I am an active participant in the everyman registry at PCGS with toned Morgan and Peace dollars. I considered participating in the everyman mint state sets as well, except when it was rolled out, no MS64+ coins were allowed. I wrote several individuals at PCGS and there is no plan to change this for the foreseeable future. It is my sincere hope that coins at the top of the grade be included in such sets. It is counterintuitive not to include "the best of the grade". I am pretty anxious to cross out many toned peace dollars to CACG as I feel they don't have a place in any other registry.
Also, might I suggest that we make registry sets for Redfield Peace Dollars apart from Morgans? No other TPG does this.
Everyman collecting may be considered "novelty" by other TPG's, but I highly suggest that it be taken seriously at CAC. It enriches the coin community and gives people a chance to start sets they may never have considered.
Comments
For coins with CAC stickers from other TPG’s, have the above function work for BOTH sets of Registries - the Registry for coins with and without CAC stickers, and also the stricter Registry, which limits coins to only those approved with a CAC sticker or CACG.
I’d like for it to have the ability to have coin photos uploaded by us, including True Views. I’m hoping coins graded by CACG will have a very high quality, state of the art photo service that automatically includes photos of each coin graded by CACG.
What are the Terms of Use and who 'owns' the image of the coin?
Note that PCGS retains the image rights to the coin and may use the imagery as we see fit. That said, you are free to use the TrueView images however you like. This may include online sales or Set Registry listings, personal photo albums, or the creation of wall art or other décor that feature your coins.

I suppose that could change in the future, but for now you can use them freely.
I like the old NGC registry's digital spreadsheet ability for keeping track of coins. You can still backdoor access it on their registry site, but not sure it is readily accessible on their new updated (5 years ago) site.
Put protections in place to avoid dealers clogging up registry with their "client collections." NGC's $10 Indian registry is basically unusable because a dealer X1X1X1 has 15 years' worth of "client collections" cluttering (59 0f 100) the top 100.
Encourage people who no longer own their coins to remove them, or retire their sets.
The PCGS "What If" feature is a nice addition.
NGC has a brand new photography service that is the best of the best. I am surprised that nobody else has mentioned this on this forum.
DL Hansen doesn't like that idea
I called the registry police and they wouldn't pick up the phone.
