Lowball Commems In The PCGS Registry

I will state unequivocally that Not Mint to Be complete type set of honestly circulated classic silver commemorative is an amazingly difficult collecting accomplishment that must have taken many, many years of dedicated searching to acquire.

When I started chasing these coins a few years back that collection was a tremendous beacon for me ... giving some hope that a complete set was possible ... and setting the standard for low-ball excellence that will never be exceeded.

To some collectors the idea of "Registry Sets" brings forth mental images of well-heeled investors paying crazy prices to chase the 'numbers' in a self-serving way ... that is not the case with the small but tight-nit circulated commemorative collector community.

All of us know each other and regularly correspond via e-mail to share the joy of ordinary (not rich ) folks connecetd by a passion to achieve a very difficult collecting goal.

This is a very difficult collecting goal to achieve ... and as I have shared personally with the OP ... anyone with enough $ and some paitence can replicate my humble MS commemorative set ... but it takes a special passion to wait for years hoping the market makes available many of these coins.

Those are my views ... and I'm sticking with them.
