Anonymous Collection Names Registry

Zoins

There are a lot of collectors out there that want to remain private or simply not have their name so closely associated with their possessions but still have their collections be know. This thread is to celebrate those collectors and assemble a list of those collections.

Post them if you know them!

Here's some to get the thread going:

1. Cardinal - Early Dollars, Libertas Americana
2. Cosmique (David Snider) - So-Called Dollars
3. Duke's Creek - Dahlonega gold
4. Gotham - So-Called Dollars
5. Legend - silver dollars
6. Missouri Cabinet - half cents

Is your definition "any collection that has a name other than that of the collector"?
It seems most registry sets would meet this definition.
And I think it's fairly well known who some of the collectors are/were in your list.

Agreed. Online registries and even chat forums have certainly changed things. For this effort, it may be worth sticking to collections that have reasonable provenance in auction sales and/or on slab inserts.

OK, and I suppose "notable" could be defined by being the top set at some point in time?

Whomever bought the Farouk Saint for $18+M - even if his/her collection is just one coin, it's pretty notable

I appreciate those that have the passion, time and finances to put together collections of the finest coins available. It's great to have this medium to share them versus having the locked away somewhere only available for viewing by a few.
