Any plans for a British coins registry?

[pendragon1998]

PCGS has it, will we ever get it? I want to stick my britannias in something besides a signature set.

Michael,

 

I sure hope so! NGC is known for world coins much more than PCGS, so i'm surprised it hasn't happened sooner! I posted this question to the 'ask NGC' forum, and JoiseyGirl (NGC employee) asked for suggestions for new competitive world sets. I guess they are going to do more this year, and are looking for input.

it does seem weird that NGC is more reknowned for world coin grading yet has so few registry categories for worlds.....I think Britannias and mexico onzas too...maybe some Mexico gold coin categories also...some of those britannia and mexican coin designs are stunning

Hello...NGC? Pretty pretty please?

It would be nice to have registries for pre-decimal British coins such as Florins, Crowns etc..

[pendragon1998]

I mean, c'mon - how long would it really take to set one up...an afternoon? Compare that to the revenue generated by people who get their British coins slabbed so they can participate!

[Oldtrader3]

Actually the decimalization attempts of the U.K-Florin, half Crown and Crown should be more important to the overall numismatist community than they appear to be. Why these sets do not have their own registry is beyond me, considering their cost and scarcity.

Dooly and Michael, I think that we may be outvoted? However there is a growing number of Great Britain and Commonwealth coin collectors who would probably support a much higher base of submission for grading if there were denominational and type registry sets to motivate these collectors. I personally have a number of pre-1945 silver Florins back to 1849, which I would have certified if there was a registry to place them in.

There is still a demand for a British coins registry section

[Guest Joiseygirl]

This is currently in progress.

[Oldtrader3]

Are you going to include Florins? Is so, I will send mine in to be certified.

[Guest Joiseygirl]

Yes, we will be including Florins.

[Oldtrader3]

Thank you again, Dena.

This is currently in progress.

 

I'm on pins and needles!

My shillings aren't really worth enough to send in to be graded, but a British registry set will be cool. If you have a shilling type set, that is :thumbsup:
