My 2 Sac's: A Tale About 2 Coins and Grading Services
Here's a story about 2 coins not that different
Tell me what you think below in the comments
A few years ago I decided to bust open a 2005 S Proof set myself. I had renewed my PCGS Membership and so I had 8 free submissions free to PCGS which we know free is a real good deal for coin grading services. I got the idea to bust open a proof set in hopes of the elusive 70 grade (which stands for a perfect coin) especially by PCGS.
My first submission almost angered me when they sent back some 1800 gold they were in holders but said Genuine Not Gradeable....wtf you mean I have seen vf gold coins that are nothing close to the beauty of some of these coins. Anyway **.92 I had inherited the coins but never cleaned them.
I was after the elusive 70 from PCGS. When I got my 2005 S Sacagawea back it came back with a grade of PR68DCAM I thought wow, I had examined it under magnification before I decided which proof set to bust open. Looks like someone has done the same I bought 3 ramdom PCGS graded coins off ebay for 18$ each I got a 94 S silver Rosie PR69DCAM, a nice Penny S Mint Mark PR69DCAM, and then the 2nd Sacagawea you see posted above in the picture also a PR69DCAM...anyway here are pics of mostly my first one I sent off I busted out of the proof set myself. This might be a good read for new collectors that are new to grading services, they are not all equal. Take care and I hope you enjoy. Let me ask one more thing below
IS a 70 attainable by the common collector?

I got these for about $22 each back in 2009, I like them. I wish I had a 70, anyone have a 70, I actually got the from a deal on the back of the NRA magazine that they send out monthly to NRA members. The deal was supposed to be 1 per household and then the guy tried to get you to invest in a prtofolio of graded coins for your retirement. I didn't go for his deals on the phone but, I did go for the 3 NGC MS69 Early Releases for 21.95 I think was the price. I figured it was worth the silver and the grade for free.
Always be on the lookout for good deals and scams, I was afraid I would have got scammed if I went with whatever he was trying to sell but I made out ok for a collector I think. I love my 3 Ladies of Liberty!

Pretty Ugly Pretty Academy "Chunky" Bar
Hi all,
This is an an Academy fine .999 silver "chunky" bar purchased back in 1999. I saw some for sell on ebay and they had certain lot #'s etc. I have no idea how to tell or which this is. I know I bought it from Scottsdale Silvers website and thought it looked neat the way it looks like something you would get if you melted down a bunch of old mercury dimes or rosies and poured them into mold you made yourself.
This makes me wonder something too, does anyone know the melting point of .9000 silver (aka rosies and mercs) I know what it is for silver but I am now curious how much the other 10% changes it. Anyway if anyone knows let me know....other than that this is a pretty ugly pretty 10 ounces of silver. :-)
BTW its probably for sell if you're interested :P
