I've had the same issues with a few NGC-certified coins not getting removed from their former owners' sets after I bought them. I've already contacted NGC about the issue regarding this coin; hopefully, they won't take too long to get back to me

It is so noted. I'm able to see the other material, as you are.

Is anyone else having trouble getting into their accounts? I've tried signing in several times and this is what I'm getting in response: "An error occurred during your last request. The error was logged and will be reported to the webmaster automatically. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused and thank you for your patience."

Did you have any issues with adding your own '40 Lincoln PCGS MS67+ CAC to your set? If I win that '40-D, I'll be asking NGC to correct the point value; it is severely under-valued when compared to the '40 and '40-S..

That was an error on my part, I'm bidding on the '40-D and '40-S Lincolns...

I just bagged the PCGS-certified 1940 Lincoln cent in the grade of MS67+ CAC, and there's a bit of a problem. I tried several times to add it to my set, and each time the system kicked it back and said that the certification number is invalid; this cant possibly be true as I verified the certification number with PCGS. As an aside, this coin was part of the Birdwatcher Type Set and was most recently sold in the November 30th 2021 Stacks Bowers auction.

Yes, I am. Though there's 7,000+ points between our two 1940 sets, it isn't in my nature to give up.

Indeed. I've got bids out on a '40 and '40-S Lincoln; both are in the grade of PCGS MS67+ CAC. These coins were part of the Red Copper Lincoln Cent Set, the all-time finest set of the denomination ever assembled Once I have them in hand, I'll submit them to NGC for a cross-over (then to CAC to have the green beans restored).

As regards the 1964-D Kennedy, I swapped out my NGC MS66 specimen for one in NGC MS67 from the Executive Coin Company For this upgrade, the net increase in the point value for my 1964 Mint Set is 1,161 points.

As ever, your kind words are gratefully accepted. In regards to finding a '64 Lincoln in NGC MS67, that one will be more difficult to locate than an honest politician...

Three cheers and a tiger for me. The lead of my 1964 mint set doth continue to increase, as I was just successful in swapping out my '64 Kennedy in NGC MS66 fro the same issue in NGC MS67; my thanks to Executive Coin Company in Ohio for facilitating the purchase.

Your kind words are gratefully accepted sir. After the '64 Kennedy, there's the '64-D Kennedy in NGC MS67. I have no great hope of getting a '64 Lincoln in NGC MS67, as that issue in that grade is scarcer than an honest politician (or the '40-S walker in NGC MS67...)...

Thanks for the encouragement and approval. Next up on my acquisition list is a '64 Kennedy in NGC MS67. As my present specimen is graded NGC MS66, this will net me a further 1,235 registry points.

I bagged that '64 Washington NGC MS67 quarter over on Great Collections and have added it to my 1964 mint set; my hold on the #1 spot doth increase....

Gentlemen: Your kind words are gratefully received. Nest up on my acquisition list is a 1964 Washington quarter in the grade of NGC MS67. My current specimen of this issue is NGC MS66, so my net gain will be 1,774 points.

Well, the transfer of the 1964-D quarter in NGC MS67 was approved a short time ago; my 1964 set is now ranked #1

You're very welcome, good sir. I'm not done just yet, as I've got my eye on a 1964 Kennedy half in NGC MS67; this one will further-cement my hold on the top spot.

I have continued my collecting efforts in other dates. Just today, I made a series of purchases that catapulted my 1964 mint set into the #2 position. Once I receive the 1964-D quarter NGC MS67 that I won on Great Collections, I'll be in the #1 spot. We likes this, my preciousss; yes, yess we does.

NumisMedia has the FMV for the '40 Merc in MS68 FB at $3,580.00

I strongly agree with you. I'm of the opinion that all three coins brought prices that IMHO, are less than what the grades would indicate. For example, the FMV for those two nickels exceeds $5,500.00 each, while the dime's FMV is $3,580.00

Update: As of September 4th, I've been outbid on the '40 and '40-D Jeffersons in NGC MS68 5FS, as well as the '40 Mercury in NGC MS68 FB.

IMHO, only the '40-S Jefferson in NGC MS67 6FS is properly valued, points-wise. the census for that issue in that grade shows 10 specimens, with just one (!!) higher. Point value is 2,807. The '40 Philadelphia issue in NGC MS67 6FS is under-valued (at 1,658 points) on the scale, as the census is 16/3. I have every expectation that I will be out-bid; Numismedia has the FMV for these coins in that grade at the $5,000.00+ level. I only bid $750.00 each so, If I actually win the auction, it'll be the steal of the year... Edit: I've already been outbid on that '40-D Jefferson; current bid is $1,050.00. Curiously enough, I haven't yet been outbid on the '40...

Great Collections has a 1940 and 1940-D nickel up for bids right now; both coins are graded NGC MS68 5FS. Seeing an opportunity (or so I thought), I put up bids for both of them. Then, I compared their point values to the specimens already in my collection; both NGC MS67 6FS. To my great surprise, the '40 NGC MS68 5FS is worth 1201 points (a full 457 points less than my '40 NGC MS67 6FS); the '40-D NGC MS68 5FS is 684 points, 90 points less than my .'40-D in NGC MS67 6FS. With the foregoing in mind, I'm going to let my bids expire and let someone else win them. I don't anticipate this taking very long, because the last time i saw these issues for sale in this grade, they went for a couple of grand each...

I've seen more than a few sellers on Ebay claiming that their coin is a high-grade MS piece, when it's actually a POS that looks like it got picked up off the street...
