Question about Registry points for Matte Proof Lincoln cents

[chinook]

The 1909VDB Matte Proof is widely regarded are the Key coin in the series and auction prices bear this out. However in looking at the registry point chart the 1916 gets more points that the 09VDB in many grades and designations. For example in 66RB the 09VDB will get you 3817 pts while the 1916 gets 4141. The 09VDB will cost you 3-4x than the 1916.

 

How factors are considered when derviving a numerical value for registry points?

 

Does NGC view the 1916 to be just as rare and valuable as the 09 vdb?

That is a frequently asked question.

I think there may be a place on here some where you can request a score review. Hope this helps.

Truly, I believe there are cases of the registry system being out of touch with the reality of the coinage.

Thank you board members.

 

I was hoping for a response from NGC.

I think that it's time that they posted a help wanted sign since any questions seem to be placed on the back burner indefinitely.
