I'm now in the registry!

So this will show how naive I am about this but I have to ask anyway - Wouldn't it be relatively easy to search through mint sets until you find coins that you think have a chance and submit them? Or is this something that has already been done with just about every mint set out there? I can't grade them - but I just think of all the grandmothers out there that have mint sets from these years sitting in closets that have probably never been cherry picked.

This isn't meant in jest - on its surface it seems like with a little leg work it could be done.

 

Yep - sounds easy, but I don't think it is. Not that it can't be done, but I think it will take more work than just trying to find one already graded.

 

I like the fact that you have photos of your coins. To me, a published registry set without photos is like looking at a Dansco Coin Album in the dark. This is pet peeve with me for the PCGS showcase sets - why have a showcase set if you don't have pictures to "showcase" your coins...

Thanks for sharing.

 

Actually, you are not #30, but #38. They go by 'all time' finest.

 

Don't give a hang, hoot, or a holler for registry sets but I got one (I think). Remember back a few weeks ago when PCGS was giving away dem quarters? Well, I got one and set up a 'registry'. More like a mish mosh of stuff. No theme, just a bunch of baggage.........

 

The emotional baggage registry?

 

Just 'baggage' Shaun. I think we can leave the emotional part out of it........

[Did I really come off that strong?] :devil:

 

You did have some very powerful words in there. Sometimes I don't know if you sad, mad, or happy. You are a mysterious one Ken.

 

Must have been the alliteration........
