WAS Anyone attempting to win a REGISTRY award for 06'

[jgrinz]

Curious ...

My 1883 Proof Set has a good run at following up last years award..

Looks like the #2 1883 set will give you a run for your money if (when) he finishes up the set, but your spot seems safe for now.

I was leading up until December, but Compradore decided to enter his world-class set in the same category.

[WinstonWare]

That is a great set Mike What do you get if you win?

[jgrinz]

Just a Plain old certificate for FRAMING - UNLESS you win top 5 then you get 5 FREE photo Proofs of your coins ... Nothing real spectacular ...

I will have a couple but they are for moderns.

[MikeInFL]

To answer your question...I was not attempting to, but my 1905 proof set will likely win the 2006 award...Mike

 

 

[Hoot]

top 5 then you get 5 FREE photo Proofs

 

You also get a very nice plaque and a mention in Coin World. I also received a letter from Steve Ivy unexpectedly. Nice accolades.

Ramping up for '07 #2 currently-SLQ's

SCR...best of luck in 2007...but as far as going from # 2 to # 1 will be

[sorry to say this] an impossibility. A certain collector in Thailand [EX:

New Yorker] will not be deposed.

 

So, when are you going to try your hand on the Barber quarter series ?

[Tradedollarnut]

Make sure your set is half or more NGC ... it improves your odds.

I have one for best presented for my early half dimes. Since I collect type and early half dimes there's no way I'll ever win one for best set. I'd have redo my whole collection, which has taken me 40+ years to put together, because my core coins are too low grade to be the best.

 

Things like a Chain Cent and a 1796 Quarter in VF, or early gold in AU are great collectors' items, but they will never put you at the top of the registry.

 

But you do get to see my coins. Everyone of them are photographed and on the registry. You find any "no photos" and "no comments" among my sets. What do the top collections have to hide?

[RoelSports]

Barbers are next...what does the Thai guy have that I can't eventually get?scr
