Has anyone seen the May 13th Coinworld which has an article about the PCGS Set Registry? It is on page 64. One interesting quote from the article:

      I am glad I am not the only one to notice that!

      One merc thread..... 60 replys over 10 days. (neat and clean) Merc threads I check the first few replys.... then my eyes glaze over. I see that dame thing getting bigger by the day.... but I am to lazy to look to see what their up too! Whatever it is... it can't be good!image

      OK. Thats it You Type Guys are Going to Get Threaderized from Now On.
        Any Time I Even think about a Merc the Thought Will Hit the Forumn.
          Tell Me Now why in the Heck were there so Many Problems with the Merc Strikes in 1918 and 1925 ?image Also the 1924 Planchets were inferior. What was Up with That ? And the Last Question. The 30S is Damn hard to Find but the Pop is Fairly High. Has a Person Hoarded these ?
            Thats It for this 10 Minute Stretch. Stay Tuned for More.image

              It's a good article for someone who knows little or nothing about the PCGS and NGC registries, briefly explaining what they are and how they work. I suppose we can expect an influx of new sets and visitors to the message boards as a result. The more the merrier!

              I'll go along with the 1918 Merc's as being poorly struck, but the 1925' s aren't so bad, other than a tendency for the "5" in the date to be weak. It seems a lot of the 1924 Merc's have granular planchets; they're tough to find with nice, satiny surfaces. As for the 1930-S, there was a period back around 1991 when someone had obviously submitted an entire roll, possibly two, to PCGS. They appeared in practically every Teletrade auction for a couple of months before being absorbed by the market, sometimes with 5-10 pieces in a single auction. I don't think any of them graded less than MS64. I settled for an MS64 no bands coin, which is in my registry set.
