Hi Ali, Hope all is well with you and your minions. I'm not sure if my last message got through, so I'm trying here just in case and please forgive me if I'm repeating myself (happens after too many glasses of Burgundy.) There is a new Registry Set, Niue - Silver $2, Lunar Series, 2021-2032, Proof, where the coins have slots in this subset, but not in the main set for those years. Example, 2907948-001 2024 Gilt Niue S$2 Year Of The Dragon, has a slot in the Lunar subset, but not in the main Registry Set for all coins of that year - Niue - Silver $2, 2024, Proof and Prooflike. The same for the other coins in the subset, 6310671-013 2022 Niue S$2 Chibi Year Of The Tiger, and 2891416-002 Niue S$2 Chibi Year Of The Rabbit, they do not have slots in the main Regitry Set for those years, Niue - Silver S$2 2022, Proof, Prooflike and Specimen and Niue - Silver $2 2023, Proof and Prooflike, respectively. Since all other coins have slots in their subset Registries (Silver $2 Disney 2014-Date, Silver $2 Chibi DC Comics 2020-Date, Silver S$2 Chibi Harry Potter 2020-Date, DC Comics, 2014-Date, Silver Issues, Complete, etc.), it just didn't make since the Lunar coins would be excluded from the main Registry Sets for their espective years. I also had a few slots needing corrections: 6594255-009 2022 Niue S$2 Catwoman - Chibi Batman Series, the coin is in the Registry Set Niue - Silver $2, 2023, Proof and Prooflike - it should only be in the Niue - Silver $2, 2022, Proof, Prooflike and Specimen Set where it already has a slot. In the Registry Set Niue - Silver $2, 2018, Proof and Prooflike, the slot Woddy-Disney Pixar Toy Story should be Woody In the Registry Set Niue - Silver $2, 2019, Proof and Prooflike, the slot Carnival Pluta should be Pluto In the Registry Set Niue - Silver $2, 2020, Proof and Prooflike, the slot Auror Gemstone - Disney Princess should be Aurora, the slot Plute 90th Anniversary - Original Buddies - Disney Characters, should be Pluto In the Refgistry Set Niue - Silver $2, 2021, Proof and Prooflike, the slot Alice - Alice In Wonderful - Disney Characters should be Wonderland, the slot Deathy Hollows Part 1 - Harry Potter Movie Poster should be Deathly, the slot White Rabbin - Alice In Wonderland - Disney Characters should be Rabbit In the Registry Set Niue - Silver $2, 2022, Proof, Prooflike and Specimen, the slot 101 Dalmations - Plantation should be Dalmatians, the slot Bumbleebee - Transformers should be Bumblebee In the Registry Set Niue - Silver $2, 2023, Proof and Prooflike, the slot 2023 Black Panther - Marvel - Classic Superheroe should be Superheroes, the slot Bevis - Beavis and Butt-head 30th Anniversary should be Beavis, the slot 2023 Captain America - Marvel Classic Superheroe should be Superheroes, the slot 2023 Detective Comics #7 - Comix should be #27, the slot 2023 Hahn Solo Portrait - Star Wars Trading Coins should be Han, the slot 2023 Qui-Gon Gin - Chibi Star Wars Series should be Jinn, the slot 2023 Qui-Gon Jin - Chibi Stars Wars Series - Gilt should be Jinn, the slot 2023 Shazam - DC Comics: Classic Superheroe should be Superheroes, 2023 Thor - Marvel - Classic Superheroe should be Superheroes, 2023 Wonder Woman DC Comics: Classic Superheroe should be Superheroes Cheers, Dan Hughes

Hi Ali, Just a Follow up to the above message, the Staff Of Ra coin is now appearing in the Indiana Jones Gilt Chibi slot (see attached pic) rather than having its own slot. Must be a Monday. Cheers, Dan

Hi Ali, I tried to put coin 6808186-018 2023 S$2 Gilt Staff Of Ra PF70 Matte into the following set: Competitive Sets Niue Silver $2, 2023, Proof and Prooflike The message came back that the coin is already competing in the set but there are no slots for it and the system wouldn't let me request a new slot? Cheers, Dan

