Good luck with the sale. I'd think the BIN would trigger a buyer soon. To replace these coins would be next to improbable and would certainly cost more.

I just wish i had an extra 15 grand sitting here...
THIS IS NOT MT SET.............
I was just bringing it to the attention of the board in case there was any interest and for everyone to say goodbye to another registered set.
Sorry for the confusion....

The set probably isn't leaving the registry, it will just have a new owner.
Why not you?

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
My Jefferson Nickel Collection
The 47 $1 have 36.35168 oz. of silver at todays $4.66 is $169.40
This totals $2,448.56 (there is one silver half, at least I think the 1982 is the only silver half)
Someone is free to tell me I am wrong, I just pulled the numbers from the red book and used the current Kitco values.
Metal composition of the coin is 90% gold and 10% alloy; the weight is 8.359 (± 0.042) grams.
Metal composition of the coin is 90% silver and 10% alloy; the weight is 26.730 (± 0.400) grams.
and the following assumptions
a) The metal content is the same for all in the series
b) The $10 coins have twice the gold as the $5 gold coins
c) The $10 Library has 8.359 grams of gold and 8.359 grams of platinum (same as a $5 gold coin)
8.359 * .9 = 7.5231 grams pure gold. * 20 = 150.462 / 28.35 grams per ounce = 5.30 ounces gold.
16.718 * .9 = 15.0462 grams pure gold * 5 = 75.231 / 28.35 grams per ounce = 2.653 ounces gold.
8.359 * .9 = 7.5231 grams pure platinum * 1 = 7.5231 / 28.35 grams per ounce = 0.265 ounces platinum
26.73 * .9 = 24.057 grams pure silver * 47 = 1130.679 / 28.35 grames per ounce = 39.882 ounces of silver.
$5 Gold coins = 5.30
$10 Gold coins = 2.63
Total gold = 7.93 ounces
$1 Silver coins= 39.882 ounces
Platinum = 0.265 ounces
7.93 * $314.10 = $2490.81
39.882 * $4.66 = $ 185.85
0.265 *$550.00 = $ 145.75
Total $2822.41
Amazing that people will pay a premium for a metal after it's been inserted in a press, and an even bigger premium if that metal is encased in plastic.
Maybe the PCGS motto should be "There's one born every minute" ?

One question? Why do all of the pictures have the PCGS # blanked out? Generally that is left in, which is a good way to check the authenticity of the coin.
Also, they do the same thing on the pictures inside the registry set also.
What gives?
Should I put my thumb over the seriel number when I show my friends a coin?
The cert numbers are not shown to prevent them from being hijacked and used in a registry set by someone who does not own the coin. When someone registers a set there is no proof of ownership required by PCGS, all a collector has to do is provide the cert number to get a coin in his set. The only way to get caught is if someone else has that coin registered in another set and there is a conflict. We all know the number of certified coins registered is tiny compared to how many are out there.
So it would be possible for someone to register a set where he own's none of the coins or just add a few fantasy upgrades here and there.

dont think its silly. its been done in the past.

For one thing, if they're in your set no one else can put them in theirs, right?
Also, if you have the #1 set like this guy, I'd think that he would notice if someone showed up with a duplicate set
Sure, if you have 90% average coins and 1 or 2 Awesome ones you may not notice if someone scalped a top coin but I can't believe this guy wouldn't notice if someone jumped him.
But if you sell the coins they can no longer be in your registry set. When you sell them the buyer will not always be a registry participant. Someone who views the auction can then write down the cert numbers and enter them into his registry set even though he does not own them.

Ok, now I'm going to go through my set of MS61-MS63 Franklins (non FBL) and make sure no one swipes one of the numbers
The seller would say "But I unregistered mine"
The buyer would have to provide PCGS with proof that they now are the owner and after a couple of months it would probably get straightend out.
The cert number is unique information. And as with any information you share with everybody who has a computer connected to the Internet you should always be aware of how someone could use it.
