    NGC Registry-PCGS coins accepted into US competitive sets!

    Thank God.  You have no idea how happy this makes 99% of collectors (or perhaps you do). The reason we came here was your Registry gave us a place where we didn't have to choose a service, but could merely purchase the best coins available in their class.  In my opinion, NGC's Registry (particularly for Indian Cents) is far superior to the mishmash of the PCGS Registry.  I was so ticked off after the untimely decision a couple years ago, I joined PCGS and crossed over many of my best NGC coins (about 80% of them crossed, several at a premium).  While I am certainly not pleased with the hassle and expense, I can once again select the best coins for my collection, irrespective of the slab.  Thank you for finally correcting this.  I am on board 100% and will begin buying NGC once again.  I have a feeling most ardent collectors agree with me.

    This is a horrible mistake and is forcing us to buy the holder, not the coin.  This was the one area that really put NGC ahead of PCGS to me from a collector's perspective.  Now, they are no better.  I have a top 25 registry set comprised of about 60% PCGS and 40% NGC.    Due to the economics of crossover, the NGC coins have been reholdered to PCGS.  As a result of this, NGC has lost about 20 gem coins to PCGS.  Is this the result Mark wanted?   Maybe not, but I guarantee I'm not the only who's done this.
