German 3 Mark complete set (circulation strikes) finished!!

Reuniting the Empire. It's not as easy of a task as it seems.
This all started a few years ago with a refound love for the German Empire coins. Specifically 3 Mark silver coins. I had some already but started to get some graded ones. Some REALLY good graded ones. I had a few going into a huge auction which included the Cape Coral collection of 3 Marks. Both circulation and proof strikes. The proof ones are another story, for another time.
Unfortunately I missed the grading deadline for this year's #setregistry at #pcgscoins #pcgs, but that's ok. I'm very happy to have been able to pull this off anyhow. Many thanks to those auction houses and personal contacts that I have made that have worked with me along the way. Plenty of insight from additional collectors and new friends have been made as well. I thank you all.
Go to https://www.pcgs.com/setregistry/alltimeset/201066 to check the set first hand. I will be upgrading where possible and I am sure I am not finished. But it is complete! #Germany #Deutschesreich #Kaiserreich #Kaiserreichsilber #Deutschland #3mark #Dreimark #toppop #Gottmituns #pcgseurope

    I was the owner of the Cape Coral 3 mark collection except for some of the KR 3 mark proofs, which the real Cape Coral owner added . You have done a great job with 3 marks and keep it going.

    Thank you! I have an extensive 3 Mark proof collection going now as well. Some are a bit out of reach at the moment. I do have others for sale and am always looking....

    In your sets, I see a few that I once owned. I also had a complete 3 mark type set of the regular issues in unc and proof, which PCGS didn't have a set for. Started in 2002 and sold in 2019. I still miss them.

    Wow! You've been busy. I feel like it was just yesterday that I looked at your set and it was 2/3rds complete.

    Don't worry about the registry awards. It's clear you have one of the best sets.

    Thank you. There is some competition here though. ;)

    JohnJohn10 bought over 20 of the three marks. I know him pretty well, but he is a little scattered in his sets and has over a hundred.
