Hi This is just a quick 'hello' from South Africa. I mostly collect South African Union coins (1923-1960), but I am a tiny, tiny fish in this big pond. I just discovered the registry and like-minded people. It's not always easy to discovery fellow coin collectors without attending shows, so it's nice to find this forum. I added my coins to the registry, but the scoring is somewhat difficult to understand. For example, my 1926 tickey (MS63) has a score of 1,223, while my 1951 half penny (MS 63 RD) has a score of 24. Oddly enough the half penny is worth more in my opinion as it's the only one of two graded red, 2nd finest known. The tickey, although a beautiful coin is only 4th finest known (population 96). I assume the colour variety (and population count for the colour) is not taken into consideration? Great to be here, Thanks. Jaco EDIT: PS, Apologies, I think I posted this at the wrong place...
