<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Coinsandmedals, post: 3800365, member: 107435&quot;]I understand your point and somewhat agree, but I wouldn&#039;t say I pay a premium or discount based on the plastic but more so the coin. A premium coin is going to command premium money. With that said, most of the premium coins in NGC holders end up well beyond my reach. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>At one point, I thought I cared about the competitive sets, but then I quickly realized that I didn&#039;t care about competing.&nbsp; I just wanted to showcase my collection in a manner that helped spread my passion and knowledge. The custom sets allow me to do that. I do, however, see the allure of competing. At some point, I will likely put forth an effort to construct &quot;competitive&quot; sets just because they seem to garner more attention, which is needed if I hope to pass along what I have learned over the years. I have &quot;competitive&quot; sets now, but they were haphazardly thrown together and should likely be deleted. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have never had any real issues with NGC recognizing a variety. I am in touch with them at the moment regarding one they failed to list on the holder despite me requesting it, but I have no reason to doubt that they will correct the issue. When I get my submissions back, and I get a chance to take some pictures, I will post about another experience I recently had with them. </p><p><br /></p><p>Are you talking about their variety catalog or the price guide based on Krause?&nbsp; I have not contacted them about the price catalog, but that is because Krause was, in general, a train wreck when it came to early milled patterns, and this translated to the NGC price guide. Don&#039;t get me wrong, Krause is decent for general information given the breadth of their scope, but the English and Irish pattern sections are horrid. Although I also cannot say much for the Spink publications either in that regard, so maybe this is just inherent to pattern coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
