No.

That was the goal of the ANA registry that NGC was working on providing. Sadly, I suspect that when NGC was bought by wall street that was scrapped as too expensive with no positive impact on the bottom line. It is too bad as I would have loved to see how that would have looked and worked.

I fail to see the correlation between these two issues, CAC is not PCGS and PCGS is not CAC. And given the problems and backlash that NGC received the last time they paused the use of PCGS graded coins in the registry I would really doubt NGC would repeat that mistake again. Plus at the winter FUN NGC announced that CAC graded coins would be allowed to be used in the NGC registry, if NGC were to once again disallow PCGS graded coins then by default they would also need to backtrack that recent statement and disallow CAC graded coins too. Honestly none of that would be a good look for NGC.

Not even close to the real thing.

I agree @Fenntucky Mike I too cannot find a central forum or whatever that might be called in this type of format. This seems to be formatted like FB or IG where you have to search the site to find the specific area you want. And it seems that the individual that starts a group is in control of that group so if that person decides he/she doesn't like a member (new or old) he can simple boot that person out of the group for any reason. This feels very clickish and not in any way inclusive, it seems to me that this will end up with a ton of individual groups of just a few people being active as any dissenting opinions or replies will be shut down really quickly. One example I found, there is a group called toned coins, but a member started another group called attractively toned coins. Attractive is somewhat arbitrary and while often many will agree that is not always true. So my assumption is the person that started the attractively toned group has the say on what is posted and will delete any content that he/she doesn't like or feel fits with his/her idea of what is attractive. That feels very cult like and exclusive not inclusive, yes men only need apply it would seem. I guess that is basically how FB or IG work so the younger generation are fine with that, just not my cup of tea. I also am not a FB or IG person so the format is difficult to navigate, not that I cannot find my way around or understand it but simply that its a clunky design imo. A forum like here is easy to read, just go to the section and scan the threads for any that interest you, open and read. The mycollect site requires you to search around for a group and then scroll down to see replies and any replies to those replies, clunky with lots of extra clicks. Meh, I might sign up but only for access to the buy/sell area, the rest of the site is not what I would enjoy.

Its a new website that launched today, created by Ian Russel of Great Collections. From what I have read so far the site is an all in one site, social media/forum mishmash, but supposedly also includes some stolen coins reporting component and a coin registry as well. I visited the site briefly today but could not find a way to navigate the site past the main login screen (I did not join so that may be the issue). My impression from reading a thread about it on the PCGS forum is that it seems geared towards the twitter/instagram crowd, but again without being able to move around the site I'm just going on what I have read. www.mycollect.com

If so what are your thoughts on it, I looked at it breifly but there seemed to be nothing to see at the home page.

No need to write NGC, NGC is aware of the problem See Here the real issue is that there is no way of knowing yet how it will be resolved. Nice to you see you active with your set again, congrats on the 40-S.

This update doesn't sound very hopeful.

Good luck Hog! Hope you find something nice in those jugs. Edited to add: after I wrote that I realized that my words could be taken a completely different direction.

Very nice find in a circ roll for sure, not wasting our time just remember that we cannot see the coin only the photos you supply. The better the photos the better the opinions. From these photos I can only see it grading as BN. Should you decide to submit please come back and update with the grade it receives, I've been collecting copper for 40 years so I'm always interested to see how my prediction does against the grading room.

1926-S is a better date for the Lincoln wheat series and tougher to find nice than many think. There looks to be some luster left so I think a low AU grade is possible, however, you would need for it to grade as least AU58 or better to be worth the costs which from your photos I do not see happening. These sell in a tight price range at auctions of $50 to$80 in the grades of XF40 to AU55 for certified examples so you would be spending almost that much to have it graded.

