Thanks for the info, Ali!

Is there a service available to get photos taken of coins that are already slabbed?

Thank you for the inquiry, BlakeEik.

We will add your score request to the queue of requested updates for after today's deadline. Please let us know when we may assist in the future with the NGC Registry.

Hello NGC admins,

I was just curious - how are things going there?  How much have registry operations been impacted from the coronavirus precautions?  Stay safe, Thanks.

When will the 2019 award winners get their NGC grading credit?  And can that credit be used for reholder or ncs services? Is there a way to see your account balance?  Thanks

weigh it to tell if it's silver.

Of course it could be.  Silver proofs have been made and included in silver proof sets since 1992.

I just received my plaque for the 2019 registry awards, and I am very appreciative for the quality of the award and the efforts put forth to send it.  Thank you, NGC.

My app starting working again - all by itself...

I listened, and I couldn't hear it say anything...

We aim to make 100% completion of any registry set attainable for our average collector.

Whoa! I think this claim may be a little misleading. There are many sets where NO ONE has been able to complete 100%, let alone the "average" collector.  But that is part of the competition, right?

I know NGC cannot honor everyone's requests, that would not be practical, and it's somewhat impressive that you try to honor any at all.  But honestly, sometimes its hard to make heads or tails of what you allow versus what you do not allow. @CRAWTOMATIC brings up one example, and others including myself have question certain inclusions as well.

...just my opinion....

How do you do a "hard refresh" in the iPhone app?

I think you may get more responses if you post in the Counterfeit section.

What does it mean if the coin you are trying to verify has the Cert number, the year, mint and denomination, but the grade is “DELETED” and there are no pictures?

@Revenant Agree! They must be confident about it to broadcast this far in advance. 

https://www.ngccoin.com/news/article/7652/ana-registry/

Wow, so many questions...

How will the NGC and ANA registries coexist? 

Do they need to coexist or will NGC retire theirs?

Will NGC rules their change once this happens? It would be reasonable then that PCGS coins are not allowed (for everyone), otherwise there will be two duplicate registries, correct?

Will the ANA format be similar to (i.e. copied from) NGCs? It sounded as though that was then plan.

ANA wants their first competition in Aug 2021.  Is this enough time given the problems the contract developers have had to meet deadlines?

Any idea about the reasoning or timing of the decision?

Time to speculate! 

@CRAWTOMATICi too am curious about your questions. I hope someone can answer them. 

Here's a bunch of opinion:

Buy the one you like more.

CAC has been useful to me buying coins over the Internet when you do not get to see the coin in person.  It's a worthy second opinion.

Buy the coin, not the plastic, and not the sticker.

I think it is reasonable to pay more for a CAC coin due to the submission fee and second opinion. How much more depends.  If an AU50 coin sells for $900 and an AU53 for $1000, I would not pay more than half the difference ($950 at most) and that's only if I like the coin anyway.

Sorry Ali, I should not have said NGC did not respond. I meant they had not resolved it yet. I know you are all busy. 

Chris, what sets are you referring to that have those scores?  NGC gives each coin two scores - a coin score and a type score.  Year-mint sets use the coin score, and type sets use the type score, so it matters what set you are referring to.

If you are referring to a type set, I believe you are 100% correct!  I believe that the brilliant proof wheat cent type score was accidentally allotted the same scores as for the matte proof type, which is way more rare.  You can read my argument here. (NGC has not responded yet)

 If you are referring to a year-mint set, you still may have a point, but I would need to know the set.

Start the certificates Printing “Hanson” 

errh... you mean Hansen?  yeah, now he can dominate at NGC, too...  But at least if he does come over here, there is the "NGC best" category, and I believe most of his collection is PCGS, no?  So...just extremely dominant, not absolutely dominate perhaps? 

@Ali E.Thank you Ali, the results made it appear as though my request was forgotten or disregarded. I do appreciate your help. And Thanks for the feedback, @Fenntucky Mike

@RevenantYes, you are correct (and thanks for the lecture ), I have been very grateful ever since - I explained what happened in this thread.

It suggests that any option that could be accidentally changed and would have catastrophic repercussions should first have something similar to a confirmation dialog box. I do not think that is much to ask on behalf of everyone that edits their set introduction.

@Revenant ...nothing less!

I hope you're right, but I'm not so sure. If it's an IT issue, it's very possible they will not fix it even if they know its the right thing to do. NGC does not seem to be in command of their own IT...at least for now.

Question for an Admin:

One of my sets won an award - Best Presented Set, which is pretty awesome!  https://www.ngccoin.com/registry/competitive-sets/153285/

What's strange is that this set also lost to two different sets with lower scores.  On the final day, my set had the highest score and consists of only NGC graded coins. 

 

See the outcome here:

Can this please be corrected?

Any movement here?  The longer the wait, I'm afraid NGC is going to be too reluctant to remove the best-in-category awards from the other sets that should have never won in the first place.

Your "Competitive Coins" are always "Private".  Your "Competitive Sets" are controlled by the "Private" checkbox when you go to your set and click "Edit". Uncheck them to make them public.
