Tradedollarnut Posted September 30, 2002 Share Posted September 30, 2002 I was considering purchasing a proof 1855 arrows half until I looked on the type Registry and saw it wasn't set up. So I passed, even tho I liked the coin very much. Somehow, that seems wrong. The Registry should provide an incentive to purchase coins, not a disincentive. At the same time, I recognize that it's a lot of work to put up all those scores - many of which may never be utilized. But I have a solution: Allow proofs in all categories. Do a quicky initial setup with 1 point entered in all grades, all types. This allows the collector to put the coin up. Then, as coins are put up, focus on those specific types to figure out what the values should be. This will limit the time and energy spent by NGC to the specific coin types that require the work. This will make everyone happy with the least amount of cost!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldtrader3 Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 I have an Arrows Proof (a 1873-P) Proof 63 dime in the Registry. I guess some have been set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithdagen Posted October 1, 2002 Share Posted October 1, 2002 Ouch am I disappointed. Do you mean that you only buy coins based on Registry standing??? Should have bought the coin, then lobbied for inclusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradedollarnut Posted October 1, 2002 Author Share Posted October 1, 2002 I knew I was gonna get flack on that one! No - I was on the fence on rather to spend the money or not. Lack of Registry inclusion just tipped the scale toward no. So far my lobbying has not worked (I think because of the work involved - not a philosophical problem). That's why I came up with this idea. The points mean less to me than the ability to show the coin - If I can post the coin right away, I have no problem if the points come later.
