For anyone interested, I finally posted pictures to my 50 piece commem type set up on the NGC registry site. Wll have to redo quite a few to get the "yellow" out, but it is a start.
Craig- Thanks for the compliment. It is difficult to pick a favorite as there are many coins I really like in the set. If I had to pick just one, it would have to be the Boone as it has the combination of perfection along with the most amazing color to be seen on the reverse of the coin. Hard to tell from the poor images we put up. Lakesammon took a much better picture of the coin which can be found here. As far as which coin will be most difficult to duplicate. I would have to say that after consulting with Gregg Bingham on this, who has seen far more Commems than I have, the Bridgeport will most likely be that coin. They just don't come nice. I found this coin in a Stacks sake a few years ago along with the Lynchburg in the set. I hope to have up better images within the next few weeks.
I love the Oregon! The colors on that one are absolutely neon! I do have a question......Is that one sitting OK in the holder? I don't know anything about commems but the reverse looks kind of rotated...Is it supposed to look like that or is the obverse slightly tilted (right to left) as it sits in the holder? Just curious....
I do like the NGC site for being user-friendly and allowing both PCGS and NGC coins.
Congrats on putting together a set that will go down as one of the "GREATS"!
Dave: So you got an offer you could not refuse from the GODFATHER of Classic Silver Commems?
CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SALE OF YOUR INCREDIBLE COMMEM COLLECTION. You could write a book just on your efforts alone in getting those coins in the current holders they are in; not to mention the holders many will find themselves in the future!

The ultimate set has now been assembled. Here is a link to The SET Also updated was J & L's 144 piece set. Both sets now reside atop the NGC Registry placing Bingham at #2. A big congratulations to Larry on his new additions to his sets.
The Las Vegas Collection set is no more. The images and coins have been transferred to the new owner, therefore there is nothing to view at the previous set.

Great work!

The more qualities observed in a coin, the more desirable that coin becomes!
