Starting a new "mini" collection... Great coin hoards of the USA

Or something to that effect lol... Simply said I want to try to get a coin or 2 from each of the great hoards that have gotten labels... This now puts me up to 3 coins for the set (I have an MS60 walking liberty half from the Binion hoard)
Today I added a seated dime and half dime from the Stack's W 57th hoard/collection... The Saddle Ridge Hoard is next on my list (2 coins presently under bid) What do you guys think... good idea for a mini set? And any suggestions of other hoards that have been given labels would be appreaciated
You may soar with the eagles, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines!.

Interesting idea for a set of coins. Not something I would be interested in attempting, but I am sure many would find the concept alluring. I have never been interested in the provenance of coins - to me, the denomination, mint date, mint tell the story. Cheers, RickO
I don't know that you will find this designated on any labels, but I would want to have a large cent from the Randall hoard, they are pretty easy to attribute by grade and Newcomb number.

Wells Fargo (gold)
S. S. Central America
Virgil Brand (more of a hoard than a collection)
John Ford (more of a hoard than a collection; don't look for U.S. business strikes here)

GSA?
Hansen? I’ve heard his duplicates can run 4 or 5 deep so he might be considered a hoarder.
Didn’t someone once try to hoard all the proof 1909 Lincoln cents, or something like that?
LIBERTY SEATED DIMES WITH MAJOR VARIETIES CIRCULATION STRIKES (1837-1891) digital album
Betty Green hoard maybe? Or her son col. Green (something like that)
I think it would be a fun set to put together. Here's a couple.
Binion
Omaha Bank Hoard
Strange you mention S.S. Central America... was considering if the nugget i had with that label would fit with the "hoards" theme, I also have an 8 reales from the el Cazadore but that kinda kills the "of the USA" part lol

I would prefer straight graded coins in such a collection. While the label approach is interesting, why not also enhance one’s enjoyment of the coin itself while also helping the ease to sell when that time inevitably comes.

Fugio Bank of New York hoard.

I think that el Cazadore would be considered a shipwreck rather than a hoard.
I can see your point, however, in 40ish years of collecting, I have never "willingly" sold off any coin i purchased.. Traded a few and that was hard enough lol...
