I'd like to see some pics on that one.

Primo!! What's the "Weighted GPA" and how is that different from the "Set Rating"?

My exact thought!

Wow.

Those are incredible grades!

Note to self: don't compete in the George V 10 cent registry...

No doubt about it!

Why not? There's no shame in finishing second, or even below that. Most of my sets are currently wallowing in 3rd, with a total of 3 participants

I think the key word was "compete". Yes, feel free to participate in that set, but don't plan to "compete", or you will be disappointed.

The "weighted gpa" is the average weighted grade of the coins. The set rating is the weighted gpa multiplied by the percentage complete.

wow nice set!

MyWorldCoinTypeSet · October 4, 2005 6:46AM

This set is for sale in the Oct 2005 Torex auction.

Yes, I noticed...unfortunately the total price for the set would be over $125K if it sells for the estimate. How do you think it will do?

MyWorldCoinTypeSet · October 5, 2005 1:39AM

The estimates seem reasonable. Guess it will depend on how many bidders come with their pockets full of cash.

Numismatics · October 5, 2005 5:25AM

I am dreaming to have such great collection.

shirohniichan · October 5, 2005 5:40AM

When I see great registry sets like this one I want to slab my collection-- then I remember my coins aren't this nice.

Very Very Nice......Congrats.

ROBERTB · November 2, 2005 10:14AM

How much do you think he'd pay for the 1917 in MS68? It's the only top pop he doesn't have.

ajaan · November 3, 2005 5:09AM

Also needs the 1919 top pop coin.

shirohniichan · November 3, 2005 5:52AM

All this talk about "top pops" reminds me of beer cans.

ajaan · November 3, 2005 6:58AM

Shiroh, surely you are too young to remember the pull tabs on beer and pop (soda) cans.

shirohniichan · November 4, 2005 10:46AM

<< Shiroh, surely you are too young to remember the pull tabs on beer and pop (soda) cans.

I can remember back when we didn't even have pull tabs or cans. We used to drink out of bottles with corks in 'em. Course you had to get the cork out to drink from one...

And we didn't have no fancy "cola." All we had was sarsparilla, and we were thankful to have it...

coinkat · November 4, 2005 11:11AM

tabs on soda and beer? oooh how I remember them...

docday2003 · November 5, 2005 1:45AM

Now that the set has been sold, I am surprised that the collection is still listed as current finest.

$125K Canadian, that's like $200 US right?

MyWorldCoinTypeSet · November 5, 2005 3:32PM

Wow, MadMarty manages to offend me. Take that back, you should know better.

I wish I could have bought that set for $200 US. Dang it.

ColinCMR · November 7, 2005 10:40AM

sounds awesome!

MyWorldCoinTypeSet · November 7, 2005 12:42PM

Hmmm, now that you put it into that perspective

Anyone totalled the final hammer prices yet? I was there for session 2 (tokens, cents, and 5 cents) but not session 3 whee this set was sold.

I haven't got the prices realized. But I heard that most of it went above estimate.

WOW New Canadian Set
