Poll Question
In building a registry set via NGC coins from PCGS are also allowed to be entered. How do you feel about this if you were building a set? If you are building a registry set for possible resale, does that change your feeling? Results
| Keep the set from one company, matching slabs add to the visual appeal |

Registry sets are basically for the overly interested in coins as a buisness. My opinion of course. I like coin collecting as a hobby and don't want to get caught up in over kill.

Opinions are like AAAmericans, lots of them. So as one more American with an opinion, I can see value in a registry set. For me, the value of a registry set is not in increased worth. I am seriously considering working on making my Lincoln collect a registry set, not for value, but because it has given me new reason to be involved with the set. I am finding great enjoyment in going thru the process of upgrading coins. This has also allowed me to take, in most cases, a very nice coin that has been upgraded and help someone else either add a coin they did not have or allow them to upgrade. So, at least for me, planning a registry set and the involvement is the reward, even if I never finish it. Jim  |

Registry Sets are not for me, but I have no trouble seeing their interest and value. My opinion would be to keep them all from one grader, if your interest is in later liquidating them as a unit. If the set was planned to liquidate by pieces, I don't think the differing slabs would matter.
If it were me building the set, I would definitely use both companies.

Registry sets have done their best to kill the hobby.
Drop back ten & punt.
Just wait until those folks try to sell their MS-3,000 coins and get 1/100th of what they paid.

I actually use NGC's registry more then PCGS's just for the fact that they do allow both

Hey...if you like registry sets, go for it. I have no real interest along those lines, but can certainly see the attraction, and not just generally for liquidation at some later date, but specifically if you are planning on leaving the coins to your heirs who do not necessarily know or understand coin collecting. Having those coins slabbed will keep the unitiated from cleaning them or otherwise diminishing their collectability through improper handling, etc. It will also greatly simplify their selling of the coins by giving them guidance as to the coins' grades and expected value.

Registry sets aren't my thing, as I like too many different coins, and getting all those high grade ones gets REAL expensive. With that said, each to his own, and I would say, mix the slabs. It's the coin inside that matters, imo.

It's the coin's appeal not the service. Sometimes not even the grade!

I believe thatr this forum stands for building and gaining knowledge. So I think it is wise to decide whether wat sets you prefer in the collection and if it is worth its money.
