<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Tim C, post: 2017546, member: 71569&quot;]It seems like PCGS is creating “Orphans” again for the Kennedy series.&nbsp; For some reason the powers to be at PCGS has determined that all of the new 50th Anniversary Kennedy half dollars are not part of the Kennedy series and will only be included in the Modern Commemorative Set in their Registry.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>NGC on the other hand is requiring all of the new 50th Anniversary Kennedy half dollars in either their basic Proof or Uncirculated Sets plus they are making a special set for just the new 50th Anniversary Kennedy half dollars.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The word I heard from PCGS is: “The coins are considered commemorative (see population report) and at this point, will not be included in the denomination sets.”&nbsp; I fail to see the logic to this, if it walks like a duck, talks like a duck and looks like a duck then it probably is a duck.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>It would be nice if PCGS would use some consistence on how they list coins in their competitive sets.&nbsp; I mean first of all these new 2014 Kennedy half dollars I believe the US Mint listed as 50th Anniversary coins and not commemoratives. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Second, the 1996 W Roosevelt dime was struck on the 50th anniversary of that series and PCGS includes it in the basic Roosevelt dime collection.&nbsp; The special silver Eagles struck on the 10th, 20th and 25th Anniversary, PCGS includes in that denomination Registry set(s).&nbsp; The Bicentennial coinage of 1975 – 1976 was to commemorate the two hundred year birthday of our nation and I notice that the quarter, half dollar and one dollar coins are all required in their respective denomination set(s) within the PCGS Registry.&nbsp; I also notice that the 1994 &amp; 1997 Jefferson nickels and the 1998-S silver Mattie Kennedy half dollar that were issued in special sets with commemorative dollars are all required coins by PCGS in their respective Registry set(s).</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I’m glad that we collect coins in our collection the way we want them and not necessarily the way PCGS thinks a collection should be put together.&nbsp; As far as common sense is concerned, consistency across all denominations and integrity of how the online Registry is administered it looks like PCGS has some work to do.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Just my fifty cents on the subject,</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Tim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
