Is there anyway to contact an owner of a registry set, about possibly purchasing a coin from them?

I've both contacted and been contacted by others using those links.
When a person replies, I assume it will be sent to my email address?

But if you offer "crazy money", I'll consider it

Yeah, if they say "no" or don't answer at all I won't mind.
It was a shot in the dark, and it never hurts to ask.

Is there a way to contact a coin owner by having the PCGS Certification Number?
I mainly collect raw Ancients, PCGS Mercury Dimes, and raw CSA'S... but have misc other sets...Jeffhttps://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/mysetregistry/set/215647https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/mysetregistry/showcase/8378
Nope. The best you can do is when you verify the cert it might tell you what set the cert is in if it is in a registry set, and that's a big if.
Think about how many coin owners (or previous owners) might be upset, if anyone who had the cert number could contact them.

Well... its happened before that I bought a coin that was registered and cone to find out that the seller just downloaded and used the pics of that coin and slab... I was thinking that since it is registered there would be a way to contact the owner ro see if it was really being sold, or another scam

How many people really have someone elses coins certification number

There are people who assemble fantasy registry sets using cert numbers they've found on dealer's websites and auction houses. Why that would appeal to anyone is beyond my understanding, but people do it. It's a real pain when you acquire one of these coins and the registry people have to release the cert to you.
How many coins’ cert numbers are easily viewed on the internet in a matter of seconds?

I believe the answer was already given that you can contact through the registry. For coins not in the registry, PCGS doesn't know who owns them.
I've looked at both the site and the app and the only way I can see to do that is by adding the coin to my registry... and it isn't mine... yet....

You can't add it to your registry if it's in someone else's. I'm confused. Is this coin in a registry set or not?
Tens or hundreds of thousands in Heritage and other auction archives.
When you try to add it, you can notify the person that has it registered

This is true... but I have a hard time thinking that someone will be copying and pasting certification numbers into an app so as to contact an owner for no good reason... especially if the person making the inquiry is registered in the app...

My response was to your question - “How many people really have someone elses coins certification number”. At the time you asked it, you didn’t say anything about “...but I have a hard time thinking that someone will be copying and pasting certification numbers into an app so as to contact an owner for no good reason... “.

Can't you just use the "contact" button on their registry?
I have received a few offers to sell me a coin for my mercury dime set.
However they never spell out the terms of the deal.
I didn't find it in a registry, the coin is for sale. The sale ends in 2 days. I got the certification number from the pic. If I could find the coin in someone's set, I could press the contact, but I don't know how to find what/who's set it is in.

In the registry preferences there is this below. So if not selected, then no.
However, if it is in a Registry set that is open, then one could leave a comment.
Could also be in the user's private inventory.

It may not be in anyone’s set then.

There is no way to get to a set to leave a comment if ya dont know what set its in.
I have a Certification number only... if I was browsing someone's set and found a coin ro comment on, I could make a comment... but I can't do that as I'm not browsing someone's set.

So it’s in someone’s private registry- I don’t think you will be able to find them
There is no way to know who owns it. PCGS does not know that I have any of the coins in my possession.
I understand that. I was responding to jmlanzaf and the quote (that I quoted) about using the 'contact' button. I was additionally letting him know that if it is in a set and the set is open then you can leave a comment in the set (I have been people do this but I would not). It did not have anything to do with your particular situation.

The coin is registered... so someone at least put it in their inventory... and ya have to register to do that.

Use the cert verification.
