I followed Ali E.'s suggestion and emailed the registry address (registry@ngccoin.com) and received the following reply:

Dear Stephen,

Your request for NGC certification 1974035-034 has been declined by NGC.

Admin Comments: Our graders have determined that this coin is not eligible for the competitive NGC Registry. You may, however, add it to your Collection Manager and create a custom set for it at Collectors-Society.com. Thank you.

 

As a newbie, I'm not really sure what that means. I suspect that the registry is actually a coin database where people get to compare their collections against others' and see who has the nicer collection. Judging by this, I'm guessing my coin probably isn't worth enough to bother with.

I'm not terribly worried about it - I'm not looking to compete; I just want to make sure that my coins are actually authentic.

I'm interested to hear any info anyone else may have on this topic. Thanks, everyone!

While adding a coin to my registry, I was presented with an error message:

This coin cannot be added to your inventory at this time. We will review this coin and you will be notified of the results.

SHIPWRECK EFFECT

Erm… anyone selling?

Howdy, I’m new to collecting and looking for my first few 8R coins. Thought I’d start here and avoid the possibility of buying counterfeit examples.

Thanks in advance!
