There is 1 new set that although it is at #61 the GPA is 69.02!! with 49% complete. That IMO is probably a short set with all the highest possible grades - simply amazing. Gerry is this you?

61 . 69.02 49% 100% 20.92

There was also a new top 15 set added. I just can't hold my own by adding coins. image

    Whosever set it is, it is "only" one position ahead of mine. Again, this is only my personal opinion, but I think it is very childish to register a set with the name "." and then to hide it. The registry is supposed to be fun and enjoyable for everyone. Sometimes I think the perception of "competition" drives some people to act in a way that doesn't fit in with my idea of what fun and enjoyable should be. Oh well. Everyone to his own thing.

    Brian, it does NOT look like Gerry's set (mathimatically speaking). The set has 127 of the 419 registry points. So it looks like it is more than the short set, but a 1930-1958 set and then another 3 point coin (maybe the 1929?)

    to get it's score, it would need 10 points of 68RD's (and I would think that Gerry would have more than that)

    My guess it is 29 (only P),30-58 all 67RD except
    31-S 66RD
    30-P 68RD
    34-P 68RD
    35-P 68RD
    39-D 68RD
    40-P 68RD
    and one other 1 point 68RD (40-S, 42-S or 55-S)

    unless it has a 1919 MS68RD instead of the 1929 and then it doesn't have one of the following 30-P, 34-P,35-P,39-P in MS68RD

    but that is just my guess :>

    My guess is he/she has a bunch of early dates, maybe an early s in ms65, d in ms66 or a P in ms67, all would count as a 69. Out of 129 weighted coins he/she would only need 3 weighted 70's and the rest 69's to be at 69.02 (I'm a math Ph.D. student!). Could be a 68 1919 or a date from the 30's. I highly doubt he/she has all the short set in 67. Lauren's Lincolns is getting pretty close to that though!

    haletj,
    Here is some more info, maybe we can figure it out (I always like a good math problem). The only pre 1930 coins that can give you the 70's (and are NOT spoken for):

    1917 MS68RD 4 weight pop 2 (1 in blay's set)
    1918-D MS67RD 5 weight pop 1
    1919 MS68RD 3 weight pop 14
    1919-S MS66RD 5 weight pop 1

    Since the set is 49% done he must have 68 or 69 coins. Still too many "unknowns to solve". The set could easily have different "69 point" coins. I just think that he is more likely to have MS68RD's of the short set then the pop 1's above. Since the person needs 117 points of "69" coins, and 7 points of "70 coins" (if they have the 1943 coins, then they would need 10 points of 70), I still think it has MS68RD's. The earlier set I suggested is NOT possible since it does not give you the 49% complete. So I am guessing the person has a:

    1919 MS68RD (weight 3 "70 point" coin)
    1943 PDS MS68 (weight 1 "68 point" coins)
    34-P MS68RD (weight 2 "70 point" coin)
    35-P MS68RD (weight 2 "70 point" coin)
    39-D MS68RD (weight 2 "70 point" coin)
    40-P MS68RD (weight 1 "70 point" coin)

    and then 60 coins that have a weight of 114 and each gives you (69 points, mostly MS67RD's in the short set but they will not give you the 114 weight)

    Just my thoughts

    Hi!
    I still think he only needs 2 or 3 points of 70. (If no steel cents, funny the steel cents are the easiest in ultra high grade but drops his/her gpa!) Tell me if I'm doing this correct...

    125 ms69's + 2 70's = 127 weighted coins
    (69*125 + 70 * 2)/127 = 69.01574
    124 ms69's + 3 70's = 127 weighted coins
    (69*124 + 70 * 3)/127 = 69.02362

    So just one short set ms68 would do. I think Gerry has the ms66 19-s? Boy the 18-d would be interesting coin if he/she had it! What about David Shweitz (sorry if I spelled his name wrong). He posts here, right? Does he have the 65rd 26-s or could this set be his? Hmm. If you have all the short set (71 coins) minus 34-d,35-s,36-s, and all p's 46-56, and minus the steel cents, that's 54 coins weighted at 68. Se he/she'd need 15 more coins weighted at 59 to have 69 coins weighted to 127. Let's see thats about 3.93 per coin, so there has to be a few early S's in ms65... and some of the 3 pt P's in ms67, maybe an ms66 late teen d. Wow, so this set sure does have some nice coins!!!! And this is assuming the worst for the short set (and no steel cents), a few more short set coins in 67 (which would be great ones!) would mean the early coins would have to carry more weight (say more S's!).

    I've seen a few ms65 S's sell to people who didn't have registry sets (or at least they were never added to a set) Legend's 19-s and 23-s, one of the 17-s's and one of the 27-s's between Sadler's and Dpoole's sets. Maybe these coins are in this set.
