Today I reached my 100th #1 Registry Set.

Well, granted the vast majority are Sets with less than 10 coins, but spread out over several different countries. I don't expect it to stay at that number for long as a lot of sets get filled up this time of year right before the close of the annual competition. My favorites are the Australian Lunar 1 Oz MS Complete, and the 1 and 2 oz Australian Kookaburra Complete. The latter 2 Sets are made up of coins the majority of which have a total population of 1,500 or less and took me a decade to complete them both which happened earlier this year. The Lunar coins are getting ridiculous as far as the varities. The year of the Dragon MS 1 Oz had 18 different varities when you add up all of the color versions, coin show versions, privy and standard. It's been a lot of enjoyment putting them together and watching them grow.
