I don't think you have to sign up just to view, only if you want to build your own. Here is a link to mine, I'm curious if you can see it without an account. http://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/publishedset.aspx?s=38160
And thank you for including the primary reason I don't belong to the PCGS registry. NGC allows PCGS coins in their registry, no need to cross.
I also have an NGC registry. My OCD makes it impossible to have multiple types of slabs and I just happened to have more PCGS than NGC when I started to do the crossing. BTW using both, I find the NGC registry to be a bit lacking and very difficult to use in comparison to PCGS, the only plus as you mention is that you can submit both.
The benefit I find from the NGC registry is that is not solely based on grade. Points are awarded for coins based on rarity and for eye appeal (star designation). This is a much more fair way to compete IMO, but that is mostly due to the type of coins I collect. Having said that, I think I am going to start a PCGS war nickel registry set since I already have the 1943/2-P.
I am signed up thanks for giving me your link they were awsome to view the only gold I have are nuggets these are impressive coins.
Lots of cool sets on the Registry, when you're in the PCGS Registry set, click on the Awards link at the top and you'll see the best of the best... unfortnately many of the award winning sets don't have pics and some others are even blocked so you can't see the contents, not sure what the point of that is?? Anyways, my 1909 Mint Set (currently #1) is linked in my sig line
