Would any of the Registry sets qualify for the Smithsonian Institute?

I have seen some great sets in the Registry. Which current sets do you think should be at least displayed in a museum? image

    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    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....

    No doubt the ESM Cent collection. Also the Kesselgesser collection of Bolender Bust Dollars; not to mention TDN's sets image

    These two would be AWESOME.
