The Red Book Challenge

MrEureka

Is anyone here trying to collect everything listed in the Red Book? Is there a Registry Set for that?

Many of the coins in the Red Book are truly unique. Probably an impossible task.

That would be an interesting registry set. I like that idea.

Of course, but not a problem.

Disagree. I would be very incomplete; however, we could ask Mr. Hansen to add Colonials to his set.

MrEureka

If this ever caught on, imagine the excitement every year anticipating new additions to the RB.

What a monumental task.... Something for a young collector to undertake.... not enough years left for we old timers. Cheers, RickO

Eliasberg had colonials, along with confederates, territorials, and medals. So it's more of a question of how much like Eliasberg Hansen wants to be.

I have collected a lot of the types in the Red Book, but not all of them. For example Bermuda, the Philippines and territorial gold are out.

I also like the idea because it lets a collector play the registry game without forcing them to specialize all that much.
