Isn't any PCGS-graded coin a potential Registry coin? Does it have to be a pop top to be bought, sold, and discussed here? Does it have to be condition census? Whose census?

What about raw coins or NGC-graded coins that are eligible to be graded by PCGS and therefore eligible to be placed in the Registry? Can these be bought, sold, and discussed here?

Is this forum superfluous?

Essentially, yes. That's why allowing "PCGS registry coins" to be bought and sold on this forum, turns it into another BST forum.



<< <i>Does it have to be a pop top to be bought, sold, and discussed here? Does it have to be condition census? Whose census? >>

No, no and N/A.



<< <i>What about raw coins or NGC-graded coins that are eligible to be graded by PCGS and therefore eligible to be placed in the Registry? Can these be bought, sold, and discussed here? >>

Discussed? Presumably yes. Bought and sold? No.



<< <i>Is this forum superfluous? >>

That depends upon who you ask.

At least two of us have Registry sets consisting only of ultra-low (AG03 or less) CC Morgan dollars... which is my way of pointing out that high grade coins aren't the only ones Registry collectors are looking for.

Will I'm doing my Kennedy's in 66 so I guess I consider those a Registry coins.

Of course ... even for those of us who maintain registry sets outside of PCGS because of botched set definitions or totally ignored sets.

Essentially ... Yes!

I think if it is in a pcgs holder you can post it.

RYK

Even this?

Thanks, MOC. I haven't had a good scolding from you for at least a couple days.

Here's an NGC coin for you to chew on:



Nananananana!

Real collectors know how to value a coin no matter whose holder it is in (or raw) and do not rely on the holder to add value.

Thank God we have collectors who are strung-out on certified coins!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then tell us Ryk, why did you recently send in a bunch of NGC coins to Pcgs for cross over? Same reason everyone else does $$$$$$$$$.

The money plays a very small role in all of this for me. Unlike some folks, I am not constantly hawking coins on the BST and ebay. My wife and I have jobs that compensate us adequately such that I do not have to "play coin dealer" on the side. I buy coins for my collection that I like to keep in my collection, no matter what holder.

When it comes time to sell or trade coins, I realize that there are a few slab trophy hunters out there that prefer coins in PCGS holders. They are so bought into the game and the marketing and the hype that they barely look at the coin.

This is the thread to which you are referring.

RYK

You just have Russ sell your goods!!!!! How do I spell hypocrite?? (could you help me Ryk)

Hypocrite, let me see...

M-A-N-O-F-C-O-I-N-S

Of course I sell coins. Every collector does. Some even sell baseball cards.

RYK

You can have the last word. I will remain on the high road.

RYK

You are correct. I am not treating you with the respect and reverence deserving of someone who is #1 on the All-time Washington quarter registry. My most humble apologies.

RegistryCoin

The BST is just for buying, selling and trading. The registry forum encourages discussion, such as this thread, as well as simple buying and selling. The two forums have, in most cases, different audiences.
In time, after "extremes" are explored, the two forums will serve their respective purposes.

<<How does one define "PCGS Registry Coin"?>>

Technically, it's any coin in a PCGS holder because any coin in a PCGS hodler can be put in to one or more of the PCGS Registry Sets.

The term "PCGS Registry Coin" has an objective answer -- the term "PCGS Registry Quality Coin" is subjective as some feel only certain calliber PCGS coins ought to be allowed in "Registry Sets"

Just my 10 cents
