THIS WEEKS FINAL ADDITIONS FOR THE REGISTRY AWARDS

Last years registry awards were a thrill to me and being a winner was a real inspiration to step up my collecting and this year I did just that... in a serious way! I set out with the goal of winning best overall custom set. While I know this is a long shot, I looked long and far at coin shows, auctions and networking to acquire as many examples of global silver coinage from all eras, circulation and non circulating.

My collection THE GLOBAL SILVER COIN COLLECTION at the time of last years deadline for the registry awards contained 233 silver coins from 53 different countries. This year at the deadline the collection contains 427 silver coins from 80 different countries! Not only did I almost double the collection in size, but the coins I added were of much more value and scarcity. There have been a few coin collecting traditionalists on the chat boards that have tried to degrade my collection and I understand (I encourage those who do to please view my collections slide show). I know this is a hobby dominated by older men who collect exclusively circulation United States coinage and I respect their passion and bankrolls! But I collect solely precious metal coins (silver) of very limited mintage, many of my coins are the only graded examples or the finest graded example. Within my custom registry set there are 9 #1 competitive sets and many more within the top tier. Besides the Dan Hughes collection I know of no other more extensive collection of global silver in the registry. I dont know of many others that can say such....

Happy collecting and best of luck finding those rare and elusive coins!

My final additions this week are:

*NGC MS 62 1947 Panama Balboa, limited mintage of 500,00 and NGC total pop of 187.

*NGC PF 68 2011 Andorra 5 Dinars , limited mintage of 2,500 and NGC total pop of 8.

*NGC PF 67 2000 Gibraltar 1 Royal, limited mintage of 10,000and NGC total pop of 3.

*NGC VF 30 1789 Germany 16 Schillings, limited mintage of 80,000 and this is the only NGC graded example.
