NGC Registry Awards by JAA USA/Philippines Collection

[CSJournals-migration]

Thank you NGC for selecting my 1908 USA/Philippines Proof Set for a 2012 Best Classic Set Award.

 

For the past several years much of my collecting efforts have focused on my Custom USA/Philippines Registry Sets. When NGC established a competitive category for 1908 USA/Philippines Proof Sets (in November 2012) I deleted my "Custom Set" in that category and set up a "Competitive" 1908 Proof Set.

 

While I am honored that NGC selected my 1908 Proof Set for a "2012 Best Classic Set Award" I feel somewhat ambivalent about the honor since this set is a definitely a "work in progress" and nowhere near the ultimate 1908 USA/Philippines Proof Set. Rest assured that I will be continually upgrading this set. In fact since the judging closed I have upgraded two of the coins in this set. I upgraded the 1908 Half Centavo from PF65 RD to a "Top Pop" PF67RB and the Fifty Centavos from PF62 to PF64. I also plan to upgrade the photos to high resolution "NGC Photo Proof" images.

 

If you haven't seen my 1908 Proof Set please take a look but be sure to check back periodically for upgrades.

Let's see...

 

I need one more coin to complete my 1908 Proof Set, so if I can find a 1908 Proof 10 Centavos worth 3907 points, I can take the number one spot! Unfortunately, even if I could get a PF70 (if one existed and I could sell my car to afford it), it would only net me a gain of 3636 points.

 

You've got a great set there, and I suspect you'll have the number one spot for as long as you want it. You're certainly in no danger of being dethroned by me!
