I'm certain the coins are out there, either not submitted, in other holders, or not registered, that will eventually top these sets.
That's the nature, and the fun, of the Registry competition.
Like the other sets I have these are works in progress and I'm always hoping to improve them as I can.
The first, the Elizabeth 11 proof set, was all self submitted with the exception of 1 coin.
Elizabeth 11 Proof Set
The next, The George V proof set, was about 75% self submitted-where the fun really lies I believe, despite the time, frustration and cost.
George VI Proof Set
The real pleasure is that I'm building the sets for our grand kids, hoping that they'll improve in value over time.
But even if they never recoup the cost and the effort, the kids enjoy seeing them grow, I enjoy sharing the fun with them and when all's said and done the
money didn't go into dull, electronic roller coaster stocks and bonds, the slots at Las Vegas or man toys that depreciate by the day and only I could enjoy.

I realize they're modern issues by the standards of most collectors here but would appreciate any comments, good, bad or otherwise.
Thanks

Jeff I agree that PCGS has problems with the ms, proof and proof like designations, particularly on the Maundy coins. It's just that life is to short to keep haggling with them, sending back etc.
I just roll with it.
Bill thanks. That's my favorite of the Elizabeth sets as you might imagine. I just have to put the best into the sets that can keep at least one of them on top.
I understand Gaza, but it's a certified VIP proof, according to Heritage appraisers and with a knowledgeable appraisal and track record over the many transactions.
I just have to go with that since I can't prove anything either way.
Best to all....
I should be able to get to the coins this weekend and will be happy to send them to you.
All the best.....
