Who has complete circ raw set and are working on PCGS uncirc set

but have no intention of selling your original raw set? I have an almost complete set of raw, circulated mercs that I am keeping despite working on a slabbed MS set of the same. Do you keep them for nostalga, too much of a hassle to sell or because you like the look of the set in whatever album it currently resides?

    In Two Cent pieces I'm working on both a raw circ set, (complete except for the 1872), and a PCGS graded mint state set. The PCGS set is slow going because the coins are elusive in the grade range I can afford. Have five of the nine so far.

    Edited to add: The circ set is housed in an old Wayte Raymond page (thanks Clank!):

    The 1873 is a proof only issue.

    you could roll over some of the profits from your accented hair ventures into a circ'd 73!

    to answer the title of the thread, i'm not. but i have several circ raw sets where i am working on a parallel unc set. this is true of washingtons, jeff's, v's, mercs, ihc's, lincolns, slqs, just to name a few. actually i have a couple of parallel unc jeff's, both are exceptional sets.

    Uh, Karl, that would mean I'd have to sell some. What are you smoking?

  • I did the easy ones:

    Silver Eagles, SAC, and Ike Proofs - A set of each and I plan to keep them both.

    I am working on Washington's, have 8 to go which includes all the proofs (I need a cheap 1936 proof). I won't even try
    to collect the PCGS set as I don't have room for over 250 slabs and the fundsimage
