I was was trying to get this set complete before the set registry awards were doled out, but as usual, I'm a dollar short and a day late.

lt may be impossible to complete this set, but I have come mighty close.
This is an easy set to complete in modern holders, but ridiculously difficult to complete in rattlers. After over 5 years trying (and sometime overpaying for plastic), I offer this set for your comments.
All population figures in the comments are from the September 1989 PCGS Population Guide. I truly welcome any assistance in acquiring rattlers to replace any of the dozen or so coins I have in modern holders as placeholders.

That is seriously cool! Well done! Are there any particular coins that have a zero or 1 pop in all grades in a rattler holder?
There are quite a few of them with really low or zero pops

At least all of the coins in my set existed t one time. I'm hoping that someone who reads this will find one I need stuck in the back of their closet.
That is quite a nice set!
If I come across one, I'll try to remember to PM you. Good luck. It is a very neat idea for a set. Not that anyone would ever want to, I wonder how many would grade higher today.
Thank you. I wouldn't have been able to get this far without help from others.
Well done!!
