Very cool... My Proof Roosies go from 37th to 27th for full set, and 22nd for 65+ set.

I think the writing was on the wall after NGC's decision to remove PCGS coins from the world coin sets. Although my registry points took a hit I still like this feature. Makes me more determined to put together an exclusive NGC set. I have to give NGC a thumbs up on this

It is a great feature but it sends most of my sets tumbling downward and my Ike set disappears!!

Ummmm... why didn't they do this with the world coin sets instead of just kicking all the PCGS coins out?

Good point on the PCGS world coins. For myself with predominately NGC coins almost all my rankings are improved because my collection is housed in predominately NGC holders. In the end this site is hosted by NGC, so why shouldn't they highlight coins in their holders? I find this an acceptable alternative to just giving PCGS the boot.

If NGC intends to "award" best set at the end of the year based only on the NGC registry points, then they should reinstate the allowance of PCGS World Coins. I don't really care about the points and rankings, but it was at least easier to keep track of world coin sets when both NGC and PCGS coins could be included -- and, I enjoyed looking at the pictures of the world coin sets -- some of which are now completely gone because of frustration with the short-sighted NGC decision made last fall.

Yeah this new filter is great but...
Being mainly a GSA collector I noticed that when I applied the filter to rule out PCGS that my rankings increased by 2 places. PCGS does not certify GSA hard packs. So how do several members get their PCGS in a catagory that only allows NGC? I know one can get a GSA hoard pedigree on the label of either TPG service but they aren't allowed in the "GSA holder Only" sets.
It's a shame that people feel the need to "cheat" for such a few points. Unpopular view but I'll be glad when this becomes a NGC only CS.

I'm respectfully replying to Muscle-Cars. I think everyone knows my feelings on the bad decision to remove PCGS coins. My question to you Muscle-Cars is how can it be considered "cheating" when until the decision was made last year to remove PCGS coins from the world sets, NGC ALLOWED both TPG in the sets???? No one was getting anything extra, no extra points were given to PCGS coins, no one had an advantage, plus NGC made the rule at that time to allow both. I'm sorry, this is not cheating. It is down to several people (and people is not the word I really wanted to use here) who complained so much plus NGC thinking about getting more crossover fees who in my few ruined everything. I'm sorry for disagreeing, but my freedom of choice has been taken away.

Bammer and others that may not be knowledgeable on GSA holders only registry sets.
I think it's great that everyone here has the right to their opinion but in this case more homework might be required. The "Morgan Dollar GSA holder Only" sets have NEVER allowed ANY coins except those gradedby NGC. The problem is due to a glitch or some bug in the Registry. The GSA holders are large black original govt packaging with a NGC band wrapped around the case; they are not and have never been removed from the cases. But the members I referred to as "cheaters" placed coins in these slots/sets that are NOT supposed there; now, the past or future.
Bottom line: PCGS has never been allowed in these sets because PCGS has never certified GSA hard packs. So when you put any TPG (including NGC) coin in the standard size "new" slab
into a slot clearly labeled for HARD PACK ONLY (OGP) and receive points that is CHEATING. I have no chance of ever being in the top 5 & don't care at all about total points but just enjoy seeing how close I can get. Also, Mr. Bammer you should never apologize for disagreeing. I do understand all the "hoop la" concerning the PCGS coins being removed but honestly it doesn't effect my sets so I pick my battles carefully.
