Subdivided Registry

Getting 1 registry account to represent 2 different (separate?) groups of coins.

When I originally joined the registry I was joining just for my own fun and to list my own coins. I started with 1 set, my eagles. My registry grew to contain 17 sets. Only 3 of which are anywhere near finished but almost all of them are sets I hope to one day complete. I'm getting off track though because I don't want to get caught up in that subject. The point is that this was my collection.

Several weeks ago my Step-father asked me if I'd help him with a project he had in mind, building birthyear sets for 8 (possibley 12 later) family members. To help me think about and plan this I added 8 new sets. They've spent several weeks as empty shells but this week I was finally told that I could begin hunting down coins (They'll soon have 3 coins between them). If everything goes well, all 8 of these sets could be complete in about 6 months. By coin count and point total, this group could quickly grow to be from a third to a half of my registry, if not more.

So now my registry has 2 distinct groups of sets; my sets (anything where the name starts with "Revenant's") and the collection I'm helping my step-father build (which I've named "The Wright Family Collection"). The naming system I've set up lacks the imaginative flare that I've seen displayed by some, but it serves the practical function of dividing sets between these two groups. The two groups come together under one account so that the collections can stand together as a united family of sets (The coins for both are actually stored together). I have an on going decision-making process to try to find what I feel is the best way to get the two groups to mesh well and best represent the collection(s) and my plans for it. I deleted one of my own sets (That I'd put a lot of time and thought into), going down to 16, because it would have become pointless and redundant in the face of a new upcoming set that'll be in the "Wright Family" arm of my registry. Another might soon follow. In total there are 25 sets currently in my registry, a number that's bound to change (and not necessarily go up short term) and though it may take years the sets that don't disappear will all grow and expand.

The name on the account remains Revenant. I'm still the only person with the password to this account. I'm the only one that speaks from this particular soap box and I don't represent multiple people.

I think I've been rambling for a while now... ah well. I get my Senior ring in 20 days! Thanks for reading and Gig'em!
