<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 1196397, member: 24633"]The Registry Sets represent a varied mix of "bragging rights", "keeping up with the Joneses", "deep pockets" and "just for the fun of it". PCGS allows only PCGS-certified coins while NGC allows you to include PCGS-certified coins in their Registry. The biggest complaint that I have is that most of the top-ranked sets are presented with not a single photo. It gives me the feeling that the owners of most, but not all, of these sets are in it only to feed their egos and they could care less about sharing the beauty of their collections with others who aren't fortunate enough to have pockets so deep that you could hide the entire country of China in them. For years, I've maintained that no Registry Set should be able to hold one of the top rankings if they didn't include photos. </p><p> </p><p>By the way, some of you may not know that the Society of Silver Dollar Collectors (SSDC) just recently started a VAM Registry.</p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
