Wasn't that big a deal to me

I was in the registry a few years ago, and I was 1st place with a few sets a few times. Nothing high dollar, but it just didn't do to me what it does to some of you guys and gals. I know it couldn't be because I need expensive coins. It may be that I place more emphasis on the value of the coins when I retire in the next 5 years. I collect proof sets, and have done well on that investment. More power to you folks who really get passionate about the registry sets. I just never really thought it was as important to be first, although it felt good for a few days. I am happy when all my proofs come back from NGC at least PF-69. They are tough graders, and I wonder if PCGS may be a little less critical? Probably not, but anyway, that was MY two Lincoln pennies worth. We all colect for different reasons.
