One of a two coin 2007/2008 Olympic Judo Set. A 1 Nis & 2 Nis collectible set.
Originally I was gifted this 1 Nis/2 Nis as a two coin set in 2008 Boxed from the Israeli Mint for earning my 1st Degree under “Bruce Lee’s” KENPO style. Found in my Medals? *Note* In my original set (See Serial #) the 1 Nis was graded PCGS PL MS70 although it looks very much like the 2 Nis Proof? {{Shrugs}} I hunted the number #1…Israeli “2 Nis” in hopes it would show up on the market one day. In 2014 or thereabouts it was on EBay. Sadly I missed the purchase. This coin ended up in Ukraine and came up for sale…I was shocked but moved quickly to purchase. I now own the only set by - PCGS in MS70 DCAM. Found this a great story to share. Hope you enjoyed!

Another must have medal considering I’ve become a fan of PCGS graded coins. Only 350 total mintage with only 102 graded perfect by PCGS. Love this medal!
Beautiful Coin or Medal. Had to have it in my set. Mintage: 300 Pieces
This magnificent 1954 Capital Holder Jefferson Nickel is fantastic however the attribute of 6 Steps was ignored? As a paid member each year this is something I leave in the hands of PCGS since they’re considered the experts when it comes to grading. Would think this attribute is considered part of grading system since I don’t don’t know or care about paying the extra money for such an attribute.

This was sent in a Capital Holder and its grade is quite questionable. Looking at the coin in hand one questions whether the grader was competent in grading anything? Never have I seen any of my Capital Holder sets graded so low. In hand this grades at least MS65 if not higher. Not FB for sure but a damn nice Roosevelt Dime.

1954 Capital Holder Set. This Quarter Dollar is just as beautiful as the Franklin Half Dollar. Someone must have been drunk while grading this after lunch or their glasses were fogged up. This leaves myself as a customer questioning PCGS’s capabilities to continue providing a fair and balanced grading system. After all the customer is paying for this one way or another out of pocket while losing the overall cost of such a coin. This coin looks just as good if not better than the Franklin Half Dollar. Losing faith in PCGS as a grading company while I pay each year to be a member? I love my PCGS coins but don’t insult my intelligence. Especially when you can’t grade the Vietnamese coin I sent and you don’t recognize it and still charge me for grading or should I say none grade? Any argument is frivolous when it comes to this company. Sending anything back for regrade is just more cost and nothing is guaranteed when it comes to upgrade or downgrade. PCGS holds all the cards over collectors and complaining means nothing to them. They simply don’t care!

This was my fathers and he loved these gold Indian coins, found in a safe deposit box I had it graded. I’m happy with it!
Addition to my Gold Indian Collection. Just wanted one of each denomination.
This has to be one of my favorite Commemoratives next to the Lincoln.

Beautiful Restrike but the mintage was way too high at 124,885 pieces. Hope the newly 2026 release has a lower mintage along with the standing Liberty.
