Make a Pop3 coin, add it to your Registry set and drop 12 positions

Not too long ago PCGS announced that the 1934 Heavy Motto Washington Quarter would be recognized and added as the variety it deserves to be, such as the 1934 Light Motto and DDO. They asked for people that had Heavy Mottoes to send them in for attribution...and, owning several of each, I did just that!
Meanwhile I noticed that my 34-D was also a Heavy Motto and sent it in too. Well I cannot add the 34 Heavy Motto to the variety set. It just will not be accepted, however someone at PCGS has successfully entered my 34-D into BOTH my circulation strike set and variety set(regular 34 HM won't go though)
the one that started all this!!The circ strike set shows 100% complete. It's technically been complete for 6 months. GPA has increased to 65.92 but this good fortune of having made this super low pop coin has cause this completed set's rating to drop like a stone to 63.86, causing me to plummet 12 spots from 11th to 23rd in the circulation strike division and instead of improving my variety set which was 5th, it too has dropped to 7th.
I thought that when a low pop coin was made a collector was supposed to be happy. Making this coin has proven to be disappointing and how IT got entered yet a regular 34 Heavy Motto cannot be is simply beyond me. I am not at all pleased!
My point is, if you own a 34-D Heavy Motto and or 1934 Heavy Mottoes, save yourselves some grief until PCGS gets this straightened out and DON'T submit them! This has stressed me out to no end. Forget about the attribution PCGS (on the 34-D) and just put it back in a regular circulation strike slab...after all, all these varieties are circulation strikes in the truest sense of the word!

I sure hope they iron all this out as I sure don't want to go out and buy another 34-D because I was so "Lucky"!
Any and all opinions from fellow collectors of Washingtons (or anything else for that matter) are appreciated.
Think about it, are St Lib 25c collectors penalized for having types 1 & 2 1916 & 1917...Buffalo nickel collectors, are they penalized for having 1913 types 1 and 2?
i'm not familiar with the series, but i'd bet the problem is simply that PCGS will need some time to figure out how to "Weight" the 1934-D HM you're talking about. they already have weights for the 1934 as light 7 and heavy 3. i think when they assign something, if the 1934-D is as rare as you claim, the set points will ring your bell up a little higher.
alh.
<< <i> it's the same coin! Your set hasn't changed, so what's the problem? >>
The GPA has risen with the making of a pop 3 coin yet the set rating goes the wrong way.. I'm at 100% completion and a bright
boy like you asks" what's the problem"? Instead of attaining my goal of being in the top 10 I get knocked
backwards 12 spots and you don't see a problem? And then... you say this...
<< <i>your ego is more important than the coins
themselves. >>
Have you ever got it all wrong. So what...it makes you feel better to say stuff like this? As I just disclosed to you,
this certainly has nothing to do with ego.
You already know what I think about you and it's all good but trying to demean someone, trying to make yourself look big
in front of the entire world saying this kind of stuff doesn't become you at all.
I'm not making myself look big. Look at what you wrote. You have a prized collection. You love your set. The set's contents haven't changed, but the numbers have. Now you're upset. If you were collecting soley for the coins, you wouldn't be upset now. Clearly there's another aspect to you having the registry--the ability to be better than X amount of people. That's ego, plain and simple.

HRH threw Boom under the bus for improving his registry set and you think Boom has a problem with that ?
You are wrong !
Wow 55, that sagacious one liner impresses me to no end. Thanks for your usual meaningless contribution,
