Its my opinion that during the next year, you will find at least 4 sets changing
positions as all are very close numerically. As a few pop 1 coins are made, the positions will
be a changing. In play are Jay Ross, EBL, Scheibe and Honneycut. Of course, there is always
the possibility of a silent set or two, waiting in the wings to blow us away.
Nothing like a hot contest to get the blood moving. It would be nice if all were to show their cards
so to speak, but I understand the reasons for closing ones set. Dont want your competetor
to know too much about ones set I guess. It may be foolish on the part of three set owners
keeping our sets open, but I kind of like that type of play. Bear (Jay Ross Collection)

I'm happy if you sell your duplicates coins for me.

However my Proof Washington quarter sets will be auctioned on E-Bay By R&I Coins around the
end of the week. Lots and lots of PR-70DC there.

I thought your proof Washington set sold in July last year? You have more?

1964-1998 Pr Wash set is new on the auction market. This set does not rank in the top 5 sets because
it is missing the 1966 and the 1971 coins.

four figures, sometimes in the highest range. If I could figure a way to get
my wifes engagement ring off of her paw, I might be able to hock it and buy some more coins.
But Mrs Bear is awfully smart, and even when she sleeps, I cant get near that ring. Bear

in the same grade. Even though it does not increase your score, it improves the overall quality.
Make or purchase Pop 1 coins as they may be made in the near future. Finally, I have been looking for
a PR 70 DC clad 1995 for several years. I was just a little late on the last two sold. I rely not only on
several dealers, but on the kind information of Forum members who give me a heads up when
upgrade Registry coins are available. I started assembling my set in 1992 with the bulk of it
purchased in 1998. In my opinion, anyone trying to start a set today to reach the top 5 sets
would find the task most frustrating and extremely expensive. The only way to obtain the
needed PR-70DC specimins and SMS Proofs, would be as top sets are liquidated thru sale or auction.
In order to
raise the cash to make a run for first place, required me to sell my Proof Wash sets as well as
my duplicate coins. Most of us collectors must sell something in order to buy something. As with
most of us working stiffs, we each set our goals and dreams, what ever they may be and
do what is necessary to achieve that goal. Of course, it is very helpful to have a kind and
understanding spouse.

Congratulations.
Your explanation is fantastic and absolute truly regarding the newcomers like me, Larry and Charlie. All of us started our sets recently, 2 years in my case, and actually looks to us very complicated any upgrades, be for the difficulty of locating the coins and when located for the value of each one of them.
I’m very happy when I see my set inside of the Top 5, but, as part of my personality, always still trying one step more, as almost all collectors, I suppose. That's the beautiful part.
100% right also about the understanding spouse.
Is important you know that we feel well to see your set, so close of the “perfect set”.
On behalf of the diligent newcomers, thank you very much for your advices,
Edson
PS – I suggest that coins POP 1 will be designated by UN as “Patrimony of the Humanity”
