[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2769006, member: 10461"]Yes, I suppose there are too many intangibles for them to make it work on the Registry. The Hejira dates in your set, like the coin in the OP, made me wonder about that right away. Still, without AH dates or regnal systems like Japanese "year-x" dates (which does unfairly exclude an awful lot of the world's coinage), you'd think they could base the Registry scoring on the completion percentage alone, ignoring grade and everything else. It would be simplistic, but it would work. For example, if you hypothetically have 386 of the necessary 417 coins, your set is 92.5% complete and would outrank mine, if I only have 225 of the 417 (53.9% completion). That would be a quantity-over-quality consideration, though. I can see why they would choose not to go there.[/QUOTE]
