<p>[QUOTE=&quot;V. Kurt Bellman, post: 1982330, member: 71723&quot;]I hadn&#039;t imagined before that it was about Registry &quot;gameification&quot; (my word), but now I need to noodle on that idea some more. I seriously don&#039;t get any warm fuzzies from the idea of turning numismatics into a scored competitive game. It sickens me a little. For me, numismatics is about people, medalic technology and art appreciation, the stories of coins and the historical and economic history perspectives that led to them, and appreciation of the intrinsic beauty of them (the very common large copper France 10 centimes from the early 20th century for example - common as all get out, but stunningly beautiful artistry). It never occurred to me to turn it into something that needs a scorekeeper, either in $ terms or grading points.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even my &quot;outside my usual schtick&quot; clad Kennedy HR set I view as primarily a keepsake of the 2014 Chicago show, not as a valuable coin in the big picture. Heck, I bought the Chicago Coin Club&#039;s 2-medal Ferris Wheel set at nearly $100, too. Nobody&#039;s listing those babies in a registry. Registries? I&#039;m clearly not the target audience. I use NGC&#039;s collection database thingy, but never did a registry, &#039;cuz it never interested me, despite the fact it&#039;s &quot;in my face&quot; every time I log on.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
