Reverse of 2007 Silver eagles are CRAAZY in interest,Ebay is always flooded with these with lots of bidders. I see your point but just don't see this bullion being pulled from the list.
If anything, these (5) SMS coins could get pulled down the road from the set if it is later decided that 1965 should be the starting date of the Top 100 modern set. But, of course, these (5) 1964 SMS coins would be moved to whatever "classic" registry set then included them as they are important coins I believe.

Anyone pay attention to the Twinight collection of moderns sold over at Heritage this week at the Central States sale? Some very interesting prices realized on a number of modern coins.

I have often wondered about the criteria for being in the Top 100 Registry Set. Just among the Top 20, you have really rare coins like the 1969-S Doubled Die cent and the Sac/Washington quarter/dollar mules hanging out with things like the 1995-W silver eagle and the Jackie Robinson commem, only conditional rarities at best, along with the 2004-D Wisconsin Extra Leaf quarters. And the 1964-D Peace dollar, a coin almost sure to be confiscated if you put one in your Registry Set.

The 95W and Jackie Robinson coins are not "condition rarities at best" and deserve to be on the list, without question, even as 69 grade coins.
I am informed that the 3 coins that are either illegal to own or govt. property (coins ## 1,3,5) will be removed from the Top 100 later this year. I also personally believe the Extra Leaf coins are currently ranked too high in the set, although they deserve to be a part of it.
I suspect other coins should make the list later this year, while some will be dropped. It is a work in progress.

Update: (2) more 1995-W PR70DC graded by PCGS in the past couple weeks. The "70" pop of roughly 17 years has more than doubled now in the past roughly 17 weeks!!

Update: (2) more 1995-W PR70DC graded by PCGS in the past couple weeks. The PCGS "70" pop of roughly 17 years was "5" coins. In the past roughly (20) or so weeks, the pop has now moved up another -8- coins to a pop now of -13-!
Should be interesting when some of the freshly graded "70" coins start to hit the auction front. The Price Guide has remained at $23,500 even after the remarkable $86,000 recent sale. Remember, Stacks/Bowers had auctioned off either the pop 4 or pop 5 coin for only about $20,000 late last year. I frankly can't recall such a wide difference between two auction prices than roughly $20,000 and roughly $86,000 where there is obviously no "upgrade" potential driving one of the prices.
1995-W ... just one of the more interesting coins in the Top 100 listing!

Shouldn't the relative "weight" for each coin determine its position on the list?
For example, as mentioned, the Wisconsin Extra Leaf Quarters each have a weight of "1.00" and are at positions 18 and 19 yet the 1964 SMS Kennedy has a weight of "5.00" but is at position 27?
Worse yet, the set itself is prefaced with beginning in 1965 yet the 1964 SMS coins are all on the list???
Doesn't make any sense.
As a side note, I just finished watching "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" so it all kinda makes sense. Go figure.
I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
Lee: Your suggestion is fair for a great many of the coins in the list. I am not ready to sign off on it as an "absolute", but certainly a fair starting point.
I personally believe the Wisc. High/Low leaf quarters are, indeed, ranked a little too high on the list.
Regarding 1964 vs. 1965 ... I believe at least some of this debate centered around whether to include the 1964-D Peace Dollar on the list. I never thought that coin should be on the list and still don't. I am sure the issue of 1964 vs. 1965 will come up again later this year and we'll see how it turns out.

Granted, some 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars were minted in 1965 and even 1966 but.........I don't think the 1964 Accented Hair Proof was. I also do not think that the cents and nickels were minted beyond 1964.
Maybe someone who knows for sure will chime in.

And, if it is determined (once again) that "moderns" start out in 1964, I am fine with that. I can then start to resubmit my 1964 Kennedy Half Dollars under the "modern tier" pricing

Dang Set!
I suppose this "Top 100 Moderns" set is the entire reason that "Modern submissions" got put back to 1965-present instead of 1956-present like it was last year.
Submitting 1956 through 1964 Type B and Type c Quarters during that time shaved $4.00 off the price of each coin submitted.

There are many interesting coins that deserve a shot at the Top 100 list and a few coins that should not be there (but are) right now. I believe some adjustments may take place within the next (90) days.

<< <i>The 1971-s Ike type 1 proof may be one of the great 20th century rarities and failed to make the list... interesting >>
Not enough hype.
Only a select few "really" care about Eisenhower Dollars but generally speaking, the coins are dissed as common. Regardless of what rarities show up.
The Type 1 proof currently has at least 5 known examples (despite what certain authors state) and has been searched for for years yet, only two prototype coins have been found.
You see, rarity is relative to desire. You could have 1 of a certain coin where only 1 exists but ............... if only 1 person wants it, it might as well be common, common, common.

The changeover date for 1964/1965 cents and nickels was December 29, 1965. A huge majority of 1965 cents and nickels were struck in the first several months of 1966.

Now I am confused- are you counting the protypes in the 5?
I do agree that there is no hype and that may be in part because the 1971-s type 1 proof is rare and little is known about them.
