I recently "discovered" and started a Registry Set.

Never really paid attention to them other than the occasional look-see when someone posted a link to one.

For one reason or another I have accumulated about 10 or 12 decent Washington Quarters.
There they set in the blue box and I was trying to think of a way to play with them more and that's when it dawned on me to check into registry sets.
So, I started one and am now 30th out of 32. image

I was very surprised to see the level of detail provided when adding inventory.
Especially the ability to export to a .csv file.

I see you can also you can add other TPG coins as well as raw. I did not do this. Only added coins for my set

My question is does anyone here add coins to the inventory with no intentions of using them in a set?
Just to kind of keep track of your collection?

    I like the 1949 the best. Very nice an original. Well, all of yours are nice and original, just the 1949 stands out in my eyes.

    I've been out of the registry game for a while now, but I did not know PCGS now allows raw and other TPG coins. Is this true for all sets?

    You can add them to your inventory but can NOT add them to a registry set.

    Congrats on starting that set, I just moved up into 25th and its a great place to be able to see all your coins in one place besides the SDB. Love your toners and you need to do the Varieties while doing this set....Enjoy imageedited for spelling

    Yes unlike some here I am not slab biased and have coins in my collection are not in PCGS holders, or any holder for that matter. Thus I only have one registry set on this site but all my inventory is in the system.

    Cool, and I wonder how hooked you will eventually become?

    I like the 1952!!

    I see you don't have to look very far up the lists and you encounter some serious head wind.

    Attractive group of Washingtons. image Given how many have similar toning, were they originally raw in an album or something and then you slabbed them?

    I don't have a registry set, but I do record all my cert numbers using the "My Inventory" feature of the registry. I do this as an online record and also to block anyone who might have seen or recorded my cert numbers and then decided to use them in a fake listing on the registry.

    This is a good idea. I don't want to get back into the registry game, but I will "rebuild" my inventory in this way.

    Thanks. No I did not have them slabbed. I assume they were Mint Set examples slabbed by others.

    Nice start.

    I also like the 49' and 52' which to me have the look of coins coming out of aftermarket 5 coin mint set holders Like this 1964 Set one on ebay rather than from a government issued mint set.
    I'd like my copper well done please!

    Ok, so a few do this and I think I might try this as well.

    In addition to PCGS I'll enter the other TPG slabs and maybe some of my better raw coins.
