Why has this slot been taken away?

A few weeks ago, I was looking at my Silver Eagle collection and noticed a slot for a 2014 Limited Edition Proof Eagle. I was intrigued as I had not heard of the set before. I went to the US Mint website, and, lo and behold, there it was listed.

I read that it was limited to only 50,000 sets and was available so I ordered one. I then went on an exhaustive search to find an NGC graded set, which I did.

I received it and came to the website to enter it in my collection and the slot was no longer there. What gives?

Is this not what coin collecting is about? To get the rarities? According to Ali E. on the Chat Boards "Due to the fact that the 2014 LIMITED EDITION SET coins are difficult to obtain, they have no separate slots in the Registry.

These coins are eligible in the Registry anywhere where a Proof American Eagle Silver Dollar, Kennedy Half-Dollar, America the Beautiful Quarters and Roosevelt Dime may be eligible. Thank you. "

What the purpose of the 2000 Millenium Set? It has a slot. How about the 20th and 25th Anniversary Sets? They have slots. They all have coins that could be gotten elsewhere, yet their rarity is because they were part of a special set.

There is a slot for a coin I have yet to find (2015(S) MS Silver Eagle), are there any graded? Yet, not one for the 2014 Limited Edition.

Why should I go to the expense of having my unopened set sent to you for grading if it'll mean nothing?

Just my 2 cents worth. Any comments are welcome.
