Congrats Bill. That is quite an accomplishment. Wish I could be there with you all. I will be back in 15th (where I started about a year ago). Nice job!
A hearty congratulations, cosmicdebris! I really think the comments showing where you got the coins is a nice touch.
That's a great achievement!
New collectors, please educate yourself before spending money on coins; there are people who believe that using numismatic knowledge to rip the naïve is what this hobby is all about.
Finished with a 66.28, if I crunched 'em correctly. Let's see? Where's that put me? Hmmm... gotta go look... be right back...
Wow- looks like I'll squeak into #7 Current when the update goes through, and barely get into the Top Ten All Time. Better than I had hoped, though I originally aspired to hit the Top Five. Could have done that with some upgrading, I guess, but I lost interest and decided to play with older stuff.
Now that I am done, I will retire gracefully. Will probably keep the set up a day or two after the update, then into history it goes. The remaining post-1964 coins I didn't sell on the B/S/T Forum will go to eBay, and I will go to The Big Set (1792-1964). Guess I will never have a front-page set.
LM I will see you in the Big set but it will be a very slow process for me. As for the front page I think they really need to rethink that and put the top 10 instead of the top 5.
I know it felt great to finish my 1959-present Proof Type set and my Proof Ike Set.
I will see you in the new 1950-present CS/PR and PR only sets, the new 20th Major Type CS/PR set and am considering the the 20th Major Type CS only set and the 1950-present CS only set.

I'm 5 coins shy of complete, but two are gold and won't be in the new set. (1 of those 2 will be in the gold design set, so I'm still looking for it)

Just crunched the last numbers in tonight.
