<p>[QUOTE=&quot;smullen, post: 211548, member: 5165&quot;]No, not really... </p><p><br /></p><p>Well, that depends... The way it works is, If someone gets a coin slabbed, it doesn&#039;t really get registered anywhere public other than the Cert Number, the grade and date of cert, not who owns it...</p><p><br /></p><p>If someone adds it to the Registry and then sells it, the propper thing to do is for them to remove it, so the new owner doesn&#039;t run into issues adding it to their registry set... </p><p><br /></p><p>However, this doesn&#039;t always happen and it is unusuall...&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>From what I&#039;ve seen, (on NGC&#039;s Registry, where I have mine) if you are working on a registry set, and you go to add a coin and its already registered to someone else&#039;s Registry set, you can (via e-mail or forum post) request that they remove it and then you can add it...&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Works pretty simple...</p><p><br /></p><p>They try to contact the previous registrant... If he doesn&#039;t reply or replys with some argument, they may ask for proof that you own the coin...</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m sure this could be exploited, but I&#039;ve not heard of it yet...</p><p><br /></p><p>Like I said, its pretty uncommon (but not unheard of).... At least 85 % of my coins in my few registry sets have came from Ebay with the rest comming from a local coin show or a local coin dealer (Scotsman Coin)... I have not had any issue up to this point with adding NGC or PCGS coins to my sets...</p><p><br /></p><p>One other thing about the different registry sets...</p><p><br /></p><p>You can add PCGS coins to the NGC, but PCGS, will not let you add NGC or any other to their registry... So thats why I started mine there as I have many of each...</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not trying to start debate on TPGs, I just thought the above was a valid tip to be added to the conversation...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
