That is the hard part now that all these coins are in slabbed, but i would post some pictures from time to time.

I already started, and its getting to pricey.

How long did that take you? It's not all about money, those coins are hard to find in orginial condition. Utterly Fantastic!

TwoKopeiki · November 25, 2007 6:51AM

Nice set! Congratulations!

I have been collecting since 1990, however not much focus on proof until after 2005. The 1903 5 centavos proof (raw) was my first purchase on ebay that turned out to be PF66.

lordmarcovan · November 26, 2007 2:47AM

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!

lordmarcovan · November 26, 2007 2:48AM

BTW, there ain't nothin' "poor" about your pictures. They're better than a lot of mine, and those of other folks.

Nice work.

jetblack740il · November 27, 2007 1:56AM

All pictures can now be viewed on my registry set. Enjoy, and please add any comments.

Very nice!

Awesome stuff and great pics!

It's not often that a Darksider can say he's completed a set

Very true spoon. In this case two Darksiders hold the top spot in the USPI category with 100% completion. Congrats jetblack, you're awfully close to Mr JHF.

As for myself, I've just finished a complete Ionian collection too, that has yet to be graded and maybe even registered at PCGS. We'll talk about it with Ron in Chicago I hope.

Hey, wow! Great stuff, and congratulations on completing your proof set! It's surprisingly hard, isn't it? That 05 is a ball buster to get nice.

That 03 is lovely. I stared at those pix, with until I start going cross eyed.

And I'll be in Manila tomorrow for a week or so. Have to see if I can find some good new material.

Congrats again -- that's a great accomplishment.

Warm regards,

Just Having Fun

It sure was surprisingly hard especially the the 05 are hard to come by. I just got the 05 peso in the mail today and here is the picture.

Justhavingfun · November 29, 2007 8:02PM

Yes, the difference in mintage between the 1905 proof set (487) and the 1906 (500) and the '08 (500) seems nominal to me. But the 05 has always been disproportionately harder to find, especially to find nice.

Congratulations again. That 05 proof peso is a beaut.

Warm regards,

Just Having Fun

According to Lyman Allen price guide this 1905 peso proof in PF65 is listed as $1,850.00, check this out! [/L]
