<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mark_h, post: 800584, member: 3726&quot;]No offense - but I work with several dealers to get coins in the grades that I like - does that make me a non-real collector? Next to win registry set prizes some of those coins command really high premiums and I would probably work with a dealer for those also. I know it seems disheartening to see some of the sets win just because they threw money at them, but that is their choice. I personally do not need a registry win to be happy with my collection. I also personally think some people put too much stock in registry sets.&nbsp; Some of the best collections will not be in registry sets simply because some of the coins are raw.</p><p><br /></p><p>Personally I would rather see a competition where all coins, no matter the holder or raw - are voted on by some set of experts. Or maybe even the public.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
