How many of us would like to see "Build Your Own/ Custom" sets?

[shirohniichan]

I'd be interested in non-competitive, custom sets.

 

For example, I'd like to see a trade dollar set that included type 1 and 2 obverses and reverses. Properly weigthing the coins according to scarcity would be a nightmare, so making it non-competitive would be fine. Trade dollar collectors would know and appreciate the fact that having an 1876 II/II in AU-58 would be more of an accomplishment than having a I/I in MS-63, for example.

 

I don't want to sound too much like a revolutionary, but we could even allow (gasp) foreign coins to have registries.

I would like to see this. It would allow someone to put together sets based on BB or JR or LM numbers as well.

 

I think this is an excellent idea!

I thought you Dark Siders didn't like slabs. You have to slab to register.

[shirohniichan]

Sometimes we have to sacrifice our code of ethics to get a registry going.

 

I guess it wouldn't be commercially viable for the slabbing companies because there wouldn't be the mad rush to buy coins in specific slabs that competitive sets breed.
