Do you use individual coins in more than one Registry set ?

[Fergie]

Hi folks

 

Just curious what your own preferences are and thoughts on this.

 

So far my own scheme is to use my individual coins in only one set.

 

Thanks,

Fergie.

Considering I am doing 1976 coins and Ike Dollars, I am using the 1976 Ike Dollars in multiple sets. MS Ike dollars did not strike well and finding MS66-67 coins are difficult and expensive. If I find a high grade Ike dollar, it's going in both registry sets.

 

But that's my preference!

Thank you for the reply ScottB,

Good, thats the thoughts I'm looking for.

 

I am just simply curious and do not want to start any kind of debate.

So everyone please feel free to let us know how you do it.

Thanks, Fergie.

I use coins all over the board. Some coins are in 3 or 4 sets.

I just have my jeffersons and only use them in the proof dates. I haven't even looked to see what other registries they may fall into. Thanks fergie, you may just give me some initiative to scatter them all about!

BUT IT only counts as ONE coin in all sets ... I believe you do not accumulate points posting in as many sets as you can find !

 

I may be wrong but not usually

I'm not sure what you mean or how it works. I would think that if I started another registry, I put one of my existing coins in another registry to that new registry that it would compile points in the new one. But it would be like starting a new registry and would still have to add coins of that registries set type. Did I make any sense at all here??

[Fergie]

I believe your total reg points remains the same regardless of how many times a single coin is registered.

[MunkyMan95]

Not true.

 

I used to only use my coins in one set. Then, a member gave me the idea of stuffing a bunch of coins into a Type Set. I did Auto-Build Best Set, and nearly doubled my registry points.

[Fergie]

So, you can have 500 points in set A, and another 500 points in set B, but your total in NGC will still be 500 pts for those coins.

[Fergie]

are you sure ?

[MunkyMan95]

It happened for me... But Type Sets may be an entirely different animal. Take Proof Jefferson Nickels for instance. I could use them in the Proof Jefferson nickel set, and a type set. Assume that combined in the two sets the total is 1,000 points. If I were to want to put the Jeffersons in a proof set (ex: 2004 proof set) then I do not think I would get extra points for that.

 

Does that make sense?

[Fergie]

I see, so you got extra for the type only , right ?

[bsshog40]

Well I decided to start another registry of MS jeffersons. I have a MS67 1965 that gave me 366 points right off the bat but no numismedia value. 2 MS jeffersons and I'm already in 24th place. Not bad!

[Fergie]

YEEEHAAA

 

Thats fun

 

Did you use a coin twice ?

 

And if so did it increase your total points ?

 

Fergie.

[bsshog40]

No, my other set are proof jeffersons. This one is MS. I don't think there's a jefferson registry that takes MS and PF.

[Fergie]

thanks,

I am very dense. Seriously, it can take alooonnggg time for my brain to process some things. ( me waiting for my private realizations to occur )

 

 

Hey, bsshg40, why don't you do a 38-64 jeff MS set ?

 

Fergie.

The earliest graded jefferson I have is a 65'. These jefferson's were a fluke for me starting them. Don't even know how I got started.

When you use a coin multiple times, the TOTAL REGISTRY POINTS takes the highest value that a particular coin received. For instance if a nickel gets 10 points in a date/series set, but that same nickel gets 15 points in a type set ... the TOTAL wil be based on that nickel being worth 15 points and not 10+15 points.

 

At least this has been my observation.

This is kind of on the subject but not. What’s to stop someone from just trying to get points for their registry, if someone really wanted to, they could just search ebay, look for the 70’s, copy some numbers and than add that coin to their registry. I know, what’s the point, but there are some really weird people out there!!! Any thoughts, thanks!!!

[al_e_gator]

I'm sure it has been done before and people can get away with doing that until that coin gets registered by another person, which then it may become a dispute that NGC would have to settle as to who owns the coin. If the coin never gets registered by the true owner, then it can stay on someone else's registry, although falsely.

There is really nothing to stop anyone from doing that and I would bet that it happens more frequently than many folks would guess.

I use cons in more than one registry set. If you think about it, IMHO it does not make sense to buy three of the same coin for, say, a 20th Century Type set, a mint set and a denomination set which all require that specific coin.
