I believe that any decent set that is 100% complete would be a great addition to the Smithsonian, as it is based on a complete collection of classics and moderns.
Just because a coin sits in the S.I. doesn't mean it has to be an Ultimate Rarity. Don't they have ALL of our coins?
I was just thinking about the same question - would the SI be a market for registry coins. I would hope that they would also be interested in a nice modern proof set.

I don't know what it takes for a set to be located in the Smithsonian Institute. But, I do agree with Keyrock that the ESM collection he mentions is such a marvelous set. It's 95% complete and that is truely an accomplishment in itself. I hope to someday see it completed. Congratulations to the owner for taking on such a challenging set.
Why this set is not in the HOF is beyond me, I wish it would be 'published', maybe it would get more respect.... The High Desert Complete U.S. Type Set (1792-1964). 100% Complete! 137 Coins 63.96 of a possible 66.95 rating. Best set since 2002!
