How popular has this type of collecting been for the registry? I just took a quick glance and there aren't too many sets compared to the regular registry?

    I like it. I have my regular sets of Indian cents, Buffs and Mercs along with the Everyman's sets of each. It seems very popular to me, especially when I bid on an AU58 and the final selling price is sometimes triple the PCGS price guide. I think it is pretty insane a will not fall into that trap. I remain patient and only purchase AU58's when the price is fair.

    Everyman registry sets have caused demand and prices for barber coinage to increase substantially.

    I think the Everyman's Registry sets are a good way to start a set. I finished my Indian Quarter Eagle set, and now I have moved on to a MS set.
    I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.

    Especially in the highest AU grades ... ie: AU 58+

    Good point!

    Amazing that there are only 2 x 58+'s out there....

    I have only one AU 58+ - but it's a SLQ image

    Years down the road, after I finish my current set, I'd really like to do a xf-au walker set. I find that older coins have more eye appeal when they are a little dirty.

    i completed a walker set and now, with upgrades, have a second set working.
    the 1940's had been upgraded in MS as silver was exploding. i sold off some silver i had obtained at FV to fund the upgrades. image
    i am trying to have as many AU in the sets as possible.
