<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 87927, member: 68&quot;]People have been collecting such coins since long before the registries appeared.&nbsp; Many of the finest moderns disappear into collections which aren&#039;t even in the registry.&nbsp; That the author of the quoted text mentioned the registry is irrelevant. The owner of this coin has a registry set and like some registry participants was able to find this one himself.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>There are many reasons people have for having registry sets but for those to whom I speak it seems ego is not the driving force.&nbsp; They appear to be driven by the same desires that other collectors have for completeness, quality, etc.&nbsp; At least some do like the competition but it seems to generally be pretty friendly competition.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>What do I know though.&nbsp; I&#039;m just biding my time till I start several of my own registry sets just to keep a few of them on their toes.&nbsp;&nbsp; :whistle:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
