If you go to your inventory, click the bar that shows coins with a price change.

I would like to see an added watermark or method used so that scammers can not download pictures and sell coins they do not have off of registry pics.
That method and protection would be Your credit card used to make the purchase...and the ensuing Fraud Case that would result in felony charges against the seller
Felony is a federal offense...punishable by prison sentence for the offender...and You get a full refund
Watermarks are optional by the seller to protect their photos...not a PCGS responsibility
I would like to see an "option" button similar to " Add these items to all of your existing sets which they match..." that would add true views and or your pictures to all of your digital albums. You would need the album's "Circular Frame" added to the coin certification inventory page. Like a "Fit TV and or your image to all albums". This would be a great time saver for those who have many registry sets with digital albums.
On 2/082020 I was Set Leader...and dropped nearly 2 dozen positions as "older" Sets were updated
On July 27th I went from 22nd to 4th when I added a coin that was approved
Today I'm ranked 25th
So in the spirit of friendly competion...it makes no different when You complete a Proof Set...as long as You start the Set ASAP
You don't need to worry...You can wait 1-5-10 or even 20 YEARS to add new coins and Your rank near the top is preserved
In what other competition does "just completing at You leisure" win back Your top spot??
Why doesn't COMPLETION DATE count in the Rankings??

I see a few modern proof sets with 20+ people who have perfect number 1 sets with 100% of the coins all grading 70, and you are one of them.
Your best bet for peace of mind is to be happy you are #1, along with the rest of the 20+ listed people you are tied with, and enjoy your coins.
And if You look at the All-Time Finest Ranks...You'll find INCOMPLETE sets that are preserved with a #1 ranking because they are "Retired Sets"
If Completion Date was a tie-breaker...those sets would drop to their proper place in the rankings
@Goldminers said:

It would seem that is and has been resolved...if You open up a Retired Set You will see it's true ranking - but the Retired Status retains the higher rank ( I cannot imagine a reason that is even a thing - Retired Set?)
Did they quit collecting once they got to #1 to preserve the rank?
Completion Date as a tie-breaker rule would resolve that and allow rankings to be assessed accordingly

My area of concern (options listed on your registry set page)
Items in Set Composite Print
What If?
Edit Digital Album Shop For Coins in This Set
Add Missing Coins to My Want List
Report a Cert That Should Match This Composite
I am a Kennedy collector and every time I use the "Shop for coins in this set" option, it lists coins that would upgrade my set but when you click on the shop button and the set match page comes up, many of the coins are not Kennedy's. There are foreign coins, different types of half dollars, ASE coins, coins when clicked on that are no longer available, silver coins listed in clad categories, etc.
If these coin listings could be purged say once a year it would help relieve needless searching. There must be a way that when a seller lists his coin for sale and misplaces it into a wrong set, that they can remove it.
Any thoughts?
I'd like to see the grade incorporated into the True View images.
It's also difficult to get your coins sized just right for the digital albums. This is because when you're zooming the coins in, the background color is white, it would be nice if you changed the background color to something other than white so you can see when the coin has "filled" the hole completely.
I think it would be nice to post NGC graded coins within the PCGS registry... for those loyal to PCGS and competitive nature of the registry I think NGC coins could be for display only ... I like the PCGS registry format and outline and it be a nice tool to track and view all collector coins (and to display them to the public as well). I understand that it would be more effort for PCGS to set up but somehow NGC does permit PCGS to be listed in their sets.
It will be interesting to see if the ANA registry ever gets kickoff using NGC registry engine. I assume that is delayed beyond this year

Hi. This is a pet peeve and pie in the sky to ever wish for, but it burns me to see an 1853 XF Seated dime is worth as much in registry points as my VG 1873-cc and G6 1874-cc combined.
I have all of the toughest coins certified, some even in middle and upper grades but have certified few of my common dates. This affects ranking and points quite a bit.
PCGS wants to make it fair to those that don't have the key dates, but it doesn't feel fair seen from the other side. I generally enjoy the coins and forget the ranking, but when I think about it, I don't care for it.

