Why have some 8 Reales of Republic of Mexico been designated as non-competitive, for display only?  This is surely a mistake?

Hello, Karl49.

Thank you for the inquiry. There are many factors involved when making the decision to mark a coin as non-competitive in an NGC Competitive Registry Set. These factors may include low mintage, difficulty in obtaining/purchasing the coin, and an unusually high price in relation to the other coins required to fill the set. These factors are considered when our senior numismatic team makes the decision, which is done on a coin by coin basis.

We aim to make 100% completion of any registry set attainable for our average collector. If a coin you own is marked as non-competitive, we do offer Custom NGC Registry sets as an option to display all of your coins in the manner in which you desire. If you are interested in an NGC Custom Registry Set, please let us know, and we are happy to assist you. You may reach us at registry@ngccoin.com. If you have a question about a specific coin, please send us the certification number, so we may look into it. Thank you.

I disagree with this policy except in extreme cases, e.g. 1913 Liberty Nickel, 1804 Dollar, etc. 

I disagree too. NGC has no idea of the effort placed to find these coins, they just declare them not competitive. Feels like cheating.

Based upon customer feedback, further consideration, and research, we have decided to restore the handful of 8 Reales coins to "competitive." Thank you for the feedback in reference to these coins. Please let us know when we may assist in the future with the NGC Registry.
