Makes sense. Too bad so many have to wreck things for others. Good luck building and hope to see the coins in the future.
Wow, amazing collection. Do you know where the coins you are seeking are currently located. Are there any where the location is unknown (other than Hansen)?

So they're not bidding to build just bidding to make life more difficult for you...smh. Hopefully they'll get tired of the game and move on.

I recently reviewed the Eliasburg set and the rating assigned is clearly wrong for a set not including proofs. Many of the coins listed are proofs with assigned MS grades. PCGS should really correct this inaccuracy.

People ask me why I dont post or put up coins on the registry. This is one of the reasons why. Glad you wont buy any of these coins from this individual.
What are you seeing on your $20s that have passed cac criteria? Originality, eye appeal or a coin that is free from problems? I know JA really likes the $20 gold series.
I salute you sir for your efforts and for taking the time to post this quest. Unc type 1 20's are what I would pursue if I wasn't tied up in another effort.
Thank you for posting.