The value of a coin changes depending on the demand...someone who is desperate to add Your coin to their collection is apt to be willing to pay more than someone else who has 3 of them
PCGS prices are just a guideline...check the magazine for bragging rights auction prices and compare those to the price guide and You'll see what I mean
Typical pricing is about half of PCGS value at a dealer...but list a rare coin on eBay and hope for a bidding war and You might just be able to finance Your grandkids thru college
I'm waiting for the day when the high bid on eBay for a 2014 Kennedy Gold coin is at $4.50 with 15 seconds remaining in the auction and I'm the only bidder who realizes it...but I seldom hold My breath when I do a search...I can do without it
Here is an interesting statistic regarding the Classic Commemoratives. There are 306 collectors (that's a lot!) of the 50 coin set on the PCGS Set Registry and 100 collectors of the 144 coin set on the PCGS Set Registry. Of those two sets, 66 collectors have completed the 50 coin set and only 16 have completed the 144 coin set! The way the 50 coin set is set up by PCGS, the least expensive type coin is treated the same as the most expensive. For example, the Grant with star is equal to the Grant without star. As a result there is no incentive to purchase the better coins unless one is fully commited to the 144 coin set. Few are! Collecting a 144 coins set can be both tiring and overwhelming. Perhaps PCGS should consider a commemorative coin date set to create more interest?
I feel NGC is more realistic on awarding points to detailed coins.
PCGS is way to harsh.
Not everyone can afford high grade scarce coins but can find a nice detailed graded one.
But you get overly hammered in your registry score.
Maybe PCGS should parse detailed coins into let's say 3 categorys
Some are really nice, some ave. And some very harshly cleaned
Give more credit for the nice ones instead of treating all the same.
Thats fine.... make it simple, if its sold, have it auto released, or prompt them, to say yes or no to releasing it.
I couldn't agree more. Something needs done. As I've stated in other posts, I've gone through the whole " request, wait, send pictures " routine 60 to 70 times over the last couple years. This is the ONLY issue I have with our hosts. The rules state " request, wait 3 business days, take pictures, etc. "
Good luck on a weekend. Sometimes taken a week from receiving a coin to being able to enter it in my set. Not the end of the world, BUT. If you sell a coin, it's no longer yours. REMOVE IT from your inventory.
Rules state failure to remove a sold coin can cause your set to be removed from Registry. Well, that rule is not being enforced. To our hosts, I say FOLLOW THE RULES.
I dont sell, but if one has to do 3 things after selling a coin, that is too many. Sold is sold, and I would think that unless predetermined settings are changed, if you mark it sold, everything else should be automatic.
If you've sold it (not pending payment), why wouldnt you want it to be marked sold, be removed from your active inventory, and the certification number released?
I don't sell either. I did sell a few that I had upgraded. Buyer ( local guy ) had no intentions of starting a Registry set. Removed from my inventory before they left my possession. The way it should be done.
OK, this is really nitpicky, but change "The United States of America" to "USA" in the regions our of consideration for screen real estate when displaying this field.
I still like to see NGC coins permitted in the sets ... maybe different point structure for those chasing points ... but it would be nice to see what most sets are ... a mixture of slabs
OMG ... My Mother was Right about Everything!
I wake up with a Good Attitude Every Day. Then … Idiots Happen!
Not sure I agree with this one. No offense, just my opinion. I know ATS now allows a mix of both. However, IMO there is a disparity in grading between the two TPG's I really don't think an MS66 from one service is always equal to a MS66 from another service. Emphasis on " always " If they were they would both trade at the same price, which we know doesn't happen.
I would be open to a separate category of mixed but I'd like to see PCGS only continue. Maybe I'm biased or different but none of my sets are mixed.
It's still going on so I'll say it again- In a number of registry categories some people are still allowed to clog up multiple positions in the available five spots of "All-Time Finest" sections. That should not be allowed.

".... No offense, just my opinion...."
None taken ... just different views ... One thing NGC does that I appreciate is with they have 2 recognition awards where one is based on just the NGC portion of the registry. So they basically have 2 awards for each set - 1 for total points and one for NGC graded only. In case in a top rated set of100% NGC you win both awards for a given set. This might be in the pattern of you your thinking. In any case I am sure PCGS will not stray.
It will be of interest to see how the ANA registry will shape up (NGC is developing that for the ANA)... if and when it roles out ... I think Covid threw a wrench in on the timing.

