POLL: SHOULD WE HAVE A COMPLETE LINCOLN CENT PROOF REGISTRY?

Steve

With the apparent effort on the part of PCGS to expand the registry sets, I wanted to get the opinions from Lincoln cent proof registry participants as to whether or not they would favor having a COMPLETE Lincoln cent proof registry covering the years 1909 thru 2004. I know there may be interest also in a complete business strike registry, but this poll is for PROOF collectors opinions. I have made the option to include or not to include three doubled die varieties which are currently in the Memorial proof set. They are (1)the 1960 small date over large date, (2) the 1960 large date over small date, and (3) the 1971 doubled die. Thanks for your input. Steve

I have little doubt they'll have it eventually. It'll just take some time. They'll have a 1909-2004 business strike set too. They've already said they're going to do that type of thing for Washington Quarters, and they also added all the date sets.

So why would those varieties be in a basic set? Why would one collect them and not the other varieties?

You'd think they'd do it ASAP just to keep up with the competition: LINK

Yes, on my own accord, but the fact that Michael is for it just clinches it!

(I think I might be second behind the Lord Master Stewart Blay)

The competition entrants are pretenders.

Roger, thanks for posting the link. I forgot that over a year ago I put my proof set up on NGC's registry. Can't believe I'm still there at #4. They must have done an update to their system in August this year because I haven't been there in a year. Gee, I guess I could add my 2004 and have 100% again.

Doug,
I agree that at least at this time in history "the competition entrants are pretenders", especially if Stewart and Gerry aren't listed.

I have some fairly nice MPL's in NGC holders. They won't cross, but they should. I was mocking the "slam NGC" mantra that usually crops up.
