<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1577496, member: 24633&quot;]Both PCGS and NGC have had their Registry programs for quite a while, and the SSDC (Society of Silver Dollar Collectors) just started their Registry program not too long ago. While the SSDC Registry program does permit authenticated, yet uncertified coins, both PCGS and NGC require only certified coins. PCGS will allow only PCGS-certified coins and NGC will allow, both NGC &amp; PCGS coins (except for their World Coins which must be NGC only).</p><p><br /></p><p>In most cases, the PCGS &amp; NGC Registry sets are competitive. Points are assigned based on grade and rarity, and annual awards are given to the best set in each category. Probably the biggest disappointment as a result of these competitions is that many of the best sets do not include photos so that others may view the coins. The owners of such sets are only in it for the glory, and don&#039;t really care. I&#039;ve suggested on several occasions that PCGS and NGC should deduct points from each coin if photos are not provided. Maybe if this was instituted, the glory hounds wouldn&#039;t be so snobbish. If the coin snobs are adamant, perhaps it would give those Registry Set owners who do like to share their coins with others a chance to garner some of the awards. Deservedly so!</p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
