A Registry Milestone For Everyone

collections are soaring

A recent posting by NGC got me surfing through some of the dark recesses of this site. The comment I read was about the new record number of registry participants this year. Maybe the economic recession is not as bad as thought?..or maybe investors see the track record of coins as a long-term investment and have looked for other options besides stocks to invest in?..or maybe there are just more people discovering just how much fun and satisfaction there is in collecting coins and building ( and completing) a nice registry set.

I don't Facebook, MySpace, Twitter or even text message..the registry has become my on-line community of friends. I really do love when I check my email and find that some of my friends here at CS/NGC have sent me a message. It's great to have people who share a common interest and a place where we can share our love of the hobby-- even though our tastes/preferences can be very diversified.

The Registry Record I spoke of is something I noticed while surfing around on the site. I checked the Overall Registry points and noticed that recently, a 100,000 point collection will no longer rank a person in the top 500 !! That is quite a testament to the growing popularity of our hobby, the great job done here at the registry and most of all, the time and effort we the collectors have invested in our collecting.

On a side note, if you do not take the time occasionally to view some of the amazing sets in this registry you really are missing something. I noticed that the #1 overall set was around 4,000,000 points ahead of the second place set. I recommend to everyone to check out Yeoldone's seated half dime and dime collections--sets that are beyond words.

Keep up the enthusiasm and please, please, please....post pictures !!