Thanks Ali, and Happy New Year! I had thought of another potential new Registry Set for the future (when your minions have nothing better to do and need to keep busy ), would be a Registry Set for the Niue Trading Card Coins. Here is a list of potential slots: 2905787-003 2023 S$2 Star Wars Anakin Skywalker Trading Card Coin 2906203-001 2023 S$2 Star Wars BB-8 Trading Card Coin 2908620-005 2023 S$2 Marvel Black Panther Trading Card Coin 2906941-001 2023 S$2 Star Wars Boba Fett Trading Card Coin 2908620-006 2023 S$2 Marvel Captain America Trading Card Coin 2908713-006 2023 S$2 Marvel Captain Marvel Trading Card Coin 2907498-004 2023 S$2 Star Wars Count Dooku Trading Card Coin 2906222-002 2023 S$2 Star Wars Chewbacca Trading Card Coin 2907699-002 2023 S$2 Star Wars Darth Maul Trading Card Coin 2907699-003 2023 S$2 Star Wars Darth Sidious Trading Card Coin 2907498-003 2023 S$2 Star Wars Darth Vader With Light Saber Trading Card Coin 2908620-007 2023 S$2 Marvel Doctor Strange Trading Card Coin 2908713-003 2023 S$2 Marvel Drax The Destroyer Trading Card Coin 2906203-005 2023 S$2 Star Wars Emperor Palpatine Trading Card Coin 2907498-005 2023 S$2 Star Wars General Grievous Trading Card Coin 2908620-001 2023 S$2 Marvel Gorr The God Butcher Trading Card Coin 2905783-001 2023 S$2 Star Wars Grogu Trading Card Coin 2908713-002 2023 S$2 Marvel Groot Trading Card Coin 2905787-006 2023 S$2 Star Wars Han Solo Trading Card Coin 2908713-005 2023 S$2 Marvel Hawkeye Trading Card Coin 2908620-008 2023 S$2 Marvel Iron Man Trading Card Coin 2905787-005 2023 S$2 Star Wars Luke Skywalker Trading Card Coin 2906803-001 2023 S$2 Star Wars Mace Windu Trading Card Coin 2905787-007 2023 S$2 Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi Trading Card Coin 2906203-002 2023 S$2 Star Wars Obi-Wan Kenobi Standing Trading Card Coin 2905787-001 2023 S$2 Star Wars Padme Amidala Trading Card Coin 2905787-004 2023 S$2 Star Wars Princess Leia Trading Card Coin 2905787-002 2023 S$2 Star Wars Qui-Gon Jinn Trading Card Coin 2906203-004 2023 S$2 Star Wars R2D2 & C3P0 Trading Card Coin 2908620-004 2023 S$2 Marvel Scarlet Witch Trading Card Coin 2908713-004 2023 S$2 Marvel Star-Lord Trading Card Coin 2907699-001 2023 S$2 Star Wars Supreme Leader Snoke Trading Card Coin 2908620-003 2023 S$2 Marvel The Wasp Trading Card Coin 2908713-001 2023 S$2 Marvel Winter Soldier Trading Card Coin 2907817-001 2023 S$2 Star Wars Yoda Trading Card Coin 2906203-003 2023 S$2 Star Wars Yoda With Light Saber Trading Card Coin 2908620-002 2023 S$2 Marvel Doctor Octopus Trading Card Coin It seems like an age ago I was sending you these requests on a weekly basis. It's really nice to see the Registry grow as much as it has under your supervision. Have a fabulous New Year. Cheers, Dan

Hi Ali, Hope all is well with you and your minions I'm never sure if I'm doing this correctly, but wanted to request a new set category. It would be Niue - Two Dollars - Silver $2, 2024, Proof and Prooflike. Slot would be for: 2907948-001 2024 Gilt Chibi Lunar Series Year Of The Dragon Cheers! Dan

Hi Ali, Hope you are doin well. A couple items for your review. In the "Competitive Sets Niue Silver $2, 2023, Proof and Prooflike, the slot for 2023 Ant-Man - Chibi Marvel Series has the Gilt version being placed in it rather than the slot for the Gilt version 2023 Ant-Man - Gilt - Chibi Marvel Series. Example 2896853-2003 should be in the Gilt but it's in the non-Gilt slot. Also, would like to request new Registry Sets for: Ascension Islands, S5PND, PF 6777348-003 2021 Ascension S5PND Bonomi - Queen Victoria 6596286-019 2021 Ascension S5PND Britannia & Ascension Islands, S25PND, PF 6777354-025 2021 Ascension S25PND 5 Oz Bonomi - Minerva 6777528-020 2021 Ascension S25PND 5 Oz Bonomi - Queen Victoria Best Regards, Dan Hughes

The New Zealand Mint completely shut down its operations on August 17th of this year because of a covid outbreak in the country. Easier for New Zealand to do than most countries because it is an island nation. Yesterday they reopened and began shipping orders again. During their shutdown they were still taking orders on new issues they had scheduled for release. I had a concern because all of the coins I buy from the New Zealand Mint I submit, as soon as I get them, for the First Release label. I had hoped that NGC would push out the cutoff dates for the First/Early Release labels on the coins being impacted but just received a response that they will not be pushing back the cutoff date. For me, the coins being impacted are the Star Wars Baby Yoda (Grogu) Holiday coin, the Disney Holiday Coin, and the Chibi Deathstroke coin. There are other coins that were sold during that period that will also be impacted that I didn't purchase. With the cutoff date for these coins only 5 days away (Sep 27th) it's possible someone may get their shipment in time to submit in the mail before the cutoff, although shipments from New Zealand take a little longer to get here. I was hoping NGC would allow people to submit their invoice paperwork showing the date the coin was purchased and submit the coins in their unopened shipment box showing the date shipped. That would at least be a way to show the coin was bought before the cutoff deadline, even though it wasn't received in time to ship in for the First/Early Release cutoff date. Bottom line, if you collect First/Early Release New Zealand Mint Coins, there may be a very small population of the coins impacted from the New Zealand Mint shutdown, or potentially none at all.
