Signature Sets - Getting world coins on the NGC Registry

[Architecht]

Hello all,

 

We've got a new feature in the registry called Signature Sets. If you haven't read the announcement, check it out. It'll be an excellent way to share world coins online, since it can be tough to define a world coin set given all the diverse ways people collect. Check it out:

I took the plunge, comments are welcome!.

 

It's actually quite fun, I think once I finish with this one I'll add some sets along my other collection themes.

[shirohniichan]

That is awesome. The photos and descriptions are great!

 

Maybe I'll go ahead with my George V Canadian type collection. Now if only I can learn how to take good photos...

Hey Jammin,

 

VERY inventive use of the gallery function on this set:

I just started my first world Signature Set Registry , even though I don't have most of my coins slabbed not do I have decent photos. I'm a long way away from being able to list all the coins in the set, though I am only missing a few. Shall I cave in and get them sl*bbed?

Heeey! I knew there was already a thread started about "Signature Sets".

 

Just moved my set from ATS, plus have some coins at NGC that I'm hoping will add to it. Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
