<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1335834, member: 29751&quot;]Beginning sometime in early 2012, each coin in the NGC registry will be assigned one value regardless of if it is placed in a Type Set, Series set, etc.&nbsp; What you have detailed is true, and NGC will be working to assign a coin a registry points value across all sets it can be a part of.&nbsp; See link here for more details:&nbsp; <a href="http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=4960881#Post4960881" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=4960881#Post4960881" rel="nofollow">http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&amp;Number=4960881#Post4960881</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As for &quot;gaming&quot; the system, what Chris said is correct.&nbsp; Within a type set or a series set (or whatever else), all &quot;registry sets&quot; are playing by the same rules.&nbsp; For example, in a 7070 set, you are not going to blow anything off of a classic 19th century stacked set with modern issues.&nbsp; The classics still get higher points than the moderns.</p><p><br /></p><p>The crux of the different scores in different sets has been the different ways that people choose to collect type coins.&nbsp; Essentially, are you trying to collect the key coins in your type set, or the coins of the highest level of preservation and exhibiting the most details for the type?&nbsp; After NGC makes their changes, the individual coins in type sets will be scored the same way they are within their respective series.&nbsp; Thus, a beat up 1893-S Morgan dollar will score about the same as an MS67 or MS68 1880-S Morgan.&nbsp; Because it&#039;s a &quot;game&quot; and people have different collecting goals, you can&#039;t make everyone happy.&nbsp; Luckily, not too many people really care all that much.&nbsp; Most of the modern sets on both the PCGS and NGC registries are owned by big money LLCs or corporations anyway.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
