SirAnthonyAC

I'd LOVE to see some close ups of the coins from that $75,000 set!

DoubleEagle59

upgrade if possible or

start a new series.

OKbustchaser

add the rest of the coins that belong in a type set.

Broadstruck

Resubmit it to see if all those cracked slab coins come back the same?

cucurbit

Where's the fun in buying completed sets?

Especially a type set.

recipe for loss of a big chunk of $75,000, IMO

LanLord

make more!

I have at least 4 type albums going. Type sets are addicting

something wrong there.

the description inicates that there is a 94 (1794) lib cap, 1793 lib cap, 11 (1811?) classic, 19 (1819?) coronet, and 54 (1854?) braided large cents.

Any one wanna explain how they got 5 large cents in a 7070?

Go to Disneyworld?

The auction will probably get pulled because of all the numerical grades listed.

I can't see anyone wanting to spend $75,000 like this. Where's the fun in that? You own someone else's collection, big whoop.

(And yes, I know, most coins were in someone else's collection at some point, but there's a difference between buying a piece and buying the whole dang thing.)

I would work on upgrading or put that one in the SDB and start another.

Complete a registry set.

Very nice looking set, but way out of my league

Good luck with it.

Thats where Id be...

sumnom

Go into mourning and then either start upgrading or a new set.

marmac

Start over with another one. The theme could be any number of things- first year, last year, overdates, error coins,..the sky is the limit.

I may be wrong, but I don't think that auction belongs to the OP. I've actually seen it listed before, probably when eBay ran another listing fee special, I think originally the owner had it up for $100,000.

Really? That's my mistake then. I'll edit my post.

That's a lot of dough for raw coins.

CarlWohlforth

I would not trust the grading or price unless I could examine those coins in person.

To answer the original question that is not a complete type set. There are many major varieties not represented. I like the Seated No Arrows design best. Where are the Arrows? What about Jefferson War Nickels? Both Buffalo nickels? At least two SLQs.

So even if one has all the major types one can branch into modern types, California gold, and oh so many more.

Pahrump Coins. Is that not Robert Chambers of Shop at Home fame?

I agree that in building a type set most of the "fun" is in the hunt! Ninety or so individual purchases. A single purchase is ...???

TomB

He has been trying to sell that set on ebay for nearly two years I believe.

Millertime

Upgrade!!


Such as this 1860-O PCGS VF25 Seated Dollar:



To this 1844 NGC XF45 Seated Dollar:

Start collecting currency?

Looks like a good way to round out your set.

pennyannie

That has been on Ebay for a long time. I may submit a 10k offer.

I drove to Pahrump the other day and bought a collection and then decided to look at this type set. Could
not find Pahrump coins anywhere. Asked at a couple of businesses if they knew where they were and not
a soul knew them. Kind of disappointed that I didn't find them. Heck the Pawn shop didn't even know
where they were.

This one's been up on the 'bay before.

Didn't sell then, won't sell now.

bluelobster

Screw collecting, buying a high quality type set like that, you would become an expert numistmatist, in one fell swoop

plus, what great pics....I'm thinking of slapping another mortgage on the house!
