NGC verify coin website page, "I own this coin."

Joe_360

When you verify coins graded by NGC on their website, there is a button that let you select, "I own this coin."

I don't see that option on our host website, does it exist? Is it hidden somewhere? If so, where?

If not, seems like a nice option. Does anyone here use the NGC I own this coin? If so, what happens?

I just noticed this but have not try as of yet. Thanks in advance.

I don't know that PCGS has the exact equivalent. However, you can simply register your coins on the PCGS site, and you don't need to have a registry set to do so, nor do you need to publicly display that you have registered them at all.

The NGC ‘I own this coin’ function is simply a way or fancy name for saying that you want to add it to your inventory or registry.

I will not use that function. The coins I own are my business.

This is an interesting topic. I've noticed happening a bit more lately I'll get a notification a coin I definitely own is being "claimed" by another member. I have to click "I still own this coin". It happened a few weeks ago and then again just a week ago on two lowball coins I find hard to believe anyone would attempt to claim (each is a pop one).
The problem arises if you don't respond to the email after a set period of time- perhaps three days- the coins are transferred to the person claiming them.
I don't always check my email and it would be frustrating to find a coin I own and registered with PCGS was transferred because I didn't respond soon enough.
It should be the person claiming the coin as their own provide a photo with a current date backdrop or something along those lines.

This is the information from pcgs on removal request and a link to the page. There is some stated steps and discretionary stuff for pcgs.

Removal Requests
Should you attempt to add an item and you receive a message telling you that the item is currently owned by another member, please submit a Removal Request by checking the appropriate box(es) on the notification and clicking the “Send Email” button. This will send an email and a notification to the current registered owner of the item asking that they release the item so that the new owner can add it. Your name will not be sent to the other member. Please allow three business days for the former owner to release the item. If, after three business days, the inventory item has not been removed, please submit personal, dated, images of the front and back of the item showing the full PCGS label and full PCGS holder. You can do so by clicking the Activity link within your Registry, then by clicking the “Upload” button directly next to the pending Removal Request. "Personal, dated" examples would be a picture of the item in front of today's newspaper showing the date or in front of the automated Removal Request email you received. Images taken from auction house websites, online sellers or cropped from other sources will not be accepted. Images must be clear, and all information must be legible. Blurry or unclear images will not be accepted.

We reserve the right to remove an item from your inventory prior to the three-business day requirement at our discretion. Items with an NFC chip will be automatically released if the new owner adds the item by tapping the NFC chip with their smart device. The item is automatically released and available for the new owner to add as they have the item in their physical possession. You have the option of “locking” your inventory for a limited amount of time, if your inventory is locked, an item within your inventory will not be automatically removed when the item is tapped by a device with an NFC chip reader. If you are exhibiting your items or you are selling them at a physical location, such as a collectible show, locking your inventory will allow your items to remain in your Registry even if someone taps the NFC chip. The “lock” will automatically be removed after the pre-set timeframe has expired.

Registry members are urged to delete their sets or items from the Registry soon after sets or items are sold in order to release the certification numbers for other members who may have purchased the items and wish to register them. If after 3 business days from receiving a Removal Request you have not deleted a sold item from your set(s) and inventory and your set is 90% complete or greater, your entire set will be retired. Contact Set Registry customer service to have your set reinstated to active.

You can track your submitted and received Removal Requests, along with other pending requests, by visiting your Activity page while logged in to your PCGS Set Registry.

That is their policy. I’ve tried to register Coins that I purchased that the seller never removed from their registry sets. The seller was giving two or three days to release them, after they were contacted by PCGS, and if they didn’t; I was asked to provide a photograph.
