State Quarter Registry SET retired

I have retired the number 3 State Quarter Registry PVS It was fun building the set up, but 2 big reasons why I decided to move on. Finding updates once you reached a certain point is almost impossible and the real reason once SF coins came out 69s were commonplace and true business strikes were neglected.
Most of the super tough coins have found new homes in the top sets. The owners of these are true collectors and not speculators so I feel proud that my collection is now a part of theirs.
There is also strong interest in my top pop business strikes, which I am keeping at this time. I hope this core of people can finally get PCGS to correct the pop report and find a home for the orphans.
Many help me build my set and I thank them. Learning the Dynamics of the modern market has been a wonderful experience.
Now it is on to toned silver commems.
Forget - I also wish PCGS would pay a little more attention to the price guide, they are not even close on the rarely trades coins. Since the coins trade outside Heritage or E-Bay they really should consult some of the collectors.makers. I know my requests for corrections have gone unanswered.

I notice that in the Jefferson Nickels Basic Set, Circulation Strikes (1938-present) that PCGS requires both the “Business Strike” and “SMS” coins for the 1994-P and 1997-P. Why isn’t the same standard used for all Basic Set purporting to be of Circulation Strikes? Is consistency a bad word or policy at PCGS?
I think I read it somewhere that the “Registry” was set up for the collectors, if that is the case then why has PCGS dragged their feet for three years.
End of rant,

Try the Sacagawea Dollars, Circulation Strikes (2000-present) with the very limited Goodacre coin.
When was that ever released for circulation?
The only reason I would side with PCGS on the BS vs. Satin strike is historical precedent, coins in mint sets are similar to the coins in circulation.
My stance on the Jefferson SMS's & the Sac Goodacre and Millennium (and others) is that they do not belong in the "Circulation" Set's because those coins were never in a Mint set released by the Mint.
If that's the criteria to go by, then the Satin finish would be the type in the 'Circulation Set' and the regular finish would be the variety.
Just a thought.
If only PCGS would wise up and make "the switch".
Your passion for the series has always amazed me! I have never met someone so driven and determined over stamped metal discs! Your collection is remarkable and not easily duplicated. Sorry you have resolved to collect just tarnished old commems!
Sorry you also gave in to the frustration of a Registry that does not care for true collectors.
Good luck on getting back what was put into it.

I read this, then I read it again. But I can't see the reason for this thinking.
Because the mint puts a SMS coin in a mint set, it should trump out the CIRCULATION STRIKE COINS that are used for commerce. THE VERY DESCRIPTION used by PCGS and the ENTIRE COIN COLLECTING COMMUNITY for uncirculated coins in an UNCIRCULATED SET.
The SMS coins from 65 - 67 were released in mint sets, but were they used in the uncirculated sets? NO, because there were also the true uncirculated coins issued for commerce, and sent out in rolls to banks for those years.
Now the very same thing is being done starting in 2005, but now you want to call the UNCIRCULATED coin "the variety coin" and replace them in the sets with the SMS coins???????
Had they blasted only the devices on the satin finish die, You would have a proof looking coin with mirrowed fields, only the frosted surface would not be as white. Business strikes?? Not even close.
