Bill - You created the Collectors Mint Set (Complete Set) and are #1 in my book. I am happy to close the year underneath your set. PCGS should give you an award for creating such a cool registry set

COSMICDEBRIS' CREATION

I second that....Great job Cosmic debris (even though you sniped that MS68 96-W from me) Great job Buddy. I started that set too..............look for me way down towards the bottom. Walt

Great Job.... Bill. Your set is #1 with your true fellow registry pals. Mitch, your comments demonstrate true character. I can tell you live by the golden rule. It is to bad many of our fellow members can not understand the meaning of your words. I hope all the snipers have a good feeling about themselves. By the way, I was not sniped. I don’t have a set that qualifies, but its a shame the recognition has been robbed from many that “I” feel deserve it. Like Bill, E. Lyle, and Hutton, just to name a few. It is truly a shame and a dishonor to our community that we have created. Bill... you the man! #1...

My true congratulations for Bill is not intended to be negative for Jim from our boards who beat him out fair and square. Jim did not hide anything - Jim actively and openly sought his final coin this week to finish the set and win. I personally chose to not enter my last coin, because I was thrilled to see Bill win. Again, as far as I am concerned, Bill did win in the most important contest of all - the Registry of public opinion

Yeah... and Bill by FAR, has the best pictures of his coins out of all those sets

Currin · June 30, 2004 12:31PM

Mitch, I agree with your point. Bill added 2 out of 20. That’s respectful, I think. I have seen one case 20 coins out of 22. That’s well... you know! Jim, I do agree with Mitch, and apologize if my comments was seen negative towards you. Great Job Jim... Bill... you still the man!

wondercoin · June 30, 2004 12:37PM

"Mitch, I agree with your point. Bill added 2 out of 20."

I think you meant to say Jim here?

The Collectors Mint Set should be a great competition in 2005!

Currin · June 30, 2004 12:42PM

Yeah, Jim added 2.. respectful. Be intereting to see what you have to add. Go get them.. ... Mitch

Cosmic, you be "the man".

dbldie55 · June 30, 2004 3:32PM

Who is the last olympic curling champion?

I realize this is unrelated as Curling has been around longer than most of us, but I think the true comparison is there.

RegistryCoin · June 30, 2004 3:35PM

Obviously you don't have a kid in Curling... It can be cutthroat.

I also was hoping Bill would have the # 1 set. When he saw he was knocked out of the box he pm'ed me to go ahead and list my last coin. Joe

cosmicdebris · June 30, 2004 6:11PM

Geez guys what a post to wake up to.

I was really hoping to finally win something. But it appears not to be. Thanks for all your kind words.

As for Jim in the imortal words of Mad Marty "YOU SUCK".

Actually congrats Jim.

Again I liked to thank Joe and Mitch, you guys know what you did.

cosmicdebris · July 1, 2004 12:27AM

In honor of you guys and this thread I have updated MY SET DESCRIPTION.

BigE · July 1, 2004 1:07AM

Great job Bill, looks like a lot of guys are having fun competeing in YOUR catergory

Congrats Bill!

segoja · July 2, 2004 12:27AM

WOW! All that because I'd been trying to complete this set for the last month with a $30 coin!

Wondercoin, you should have sniped me on the set. That would be the real competition. Not taking anything away from Bill, but in the spirit of the best set wins, you would have been able to take me.

Bill has known for 6-8 months that I was gunning for him. I posted all the coins in the set for all to see, and I get blasted in the "forum of public opinioin" for having a nice set!

Oh well, that's the fun of the registry sets!

Let's see how high this set goes next year.

Maybe Bill can out gun us all!

Good Luck to all in the registry wars!

wondercoin · July 2, 2004 12:35AM

"and I get blasted in the "forum of public opinioin" for having a nice set!"

Jim: Please re-read this thread - you were not Blasted whatsoever.

segoja · July 2, 2004 1:40AM

Mitch,

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but some of the comments talk about folks being robbed of having the top set. Maybe I took it personally and shouldn't have.

James not Jim!

cosmicdebris · July 2, 2004 4:32AM

James, Joe and Mitch plus whoever else, I have taken this set as far as I want to go and can go with it. With my coin budget the upgrades just are too costly for me to justify the price for an extra .02 or .05 point each. I am happy with my set as is and I wish you all good luck in 2005. Let's see who can go pop top with none higher for the whole set.

Good luck to you all.

P.S. Anyone wanna buy my set I want a new Digtial SLR Camera instead?

joeyuk · July 2, 2004 4:46AM

I feel competition is great. Bill, I was willing to take a knee out of respect for your getting this set recognized but at the same time to each their own. I like this set and plan to take it further but like alot of people have said I am enjoying the coins not the recognition. About halfway thru the set I bought a new camera for my wife (yeah right). It is a nikkon coolpix 8700. As soon as I learn to use it properly I plan to reshoot the whole set. I used a epson perfection 2400 photo flatbed scanner to take the first scans. Joe

segoja · July 2, 2004 6:39AM

Bill,

Many of mine are homemade. That's the real thrill of the chase!

Go for it....those coins are out there.

I just made a 59 half in DCAM and a 51 dime in DCAM. Picked up from local shows. Also made a 71-D in 67 last week, again local shows.

The stuff is out there if you look!

The modern is even easier, because there's a lot of it, and most folks can't grade it. The high end stuff is rare, but with some patience, you'll find it!

James

cosmicdebris · July 2, 2004 8:12PM

My local shows, for lack of a better word, suck. Just ask Ponitacinf. Anytime invested in traveling to shows would offset the savings of making my own.

pontiacinf · July 3, 2004 8:52AM

im lucky as the cosmic legend lives very close to me backyard, its nice to have fame sooooooo close

congrats Bill on a deffinate achivement!

pontiacinf · July 3, 2004 8:55AM

ugh

looking at the list of coins makes me sick now, as I held 2 coins that couldve slamed you to the top spot permanently

cosmicdebris · July 3, 2004 10:26AM

Thanks Bill
