lcs1129 Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I have the same points as other people but I never tie or reach the same place, Please advise. Lew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revenant Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 If your score is the same and one set has pictures / descriptions and the other doesn't the set with them will rank higher. The ranking system rewards putting effort into presentation / display. Ali E. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcs1129 Posted December 31, 2019 Author Share Posted December 31, 2019 All is equal and description is not asked. Why not rated with equal points? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Revenant Posted December 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2019 It's all explained in the registry FAQ (see attached screen shot). Look at the screen shot of your #2 ranked set vs all the #1 ranked sets. You all have 44 coins and the same score and 44 images. They have 44 coin comments / descriptions and you have 6, so you rank lower. Crawtomatic, Jade Collection, Ali E. and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revenant Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 It's worth noting that there's no assessment in the quality of the comment description in the ranking. You can just put "PF 70" or even just "BLAH!" As long as there is some kind of text there it shows as having a comment and you get credit for it in the rankings.

Kominsky Collection Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 So now NGC accepts PCGS coins for US Sets but get penalized for using them? It used to be that you could win best in Category if you used some PCGS but then you probably wouldn't get NGC best in category, Now you can't even get to number 1 if you tie the top scores). That's very disappointing. I liked the old way much better and 99 percent of my coins are NGC. Check Silver Eagles, 1986-Date, Proofs, Including Varieties. I'm second because I registered two PCGS coins. Not cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard that ludicrous suggestion until now. The old way: one award for Best in Category and another for NGC Best in Category served us well for many years. This new rule - if it's a new rule - is senseless. At a minimum this PCGS penalty should have been clearly stated at every possible chance, hell it should have been shouted from the rooftops. Rule changes cost some of us a lot of $$. No bueno! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is a tie in a set category, then the number of NGC coins does come into play: About the NGC Registry. Our programmers are looking into your rank in that set category. We will email you when we hear an answer. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
