Has anyone noticed that the High Desert Collection US Type Set is no longer 100% complete?

  Does anyone know who owns it?

  If memory serves, the owner of that set used to post occasionally on the forums in my early days here, circa 2011-2002. I came along right after the conversion to these "new" boards, I guess, and I was playing on the Registry at the time, specifically in the type sets. I remember ogling that collection with amazement. Haven't gone back to look at it since, though.

  The set is obscured anyway so what does it really matter to those who aren't in the inner circle to see the contents?

  Seems to me that has to be either a software glitch, or an error
  after he had some coins out for viewing at one of the shows.
  
  I've hit the wrong button before and deleted some pieces.

  Yes, my understanding is that the High Desert Type Set has been complete for a long time, and has remained complete the whole time.
  
  High Desert has other registry sets. Indeed, the High Desert set of Walkers was on display in Philadelphia and will be on display in Long Beach this week.

  You can't see the set.....so it really doesn't really exist as far as I'm concerned.
  
  So who cares!

  I have to agree, for me the point of having a registry set is to show it off not hide it.

  If you need a coin bad for your set, would you want a dealer to know that?

  Registry obscure sets are a joke. Why bother?

  I collect Capped Bust series by variety in PCGS AU/MS grades.
