CarlWohlforth Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I have a neat 1956 proof set I'd like to list. All 5 coins are Ultra Cam. Two are in NGC holders. An image of the superb dime is attached. I also have an original, matched 1907 proof set. But that one is of lower grades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmarguli Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I hope not. I'd hate to see the NGC registry have as many stupid "sets" as the PCGS registry does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradedollarnut Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 I've suggested to NGC previously that they have an "On the Way" and "Pending" area, where we can see what is being actively worked on and what is in line to be worked on. Right now none of us have a clue what is in the works and it's kind of frustrating. While I don't want to make my coin purchase decisions based on a Registry, the fact of the matter is that I get more enjoyment out of my coins if I can share them with others. Therefore, I will tend to buy coins I know are allowed (or are on the way) and can be displayed. So far, no early proofs, so I'm shying away from buying them.

mark Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 TDN: I note that NGC has a registry set for state quarters, so you can now feel free to start collecting them. In truth, I understand 100% your motivation for wanting to show off your coins. It's just so neat to be able to see your coins! You can rest assured that your efforts have enhanced my numismatic pleasure and that of many others, also. I am hoping to acquire a reasonable digital camera so that I can take pictures of my coins and post them. I have some patterns that I think are nifty and I'd love to have them posted somewhere. have had zero success with scanning them, so I can't have worse success with a digital camera.

snizzenfixit Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 have had zero success with scanning them, so I can't have worse success with a digital camera. Mmmm, I wouldn't bet on that. I am not a master scanner but it is leaps and bounds more effective for me than digital pics. Every attempt I have ever made to photograph coins has proven me pathetically inept.

gmarguli Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 And SBA's!!! I've got some rainbow toned SBAs that look really nice. The rainbow color takes the focus off the coin design, so it is almost acceptable. Almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradedollarnut Posted October 16, 2002 Share Posted October 16, 2002 If I ever ran across one in circulation, I could almost keep my expression from reacting like your icon. Almost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dog97 Posted October 23, 2002 Share Posted October 23, 2002 Hey yeah I second what CarlWohlforth says and disregard what gmarguli says. I spend thousands & thousands of dollars just on 1897 & 1997 coins, both Proof & Mint State and some of them are in NGC slabs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
