    Under "Edit your set" there is a heading Retire your Set" and "Retire your set and Inventory" Those appear to be links.

    Go in to the set you want to retire, after the set description there are two blue phrases, Retire Set or Retire Set and Inventory. If you just want to retire the sets and keep the coins in inventory click the first one. If you have sold the coins and don't need them for other sets click the second.

    Start by giving it a gold watch and moving to Florida.

    Is that still a tradition? https://www.forbes.com/sites/robertlaura/2013/01/26/saying-goodbye-to-retirement-traditions/#4986b9ca66a0

    Some companies still give a 'retirement' gift..... have not seen the gold watch routine in a long while.... Mine was cash and a plaque.... Not sure where the plaque is, but the cash is usually on my hip (nice firearm).... :) Cheers, RickO

    my Registry Set gets nothing except sold.

    I could get no higher than #4 without populating it with PR70's which is a bit irksome to me. the way everything is "weighted" more points can be gained by buying 70's, which are relatively common and cheap, versus buying 1950-1959 DCAM's which are "grade rarities" and prohibitively expensive in comparison. I actually purchased one DC+ coin which lost me points, yet I saw it as an upgrade. I also lost "Top Pop" bonus points for that same reason, which is absurd.

    I originally entered the Registry Set format to share and interact with like-minded collectors of the same type of coins, I met and PM'd with some and enjoyed the experience. the competition of MONEY wasn't a factor and being Numero Uno never entered my thinking. as it is, being current at Number 4 and now Retired at Number 7 pleases me but was never a goal.

    overall I think that the Registry concept made me a better collector and I'm grateful to PCGS for hosting it.
