Most of them have a look that is market acceptable, but the problem with Roosevelt Dimes is that unless they are premium gem, nobody wants them,...
Whose registry set? Mumu’s?
6.5 In Peace Dollar terms, that is basically an unimprovable monster.
While I agree with your overall point that grades are not fixed, I don’t know how much the graders mood really factors into the equation. I have...
Skip, the word gimmick carries a negative connotation. As long as you use that word to describe the registries, people will continue to think you...
The PCGS Registry doesn’t use points, they just use average grade. Is their registry also a gimmick? The use of points allows NGC to weight the...
So because you don't need it to be happy, that makes it a "gimmick." I view the registry as an invaluable tool to organize and display my...

Then the registry coin in the PCGS slab would have driven you nuts, one of the reasons I crossed it. [IMG]
I was in the threes at first glance, but considering the date, I am adding a full point. 4.5
Are there any grading companies that don't sell their services to the general public? You know perfectly well what I meant, and I don't see the...
Sometimes, when you post, I think we are the same person. It is scary how much we think alike. For the record, I bought this coin in a PCGS MS65...
