<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 671542, member: 15309&quot;]The idea behind the registry is to give collectors a way to compete against each other.&nbsp; In the NGC registry, each coin has an assigned point value based on the rarity of the issue.&nbsp; For example, an 1893-S Morgan Dollar in VF is worth 2233 points whereas the 1881-S in MS68 is only worth 2102 points.&nbsp; The person with the most points for that type of set is ranked 1st and gets an award at the end of each year.&nbsp; Coins with special designations like the FS (full step) designation on Jefferson&#039;s get a point bonus over there non full step counterparts with the same grade.&nbsp; In the NGC registry, star designated coins also recieve a significant bonus.&nbsp; Here is a link to my NGC Jefferson Nickel Registy set which is currently 54% complete and ranks 6th.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/MySets_Listing.aspx?PeopleSetID=55274" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/MySets_Listing.aspx?PeopleSetID=55274" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://boards.collectors-society.com/signatures/signature.php/NGC/set/55274/sig.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>For those collectors that do not enjoy the competitive aspect of the registry, NGC offers the choice of designing your own set with your own rules.&nbsp; These sets are called signature sets and there are awards for the best signature sets at the end of the year as well.&nbsp; Here is my signature set that pits the Battle Creek collection vs the Great Falls collection in a game of basketball.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/ViewPersonalCollection.aspx?UserCollectionID=1436" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.www.collectors-society.com/registry/coins/ViewPersonalCollection.aspx?UserCollectionID=1436" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://boards.collectors-society.com/signatures/signature.php/NGC/sigset/1436/sig.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this helps you understand a little about the registry system.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
