*Yawns*, I would take my ancients over any of these any day

Plus I thought it was illegal to own a 1964 peace?

 

Does David Hall's monotone rambling put you to sleep, or is it just me?

 

It's not just you. You and David both put me to sleep.

 

Oh great PCGS, masters of innovation, wonder where they got that idea from?

Oh: http://www.coinnews.net/2011/07/14/ngcs-100-greatest-u-s-modern-coins-registry-set-debuts/

 

The NGC Collectors Society has launched a new registry set based on the recently published 100 Greatest U.S. Modern Coins by Scott Schechter and Jeff Garrett (Whitman, $29.95). The book ranks the top 100 United States coins from 1964 to date. It explores the most fascinating, rarest, most popular, and most valuable U.S. Mint products of recent generations.

Looks like both TPG's got the idea from the book.

But as rare as a lot of these coins are, very few NGC slabs will be part of it.

 

That's what my wife tells me too.

 

That won't matter to collectors - the NGC registry accepts PCGS slabs.

 

Very cool info. I have at least no. 83.

 

Firstly, how can a coin make the list that doesn't exist? Stupid.

Secondly, a huge proportion of the "coins" are bullion dreck. Boring.

Thirdly, (as others have already pointed out) NGC already released a similar list 2 years ago (Scott Schechter works for NGC). It isn't really "recent" either, as Detecto claims above. C'mon PCGS, seriously, can't you be original?

Lastly, I'm even a modern coin collector, and my first thought was "who cares". Do they really think this is going to be a big market? Sigh...

 

Never know about those 22k Sac dollars!

Very neat! Definitely learned something new...

 

I found a blooper Check out coin #43......only sold in 2006 sets, eh?

 

I emailed them, you would think they would of caught that.

 

That pictures looks familiar

 

Really detecto you emailed them about a typo come on! Mat why is it illegal to own a 64 peace dollar? I honestly have never heard of the coin in that year.

 

got the spouses up on there

 

Do these count

 

Will they amend the list when the 2012 reverse proof Silver Eagle final audit numbers are released?

 

How about #21?

"Found only in Proof sets."

Duh!

 

That.................... kinda makes me want to barf!
