My coin in someone else's registry

AnkurJ · November 18, 2010 9:46PM

I started a basic date capped bust half set yesterday, and one coin I have owned for over a year was popping up in someone elses registry! I double checked and I have the coin. I submitted the email request form for the other person to remove the coin. Has this happened to anyone here?

The guy might be the previous owner and he forgot to remove it from his registry when he sold the coin.

YES.

If no change after a few days scan the front and rear and email PCGS Registry, they will remove it so it can be added to your inventory.

I am STILL waiting to insert the new seated dollars that I bought because they haven't been removed from the seller's inventory. He just sold his entire collection at auction.

I remove coins from the registry when they go into my trade stack, when I still have them, to avoid this problem.

Oops... just noticed someone had already mentioned sending the pictures.

It does happen quite a bit. You did the right thing bringing it to PCGS' attention. Let the group know how things shake out.

Me and you both - but it just updated, and now is added to my registry. Did yours too?

Nope! I guess I will have to send another email.

Here are two possibilities:
1. When the seller sells the coin, they wait until the new owner received it and was happy with it. If the coin is returned, then no harm no foul. This was the old owner has the proof of ownership and serial number for tracking.
2. If a coin is sold at auction, the same thing applies. Only with auctions such as teletrade, etc, it may take a few weeks for the seller to get paid. Until then this is his slight insurance policy. Ray

don't forget possibiity

3. A well made cointerfeit coin and slab with copied numbers from the real coin

Has been resolved. Had to send front and back images to PCGS.

This has happened to be a few times; no problem, I Xerox the coin on top of today's newspaper;
then I scan the Xerox to customer service at PCGS along with the request to remove the coin from
the other registry set.

In lieu of blanking out the certification number on expensive slabbed coins that I sell, I always add the coins to my registry and 9 times out of 10 forget to delete the coin from my registry after its sold. However, each time a delete request comes to my email, I delete the coins promptly.

I'm sure I'm not alone in my practices.

Not at all. I do the same.
