PCGS graded coin of the same date. Every now and again I think I will repeat the auction but just never seem to get around to it. |

I can't See ebay having a problem with it as long as you are honest. I clearly stated that this was the First slab from L&R grading and had good Pictures. I also stated that my comments on the other grading companies where purely my own opinion. I went on to explain the 70 point grading system used by most people. then pointed out everything that was wrong with the coin I had slabbed. |

What an interesting way to educate people! I do have a question, though. When you filled in the item specifics for the auction, did you select "certified" or "uncertified"? The reason I ask is that I'm trying (and have been for a while) to get ebay to only recognize the ANA-recognized TPG's. The basis of some of my recent reports have been that, with the ANA partnership, the "Certified" item specific should only be able to be used in conjunction with ANA-recognized TPG's and that the others should be viewed as opinions. So far, I don't seem to be getting anywhere with this, but it is an area I would like to focus on when I have a little more time. I actually would be interested in hearing input from anyone about how fair you think this is. |

When I put up the Auction ebay did not have the Certified/Uncertified option If I were to do it again I think I would have to list as Uncertified as I cannot call myself a TPG |

Do you feel that it is fair to expect ebay to only consider a coin certified if it from an ANA-recognized TPG? or am I being unreasonable? |

Hi Susan, As I was thinking about this, it doesn't seem unreasonable at all. There are numerous parallels in other areas. One can have accountants certify books- but it means more if the accountant is a CPA. In many circumstances the individual must be a CPA. ebay could put a line in the which currently says cert/uncert and have it specify cert ( ANA recognized) cert-other TPG, uncert. A small step, but simple... Don |
