NGC Registry: Why is my Coin "non-competitive; for display, only?" 1 1

[Ali E.]

There are many factors involved when making the decision to mark a coin as non-competitive in a competitive NGC Registry set. Whether or not a coin is marked as non-competitive is carefully considered by our senior team on a case by case basis. These factors may include low mintage, availability in the marketplace, and an unusually high price in relation to the other coins required to fill the set. We aim to make 100% completion and/or the ability to achieve top rank attainable for our average collector. If a coin is "non-competitive," then it may be displayed in your competitive set, but it receives no score and does not count toward the percentage of completion for the set.
