How do I view lists of coins in an individual set?

For example: business strike Lincolns 1909 to 1958? The PCGS (am I allowed to mention them here?) Registry has a 'set make-up' button. Is there a similar function here?

 

Thanks,

Well, I'm not 100% sure what you're looking for, but here's my guess.

 

Try clicking the "Show Score Table" links to see this page. Is that the kind of information you're looking for?

Yes, thank you! That is what I wanted. Are these tables available to non-members? How do I find them?

 

I noticed the 1922 PLAIN and 1955 DDO are listed. Is a set lacking these 'errors' considered incomplete?

When you click on "Registry" on the collectors' society, and then use the drop down to pick a category, you then are shown the top three collections for each set type in that category. You may notice that there is a "Show Score Table" link underneath each block of the top 3 sets. Anyone - members or not - can click this link to see the score tables for any set type.

 

As for those two coins, if they're listed in the set then they are a part of the % complete. So yes, a set without them is considered "incomplete" I guess. As it was explained to me, the rationale is that there are certain variants that are considered significant enough that most collectors consider owning them to be an important part of collecting those dates. Thus, "significant" varieties are included in sets, and more minor varieties are not.

 

As with anything it can be debatable whether that makes sense or not, but this is our take on the best way to construct these sets. Ultimately, though, David Lange can give you the real answer to any questions you have on the topic, I'm just giving you my own limited understanding of the topic.

Architecht, Thanks for the walk-thru. I've been nosing about looking at who has what ( some amazing sets people! Congratulations!) I couldn't find any world coins. Aren't there any or did I miss them?

[Architecht]

Currently there are no world coin sets... I think that's just primarily due to the combination of the fact that there are so many possible sets and a much smaller group of world coin collectors that we might have hundreds of categories with only one person in each category. But I'd love to find a way to accomodate the world collectors, and I think that may be possible at some point. I DO have certain evil plans being worked on deep in the fortresses of the dark side. Mwahahahahaaaaaa. ahem.
