Old registry stuff

It seems that most of the posts here are targeted toward modern or at minimum post 1900 registry sets. Who amongst you out there in registryland, not to be confused with Michal Jackson Dreamland or whatever, go back in time to the 18th or 19th centuries?

My set goes back to 1804 right now. If I ever get done, I'll have some 179X coins.

There are many other sets that go back that far if you look

Excellent Stuff!!! I am concentrating on a high grade first year type set and am looking for insights, opinions on collecting grades, types, and all sorts of stuff. The info that I have gleaned through reading the posts has influenced and opened up different avenues of collecting - I loveit!!

My Three Cent Nickel Proofs are 19th century.

BTW, just noticed by brief foray into #1 when I attributed my CAMS/DCAMS before Bruce Scher did has never been rescinded! I'll email BJ and let her know.

Awesome stuff!!!! I am trying to register but am having trouble with previous PCGS login names and such. I will let the forum know when I conquer this so they can view my humble foray.

Wondo,

Where's your foray going to be?

Wondo · April 28, 2003 12:27AM

I am looking at the short type set or one of the early silver series. I have only five coins, but four are Flowing Hair and the other is the 1796 dime. My issue with the type is I really don't care about Seateds or Barbers so I probably won't go there - I don't want coins just to fill in the holes. If they only had a "Federal Silver Coinage of 1794" registry set.

Here's my type set. Not too many 18th century, but several 19th century. Lot's of pictures

Awesome - thanks for sharing. I just worked out my login problems with the registry people and will be registering today under one of the type sets. Can coins be shared across registry sets?

Tom-

Great Pictures! I think I went through your set at least twice. Nice Set.

Tom,

Love your half cents!! I am also jealous that you have passed the 50% mark!

<< <i>Can coins be shared across registry sets? >>

Yes! A single coin can be in as many registry sets as it fits in, under a single owner.

One of my sets I registered is proof seated dimes. Just got a digital camera and am working on some pics. I too wish there were more that would share their older sets.

My Barber quarters are partly in the 19th century. Does that count?

tjkillian · April 30, 2003 5:19AM

Thanks for all the kind words. I like both type coins and indian cents. My wife has been helping me out a whole lot

I fear my set will slow down as the next half of the set will be much harder than the first. Looking at Wondo's set though it seems he's going for the hard part first.

I need to take some pictures of my most recent additions.
