erwindoc Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 (edited) Im curious why the main Washington quarter registry set includes two varieties in it? Why not move the two 1950 OMMs (S/D, D/S) into a newly created variety set and include a few more coins? There are lots of major DDO/DDR/RPM/OMM that could be included. None of the other series from that era, from cents to halves include varieties in the main set and each has a separate variety set as an option. The link to the main set composition is below...

BlakeEik Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Great point @erwindoc! NGC is not consistent with this concept at all. Look at the CC Morgan S$1 set. Why include two rarities? Why not have separate sets: one with rarities and one without? Agree with you 100%. But their response has typically been "that is better suited for a custom set" without providing any rationale.

I am actually arguing the point that the varieties don't need to be in there currently, but I will respect the decision of your senior numismatic team.

Thank you, erwindoc. According to our senior team, the S/D and D/S varieties are significant enough to justify separate slots. We also have 119 and 146 NGC-graded, respectively. Please let us know when we may assist in the future. Edited October 8, 2019 by Ali E. erwindoc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quarterman24 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I also agree that the 1950 OMMs (S/D, D/S) really do not fit in the Complete Washington Quarter set and should be moved to a new variety set. Really a complete Washington Quarter Set should include the 1934 Light, Medium, Heavy Mottos and the 1934-D Medium and Heavy Motto quarters and not the 1950 varieties.

Please let us know when we may assist in the future. I do not think that the feedback you are getting is due to a lack of representation. The suggestions are due to the way they are represented. Some collectors may collect varieties, but many do not and don't want to see those empty, irrelevant holes in their sets. And if they do, they would like to see more represented in the registry. Giving a single hybrid option is unusual, awkward, and wonky. I think most collectors would much prefer an approach like the way you represented Walking Liberty half dollars (e.g. circulation issues, and circulation issues (with varieties)). NGC got that one right! Custom sets are more appropriate for hybrid sets, not vice-versa. I already understand that there is little chance of seeing any change here, so I am not expecting one. I'm just offering another opinion in support of seeing a clean, logical, and consistent registry to give your customers a pleasing experience, including me.
