Since you can acquire a certification number (just say from an ebay sale post) and go to verify the coin and hit I own this coin and add it to your set and remove it after you win. There is no verification of winning sets being what you have entered as owned. Just saying a cheater is a cheater and will always find a way to beat the system. Rules only keep honest people honest, crooks and cheaters don't care. I couldn't guess how widespread, but I'm sure that could happen. Over the past 3 years I've submitted raw and sold the coins as certified later. Generally I add each to my "Own the Coin" section after grading is completed so I can release it to the new owner once it's sold. Of all the coins sold, I've only gotten the automated request to transfer a coin to the new owner a few times. That alone implies there's far more collectors not using the registry than are. Even had a guy contact me 8 months after a sale asking if I still had the original photos because the coin was stolen. I sent those to him and told him to create a registry profile so I could even transfer the coin to him. That way if a transfer request came through in the future he'd be able to track down where his stolen coin was. But he didn't and it's still showing in my competitive coins, though not in any sets.

I think this issue is less a problem with NGC coins and more an issue with PCGS graded coins. NGC can verify if another NGC member has the coin that is being added, but they have no way to know who really owns a PCGS graded coin, I could pull any PCGS graded coin out of any inventory, auction, or even another registry and claim it as my own. As long as it verifies on the PCGS verification page and nobody has it in a se here its good to go regardless of who owns the coin. I suspect this happens rather often.

erwindoc Posted January 8, 2021 Share Posted January 8, 2021 Thanks! I had forgotten about the older version of the registry! Funny to look at how certain sets of mine are heavy NGC and others are PCGS weighted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ray, USMC Posted January 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 8, 2021 All my registry sets are 100 0/0 owned and all are NGC graded. I own a lot of certified coins and have never sold a coin in my 60 years plus collecting. Long before TPG's existence. My personal choice is, has and always be NGC and I say that because I have been collecting NGC certified since they first started. I think there will always be ways to cheat and manipulate the systems in place but I have always found true collectors to be truthful and honest people. I enjoy the banter and information from this forum but I tend to read and observe than take part. NGC has, by far, the best customer service people, the wonderful people at the registry section are always friendly and helpful. All that being said I would like to thank all the wonderful people that make this forum interesting and vibrant. I would also like recognize and congratulate all the registry winners this year, sincerely. As we all know it take tremendous effort and dedication to the hobby to put sets of any kind together. Celebrate your efforts and dedication to the entire coin world. Congratulations to one and all, you all deserve it. erwindoc, The 12th Denticle, Fenntucky Mike and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I digress. I very much agree with you on this point, I love that NGC allows PCGS coins into the registry. But I think that when it comes to the awards those PCGS coins should receive a zero score and the awards should be biased on NGC coins only. Not just for this reason but hey this is the NGC registry after all, and in my case it would cause me to lose an award or three so I do have some skin in the game on this.

Star City Homer Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Agree with the NGC only for awards, which affects me not at all in terms of awards given or things my sets are competitive with. I didn't add my first registry set until after the PCGS option was removed from the world sets, and anything US I have (I don't keep track) is very, very far off the top tier set. Because PCGS coins are not allowed to compete in my 'good sets' I like to think I have an unbiased opinion (). That said, I have learned to appreciate some of the differences in grading between the two (at least for the coins I see, and sometimes I'll cross/try to cross things just to see what happens). There are some differences so IMO PCGS registry should award PCGS coin sets, and the NGC registry should award NGC coin sets. It's lovely to have a place where a mixed set can be shown off though, and makes me wonder whatever happened to that photo hosting site Stacks bought--it was great for showing things off but I can't even remember the name anymore. Also, not sure what the status is of the ANA project--hopefully it will expand to world coins too someday. Maybe it's time to look them over seeing as I just got my annual request for dues.

For what it's worth, I work with a group that has to order several plaques every year and it usually takes about a month after we make the order before we get the plaques. Then we have to make arrangements/ get them sent.out or distributed. We wait a month to get like 5-7 plaques. I can only imagine what kind of wait time NGC and PMG get when they're hitting some (likely, small, local, business with a combined order for about 60 plaques. Given this, I find their turnaround with the plaques to be surprisingly fast most years - jaw dropping fast some years. If you read my journals on the PMG side I already have my Best Present from them - it arrived before March 1st. The fastest I've ever gotten a plaque from them. But, as I said there, I'm sure the addition of the coins is adding another layer of complexity on to this in addition to just having more than ever to send.
