I simply love the NGC Custom Registry Sets for the opportunity it gives serious collectors to share their enthusiasm and in depth knowledge of specialized niches of our hobby with the larger collecting community.

 

Over the years gherrmann44 (Gary), the creator of the fabulous "Gary's Coin of the Month" Collectors Journal series, has created some of the most outstanding Custom Sets in the NGC Registry.

 

All of Gary's Custom Registry Sets demonstrate outstanding photography, creativity, and meticulously researched numismatic and historical information on each specimen.

 

In 2008 NGC awarded Gary's "Inspirational Ladies" Custom Registry Set the "Most Creative Custom Set" award:

As Collector's Journal regulars know Gary's most recent focus has been on his "The Use of Seated Imagery in Numismatics" Custom Registry Set. It is not surprising that NGC has honored this numismatic Tour de force with the "2013 Most Informative Custom Registry Set" award:

Congratulations Gary. I have always enjoyed your themed coin post and looking at the amazing and diverse collections you have. Your photos and write ups are always fascinating.

Fully agree, I don't believe there is a better ambassador for this board then Gary.

 

Adding this year's set award for "Most Informative" to previously won, " Best Presented" and "Most Creative" completes sort of a NGC" Numismatic Triple Crown" for Gary.

 

Add in a couple Journal Awards and most importantly the professionalism Gary always exemplifies and you have one fabulous numismatic contributor !

 

Congrats Gary !

I agree with all of the others. It couldn't have been awarded to a more worthy person and set than Gary's. A true gentleman and a numismatic scholar, tying together all of the history with these little metal discs we love is no simple task!

 

Congratulations Gary!

Thank you everyone! I appreciate all the kind words, and I thank you for your friendship and support over the years. Being able to share all the cool things we learn about our coins with others of like mind is a significant part of this hobby to me. Without that there is no passion for me.

 

Likewise, I also enjoy perusing all your sets. It doesn't matter whether I collect what you collect, I enjoy it because I sense a like passion you have for your sets. All the best in 2014 and I hope you all have an opportunity to experience winning a major set award or journal award at some point in the years to come.
