IPOTAD III - Tied for 2nd All Time Finest. Of course, it's a very congested 2nd place.

nice set, but i'm sure you could trade someone a few Ah kennedys for a PF 70 washington

mbbiker,

I was thinking about doing something like that around, oh, the end of July or so.

Hey Russ - Welcome to the 2nd place log jam. I see your listed right next to the Fat-Man Collection. Congrats.

Russ, I have a really nice 1982-S Washington that is DCAM - I'll sell it to you with the original mint packaging. I'm sure it would go PR70 DCAM with ACG.

Me too.

holy moly there sure is alot of 2rd place Modern Commemorative Half Dollars in the registry. Russ what you need is a couple of ms70 to put all the #2s in 3rd place.

Hey Russ,
I feel honored the one coin you felt worthy of a photo was the one you bought from me. I get all nostalgic looking at it.

Congrats Russ. Nice job. Nice photo on the Soccer half too. mdwoods

Jay,

Don't get too excited. I happen to have had it out and handy when I was doing the shots for my modern proof type set. It automatically got entered in the halves.

Soon, all 15 coins will have pics.

I should note, though, that it is hands down, flat-out a PQ piece and one of only three in the set that I didn't have to return at least once before getting one that was acceptable. Jay is the man!

Modern commem halves? Careful, Russ, or you are going to expose yourself as multi-dimensional ... Enjoy it while it lasts, for awhile, I had the No. 1 All-Time Finest 1940 Proof Set before some other n'er do wells had the audacity to enter their coins!

Sorry, meant to ask, but I was distracted by Semper's pix ... what the heck does Ipotad III stand for anyway?

<< <i>what the heck does Ipotad III stand for anyway? >>

RGL,

It stands third after Ipotad and Ipotad II.

There's also Ipotad IV, V, VI, VII and Ipotad Retired. I added numerals at the end so I wouldn't get confused and mix up my various sets.
