NGC Registry Releases “Circulated Coins Only” Category

SARASOTA, Fla. (July 22, 2013) — Numismatic Guaranty Corporation® (NGC®) has launched a new “Circulated Coins Only” category for the popular online NGC Registry. The Circulated Coins Only category accepts NGC-certified coins graded AU 58 and below.

These sets recognize that many collectors prefer to complete sets entirely with coins that were used in commerce. The scoring system is the same as for traditional NGC Registry sets, but Mint State coins are not accepted. Set types are listed for every major category of classic United States coins.

“We continue to expand and improve the NGC Registry based on collector feedback,” says Mark Salzberg, Chairman of NGC. “After more than a decade, the NGC Registry is more popular than ever, and we think that the addition of Circulated Coins Only sets will be great news for collectors.”

Established in 2001, the NGC Registry allows collectors to display their coins online and compete for awards and recognition. It has since become the largest online community of coin collectors with more than 80,000 registered sets and nearly 3,500 set types. The NGC Registry is available for free at the NGC Collectors Society website.
