I recently decided to try and add the 283 silver world coins I have in my custom set (THE GLOBAL SILVER COIN COLLECTION) to competitive sets so I could get registry points for them and see how I rank amongst other collectors.

After going through each coin, I wasnt able to find a spot in any competitive set for 1/4 of my coins (73 silver coins). I did however end up ranking at #1595 but would be much higher if I could receive points for all of my coins. I really wish there was a way to receive registry points in custom sets (of course barring duplicates).

Also I noticed some odd points being giving to some of my coins. Coins that are much more rare, older and valuable are being issued less points than those more common, newer and less valuable. Such as:

1. My 1976 MS 67 Ike Silver Dollar which is valued at $90.00 received only 205 points, while my 1972 PF 68 UC Ike Silver Dollar which is valued at $27.50 received 248 points?!

2. My 1987 MS 69 Silver Eagle which is valued at $65.00 received only 220 registry points, while my 2013 MS 69 Silver Eagle which is valued at $60.00 received 237 registry points?!

3. My 2005 PF 70 Silver Roosevelt Dime which is valued at $50.00 received only 201 registry points, while my 2008 PF 70 Roosevelt Silver Dime which is valued at $42.50 received 320 registry points?!

4. My 1989 MS 68 Panda valued at $85.00 received 404 registry points, while my 2002 MS 68 Panda valued at $80.00 received 489 registry points?!

Maybe someone can explain to me how this works? Should not a more valuable and rare coin receive a higher amount of registry points than one worth much less and more common?
