Lancek Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 02/09/2020 10:33 am I recently listed three pre 1900 British Sovs on ebay. One I've sold already, one I just got an offer on this morning and one I haven't sold or had any offers. I have no plans to build an award winning registry. But I like putting coins I have in there, just as a way to keep track and inventory them. Today I got an email from NGC saying someone was trying to register one of those three Sovs. I first assumed it was the one I sold. No big deal. Happy to release it and let the new owner register it. But it wasn't. It wasn't even the one I had an offer on. I go out of my way to take pics of the confirmation number and add it to the listing. So people can easily confirm these are real and so are the slabs. Is it common for people to try and steal those numbers and add my coin to their registry? The optimist in me wants to believe maybe somebody just typed in the wrong number. Are there repercussion for people who try to add coins they don't own to their registry?

While it's not common there are people that do try and do it probably hoping for the rewards. Technically it's a form of fraud. Quote: The optimist in me wants to believe maybe somebody just typed in the wrong number. You have a better chance of winning powerball twice than that being just the wrong number. The first part of the cert with NGC is unique to your submission, the second part is unique to what number in the submission the coin was. So someone would have had to have messed up the first number to land on your submission then have that exact same coin at that exact same grade in the exact same spot in your submission to not notice they messed it up. Quote: Are there repercussion for people who try to add coins they don't own to their registry? That's up to NGC but at the very least you would probably be wise to alert them so you can have the coin you own removed from the set Report this Post to the Staff
Lancek Valued Member United States 442 Posts	Posted 02/09/2020 7:07 pm No, the coin is already in my registry. Someone else was trying to transfer it to theirs. NGCs email was asking me if I had sold the coin. It then gave me two options. "Accept" or "Reject" the transfer. Report this Post to the Staff
