Hello, Charlie.

Please provide us with any relevant NGC certification numbers, so we may research this. Thank you.

I guess I was thinking wide trees and meant heavy trees.

The mint is exploring less expensive metals for the penny and nickel. If they can't, expect the penny and nickel to be eliminated.

Right now there is more than a penny's worth of copper in each penny. Legislation was passed a few years ago to prevent exportation of pennies because they were being melted and sold for their copper value

I'm sure you remember back during the cent shortage of 1974 when business used to give out pieces of candy instead of the one cent pieces they didn't have.

 

Think hard times and civil war tokens, or in England the old 17th, 18th, and 19th century trade/provincial tokens.

 

Pre confederation canada had penny and half/penny tokens from the banks

A friend in Las Vegas just told me that BofAs there are claiming to be short on staff. Long lines. ATMs do not have cash.  A Rite Aid I go to is no cash back with debit cards here in Southern CA.

I'm in commiefornia too and have seen several stores with the shortage signs. Bank said I could get rolls of dollar coins🤣 but nobody uses those anyway.

I have been collecting raw canadian bank of montreal 1/2 penny tokens for awhile and finally got my first ngc cert coin. I would like to certify my raw coins. Can anyone( you experts out there) tell me how to differentiate between the "tall trees" and the "wide trees" for the different varieties? TIA!

Not genuine.

Altered 1942

So how do they prove "first day of issue" certs?

The Goodacres are listed in the PF section.

THANK YOU! I was looking under MS. I didn't know SP's were considered proofs

Looked on the new registry set post but couldn't find a way to ask for a Canada large cent complete set listing so I thought I'd try here.😁

Hmmm...we must be looking at different screens even though I followed your link. There is no ladder icon that I can find and no listings for goodacres. I found millennium sets and cheerios and reverse prototypes but no goodacres

Thanks - they are my 'rejects' believe it or not  :-)

Wow!

The problem with 18-year-old posts is that they may be obsolete:

Didn't find a listing for the goodacre on your link. What's your point?🤔 Looks like things haven't changed

See the announcement here:

https://www.ngccoin.com/boards/topic/414644-ngc-upgrades-ngc-registry-available-now/

So far the"upgrades" have been useless to me. When I go to the new site all I get is some weird screen

NGC does not use Breen numbers for the proof half cents. It was determined many years ago that his varieties represent die states that are not of general interest to collectors.

I'm interested.. 😁

Does ngc have any token competitive sets?

Noticed that there's no provision for pictures of my coins in my custom sets. Is that a possibility? Be nice to show off some of my coins that don't fit in the competitive sets😁

Hi Ali!

 

When NCG will start assigning value/ price to Canadian coins? It would better position the company ahead of its competence. Plus Canadian coins are high quality and very gorgeous! Take care and thank you for reading these lines!

I would like to see this for canadian coins in general. Been using coins and canada.

That sucks. They have a special finish different from the circulation coins. I have a graded pcgs goodacre that I would love to have graded by ngc since my whole ngc registry collection is ngc coins. I decided to keep it all ngc 15 years ago when I started with this registry. Not have an ngc graded goodacre leaves a big hole in my set.

I have a pcgs graded goodacre sacagawea dollar I would like to add to my set. How?? The only choices on the set page are ngc and ncs and it won't let me put the pcgs cert number in

Wow I don't even know where to start, it was a bad decision in some ways when management decided to stop allowing PCGS graded coins into the competitive registry sets.  The real issue was that PCGS coins already in a competitive set were grandfathered in but no new coins could be added, this was highly unfair to those starting new sets.  But now you have some; maybe not many but some; collectors that have started a set under the now overruled change who may have passed over a PCGS coin because it could not be used in that registry set, I doubt that those few will be overly happy about passing on a coin that they could now use.

 

When the change was made while I was not overly happy about it I did understand the reason, I however felt (and still do) that there was a much better and more fair solution to this whole issue.  Back then I said that the registry standing should be calculated using only NGC graded coins, all PGCS graded coins would be allowed to be seen but given a point score of 0 for the purpose of awarding registry awards.  No grandfathering needed, no exclusions, no muss and would have resulted in far fewer upset collectors imo; after all the scoring system is already in place as scores are calculated for NGC graded coins anyway.  Just do away with the all coins category and boom done.

 

I have to say that these changes do not make much sense and does not inspire confidence that management has a good understanding of what the customers want. 

I'm not really a big fan of the pcgs coins here - after all they have their own registry. And since no points are awarded why bother?

Wondered if a set could be created that included both circulation and proof small cents 

Has NGC certified any of the 2000P Goodacre sacagawea dollars?  I've seen pigs but don't recall any from ngc. Also will there be a slot in the sets for them?
