Member: Seasoned Veteran DWLange Posted June 25, 2003 Member: Seasoned Veteran Share Posted June 25, 2003 We're in the process of adding Year Sets (MS - P,D,S) and Proof Sets to the Registry. All sets from 1950 through 1967 are now ready to enter. Others will be added as time permits. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
braddick Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Not to be a wet blanket here, but soon each and every single, individual coin will qualify for its own Registry. (I miss the basics!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmarguli Posted June 25, 2003 Share Posted June 25, 2003 Not to be a wet blanket here, but soon each and every single, individual coin will qualify for its own Registry. (I miss the basics!) I agree. I thought this was the tackiest thing when it was done across the street. What happened to showcasing MEANINGFUL sets? What's next, the small dollar set (SBA & Sacagawea)? The big clad dollar set consisting of one a single Ike? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlWohlforth Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I disagree I think registry sets should be fun. I don't think they have to be important numismatic rarieties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmarguli Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 I disagree I think registry sets should be fun. I don't think they have to be important numismatic rarieties. Shouldn't they at least have to present some challange? Shouldn't people actually have to collect that type of set before they make it a registry set?

CarlWohlforth Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Why does it need to be challenging? I like to fill out some regsitry sets. My goal of a complete type set is challenging in any grade. My 1956 proof set is part of my birth year set. This is one set where I want to score high. My 1907 proof set is just part of my type set. It is neat and all, but in no way will it challenge anyone trying to put together a finest 1907 proof set. I collect type coins. But I ended up with some proof sets. I will register my proof sets and enjoy viewing the sets registered by other people. Should I not register my proof set just because my focus is my type set?

braddick Posted June 26, 2003 Share Posted June 26, 2003 Too many sets harm the integrity of the Registry program, IMHO. It is akin to what the Mint (Congress) did back in 1936 with Commemoratives. Too many of them and it killed the program (at least, for awhile). A couple of Twinkies is tasty. A twelve pack of them is sickening sweet and causes one to hurl.

Beijim Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 A couple of Twinkies is tasty. A twelve pack of them is sickening sweet and causes one to hurl. Superb visual. Hmm, the Twinkie Expiration Date Registry Set... Oh, sorry. Those coins won't be minted for another four hundred years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PF70UC-migration Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I know many experienced collector's are not fond of the Proof Set idea. But it gives new collectors an opportunity to participate in Registry without spending a lot of money. For that and other reasons I'm glad you're now offering this yearly series.

lazeroo Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I'm thinking there's some kids out there that might want to participate in the registry. and if you give them something to start with they might get on to something bigger some day. so I'm fine with the easy sets. rob.
