Revenant

Would PMG be willing to add a set in the Zimbabwe registry for either:

1) P-99 to date (including the Bond Notes (P-99 and P-100) and the new 2019-2020 series notes.

2) P-101(?) to date, with just the new $2, $5, $10, and $20 notes (so far) for the new series from 2019 and beyond?

I'd prefer option 1, just because that would give us a competitive set that includes the Bond Notes and because the Bond Notes are still being honored / circulated with the new series notes because of the supposed "cash shortage."

I was previously told no on a new set for the Bond Notes when it was just the two bond notes from 2016-2017, but, now that we could have a set with 6 notes / slots (and possibly more, depending on how this goes) I thought it worth a shot to ask again.

I totally understand that, though the weekends are often the time when I find time to make noise.  

Thanks for getting it all taken care of.

You can type your Cert # into that slot, you will get a not valid for slot message, PMG will see that you tried to enter a Cert # review it and then if valid the'll add that Pick # to the slot along with your note. Usually only takes 24hrs for them to add your note and they'll send you a confirmation email when it's done. See Ali's response to me further up the string.

LOL, I just did this again for one of my sets a few minutes ago.

Yeah. I tried entering it into the slot but didn't see the language I'm used to where it said it was in the admin queue, so, since I've been doing other posts about these sets here I thought I'd just make sure it was on the pile.

On the set / category:

Banco Central de Venezuela, 2000-Date, P84-Date

Slot ID: 10,000 Bolivares 2007-2017 Issue (formerly VENUNL10000a) P98

Why is the score assigned to P98a lower than the score assigned to VENUNL10000a (snipped below). Aren't they the same thing? P98a is 194 points in 66 EPQ and VENUNL10000a is 272 points in the same grade.

Venezuela, 1940-Date, P31-Date, Complete

https://notes.www.collectors-society.com/registry/notes/public_sets.aspx?CategoryID=1235&SetTypeID=9550

Slot ID: 2 Bolivares 2007-2016 Issue P88

Cert # 2506666-072 (The note I want to add)

My problem in a nutshell is I want to add a P-88e but the slot is only set up to accept P-88a and P-88b.

Interesting, I hadn't heard of this. Is the premium for the serial number combinations only tied to Chinese notes or do people in China pay a premium for notes with those numbers no matter the country?

It's a pretty big deal over there on everything. My company is working on a 4th gen product. The first gen was the 101, followed by the 2nd Gen 201. The current products are the 300, 301 and 303 (different tech base than the 300 and 301, which the new product will replace). There's been talk that the 4th gen unit may be the "302" or something else specifically because a "401" would not sell in China.

Currently there's four categories in the Venezuela Registry.

The Banco Central de Venezuela, 2000-Date, P-84-Date is the closest one to what I'd like to see but it includes P-84 through P-87, which are part of an earlier run of notes and I think they're still Bolivars (Bs, ISO Code VEB). The rest of the set (P-88 to P-100) are the Bolivar Fuertes series (BsF, ISO Code VEF)

Would it be possible to remove the four slots for P-84 to P-87 from this set so it's just Bolivar Fuertes notes?

Also, would it be possible to get a new, separate category for the Bolvar Soberano Series (BsS, ISO Code VES) - P-101 to P-111 (I think).

I just realized that this old thread was updated for the 2020 awards... When did this happen?

I've been waiting for and looking for the big announcement. Did i miss something or did PMG go super low-key this year?

Anyway... Glad to see it continue!

Has PMG considered following suit with NGC and giving award icons and PDF certificates to the winner of each category? Are there just too many categories on the PMG side that are "non-competitive" for lack of a better phrase for that to be worth it?

I'm wondering because I'd always assumed this wasn't done here because of the lower level of participation on this side of the aisle but you cited increased participation as the reason for increasing the number of major awards this year.

That's interesting / cool. I think this is the first year  you'll have the cut-off and the announcement for PMG and NGC on the same days.
