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
