I don't like collecting by date or mint at all. I don't get any enjoyment from a dansco of Lincolns or Morgans or whatever, it just doesn't interest me to have 50 or 100 of the same design. I'd much rather have a few interesting and special examples of each design so that every coin feels more "unique" in a sense. I dunno if that makes sense. Report this Post to the Staff

usc96 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 07/10/2020 5:08 pm Congratulations! Haven't been active on the NGC registry since they decided no more PGGS coins, I do remember enjoying the process when I started. While this type registry is broader than my collection (I prefer the 7070) it appears I did start one once, and even after all these years it is still have number 70 on that type set registry: https://www.NGCcoin.com/registry/co...sets/140323/ Report this Post to the Staff
usc96 Valued Member United States 291 Posts	Posted 07/10/2020 7:44 pm Sad to think my kids and I probably would have finished our Type Set had NGC NOT made the corporate decision to ban non-NGC graded coins. It's their business, but the way they went about it was a huge turn off to many involved. NGC lost a lot of good will with their short sighted decision. I understand they realized it was a bad decision years' later, but those intervening years put the fire out. Report this Post to the Staff

Heymikep Pillar of the Community United States 824 Posts	Posted 07/11/2020 12:40 am Congrats on your set! I went in and updated my Seated half dollar sets and then I noticed something. I am ranked 5th for a couple of different sets but the #1 and #2 were so far out of reach I started to wonder how they got that high. I realized the 1st and 2nd place were actually dealers/business owners and they have sold many of their coins from those sets (I know because I have bought some and have seen many on ebay). How can NGC give awards to people who don't even have the coins they say they have? I decided to just give up on even trying to get any higher, it wasn't worth it when you are going against dealers/businesses. If NGC would require an annual confirmation of the coins in a set and they separate dealers from individuals then I would probable keep working on my sets. Report this Post to the Staff