Back on the first page I advocated for the inclusion of NGC into the registry, even as you note, if only for viewing purposes and not for awards. That is the reason I use the NGC registry and not the one here, collectors should not have to be restricted to one brand of plastic imho. However I do not ever expect this to happen. As to the ANA registry it will start out pretty much a copy of the NGC registry to start out from the comments I have read so far, I was sad to learn that it will not include ANACS holdered coins. The main difference seems to be what the awards will be.
The last couple days I couldn't get in at all on my computer... dozens of times I checked the box to say I was human....but no Captcha pictures showed... today the same thing... but if you keep clicking, you once in a while get a pic to draw a box around the larger airplane... they don't mean larger airplane, they mean larger picture... and then when you do that, it takes you back to having to click on the human box dozens of more times...
I wish this would get fixed... I visit dozens of other sites with Captcha and this is the only one with problems...

How about letting enter OUR coin we just bought into OUR registry set. Make the selfish jerk prove he owns it!
Do You know which set has it registered? Do You know the reasons the coins was sold? Why would Your seller even sell a coin registered to someone else? Have You even asked the seller?
Information is key - and it seems You would rather simply rant whine moan groan and complain rather than try to discover the truth
Or are You simply attempting to degrade another collector who may have passed away and didn't leave details about his Set Registry maintenance to inflate Your own ego
If You want to guarantee that You will never again need to do the Request Release procedure...there is a simple way to do that...
Buy raw coins and submit them for grading Yourself
@HashTag said:

To which someone who currently owns a coin would say, "make the selfish jerk prove he bought it!" To make matters worse, someone could also harass another collector, especially going into competition cutoff dates, by "stealing" lots of their coins.
And as long as You give proper consideration before You insult someone You don't know and don't have reason to degrade...because You really still do not know the reasons requiring the Removal Request
Think before You judge and You'll do fine
Just be sure to update Your final wishes so those left behind know how to handle Your Set Registry...
Because You won't be able to respond with insults to anyone who refers to You in the same way
Your comments should have been made to the Seller who sold You someone else's $5K coin...because the Seller did not own it...and that Seller is now passing the buck to resolve the issue You are having
But this does bring up a possible resolution I was just thinking about that might resolve this before the next purchase...
Have You ever used the "What If" feature of the mobile app to see the results? Does it respond with a Removal Request if the coin is already registered or give an alert to that effect?
Just food for thought before You run into this problem again...because that option (if available) might just resolve this for everyone
Knowing that a Removal Request will be required before You buy a coin is enough reason to think before buying
What I would like to see especially on newly created modern registry sets, is a requirement to have to list the tracking code which would show the shipping date and the delivery date. This would so help eliminate those out there that post coins to their sets without having ownership or the actual coin in hand as required by PCGS. If the coin is a show / store purchase, a photo copy of the bill of sale with an invoice number. These would also help relieve some of the requests to have a coin removed from someone's inventory. I like to see what set the coin is from and where and when the coin was added to that set. You might be surprised.

To which someone who currently owns a coin would say, "make the selfish jerk prove he bought it!" To make matters worse, someone could also harass another collector, especially going into competition cutoff dates, by "stealing" lots of their coins.

Your "selfish jerk" comment is sufficient to allow everyone to determine who You intended to degrade
Which is why You need to take a step down from Your high horse and deal with it like everyone else

And as long as You give proper consideration before You insult someone You don't know and don't have reason to degrade...because You really still do not know the reasons requiring the Removal Request
Think before You judge and You'll do fine
Just be sure to update Your final wishes so those left behind know how to handle Your Set Registry...
Because You won't be able to respond with insults to anyone who refers to You in the same way
Your comments should have been made to the Seller who sold You someone else's $5K coin...because the Seller did not own it...and that Seller is now passing the buck to resolve the issue You are having
But this does bring up a possible resolution I was just thinking about that might resolve this before the next purchase...
Have You ever used the "What If" feature of the mobile app to see the results? Does it respond with a Removal Request if the coin is already registered or give an alert to that effect?
Just food for thought before You run into this problem again...because that option (if available) might just resolve this for everyone
Knowing that a Removal Request will be required before You buy a coin is enough reason to think before buying

What I would like to see especially on newly created modern registry sets, is a requirement to have to list the tracking code which would show the shipping date and the delivery date. This would so help eliminate those out there that post coins to their sets without having ownership or the actual coin in hand as required by PCGS. If the coin is a show / store purchase, a photo copy of the bill of sale with an invoice number. These would also help relieve some of the requests to have a coin removed from someone's inventory. I like to see what set the coin is from and where and when the coin was added to that set. You might be surprised.
