  1. HK-11 is definitely on my "keep an eye out" list. It's up there with the HK-876 (Denver Mint Opening) for rarity, simple eye-appeal, and historical significance. If I come across an example that I can afford, it'll probably be because someone doesn't recognize what they have (that's how I got my HK-324 (the 1904 launching of the Armored Cruiser California) and 3 examples of HK-803 (the 1919 Saviours of Victory)). I may be getting close to completing as much of the set as I ever want to; there are a lot of the late 19th century and mid 20th century medals that are just... well, ugly to me. And, I don't think I would want the KKK medal even if it was given away. 

    Still, I put in a request for a complete "So-Called Dollars" category around the time of the first post in this thread, and still haven't seen any progress on that. Is NGC any closer to recognizing the series as a whole on the competitive register? 

  2. While adding a medal to my registry, I got the following error message:

    "This coin cannot be added to your inventory at this time. We will review this coin and you will be notified of the results.

    1931-DATED PRESIDENT DOUMER DUATEL (72.5mm) BRONZE FRANCE
    MEDAL MS 63 BN CAC"

    It appears that the number pulled up the correct description of the medal, but I'm unclear why it is not correctly importing to my inventory. Is there something I'm doing wrong?

    Hello. These coins are best represented in a Custom NGC Registry set. Please let us know if you need assistance. Thank you. 
     

     

    Why is this a custom set and not a competitive set? So-Called Dollars have far more varieties and are more widely collected than, say US 3 cent pieces or Coins of Zimbabwe.

  4. Any progress on getting a registry set of So-Called Dollars?

    I have about 1/4 of the series and would love to track all of my certified ones in a single place.

    Here's an example of one: The 1920 Silver Wilson Dollar, celebrating the opening of the US Mint in Manila:
    2121170-001

  5. I'd like a general category for So-Called Dollars. There's an oddly specific category for So-Called Dollars, Wilson Dollars of 1920 (of which I have several, but will probably never have the virtually unobtainable gold example - ~5 were minted). But I'd like a registry set for all So-Called Dollars (of which I have several dozen in NGC & PCGS slabs).

     

    ie: NGC 4436414-020 (1933 CA HK-687)
