Liberty Seated Coinage – Open Set Registry
Welcome to the Liberty
Seated Coinage Open Set Registry for certified and uncertified (raw) coins.
Many Seated coinage collectors are building noteworthy sets in grades ranging from Fine through Mint State and may be excluded from displaying their sets on the PCGS or NGC registries due to exclusive certification requirements. Certification by either PCGS or NGC does provide for consistency in grading and allows for effective set competition, but the concept can be made more inclusive. After considerable feedback on the topic of a registry format for all collectors, a certified and uncertified Liberty Seated Coinage set registry is being established with the following goals;
1. Provide an inclusive registry for collectors to showcase both their certified and uncertified coins within Seated coinage series
2. Increase awareness for Seated coinage in circulated grades and the important sets that can be built
3. Allow participants to compete against each other for top Liberty Seated coinage sets and advanced set rankings
The Guidelines.....
1. For all uncertified coins, grades submitted by members must be based on industry standard grading guides like Photograde, or the ANA Grading GuideBook. Grading will be a "Scout's Honor" situation and the registry administrator (Gerry Fortin) reserves the right to question and reject submissions if it is believed that the submitted grades or claims are inconsistent with the spirit of this registry.
2. The administrator may ask for scans or digital images on a random basis to ensure the consistency of submitted grades.
3. Coins certified by PCGS, NGC, ANACS, SEGS and ICG should be identified accordingly during their submission. For coins in other grading service holders, simply submit the equivalent uncertified grade.
4. Cleaned coins should be net graded as honestly as possible. Please submit a net grade for coins that are not deemed original.
5. Participants of the Liberty Seated Coinage Open Set Registry are encouraged to become subscribers to the www.seateddimevarieties web-book. This set registry effort will be manually administered, therefore I hope to support those individuals who provide aid to the web-book effort.
