Silver Commems set update, 6 months in.

pcgscacgold

I have been collecting silver commems for 6 months now. I started by collecting only CAC Rattlers. I received an offer for other slabs that I could not refuse and expanded the set to CAC Doily's, a CAC White Label NGC, a CAC Fatty 4.0 and CAC OGH PCGS slabs. I now have 34 different coins in the set (one Iowa Rattler repeat, and a SD 36-D repeat makes 36 total slabs). I picked them up today to add the two new ones and will have everyone back in the SDB bright and early tomorrow. I also acquired 2 Rattler PCGS slab boxes to go with the set.
.
I have posted most of these already. Several of you have reached out to share your CAC Rattler Silver Commem collections. It appears to be a very popular way to collect the coins in this very large set. It also makes it hard to win these at auction. Many of the Gold CAC are top pops but unmarked in the photo. That has been corrected.

First the newest two CAC Ratts and then group photos.

I love this series and can recall telling folks in 1993-1994 that I thought they had bottomed out and would be a good buy going forward. Oh well.

I've always thought the BTW could come with insane luster and the Wisconsin always cracked me up because I think of Arm & Hammer while looking at a pile of...errr...something behind it, but I've always liked that issue. I realize the image is small, but the Bay Bridge, Hawaiian and Rhode Island look fabulous. Where is the Connecticut? It is my favorite one.

Thanks @TomB
Need a great Connecticut 😊

I’ve posted those three as larger shots in prior threads. They are amazing for sure.

I just mention the Connecticut because it is my favorite commem.

Lovely!

Is that a CAC MS66 Hawaiian buried in there? I had to pull out my magnifying glass to confirm it.

If you open the image in a new tab and right click it then it becomes quite large and you can see the Hawaiian.

@DisneyFan , yes and is the star of the show for sure. I would like to see if there is anyone at Central States or ANA taking photos so I can replace these two posted below.

@pcgscacgold, wonderful grouping of your CAC rattlers and doilys. That’s quite an undertaking, but the results are spectacular!
As you know, I have also acquired an affinity for these classics, although in a different direction. What fun and best of luck in your future searches.
Zack.

Thanks @jfriedm56 I always enjoy your updates on both the Commems and SLQ's. You have a great eye and find amazing coins.

Really nice set.

Old_Collector

Awesome set. I'm too picky and concentrated on just the Texas set in PCGS/CAC 67 or 67+ with nice toning. I'm fighting off the urge to go big into commemoratives. Right now I am too focused on building a 1916 mint set in PCGS and CAC, which requires a full $$ commitment and a lot of time.

pcgscacgold

Texas is a great looking Commem @Old_Collector I hope to add a few more of those along the way.

The 1916 set sounds like fun. I kicked around the idea of doing a 1908 Gold set. With 14 coins it would be a challenge now that gold is around $5000.
