Well, I expected the 40-S to see some action, but it has surpassed what I thought it would go for. To the moon!!
I see that the auction for that piece had ended.
What did it go for?

I haven't seen any1940 Denver mint coins on GC in the MS68 range except for a nickel with a very expensive starting bid, there is one SF and a couple of Philly coins in that grade. The SF dime is not a FB coin and will likely not sell all that high, zero chance of a FB and even at MS68 it scores just a few points higher than my current 67FB coin. so not really worth chasing. The 40-S Lincoln up this week looks like a very nice coin, maybe not quite MS68, but very nice and should do well. The 40-P that will be up in a few weeks is a dog, it looks like a mechanical error or a total whiff from the photos.
My mistake on that '40-D
I was referring to the '40-P; the picture does look rather off...

There are a '40-D and a '40-S in the grade of NGC MS68 up for bids over at Great Collections; they're probably going to go for stupid money......

Thank you, the 40-D became the low hanging fruit after you were able to get the points score revised, and while my previous 40-D Washington is very nice ti was always a bit dark for my liking. This upgrade is a better fit from a visual standpoint to most of the other silver coins in the set, still need to find that just right 40-S Merc.
Once again, your kind words are gratefully received.
Let me guess, you're looking for a '40-S Merc in NGV MS68FB?
My next planned acquisitions will be the '40-D and '40-S Washingtons in NGC MS67+ and the '40-S Walker in NGC MS66+

I was able to add a few upgrades myself and get my score back to where it was prior to the removal of the CAC points, you will need more than 3,255 points now.
I see you bagged a '40-D Lincoln in the grade of NGC MS67+; congrats on that one
You also picked up a '40-D Washington in NGC MS67+
Well then, Lay on MacDuff and damn'd be he who first cries 'Hold, Enough'

Once again, I have taken up the chase as my next purchase will be a '40 Lincoln in the grade of NGC MS67+; this will net me an additional 1,790 registry points and thus will bring my total to 24,803 points.
Just 3,255 points to go until I reclaim my rightful throne.....
-
Those responsible for assigning point scores for coins in the registry must have realized my argument was logical, as the '40-D in NGC MS67+ now carries a point value of 2,088
HUZZAHH!!!!

Hello.
Again, please follow these directions if you wish to request a score correction: https://boards.ngccoin.com/topic/426754-how-do-i-request-an-ngc-score-correction/
Population is automatically considered in the NGC Registry scoring algorithm. It is one of many factors taken into consideration. Thank you.
Madam:
I see no logical reason why the '40-D in the grade of NGC MS67+ is so undervalued points-wise when compared to the '40 and '40-S in the same grade.

Good luck on getting the points revised, that will give me a good reason to upgrade my MS67.
Do please recall that, in a much-earlier post in this thread, I opined that the '40-D in the grade of NGC MS67+ was severely-undervalued points-wise and that ALI E. invited me to request a score correction...

New Coin, Cert#6699782-004, 595 points
Old Coin: cert#637486-038, 575 points
The '40-D in NGC MS67+ is severely under-valued points-wise compared to the '40 and '40-S in the same grade; the NGC value of the '40-S exceeds the '40 and the '40-S combined. It is also far more rare...

If your coin is still showing the "old" grade in the NGC Registry, please email us your NGC certification number to registry@NGCcoin.com, or post it here. Thank you.
I did exactly that, and it didn't allow me to mention the coin's '+' grade

I upgraded my '40-D Lincoln to the grade of NGC MS67+, and I'm hoping to get the score corrected.
It is severely-undervalued, points-wise, as there are just five examples of this coin in that grade in the registry.

Hello. Please post any score correction requests by following the directions below. Thank you.
Dear Madam:
I have just requested a score correction on my 1940-D Lincoln cent in the grade of NGC MS-67+ for the following reasons:
"As regards the census for the 1940 cent, the census is 24, with none graded higher than NGC MS67+; for the 1940-D cent, there are just 5 examples graded higher than NGC MS67. Lastly, for the 1940-S cent in NGC MS67+, the census is just 7, with one graded higher. If anything, the point value for the 1940-D issue in NGC MS67+ should be equal to the others."
I wanted to enter this text in my request, but there was no way to do so.
Please advise.

I just hope that they don't make changes just for the sake of making changes, although that is sort of how this recent change feels.
I'm definitely getting this impression....

But it makes me wonder what is coming next.
Removing PCGS-certified coins from the registry, mayhap?

This appears to be a political move rather than one designed to enhance the registry or collectors.
A wise man once said that politics is the last refuge of fools...

Well, it seems as if NGC had decided the issue with regards to the CAC bonus; in checking the point values for 1940 coins, the line showing the point value of coins with CAC stickers is no longer there, and that sets with coins that have the CAC sticker have had their point values reduced.
What sayeth the hive mind on this?

Hopefully NGC can restore the link to the CAC database or, failing that, remove the CAC bonus for existing coins. Having a two-tiered system where "legacy" coins are given special treatment is not healthy and diminishes the legitimacy of the competitive aspect of the registry, similar to the failed NGC-only experiment of a few years ago when legacy PCGS coins were allowed to remain in competitive sets.
If the CAC bonus is to be removed, it should be for all coins with the sticker. None should be allowed to have their bonus at all....

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.
Indeed.

I wish that the major grading services (NGC, PCGS, CAC, and perhaps ANACS, which doesn't have a registry), could cooperate to create a single coin registry. This would reduce the overhead associated with operating the registry for each service and be more convenient for collectors. (The services could still issue separate prizes for the "best" or otherwise notable collections of coins in their respective holders.) I'm a realist, however, and doubt that this will ever happen.
An excellent idea; I'd definitely be in favor of that....

My personal opinion is that the NGC registry should be for NGC-certified coins only; if it happens that NGC and CAC go their separate ways and those with CAC-stickered coins lose the associated bonus, then PCGS-certified coins should be removed.

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.
Once again, your kind words are gratefully received.
I didn't know of the issues with CAC, so that's a new one on me.
If the CAC bonus point end up going away, I and others will be rather annoyed.
I had a chance to bag a '40-D Washington quarter NGC MS67+ and a '40-S Washington NGC MS67+ CAC for about the same price; about $1,500 each. However, while I was occupied in grabbing the '40-S Linc, some scurvy knave or knaves bought them out from underneath me

That exceeds the price paid for the same issue in Stuart Blay's collection, and his specimen was a PCGS-certified MS67+ with the CAC sticker
