I'm working on all of the circulating modern sets except the sacs but none are registered yet. Will probably start the sacs in a couple years. ...and I might do a proof set or two.
Wow, look at the number of people without any registry sets, and there I thought they were a popular concept!
I wouldn't post one of my sets until it was very well along its way. None of my collections are at that point yet. But it makes me wonder how many people are out there in the same boat: They like the Registry concept but their collections are not yet ready to post. If that's a common situation, the future for this form of collecting may be bright indeed. (That doesn't necessarily make "registry collecting" a good investment, by the way.)

I have three registry sets, but they are all "across the street." The reason is that I have both NGC and PCGS coins and since only PCGS can be entered here, it's not worth my time.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?

I'd like to make a few points here from a pure collector's perspective. Registry sets are a fantastic way of collecting because you can track your progress and see how your sets compare against other people. Registry sets that are only a single coin large should be logged because they encourage collecting and completion with specific goals. Also, as a pure collector, I personally don't care about the investment aspect, so "registry collecting" is a pure hobby to me.

You can list one war nickel in 13 sets. I have 9 sets listed, but can increase it by 12 by listing my War nickels in the other sets they can be in as well as multiple Morgan sets (with my 2 Morgans) and the Modern Commem sets with my 1 commem.
Should be able to have 24+ sets without buying another coin.

You can do the same without registering your set. But don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to discourage anyone from registering their set early. I'm only pointing out that there may be many more people like me that will post their sets only after achieving more notable progress. The potential size of the Registry community may be larger than you think.

What is your/their reasoning behind this? What difference does it make when the set is registered?
I'd have two reasons for posting a set:
The first is ego. In my case, I don't have enough coins in my sets to justify boasting.
The second is to advertise that I'm in the market for the missing coins. In my case, there's no need to advertise because there are so many holes in the sets that I'm having no trouble spending enough money to keep myself broke. That will change when I get closer to completion.

What really blows my mind is someone that has a set at or near the top of the heap of a particular set, but has sold the set to someone else over a year ago only if they promise not to register it so he can keep his current status at the top! Talk about an ego!!!

I may someday register a complete type set with gold, and it would go top 20, maybe top 10 right away.
.... that is, after I paid the thirty bucks per coin, ouch!

If they ever do a basic type set for 19th and 20th century nongold coins, I might play.
