What is longest running #1 Registry set?

With so many Registry Sets built, many sold, I was curious as to which set or sets have occupied the #1 position for the longest duration.

I know of a few that have been for as long as 9 years, but I'll bet there may be some that top that.

    do retired #1's count, or just active ones?

    In order to be the longest running set at #1, it would have had to be numero uno in 2002 and every year since. After posing the question I have identified two sets that have 10 year stints.

    This is an area that PCGS may want to provide special recognition, not only for achieving the number one spot, but holding on to it despite competition or the urge to sell.

    I will see what responses others come up with for sets, and will indicate what two sets I already discovered.

    You never responded to the question of the set being retired or active.

    I've found 3 active and 1 retired that have been #1 since 2002. And I've only looked in two categories.

    I presume retired sets do not count.

    So I'm still at 3 active in one category.

    Looks like no one is jumping on this one. So I'll list the 3 current sets I know of. I haven't looked for others. Knew of these because I own sets in the same categories.

    All three owned by High Desert under Type Sets, Era Type Sets, 20th Century Type Set:

    No Gold, Circ Strike
    No Gold, With Type Variations, Circ Strike
    No Gold, With Type Variations

    DAM has identified High Desert, which is one that I found, as well, but is really three different sets.

    I still know of another. A hint. Look under the Hall of Fame and see which sets in 2002 got special recognition and see which were and still are #1.

    I figured that any retired set could not reach 10 years unless it was retired in 2011 after the recognition was given.

    High Desert's Complete Set 1792 - 1964. It is a HOF set.

    The other set I found was the California Morgan Dollar Set. There may be some others out there as there are thousands of different sets, and I know no easy or electronic way to search to find others.

    Still got my trade dollar set. It was listed in the old PAPER Registry that preceded the online version.
