Just curious. All individuals or different groups involved?

    I don't but was just recently thinking, I have almost all of 1909-1929 Lincolns PCGS graded, and there's probably a lot of people out there with only 1930-1958, so maybe it would be fun to share a registry set with someone.

    About 18 months ago I asked if anyone would be interested in forming a group Registry Set.

    I thought it would be neat to assemble a set with coins from different collectors. A set that might not be able to be assembled otherwise, because the coins might not come to market for some time.

    It wouldn't have to be a finest known set, but it would likely be a good one!!

    To answer your question, my sets are all mine... no partners.

    << <i>The rules state the coins need to be owned by 1 person. Group registry is a little tough to compete with. >>



    Craig,

    I didn't know that.

    I've often thought how neat it would be to assemble sets, with images, using finest finest known coins. These sets wouldn't compete with the Registry. If PCGS would host the space, it would be a treat to see some of the finest known coins and have them placed together in sets.

    Lots of finest known sets have been assembled. Others may never be, because the coin(s) will never be sold. How many collectors wait for years/decades for 1 or 2 coins to come to market so they can "finish" their set?

    What a dream to see those sets finished with the aid of mulitple collectors. Not as a Registry Set, but a set for collectors to enjoy.

    I see nothing in the rules that say the cins in Registry set must be owned by one person.

    "In order to list your set as current, you must own the coins you are listing or be an agent with permission to represent a collection. A coin is not considered owned by you if you have sold it to another, regardless of buyback or return policies. Furthermore, this coin should be removed from your set. If the same coin should return to your possession and you regain ownership, you then have the option to relist it in the registry."

    If one person acts as the agent for the group, then there should be no issue/problem with the rules.

    YES. Dr. Steven Duckor has graciously decided that we share his Saint set...with mine as the warm-up act. It's a great synergy.image

    Don't give PCGS any more ideas!

    Then they will start multiple separate categories called groupie registry sets and then David Hall and I can discuss the good old groupie days of the 1960's while no one will be able to find their registry sets anymore!

    You've got to be kidding me. And while we're at it, let's have our kids share their SAT scores so they can get into Yale as a "team."

    That's pretty funny. image

    IMO, I think the idea doesn't carry any weight because no one individual would receive recognition for the project, like you can now with the Registry. No one is going to be able to bang their chest and tout "that's mine". Granted, many of the coins would come from a relatively small number of collectors, but there are numerous collectors with top pop coins that would be able to fill in the holes. It would be a group effort to assemble and image the finest coins and make them available in a virtual numistmatic library, for all to enjoy.

    Currently, collectors and non-hobbiests have no idea what the finest U.S. coins look like, unless they've been imaged by a dealer or an auction house. Most would agree too, that most times these images fall short of providing an adaquate representation of a coin's true look. I would gladly pay for a book(s) of images of these finest coins.

    Some interesting comments so far.

    This ran through my head as I recall seeing a TOP REGISTRY SET coming to market, announcement, from one of the auction houses. The registry sets seem like a great way for collectors/dealers/investors to display their sets to a large group of interested, dare I say "fans".

    Human nature being what it is, is it out of the realm for two or more registry participants to join their sets together for purposes only to obtain a higher standing in a particular set, and then turn around and offer that set up at auction with the billing, or "hype" building higher because the set has a higher standing in the registry?

    With that said, I am surprised that we don't see the ABC Coin Club type set registry, which would consist of different members coins' of that specific coin club. Sounds innocent enough, but probably would have drastic implications on how a registry set is managed by either pcgs or ngc.

    How about if my brother and I decided to "merge" our sets and form one larger set? Good idea? Bad idea? Implications?

    I don't see any problem with merging sets at the auction point to help bring higher prices. Perfectly legitimate and a good business move if the 2 sets are very complementary. But I still cannot see combining sets on the registries and taking shared credit.

    >>>>You've got to be kidding me. And while we're at it, let's have our kids share their SAT scores so they can get into Yale as a "team."

    now thats a great idea....in fact....your kid can do the school thing at yale and my kid will do the football playing at yale....thus they can be academic all americans as a team

    then "they" will get drafted ( not by uncle sam ) go play pro football...and then your kid can manage the money

    great idea
    my goal is to find the monsters and i go where they are but i sometimes miss some.... so if you have any and want to sell IM THE BUYER FOR THEM!!!

    MM is right. This is not a team sport.

    monsterman: That used to be called marriage?

    I was amazed at the basketball "team" of the Carlos Boozer family, now with the Utah Jazz team.

    Still looking for your rule # 53 and # 87.

    I wouln't want to ask about your rule #54. You might tackle me with that one. image