The large hit across the steps automatically takes a full step designation of the table. However, the coin was never full steps to begin with, there are some subtle blends of the steps under the third pilar which would make a full step designation impossible even if the hit had not happened. It is impossible to opine on the strength of strike from a photo of only the steps, however, a coin that displays full steps is not automatically blessed with a strong strike. As to the second part of your comment, I have a holed seated dollar, would you consider it unimpaired? After all the hole happened after it left the mint and was not a strike failure. The point is when the damage happens is not relevant, in this case the steps are broken by that hit and it doesn't matter when that hit occurred.

NGC gives that designation to the proof coins that they feel are deserving, it does not require any special tier. The fact is that almost every proof coin that the mint produces today, including proof ASE's, are produced with DCAM surfaces, it would be the exception for any modern proof coin not to receive a DCAM designation.

Can someone provide a sticker to verify that your sticker is legit?

Posible perhaps, but why would the mint need to do such an operation on this coin at that time? I am not super familiar with the SLQ series but as far as I know the only change that year was recessing the date, I would not think that a die trial would be needed for that minor a change given that it was a return to the style of 1917.

It would help if you could tell us more details of where you encountered this issue, Like Mike I'm assuming that you got the pop-up to add to sets after you entered the coin into your inventory here on the NGC registry site. If that is the case and you have not started any registry sets then there is nothing you need to do but close that pop-up. In the future if you decide to start a registry set that includes this coin(s) you can add it to that set(s) then.

Even if it was a genuine brockage there would usually be some portions of the rev design showing, as there are none I can only come to the same conclusion as the others that this is something created in an attempt to fake a real error, how, why, or who we will never know.

Agree with greenstang, the 6 quarters in your photo above are just common pocket change in that condition, to be worth even a few dollars each they would have to be in uncirculated condition, from the one photo they all appear to be in less than uncirculated condition. You mention a "1831 capped bust 2.5D gold piece" just for the sake of accuracy, the mint ceased production of the capped bust $2.5 dollar gold coin in 1808, the correct term for an 1831 is Capped Head. However without any photos (both sides of the coin) nobody knows what you really have.

I cannot recall which coin(s) I saw that went over the MS68 pricing, but the one that comes to my mind instantly is a 1935 Lincoln graded by PCGS MS65RD that sold on ebay for $1650. A 35 in 65RD lists for $40 per the current PCGS guide, $550 in 67+, and $9,500 in 68, although that $9,500 number is a fantasy as there as not been any recent auctions for a 68 that have been anywhere near that high. But still in this case the coin sold for three times the price of a 67+ and about half(ish) the price of a 68, and fwiw this is the only 1935 Lincoln that has a gold bean pop 1/0 at CAC. It is a really nice coin and would have brought a premium price but no way in the world that coin sells for that amount without the gold bean. It is important to keep in mind that there are very few Lincoln cents with a gold bean, currently 45 in all color designations, other series where gold beans are more common (for lack of a better word), like Merc dimes, the premiums are not quite as high. While I'm mostly guessing I think that the prices will not be affected that much if at all for the coins that folks agree are the "A" coins. The "B" coins, those that are seen as only solid for the grade will likely be impacted more, keeping in mind that I'm invested with the CAC sticker so my view might be biased. In my opinion most of the coins I have seen with a sticker are really nice coins, coins that would/will sell for a premium bean or no. So from that perspective I think the market will continue to place a higher value on beans for the foreseeable future registry points or not. The sister question to yours is what happens to the market values for beaned coins once the stickering operation is shut down for good. Lots of speculation on that aspect as well with many feeling that the prices will move higher (some have said sharply higher) once that happens. I am also in that camp as once it is done there can be no more and over time a coin with a bean will be like an old TPG holder and create its own market.

As it always does it depends on the coin, in some cases a CAC green bean can bring thousands, even tens of thousands over a non CAC coin. And then some coins might get ten, twenty, or no bump in price, it really just depends on the coin and where on the grading scale you are talking about. I can say with confidence that a gold bean will almost always bring a much higher price, I have seen MS65 coins with a gold bean sell for more than an MS68 graded coin, the gold bean market is hot!

Welcome to the forum, the photos are not completely focused but it looks like damage from the reeded edge of another coin.
