Fyi, this 1817 beauty of a half-sovereign is in the upcoming January 9 NYINC auction: https://coins.ha.com/itm/great-britain/world-coins/george-iii-gold-proof-1-2-sovereign-1817-pr63-ultra-cameo-ngc-/p/3105-73001.s?ic4=ListView-Thumbnail-071515 Have fun collecting them, I also want to save up for one of the full sovereigns from either 1817 or 1819!

NGC has a great-looking registry set compared to PCGS, and indeed NGC is more inclusive and collector-friendly because they accept graded coins by both companies (it will be interesting to see if they continue this policy when CAC starts grading coins next year). PCGS has superiority in registry sets in one regard: a collector can "retire" a set and it will still be listed in the "All-Time" rankings of the registry if such recognition has been earned -- i.e. a collector's efforts at building a set can still be seen long after the set is disbursed to others, or the collector ascends to the next kingdom (e.g. it's so cool to see Eliasberg's sets). Does NGC plan to create this "legacy/retirement" ability on their registry for collectors?

Echoing others -- please add capacity for more than two photos, so that we could show holder, closeups, toning, etc. Might also be really nice to have a link on 'My Registry Profile' page to a "Custom" or "Showcase" or "Favorite" set so that visitors can peruse whatever you consider to be your pride & joy collection with that one click.

Hi Morpheus - if those are your sets above (with your name) then you deserve some Krugerrand Kudos!

NGC's Registry is more aesthetically pleasing by far, thank you for that. -- the eye appeal is greater than other registries that might look like barely more than basic excel spreadsheet rows -- when looking at one's own list of Competitive Sets we see 'Set Name' in bigger, colored font with the 'Composite Name' in smaller, black lettering underneath; this was an excellent decision, along with the rank number beside it in italics and bigger point-size -- when looking at a set itself, it's great that a large 'profile photo' of a coin can be placed at the top of the page, along with the title of your set in bigger letters again, your name underneath, when it was last updated and number of views also easily viewed under collector's name and set title, then a few lines of the collector's comments with option to '...Read more...' -- it's great to see two larger photos of the coin first (i.e. 'Images' is the first column), then the slot description, grade, points, etc We only joined ANA & NGC less than three years ago and slowly reading through and learning more about the wealth of wisdom available within the community chat boards, forums, journals, etc, not to mention all the resources NGC makes available under each tab at the top of its web pages! Much appreciation to all of you teachers and your sharing.

Coinbuf, Love your AccuGrade holder for the 1901-S Morgan, a nice piece of history also!
