Another Change in Registry Rules

PCGS has changed the rule that required a set to be taken down when the owner no longer intended to upgrade it any more. Makes sense - just because it's not being actively upgraded doesn't mean it doesn't exist!

Another great change for all.

Well, guess that change could really kill some sets. What happens if you get a perfect set and retire it, but later, a new, higher graded piece comes on the market?

Hmmm....

Interesting...

I read that rule. This will all but elimate the proof Liberty Nickel sets. One person has three, and none have been touched since at least the printing of the 1999 sets. Personally, I think this is a stupid rule. If you "currently" own the set, why should you have to remove it?

Chock up another rule that cannot be enforced.

It used to say that if you weren't going to upgrade you had to take it down. It now says you can leave it up for as long as you own the set.

Missed that part. Does this mean you do not get credit for the "inferior" coins you have in your proof set?

David Hall has assured me that when I retire the set, it will receive credit for the estimated grades of the 84 and 85 - same as Eliasberg. Until then, under the rules they are not eligible, which is fine. I just love the coins and will never let the holder come between me and my passion for them.

However, since I intend to never part with my set, it will always be incomplete on the Registry.
