<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mr. Coin, post: 2252450, member: 10681&quot;]I fancy myself an early copper collector.&nbsp; Many of my coins are slabbed, but only because I bought them that way.&nbsp; I buy the coin not the holder.&nbsp; Notwithstanding the above, for fun I took a look at the PCGS and NGC registry sets for large and half cents.&nbsp; It&#039;s shocking how few sets there are - only 27 large cent sets for the full basic set, and far less than that for half cents.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Having noodled the issue, I have two thoughts:</p><p>1) Most early copper collectors prefer eac grading, and thus shun slabs, and by extension shun registry sets</p><p>2) The &quot;c*ck measurers&quot; that go around buying MS70 recent mint offerings to climb registry set rankings are probably afraid to venture into early copper since high grades are so tough.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>So, what do people think?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
