   . Good suggestion for Ferd VI 1/2 Escudo, however I can't seem to create the set! Every time I hit the button to "Start this Set", it shows a list of all the possible coins, and waits for me to enter one to get things going. In this case I would want to select 1758-S JV Stars, however since PCGS set currently does not…

   There are and have been plenty of valid complaints but some of this is user error. Here are two sets that would match your 1/2 Escudo. You just need to Start one of the sets and then click the "Report a Cert That Should Match This Composite" button. https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/spain/spanish-1-2-escudo/673

   I just based my comments on my experience with the NGC Registry team. Their goal is to make sure that every coin they've slabbed has a competitive category. If you have an extremely rare variety, like I collect, you send in a petition and the next day they've entered it under the generic date for that item. And if no…

   This requirement to have a minimum of 5 different coins in your inventory before you can request a new set is completely "collector hostile" IMO. Consider this theoretical case ... . Suppose there are 8 different collectors that each have 3 or 4 coins of a prospective set consisting of 10 coins total. Between them, they…

   A lot of this will boil down to the mood swings of the Registry staff over the years. I don't know exactly what kind of labor actually goes into creating a new set, but I do expect it's a lot more than I'd typically assume. Designing a complex set just for someone who has one single coin can easily be seen as a waste of…

   . You obviously are in a different class from me. If I only started sets that I expect to complete, then I would never start any sets at all. As far as #1 top set goes, I have well over a dozen #1 sets in the NGC Registry with less than 5 coins each. I also have a PCGS #1 set with only ONE coin. ;)…
