Why would someone register a with varieties set, and not a basic set?

Just curious. Anyone who has done so want to speak up? For example, I never look at the Lincoln Cents with varieties, and I forget there are some pretty nice sets there but not listed under basic.

I, for one, would like to see the above dates included in the basic set because I believe most Lincoln cent collectors can eventually get these coins. There are literally hundreds of other so called varieties that some people collect. Some are very rare. Those coins, the ones NOT in the major price guides should be in a separate varieties registry in my opinion. Steve

That gets my vote
&, oh yeah, what those other guys said
p.s. I wonder when someone with registered sets will become the first to be 100% complete in BOTH the 09-58 & 59-Date sets - Basic, and then the Varieties? Rich, looks like you're the front runner
p.p.s. I personally beleive PCGS should have a complete registry set for the Lincoln's - 09-Date. This will be amore true reflection of the total collection AND will definitely help to increase interest in the Memorial portion of the set.
It is interesting to me that you believe a coin like the 1960 SD/LD is a regular coin and NOT an error coin. Obviously, the 1909SVDB was meant to be produced that way and is part of the basic set. The 1960 SD/LD was NOT meant to be produced that way. The small date die was replaced by the large date die early in the year. Accidently, apparently one of the small date hubs got mixed with a large date hub to create the error die. I cannot see this coin as anything but an error coin. It is rare, but needs a loope to really see it. JMHO. Steve

There are a few sets that this could work for, and I'm sure that you could use W & W/O varieties. The Washington Quarter: 1932-1998, The Roosevelt dime 1948-Date, and Lincoln cent 1909-Date.
The lucky collectors of the Jefferson Nickel, (By the way I went to Jefferson High) have a 1938-Date set and its great to see all of the coins together. It really makes those aware or the modern sets.
Just a thought,

I agree, a 1909-current set would be cool! So would be a 1934-1958 set AND a 1909-1933 set. I would consider getting all my early dates in pcgs holders as a registered set, but coins after 1933 I still like raw! As for quarters, how about 1932-current!
100% agree.

Now that's funny. I have been avoiding this thread on purpose. I may or may not comment later.
