Congratulations to the #1 Proof Platinum collector

#1 Proof Platinum Collection - 100% PCGS PR70DC
To me this is fantastic. I tried for many years to achieve this level in the proof platinums, but came up a bit short. Most likely The Garris Collection will forever remain in the top position of the PCGS Registry, and deservingly so, as it is a very big accomplishment. Congratulations to Mr. Garris on a job very well done! I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this collection becomes a PCGS Hall Of Fame Collection. image

    RC: my fellow Plat pioneer from years back, nice to see you on the boards, what strikes your fancy in collecting these days?

    RC: You are correct. Building a complete set of (40) PCGS-PR70DCAM Plats is truly an amazing accomplshment. And, yes, you did come close at (39) PR70DC coins!

    On top of that, Mr. Garris is a true gentleman and an all around fascinating guy who really loves his Plats and deserves the enjoyment of his great collection.

    I would expect there to be (2) more perfect sets of PR70DC Plats completed before the year is out - one to our resident board member, Bruce Scher, who already possesses the "crown jewel" 1997 $100 PR70DCAM piece and is well on his way to that goal (ditto for the other unregistered collector as well who should accomplish the perfect set goal this year as well).

    With the design change every year, this collection is one of the neatest sets out there in all of registryland.

  • Gents,

    Sorry for the delay in response, I have had some trouble getting registered and logged on the Board. This is my first post.

    Thanks very much for the kind words and comments. I really appreciate the response.

    Whether one collects Classics or Moderns, large or small in base collections, etc., just to be able to assemble a little piece of history in a collection is a very daunting and exciting task. Each of you have assembled magnificent collections, retired or current, and in reality, an amazing accomplishment to hold with pride.

    RC, BBpM, wondercoin, COINBOY, scher, and Bond007, my hat is off to you! Your post, the professionalism used, the sharing of your expertise and knowledge, has been appreciated by many on this board, especially by me.

    I look forward to continue to study and learn from your experience.

    Regards,

    Steve

    Boy those Plats are purdy! Not as Purdy as some Roosies I've seen. imageimage

    Later, Paul.

  • These are rare coins by mintages. In 70, this has to be a spectacular collection as well as a hugely profitable investment. Congratulations. Just Having Fun

    What an absolute tremendous accomplishment. These are some very low mintage eagles and obtaining a perfect 70 for the entire set, well., it can't get any better than that. Congrats! image
  • Steve -

    Great to see one of the PLAT "top dogs" participate here on the boards and share your experiences.

    You know, I've learned more here in 3+ years than I ever thought I'd know about coins in a lifetime. Despite some negativity here and there, this is a really cool place to be...
