    Third times a charm, exactly why this board was created.

    dbldie:

    Would prefer not to see ebay spam here. Offer coins at fixed prices. With Copernicus this time.

    Greg, I don't like it either, but that is why this board was created. Wondercoin was not allowed to sell on the US Forum, so he had them create this forum with the specific rule that you can sell here. This coin is being offered for sale here too.

    I don't get it. Seems self explainatory to me...

    Buying and Selling Policy

    The PCGS Set Registry is to be used to list collections of coins and is not to be used to sell coins. Listing a coin(s) with the intent to sell it and/or pricing a coin(s) in the registry will not be accepted. The set registry is self-policing. Should you see a infraction of this policy, please report it to setregistry@collectors.com.

    Maybe I'm missing something. Some can, some can't. In the click = can. Not in = can't. Because I seem to be missing it, whatever (it) is, I've asked BJ for an interpretation.

    I'm not trying to toss a wrench into the system, but it should be... What's fair for one, is fair for all.

    DAM, what you quoted was written for the actual PCGS Set Registry. People were registering sets there and using it as a way to sell coins.

    New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.

    kranky,

    I noticed it didn't mention the forum by name, rather the Registry. I didn't see anything else that addressed the Forum so I thought (yeah, the deadly use of your brain that gets you in trouble more times than not) maybe it was covered under the same rule. If not I expected someone, like yourself, to enlighten me. image

    Thanks!

    If I recall correctly, this issue was discussed at length and the members here decided that if the coin was of registry quality, it was okay to post here, even if it was an eBay listing. I think an MS70 probably meets the definition of registry quality.

    Russ,

    If I recall correctly, this issue was discussed at length and the members here decided that if the coin was of registry quality, it was okay to post here, even if it was an eBay listing.

    I believe that's where the problem lies. When did the discussion take place? Zebra18 joined Aug. 2002. Since there doesn't seem to be any information provided governing what can be posted here, how is he, or anyone else, to know?

    What gets me is how it seems some can post and others can't. The one's that can't usually end up with their rearend being torn off. Rightfully so if they've been told before, I suppose.

    The discussion has taken place about once every three months or so, since I started reading the forum---and always with the same conclusion---which, basically is that anything related to registry quality coins (including links to eBay sales) is fair game. As is stated earlier in the thread, there are some newcomers. Perhaps the posting guidelines should be on the PCGS web site somewhere.

    Here's a link to last week's discussion on the subject. I got a little firestorm stirred up over posting a similar thread, and won't do it again. I'd rather not generate the ill will, that comes from posting items for sale, although, it is a registry quality coin. I guess from what I've read, they call it the buy sell and trade forum for a reason. If we allow everyone to sell here, it will degenerate into a few discussions, sprinkled in amongst ads, but, that's my opinion, only, and that and a buck, will get you a cup of coffee image

    quattrocoins: You have it right! If it is trully registry quality, building them, buying them, selling them, collecting them, is to be done here.

    We have been around and around on this. If it is an Ebay sale mention that in the title. That said Zebra IS OFFERING THE COIN HERE FIRST!!!!! EXACTLY the way even the most anti spam member has asked. O.K. he didn't give the price but he said it was for sale here first. Did the critics actually read the post?

    Personally all the negativity has driven me away from posting much of anything. It really is to bad. I wonder how much registry info we are not getting because of members being driven away?

    My only question is What constitutes registry quality? There are a lot of common date low grade coins in the registry. That would tend to imply any PCGS graded coin it technically "Registry Quality". A lot of collectors and registry participants cannot afford the high grade, key date, low pop, ect ect ect coins.

    Some collectors even seek out the lowest graded coins they can find.image

    What collector in their right mind would do such an outlandish act to their collection.
    They would have to be mad, totally, unredeemably mad I tell you.

    Do the math, looking at my computer, the first page only, 40% of the threads are about selling one or more of your coins. There are another two posts about whether it was right to post them here or apologies. This isn't a heavily posted to forum because of its narrow scope. The anger generated in here by these posts amazes me. Those that criticize this practice and don't like it should think about coming up with some threads that will stimulate interesting comments. I am not buying coins for a registry set, buy many if not all here are and I don't see harm in posting them here, given the dearth of other threads.

    What coins are registry quality, I dunno but the information and postings done by the hardworking people who are on a coin budget are just as interesting to me as those that have succeeded financially in life or have lots of plastic to spend on them. I'd prefer to hear stories about how people are putting together or have put together their sets (even the mercs). These guys and gals have some interesting discussions.

    "What constitutes registry quality?"

    "A lot of collectors and registry participants cannot afford the high grade, key date, low pop, ect ect ect coins."

    "Some collectors even seek out the lowest graded coins they can find."

    "To each their own, especially when coins are involved."

    So any coin in a PCGS holder is ok to post on this board for sale? Who determins what is registry quality?

    quattrocoins,

    Everyone says registry quality coins are ok but no one can define the term Registry quality. That is my only point.

    Bill,

    You missed my point!

    One last question:

    Does it have a PCGS cert. #? image

    quattrocoins,

    I got ya. So if it is in a PCGS slab IT IS REGISTRY QUALITY and thus can be posted here for sale.

    everyone has the right to collect what they want..i get that..but why spend any kind of $$ at all on a 2002 coin even if it is ms70...i say what a joke...i would much prefer to collect low end coins if budget was an issue, but low end coins with low pops that are truly worthy and interesting, and in low grade if need be..
