  3. Dear NGC. I have 16 coins waiting to be graded by NGC for about 2 months now. Almost all of the coins are intended to fill holes in my Registry Sets. The deadline to update sets is so soon and I do not think I will get certification ids by November 1st. Any chance there can be an exception? Not related to the previous question, but while I have your attention: Any plans to update UI of custom sets, User Interface there is very outdated, slow, and hard to use.
  4. I am very happy to be one of the major awards winners! I appreciate this recognition and very inspired to fill up more holes in my sets this year! @Ali E., there appears to be a bug in set representation as only first 50 slots are show on the awards page: https://www.ngccoin.com/registry/competitive-sets/awards/195528/ maybe worth to hide empty slots and only display filled one OR add second page with all 93 or so slots in the set? Thank you!

  8. After my short Registry experience here are a few notable wishes: - Ability to contact other Registry members. I prefer to be contacted and contact people with mutual Numismatic interests. - New Award for the best type set. - Better Onboarding experience for new users. It was a bid hard to get started with my set and then add coins to it. Maybe instead of forum requests to create new sets/slots can be moved to individual coin view? - Ability to filter Best Collectors rating by Country and/or set category. This is due to: I am not really interested in people who collect coins from all over or modern stuff. But I am interested in people who collect coins from same country and era. - My understanding of the point system is almost nonexistent, but it seems like people who are collecting types of coins that are easy to find and people who collecting coins with NGC population - 1-2 specimens, should not be rated on the same scale. Collectors who own dozens of coins (valued thousands each) are much more interested to me than collectors who managed to assemble set of US state quarters. Rating systems are there to differentiate beginners and average hobbyists from the top. So, I guess it would be nice if number of graded coins (population) would affect numbers of points particular coin add to the collection. Higher the population = more common coin is = less points for the collection.

And more Stolberg coins being graded by NGC right this moment.
  10. I keep hearing about this fancy NGC Registry Sets functionality and years after functionality been introduced I still do not see a single registry set for coins from Stolberg counties of Holy Roman Empire (German States). On October 2019 when I requested Stolberg sets to be added to the registry, NGC replied: Do we have updates when is this promised "future"? Why NGC cannot simply create an individual sets with all 1/48, 1/24, 1/12,... and so on Thalers issued by Stolberg county? There is nothing custom about such set. You guys keep working on registry sets for coins that cost pennies on a dollar comparing what people who collect Early Modern Period spending on their coins. I want to see other people's Stolberg coinage finally and compete with those people. I am pretty sure other collectors who collect coinage of different German States want the same for our hobby. P.S. Sorry for the rant I will keep complaining every 1-2 years until you guys finally invest some resources in your IT and Software department. Numismatics is sooo behind in a today's world of SaS, Smartphones, and an App for everything... Too bad that NGC is barely moving instead of leading the way.
  11. Almost year after this post, time came to submit second batch of coins for grading. I wrote long email to NGC asking them to share guidelines in which cases and how Details grade is assigned, and even talked to NGC representative over the phone... but not much luck on both fronts. Some information for those of you who will endup reading this forum threat while looking for information: it's possible for cleaned coin (especially old ones) to get numeric grade https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-grading/details-grading/, but so far there is no "1, 2, 3..." criteria has been published. Light old cleaning might get you numeric grade, harsher cleaning that affects appearance of the coin in question likely to result in details grade... unfortunately, I think at the end of the day it's up to NGC employee/s judgement to assign either or. While googling for information, I found this old forum thread with rare official NGC response on details grade which gives us some insight: I just wish NGC would post education videos or articles on Details grade similar to: As for me personally, I ended up submitting next batch of coins hoping that light old cleaning will not get in a way of getting numeric grade.
  12. Hello. Always looking to buy coins from Stolberg counties of Holy Roman Empire (Stolberg, Stolberg-Stolberg, Stolberg-Rossla, Stolberg-Wernigerode). Interested in higher grade well preserved coins with most details intact VF+ and up, but will consider all offers. Coins graded by NGC or PCGS are preferable, but not required. As long as you see my collection publicly available online https://www.instagram.com/silver_stag/ search remain ongoing.
  13. Howdy folks. I collect coins from a small county of Holy Roman Empire. Most of the coins intended for circulation issued by theis county would be at least 300 years old today. The problem I'm facing is that many coins on the market from that era are cleaned or polished. What I do not understand, is that some obviously cleaned coins get numeric grade and some Details - cleaned. For instance, MS61: and UNC Details: I just got another 5 raw coins I plan to add to my collection, and I would say 4 out 5 them with visible chaotic hairlines on the fields. Will all those get Details grade, or there are some sort of criteria that grading companies follow when they decide which coin gets a nail in the coffin?
