AWESOME

Broadstruck · September 17, 2010 1:37AM

How many upgrades did you get as with a quick scan I think I counted 41 pluses

Justacommeman · September 17, 2010 1:51AM

Bruce, you didn't fool around putting this set back together! Congrat's!!!!! You were on of the guys I was alluding to on these boards when mentioning a couple of heavyweights were back in the game. You did not disappoint. Well done sir.................MJ

blu62vette · September 17, 2010 2:12AM

Amazing set, the New Rochelle really stood out to me.

Goldbully · September 17, 2010 2:20AM

I think I just found my favorite.......

kryptonitecomics · September 17, 2010 2:31AM

How long did it take to put this set together? There are quite a few coins in the set that you just couldn't walk into a major show and find or find at auction so I assume it took quite some time to put a set together of this quality

RTS · September 17, 2010 2:39AM

Nice.

Zoins · September 17, 2010 2:45AM

Wow. That Pan Pac Half is sweet. Congrats!

coinsarefun · September 17, 2010 2:54AM

Who cares about the coins....do you still have the HOG?

Connecticoin · September 17, 2010 5:24AM

Wow!

Perhaps, unless of course you're buried with it.

richardshipp · September 17, 2010 5:28AM

Well 1 out of 2 wishes ain't bad as I'm sure your first demand can be arranged

Eagleguy · September 17, 2010 5:57AM

Now I know who has all the nice Arkansas and Boone issues!

Incredible set Bruce!

coinguy1 · September 17, 2010 6:08AM

Congratulations, Bruce - enjoy.

mozin · September 17, 2010 6:22AM

This set may well stand as the top set for many years, if not forever.

I noticed most all the upgraded coins earned the plus, while a few appear to have earned an extra point with SecurePlus. PCGS graders must have truly enjoyed grading this set.

Broadstruck · September 17, 2010 6:57AM

<< This set may well stand as the top set for many years, if not forever. >>

Possibly as far as registry points are concerned...

Yet the #2 non retired set is the Cali Collection which is only a minuscule 0.47% registry points underweight, with far more toners mostly all but a few in OGH and Rattlers which CommemDude has no desire to loose for a few dozen pluses.

I've already purchased a new lens and second copy stand to travel to image CommemDude's whole set this fall, but I'm already sweating Phil's Tru-Views.

lcoopie · September 17, 2010 7:01AM

wow

InYHWHWeTrust · September 17, 2010 12:26PM

Bruce, simply amazing, mind-blowing, eclipsing set!

Thanks for sharing!!

sebrown · September 17, 2010 12:32PM

Yes, an amazing set indeed! Job well done on some spectacular Commems!

mommam17 · September 17, 2010 12:36PM

Bruce- How many, if any, where part of your last commem collection? Great viewing!

keyman64 · September 17, 2010 12:49PM

Very nice!

MFH · September 18, 2010 3:00AM

Bruce,

I could get lost looking at your collection...
what a joy to behold. I'm sure you'll be spending
many hours looking at each and every coin !!

Thanks for sharing. You have exquisite taste.

BG · September 18, 2010 7:40AM

Fantastic Set!!!!!!

mcarney1173 · September 18, 2010 7:58AM

I think you should put these coins in the 50-piece type set instead of the lower grade set you currently have.

BigMoose · September 18, 2010 8:38AM

Good God, Bruce, your Commems are absolutely beautiful! And I bet they look even better in hand. TomT.

slinc · September 18, 2010 9:34AM

Ok I did drool a little, Love the Delaware.

breakdown · September 18, 2010 10:12AM

First of all, thanks for sharing this great set. I may be in the minority but I like Commem's that have understated beautiful toning that goes with great luster (no offense to those that love monster toning). There are some great examples here:
47-S BTW
36 Cincinnati
Grant without star
Hudson
Norfolk (okay, this one's not understated but it's a winner!)
Roanoke
35-D Texas

Congratulations and enjoy!

scher · September 22, 2010 10:08AM

Thanks for all the kind words!
Working on getting the pops straight..seems
they didnt wipe out old pops after secure holdering
the coins..Commems Rock!

melvin289 · September 22, 2010 12:36PM

Bruce,

As one that attempted the 144 piece Classic Commem set and came up short, let me say you have put together one amazing set. I had to be put on oxygen 3 times just to view your set. Just kidding. Congratulations on a job well done and good luck with your future upgrades.

SeattleSlammer · September 22, 2010 12:47PM

Absolutely the best of the best. Man, I'm pretty much speechless now.

coolest · September 22, 2010 2:30PM

WoW!

TPRC · September 22, 2010 2:33PM

WOW! That New Rochelle is amazing!

mcarney1173 · September 24, 2010 9:59AM

Do you know anything about the >67 Lafayette Dollar?

yellowkid · September 24, 2010 10:44AM

WOW!! All stunning, but the Pan Pac, Gettysburg, Lincoln and Stone Mountain really grabbed me. Nice going!!

thatoneguy · September 24, 2010 11:08AM

What an amazing set!

SoCalBigMark · September 24, 2010 1:10PM

As a kid I remember waiting for a check from Bruce after delivering Coffee to his shop in Riverside, sometimes he made me wait for awhile!

metalmeister · September 24, 2010 1:38PM

Congrats

scher · September 25, 2010 8:26AM

An add'd bonus to any collection these days sure is internet
community..so many old friends and collectors ive grown to admire
discussing various issues and even some of my coins! Wow!
To answer a few ?? always wanted to do the 144 pc set so bought a
few of my old coins from a set sold in 05' and had kept a few for 10 yrs.
or so with the idea of a complete set in the future..then bought most
of a couple sets thru private treaty..filled in a few holes and there ya go..
Obviously a must to work with dealers who value your business and know
what they are doing..I really like most of the coins in the set a lot..a few
i want to improve upon or just find that crazy awesome example..I have to
wait but feel that the relationships built thru collecting will bring the coins
when the time is right for an improvement to the set..My favorite coin might surprise
a few..the 36d san diego..it really wows me!
Bruce Scher
ps to longacre..still ridin the hogs!
