Time for a big party, type set people!
When I started, I looked up to CosmicBill a lot. He has just completed a very respectable set. I am honored to share the limelight with him.
I never thought I would complete the set at the same time as he did, much less supercede him (albeit briefly).
Bill- many congratulations- I suppose we can pat each other on the back. The fact that I finished a bit higher than you shouldn't sting much, since I will be retiring my set within 2 days of the update going through. You can then enjoy another small climb, probably.
The Lord Marcovan set Set rating 66.28 (after the next update)
The Cosmicdebris set Set rating 65.60
The All-Time Finest list
The Current Finest list
At the time of this message, my update has not gone through, so I still show at 95% with Bill's completed set above me.
On to The Big Set! See some of you there. (Hopefully not too many of you, LOL)

Quite an accomplishment!
Always looking for:
Irish Coins & Tokens - New Hampshire Tokens
Morgan Dollars
Coins & Tokens of Rhodesia, Suid Afrika, Namibia & Nyasaland
IrishNumismatist
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.
A nice accomplishment and I'm sure a great feeling!
Check out my PQ selection of Morgan & Peace Dollars, and more at:

Congrats!! Very nice job.
I have already sent Bill congrats on his thread.
See you both in the new sets.

1976 Proof Set
I was surprised to see so many red updated icons in the 1900-present set today! I guess everybody is resigned to the changes and is comfortable with new purchases.
I sent in my 1907 proof set to be renumbered and regraded. I got a Cam on my well toned 1907 dime! The quarter and half missed. The quarter got bumped a point. And the big surprise: the Indian cent also got bumped! I need to learn more about grading proof copper, really all copper.
That pop higher number is screwy. It says my PR 63 Barber Quarter is 1 of 10 with 1 higher. In the Jan. pop guide it says there were 27 in 63, 61 in 64 and 43 higher than that.
Congratulations to every body!!
