A New Registry Set for Carson City Morgan Dollar Varieties

cho10

As there are numerous varieties of the Carson City Morgan dollar included in the

Morgan Dollar Circulation Set with Varieties,

can somebody tell me why there is no

Carson City Morgan Dollar Circulation Set with Varieties?

It would seem to be a logical step in particular as CC coins seem to have become a lot more popular in the past 3 years.

You never know. Why don't you ask via the Q&A forum?

I did and my question was not posted. Go figure.

I had to ask three weeks in a row once to get the question answered. I would post it again.

Probly cuz not very many registry collectors collect the Morgan CC varieties I would guess.

2 gripes I have w/ the current CC registry:

1. You cannot list any variety in the registry. For instance, you cannot have your Tailbar listed in the registry in place of your ordinary 90cc. Same can be said for any variety of the 80cc, or the 79cc capped die. So if you purchased an 80cc 8/low7 the computer will tell you the cert# is invalid - you must purchase an 'ordinary' 80cc

2. Set is not weighted for PL or DMPL designations. This makes no sense to me. Mirrored morgans are the most sought after, and the CC mint produced the nicest cameos. A nice cameo may command double the price of a non-mirrored morgan.

I wrote DH and asked him to "flip the switch" on the CC registry, he responded that they would be doing something 'soon'; that was a year ago. I don't think they would ever weight this set, or allow the recut 79cc in place of the non-capped version; doing so would totally realign the current and all-time standings and probably piss-off some people. That said, I do believe there will be a new CC registry sometime in the future.

Sometimes a year is "soon" at PCGS

I've been talking to Mr. Hall, and waiting, for a Morgan VAM Registry set for three years.

BigAl,
you have mentioned things about the CC Registry set that bother me too. It was the choice that I was obliged to make between an MS63 1879-CC and an MS63 Capped Die CC that prompted me to start this thread in the first place. I have noted on my CC set that I also have the numerous 1880 varieties too. I don't see why PCGS has recognized all the varieties in the Morgan Dollar Circulated Varieties set and has omitted those very same varieties from a potential CC Varieties set.

BigAl, just a note that I was allowed to enter my 90CC Tailbar in the CC registry ( I was not allowed to use any of my 80CC varieties though
